Fashion

I’m finishing this up while watching the Aggies play Texas State and so it’s going to be quick. The good news is we are currently up 14-0 and so I’m feeling fairly relaxed even though I have some concerns about our offensive line.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. j.crew utility rain jacket

I love a yellow rain jacket because it just seems like it’s what God intended rain jackets to be. It’s like sunshine on a cloudy day. This one is a great length and fit, plus it’s 50% off and on sale for $59.

It comes in other colors in case yellow isn’t your thing.

2. chic perspective beige sweater

This is a great sweater with cute ruffle detail. I like that it could be dressed up for the office or dressed down with jeans and booties. It’s $60.

3. cozy boyfriend pocket sweater with monogram

This is the kind of thing I will live in when the weather cools off. I love a monogram and I love that it’s long enough to wear with leggings. It would also make a great Christmas gift if you are the kind of person who thinks about these things in September.

It’s $40 and comes in several color options.

4. camo print pullover

I actually own this and love it. It’s a waffle knit so lightweight and super soft. And it’s long enough to wear with leggings. The fit is oversized so you may want to keep that in mind. It’s $38.

5. striped duster cardigan

This comes in a few stripe options, but I like this one. It would look great over a simple black t-shirt dress when the weather cools off. Or perfect to wear with jeans and a tee. It’s $44.

6. talulah oversized grey tee

Shop Talulah is one of my new favorite places to shop online. They have new arrivals every Tuesday night and I bought this shirt a few weeks ago. It’s long enough to wear with leggings with an asymmetrical hem, but looks really cute tied in a knot on the side. It also comes in white and it’s $32.

7. gibson hi sugarplum tie front skirt

I’ve had my eye on this skirt and now it’s on sale for $35.40. I love it in all the colors and patterns but this pink could be really cute paired with black and a denim jacket for fall. The reviews say to size up so keep that in mind.

8. dolce vita wedge slip on sneaker

These wedge sneakers are everywhere this fall and these are a great deal at $79.99. They also come in dark gray.

9. vivaldi textured tie neck tunic

This is on sale for $59.95 but there’s an extra 50% off all sale items at Anthro. Keep in mind that it’s all final sale. However, this tunic might be worth the risk. I can see it paired with skinny jeans and boots for the fall. And it’s hard for me to resist a crisp white shirt.

10. free people smocked shoulder top

Macy’s has a ton of stuff on sale for Labor Day, including some Free People things at 50% off. This top is just $34.00 until Monday, September 2 and comes in several other colors.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

Also, the Aggies are now up 21-0 and our offensive line looks better. I knew you’d want to know.

So just in case you missed it on social media, a lot of kids went back to school this week. As for us, we start on Monday but we have soccer this weekend so the reality is that we are back to the real world as of Saturday morning. And maybe that’s for the best because our house has devolved into a place filled with nothing but Netflix marathons and potato chips. Did I just describe heaven? Maybe.

But fall is always my favorite time of year so I’ll take solace in that. We only have two weeks left before college football is a regular occurrence even if we still have two months left before it actually feels like fall.

Speaking of football, Kristy at Two Funny Girls reached out to me and wanted to offer all my readers free shipping on her super cute tailgate party supplies that you can find here.

Just look at these darling campus skyline cups. They are just $8.00 for a sleeve of ten and perfect for all your tailgating needs.

Of course I’m a little partial to this Texas A&M version, although there are several other schools to choose from. You can find all the campus skyline cups here.

And this is also a great time to get a new clear crossbody monogrammed bag just in case you have plans to visit your favorite stadium live and in person. I have this exact bag and it’s the perfect size to hold your cell phone, lipgloss, a credit card and some cash. You can find them here.

You can get free shipping with the code YAYFOOTBALL at checkout on any of the tailgate supplies from now until Wednesday, August 21st so shop at will, my friends, and hopefully your favorite team will be as ready as you are when the season kicks off.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. textured linen button-down

I love a good button-down shirt and I really love this textured version because it works well even if it’s a little bit wrinkled. It would be great paired with jeans and sandals now and with jeans and boots later on.

It’s $59.95 but there’s an extra 25% off all sale merchandise at Anthro. It also comes in a gorgeous blue color.

2. cross ahead sweater

I have a white/cream sweater problem as in I can’t quit buying white/cream sweaters. I just love the way they look and how versatile they are. This one is $42 and it also comes in turquoise, yellow and coral if you’d rather have a color.

3. promises kept dress

I think this is a really cute dress and appears to be comfortable as well. It’s $42 and comes in several color options including a really cute leopard print if you’re into that.

4. dr. schools no chill sneaker

These sneakers are on sale for $49.99. They also come in several other color options and have great reviews. I really like the leopard for just a little pop to an outfit.

5. fuzzy fleece sherpa half-zip pullover

I nearly ordered a fleece just like this one from Abercrombie last winter, but never did. And then I saw this on Amazon the other day for just $26.99. I ordered it and, let me tell you, it’s so fluffy I could die. It’s soft inside and out and just super cozy. It comes in several color options as well.

For size reference, I got the medium because I wanted it a little big and it is the perfect oversized fit, big but not sloppy big. I’m normally a 4-6 in tops.

6. loft striped tie waist flare pocket dress

I think this is the cutest basic black dress and I find a v-neck to be universally flattering. It’s normally $79.50 but Loft has 40% off with code FUNFUNFUN at checkout.

7. aerie ribbed henley long sleeve t-shirt

This ribbed henley is perfect with jeans or leggings and it’s so soft. You could wear it on its own or as a layer. It’s on sale for $27.96 and comes in several color options.

8. aerie plush drapey sweatshirt

I have ordered this and am still waiting on it to get here, but I believe it has the potential to be my best clothing friend this fall and winter. It’s on sale for $31.46.

And I plan to pair it with these aerie plush joggers because when your loungewear matches, you look like a person who might actually quit watching Netflix and do something productive.

The joggers are on sale for $27.96.

9. daily ritual jersey swing dress

I bought this dress about a month ago and it has become a wardrobe staple for me during these days when Texas has lost its mind and the heat is insane. It’s very lightweight and soft and just easy to throw on when you have to go outside and the heat is hateful. Plus, it’ll look cute with a denim jacket later on.

It’s just $18.50 and comes in several color options.

10. free people corduroy flare

I believe I’ve mentioned how much I love flares and I think I’m going to have to get a pair of this corduroy version. They are $78 and come in several color options. Free People has free shipping and free returns on all denim right now and I highly suggest you try their denim even if you don’t like these particular flares. I think their jeans are super reasonably priced, high quality and very flattering on a variety of body types.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

Well I’m going to blame the heat and my lack of attention to all details during the summer time for the fact that I thought I posted our latest podcast and was apparently wrong because it’s nowhere to be found. But if you’re a podcast fan, you can find the latest episode here on our Facebook page or here on Sophie’s blog.

This is also the week we launched our new Patreon option where you can get two bonus episodes of the podcast every month for just $5.00. If you’ve been wondering “How can I hear more about nothing of real importance?” then this is for you. You can sign up for that here if you are interested.

Also, I’ve shared before that my sister, Amy, makes darling earrings and she’s offering 20% off her college football collection through Saturday, August 3 with no code needed at checkout.

You can find her college collection here if you are in the market for some cute earrings to get ready for football season. Otherwise known as the best time of the year.

And, finally, here are some cute things I found this week. In full disclosure, this is a really hard time to find clothes because it’s so hot to think about fall and too hot to think about caring whether or not you look cute for the rest of the summer.

1. barclay maxi dress

I think this is gorgeous and would transition perfectly into fall in this indigo colorway. It’s $108.

2. red peplum sleeve dress

I’ve always thought this site has the cutest things and then I forget to feature them. But that changes today. This is a great dress and just $48.

3. part of the plan royal blue ruffle sleeve dress

I bought a dress in this royal blue color and it’s become one of my favorites. This one is really similar to the one I got from Old Navy and it’s $49.

4. rayne top

Well I’m in love with this shirt. It’s stripes, it’s embroidery, it’s perfect. And it’s $52. It’s another piece that you can wear now and into the fall.

5. ravanelle tunic

I’m here to tell you that leopard print in all it’s variations is a trend that’s not going away. I really like this tunic length top. It would look great with white jeans now and blue jeans with booties later. It’s $39.

6. CRZ yoga high waist leggings

I’ve been hearing rave reviews about these leggings. And they’re just $28 and come in a ton of color options.

7. asos long pleated smock top

This gorgeous top is on sale for $20 but an extra 15% off with the code ASOSSALEGRAB at checkout. I plan to wear it with my flare jeans and wedge heels.

8. highland tee

I was in Free People yesterday and saw this tee and loved it. It’s a great length that could be worn with leggings. The buttons are functional so you could wear it open over a tank. It’s $68 and comes in a ton of color options

And actually I just saw that it’s on sale here at Macy’s for just $40.80 right now.

9. universal thread collared shirt dress

I was in Target yesterday because it’s my second home. And I can’t tell you how great this dress is if you’re a person who likes an easy, comfortable dress WITH POCKETS to throw on. It’s super soft and longer than it appears in this picture. It hit me right above the knee and I’m 5’6″. I also normally wear a 4 and the small fit perfectly. It would be great with sandals now and with booties or tall boots for the fall.

It’s $27.99 and also comes in a gold color and a burgundy color.

10. colsie wide leg pajama pants

I tried these on and they are so comfortable. I love a wide-leg pajama bottom because I feel like they look a little more lounge-wear than straight up pajama. These are super soft and $19.99. I tried on the small and it was a perfect fit with enough room to make them comfortable.

And this colsie striped lounge sweatshirt is perfect with them or even just worn with jeans or leggings. It’s a terry sweatshirt so super soft and lightweight.

It’s $19.99.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

It’s like the early part of this year lasted about six years and the last three months have flown by and now it’s almost time to start thinking about fall clothes. Which I don’t hate. Fall is really my favorite time of the year so I’m always a little relieved when we get to August and I know we only have two months left of super hot temperatures. In other words, we are halfway through summer in Texas.

Also, on a different note, I featured a dress a while back that was from an online shop called LuluNina. They contacted me and offered to send me a few things and I’m sad to report that they weren’t great. The material was weird and it definitely wasn’t great quality. I hate to say that, but I just wanted you to know in case you saw that dress and were tempted to try it.

Anyway, here are some cute things I found this week:

1. sydney lace blouse

I have always been a sucker for a lace blouse and this one is no exception. It would look so great with a pair of high rise flares and I’m all about the flare jeans right now. It’s $98.

2. bohemian floral print empire waist maxi dress

This is an Amazon find and it looks cute with sandals or wedges, but could also just be a swimsuit coverup. It comes in tons of color and pattern options and it’s $19.99.

3. flutter sleeved tee dress

I like a t-shirt dress because they are easy and comfortable. This one is $39.95 but 30% off with no code needed at checkout. It also comes in yellow and a blue and white stripe. It comes in plus sizes as well.

4. zella live in high waist leggings

These are my favorite black leggings from Nordstrom and I buy a new pair every year during the Anniversary sale. They are on sale for $38.90 but normally $59.

They also have a 7/8 length version with pockets for the same price. You can find those here.

5. aerie desert sweatshirt

I have lived in my beach fleece sweatshirts this summer around the house, but I love this desert sweatshirt for the fall and winter because it’s long enough for leggings. They are on sale right now for $30. It comes in a bunch of colors and some patterned options.

6. ae plaid embroidered shirt

This is a great shirt for the transition to fall and it’s on sale for $37.46. It also comes in a red and black plaid. It’s perfect for jeans and boots or booties if the weather ever decides to cool off.

7. chuck taylor shoreline sneakers

I have the white version of these and wear them constantly. They are so easy to slip on and super comfortable. They are on sale for $39.90 and normally $60 and I think this pale pink color is so pretty.

8. tie hem blouse

I don’t know about this top but I am intrigued. It has a 70’s retro kind of thing going on that really appeals to me. It’s $24.99.

9. free people brooke flare jeans

Okay, the flare jeans. I am all in on these making a big comeback right now even though I never quit wearing them because the heart wants what it wants. These brooke flare jeans have all five star reviews and sound amazing. They are $78 plus free shipping and free returns on all jeans right now at Free People.

I also love these penny pull on flares that are also $78. I own these in black and they are my favorites. They are like leggings because they just pull on and they are so stretchy and comfortable and super flattering.

10. surfside mini dress

This is on sale right now for $19.95 and it also comes in white and light green. It’s just a great coverup option and maybe it’s the end of summer and you’re over coverups. But maybe you still want one and this is the perfect option.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

I’ve been out of town all week so this is going to be quick. I will say there are many good sale items to be found right now depending on what you may want or need.

Here are a few cute things I found this week:

1. j.crew rainbow enamel hoop earrings

I have loved these all summer because they are so bright and fun, yet still just a hoop. They are on sale for $23.99 but an extra 50% off with the code WHOA at checkout.

2. spanx faux leather leggings

This is the one thing I immediately ordered from the Nordstrom sale because I regretted not getting them all year last year. They are normally $98 but on sale for $64.90 during the sale and trust me when I say this is the only time you will see them on sale all year.

3. h&m v-neck tunic dress

I realize not everyone loves a tunic dress but they are a cool, comfortable option for the summer heat and that part of fall that isn’t really fall but still just more summer in September and October. I am a fan. This is at H&M for $19.99 and comes in other colors and patterns but Meghan Markle has made me like this olive green color.

4. halogen seamless crop bra

If you are in the market for a bra that is more of a lounge bra as opposed to the kind you immediately want to rip off your body when you get home, I have discovered that this is a good one. It’s normally $25 but on sale for $15.90 during the Nordstrom sale and comes in several color options.

5. madewell suede stripe transport leather tote

I love these Madewell transport totes for just a great all around handbag. They are normally $198 but on sale right now for $131.50. It also comes in olive green. Probably because of Meghan Markle.

6. caslon side snap tunic sweater

This is another thing I’m tempted to buy during the Nordstrom sale. I love a long tunic sweater and these snaps make this one cute. Plus, maybe it’s because I was a teen in the 80s but I kind of like this almost neon yellow. It’s normally $79 but on sale for $49.90. It comes in several color options in case this yellow doesn’t appeal to you.

7. daily ritual jersey muscle swing dress

This cute, simple dress is just $18.50 and perfect to get you through the rest of summer. I like that it’s almost knee-length. It comes in several color options and a few stripe options.

8. eva printed jute tote

Free People has 30% off all their sale items right now. This darling tote is on sale for $49.95 but an additional 30% off with no code needed at checkout. I would actually use this as an everyday bag during the summer because it’s too cute to save for just the beach.

9. your girl tunic

This is on sale at Free People for $59.95 plus 30% off. I bought one years ago and I still love it. It’s so soft and perfect with leggings when the weather cools off. It also comes in a coral color. And I have the XS and it has plenty of room and I’m never an XS.

10. nike no show socks

These are the best no show socks that I’ve tried because they stay put and don’t do that slink down thing that other socks do. They are on sale for $9.90 for a three pack.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.
