I thought I had grown out of my complete and utter obsession with being Jessica Simpson until this outfit – shot with Halle Kennon for The Crystal Press w Reb – with Free City sweatpants from SHOPBOP happened.
Since the debut of the MTV show Newlyweds in 2003 – like most of America – I have been a Jessica Simpson fan. I remember scanning outlets (the internet, tabloids, magazines) for every detail of her outfits on and off camera and was heavily influenced by her style. I thought I had grown out of it since the obsession began 17 years ago – but then this outfit happened.

Considering a car seat for your little one? Here is my review of the Nuna Pipa Car seat from Nordstrom.
While I was pregnant with Phoenix, I did a lot of research in regards baby gear, especially car seats. There are so many things you need to think about when you are pregnant but some are more important than others. A car seat is one of the most important purchases to make or things to register for so I wanted to be sure I picked the right one.
I talked to family, friends and to The Crystal Press community on Instagram to find out first hand reviews of different models of infant car seats. As I did more research, I narrowed it down to 2 different car seats the Nuna Pipa and the UPPAbaby Mesa. Once I had it down to these two, I asked my community and the one that came back more highly recommended was the Nuna Pipa.
( I will never be over Phoenix dressed up in his first Ralph Lauren baby button down. Ever since this purchase, I have become completely obsessed with Ralph Lauren baby boy clothes. Look at what I linked below and tell me that you don’t agree!!!! )
Not only is the Nuna car seat one of the lightest car seats on the market, it has also been rated by Consumer Reports as the safest. The PIPA I have can be used in any vehicle and if you choose to purchase the model with the base, it takes one easy click to get the car seat in and out of the car. Which is a must when you are trying to navigate life with a new baby!
I love the look of this Nuna Pipa car seat ( I have the caviar color) , it’s safety features, and how functional it is. It was easy to seamlessly transfer from the car to the stroller to the living room. I give this car seat a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it, especially after using it for 6 months with baby Phoenix! (see my no bullshit birth story here)
Transition to fall by adding a pair of Doc Marten boots to your next outfit. These boots add the perfect fall vibe to any outfit, even ones from your summer wardrobe.
Last weekend, I had a very relaxing weekend on the Rappahannock river. I don’t know about you, but I have a special place in my heart for rainy and overcast days on any body of water. Being on the water is always relaxing, but switching sunny days up with some gloomy weather takes it up to the next level for me. As you can see in these outfit photos, the weather was especially overcast and the temperature wasn’t quite cool enough to wear a full on fall fashion ‘fit.
Whenever the temperatures are not quite cool enough for a full fall outfit, I love to pair boots with jean shorts. In fact, I am a sucker for a good pair of jean shorts all year roundand invest in a new pair yearly that I wear way too much. It’s snowing outside? Great, I’ll wear my jean shorts with tights. You get the picture.
This year, I snagged a high waisted pair ofOne Teaspoon banditsand they have been my outfit BFF for months!
Back to the boots – these blacked out, vegan leather Doc Martenboots knocked this outfit out of the park and paired with a duster sweater, gave the perfect element of fall to an otherwise summery outfit. I usually steer away from flat boots in general but these puppies have changed my mind! I am still amazed by how these Doc Martens elongate my legs .
I know with this being my third post including an Artipoppe baby carrier, my obsession is pretty obvious. If you are in love with Artipoppe baby carriers as much as I am, grab $55 bucks off you own with this link. PS – They make great baby shower gifts as well!
