Is anyone else ready for the time change? I am counting down the minutes. It seems like we have had more rain than we usually get here in Southern California. I am SO ready for sunshine and longer days.

I am totally guilty of wishing my life away. Wishing it was morning so I can have my morning coffee (my fave time of day). Wishing the days were longer so we had more sunshine. And wishing January would finally end since it seems like THE LONGEST year (yes, I meant to say YEAR…lol) of my life! And yet somehow, my life is flashing before my eyes!

The days are long, but the years are short.

I started this blog when my son was just six months old and now he is twelve. So I take back what I said…how can we slow time down? I need to stop wishing for tomorrow and enjoy today.

OUTFIT DETAILS: Lovers & Friends Sweater, Mother Denim Jeans, Gigi Pip Hat and Tory Burch Slides (not pictured).

I used to think that puffy jackets were only for the snow. But now there are so many lightweight options that I think of them more as a wardrobe staple. I have a black Patagonia jacket and a North Face puffy jacket that I wear all the time. But this one is more of a fashion statement piece.

As most of you probably know, I am not really huge on cropped anything. So I was thrilled that this puffy jacket hits below my waist but above my hips. Do you know what we call that? The perfect length, that’s what! I am also loving the color of this coat. It’s an off white cream color and goes with everything. But the best news is that it is now on sale! And to be honest, I don’t know why! It is a new arrival, gets great reviews and is super cute.

So if you are still looking for a cute winter coat, I highly recommend this one. Shop it here, or you can shop all of my favorites below:

It’s fall, y’all! Which means it’s time to pull out your fall jackets. Here in Southern California, it rarely gets cold enough to need a heavy coat. So we can get away with these fun trendy jackets. Teddy bear, shearling lined, and faux fur coats are all the rage this season. And it looks like we are sticking with more of a cropped fit. I usually prefer a coat that hits closer to the hip, but these cropped versions are starting to grow on me. Or maybe I’m just getting used to it.

I still have my bomber jacket from high school (complete with my nickname monogram) but I recently picked up this one. It’s reversible and can be worn with athleisure wear or dressed up for date night since it isn’t as bulky. This is another great one if you like a little more length.

I’ve got a couple of faux fur coats in my closet but I am OBSESSED with this fawn colored coat. The color is SO gorgeous! This coat is an awesome statement piece, if you’re looking to dress up a LBD for the holiday season.

Which jacket style do you like best? I’d love to hear in the comments!

Elf on The Shelf is one of our favorite holiday traditions. We weren’t very creative when coming up with a name for him, so he just goes by “Elf”. But what he lacks in a name, I like to think he makes up in his “creativity” when hiding! Wink, wink (insert pat on the back here). So I thought I would share some our favorite Elf on The Shelf Ideas. Just in case you…I mean Elf, are running out of ideas.

My first suggestion is to check out Elf on The Shelf ideas on Pinterest. You can find my Elf ideas board here. In fact, most of my ideas are inspired by others. But the Target bullseye playground and dollar spot bins are amazing for finding props and little gifts for your Elf to bring. I made a horrible mistake one year and thought it would be cute if Elf brought a treat each day as well. As if remembering to move elf each night wasn’t enough, I now have to find a little treat for him to bring. Speaking of, The World’s Smallest Toys are perfect for props and/or gifts. But it doesn’t have to be anything big…sometimes Elf just brings a cup of cocoa or a piece of candy. My son is now twelve and still looks forward to waking up and finding him each morning, so it is all worth it.

Lastly, I used to buy new official Elf on the Shelf brand costumes each year (which got very expensive, very quick). Then I moved on to purchasing costumes for Elf on Etsy. There are some really cute niche ones for gamers, sports fans, etc. on Etsy. I even got an xbox controller outfit for our elf one year since my son loves video games. But now that Elf on the shelf has been around so long, you can even find costumes in the Target dollar bins! I scored and bought five new ones for this year (I’ll be sharing those later)!

YOU GUYS. I can not even tell you how excited I am to share that I was accepted as a REVOLVE Brand Ambassador. Revolve is one of my, if not THE FIRST place I go when I am looking for THE perfect outfit. I mean, my entire look for the Del Mar Races was from REVOLVE! But it’s not just for fancy occasion outfits. They also have the best basics and carry all of my favorite brands.

But let’s get back to becoming a REVOLVE Brand Ambassador. If you love fashion and love sharing your favorite REVOLVE finds with your friends/followers, I highly recommend you apply! Why not start earning cash (or store credit) for doing what you love!? It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.

_{SHOP. LINK. EARN.}

All you have to do to get started is complete the online application. Be sure to include as many of your social channels (& blog url) as possible. Once accepted, you will be provided with an online brand ambassador dashboard. This is where you can start creating links to share with your followers. You can also create a favorites collection (or create specific lists) to share several items all at once! You can see my favorites here.

I’m sure most of my readers are already familiar with REVOLVE, but just in case you aren’t, I thought I would share a few of my favorite new pieces for Fall. Starting with these flared jeans. I have accepted that skinny jeans are finally taking a back seat to straight leg & flared jeans. I’m not saying I’m ready to get rid of my skinnies. But I have found myself reaching for anything but lately! This was my first pair of GRLFRND jeans so I was pleasantly surprised when my regular size (27) fit perfectly.

Next I chose this cream fitted sweater by Majorelle. I paired it with my FAVORITE pair of distressed straight leg jeans and tucked it in to give it more of a bodysuit look. I went with a size medium and it fit just how I was hoping. If you are looking for a pair to update your Fall wardrobe, I highly recommend these. They also fit me true to size (27) and are currently on sale!

I am currently obsessed with this caramel color so HAD to have this beautiful wrap sweater. I’m wearing a size small but could have gone down a size. It’s a bit oversized. I bought these coated joggers a couple of months ago and this was my first time pulling them out. They are great though because they can be worn dressy (as I have done here) but can totally be dressed down simply by wearing them with sneakers instead.

Last but not least…you know I LOVE a cute mini dress! And a cute mini dress paired with cowboy inspired boots is one of my favorite trends this season.
