Fall List

I am officially surrendering to fall and embracing all the plaid, cozy sweaters and Halloween candy.

Plaid look // Pumpkin candle // Leftover candy brownies // Hunter rain boots // Thanksgiving crackers

Essie fall polishes (stylenomics, bobbing for baubles, smokin' hot, shearling darling)

I could never get on board with the pumpkin hype and lattes. Instead, I embrace fall with dark polishes, plaid button downs and my favorite rain boots.

A major storm came through Austin last weekend, thanks to Hurricane Patricia. It was nearly 48 hours of non-stop rain. As much as I love the rain, we had a weekend indoors watching movies and binge watch The Leftovers. (So good!)

Shopbop Sale picks!

I wanted to share my favorites of the Shopbop Sale.

Since there are wayyy too many fun things to pick from, I took my inspiration from these fabulous neutrals:

one // two (unknown) // three // four

Loving black and white neutrals for transitioning into fall. Here are some of my favorites from Shopbop.

striped long sleeve // fold over clutch // asymmetrical sweater // leather lock bracelet // suede booties

double-sided earrings // grey tote bag // black jumpsuit // aviator sunglasses

striped dress // tuxedo vest // cross body bag

That striped dress and that jumpsuit are so versatile! I also love the structure of the cross body bag. And grey booties have been on my wishlist; love the detailing on these. And everything is 25% off with the code inthefam25!

Sorry for my long hiatus! We're back from visiting home for two weeks and attending a couple weddings. Can't wait to finally settle into Austin!

New Trend: Iron + Wire

I am loving this new trend of geometric iron and wire. These would be great to use as accent pieces for a touch of modern.

acrylic tray + stand // keychain // chevron basket // wine rack // candle holders // dining chair // pendant light

I am dying to get my hands on a couple of chairs like these to use as the end chairs at our dining room table.

Adventures in Austin

We are finally feeling settled into our new digs in Austin.

We moved out of the short term hotel stay and into our apartment. It's so nice to unpack! Our place is in amazing proximity of great restaurants, a running trail on the water and the Whole Foods flagship store.

Juice Austin // Hey Cupcake // Bar 96 // Cafe 1886 (amazing pastries and brunch)

La Condesa

We love Austin. There is so much to do, see and eat! Definitely more adventures and explorations around Austin to come.

Fall Inspiration: Burgundy + Olive

I am loving these two colors for fall and need to get a couple pieces in these colors to incorporate into my fall wardrobe.
