Back to Basics | Fall Wardrobe Essentials with Nordstrom

29 Aug 2017 Motherhood, Outfit Posts, Shopping & Gifts, Style

Hey girlies!! This post has taken me forever to compose because I’ve literally wanted to get everything in and wear it for you to make sure it is what I consider to be 💯 💯 I’ve got lots of basics in here mixed in with some other fun tops for going out, special lunches, etc… I live in basics Monday-Friday, wait, also Saturday and Sunday 😜 so you can definitely trust me on these!

I had to cancel a photoshoot so my mom and I headed to some local white walls with Grace to vary it up from the mirror selfies. I hope you like these, and this may be happening more now that mom is trained using my new camera (!!)

First up, this Leith Bodycon dress. Guys, GET THIS DRESS. It’s really comfortable, and flattering on all shapes and sizes, also comes in a ton of different colors. I also know some gals who are pregnant and rocking this dress with bumps.

(grace looks thrilled)

Dress // I’m wearing an extra-small and it fits me like a glove

Jacket // Gotta get this ladies, it’s the best military jacket I’ve ever tried. I think limited sizes are available but hopefully they’ll restock soon

Booties // OBSESSED with these!! The ankle height is perfect, and I love the shape of the toe, not too point, not too square, just right. The heel height is about 2/2.5 inches and they are comfy as heck.

Bag // This is my everyday bag. It’s by GiGi New York and it’s basically bullet-proof. I’ve had spills in it, it’s been thrown around all over the place and it’s in perfect shape.

Sunnies // These are the new sunnies everyone’s wearing and I thought they’d be too small on my big head but they are just right!

K, these jeans are amazing! They are the AG raw hem ankle skinny and they are so comfortable. They also fit like a dream, and the ankle is perfect on me because I’m a shortie. I also LOOOVE this top, such a perfect basic and it has these slits on the side which look great with camisoles underneath, or nothing if you’re feeling sexy.

see? Also these TOMS booties are legit, comfy and cute.

K, last but not least of the outfit shots, this short-sleeve tie top is great! It’s by madewell one of my favorite brands, and goes perfectly with my Jaime High-Waist Skinny Ankle jeans, which I LOVVEE. It’s an easy outfit, but a good one. Paired with booties and military coat, let’s go!

Lets Be Social

We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
