If you are a fan of GOOD pajamas, and matching with the family during the holidays, LAKE Pajamas has the best options.

If you have been around here for a while, you know we LOVE LAKE pajamas! I started wearing them during pregnancy and immediately fell in love with their PIMA Cotton sets. You might also remember us wearing the Blair Eadie x LAKE Collection during our trip to Primland.

We had our first twinning moment with the kids when they were little (see below for a throwback!) last year and to say it was a core memory is an understatement. I can’t believe how little Olive was omg. We love the seasonal collections as well as the classics that they have year-round! They always do special prints for the holidays that are beyond cute. Last year Olive and Phoenix did the Nutcrackers and ornaments and they were ADORABLE. This year they have more cute and festive prints to choose from! I had my eye on the Scarlet Antoinette if I was going to add a print. The snowflakes are super cute too and you definitely wear both of those all season long.

*for kids I recommend sizing up in all pjs! adults run TTS *

We went with the classic red stripes this year in order to get more longevity and wear out of them, but don’t get me wrong I am swooning over the prints too! I wear my red stripes year round and trust me when I say that these Kimono Pajamas are my most worn item! I have them in blue too and they totally can pass as loungewear. Below I am wearing them when John and I had our wine & Christmas cards night a few days ago!

I love any chance to share a brand that has gifts for EVERYONE! Well, ok, maybe not children in this case. But, the grown-ups in your life. Yep, I’m a mom now so I say things like “grown-ups.”

When my friend came to me about a partnership with Nisolo for the holidays I literally JUMPED at the opportunity. I have admired the brand from a far for years, but hadn’t tried them for myself. When I say they lived up to and surpassed expectations that may be an understatement. Their leather goods – shoes and bags – are all gorgeous and quality-made. Plus, they have a little something for everyone.

Nisolo focuses on sustainable and ethical practices when making their stunning leather shoes and bags. So, on top of creating quality goods, they also are doing so in an ethically responsible and sustainable way. We are talking 0% Net Carbon and 100% Living Wages. Each product comes with a Sustainability Facts label so you know exactly the impact your pieces have.

Now to the good part! First of all, their Black Friday sale is running right now which means SERIOUS discounts so now is the time to shop.

I am wearing the Mia Everyday booties! Right now these are on the sale, making them UNDER $150. They are also doing Buy One, Get One right now for this shoe which is an insane deal. Get a pair for your mom and your sister, or better yet, your favorite lady and YOU.

John is wearing the All-Weather Mateo Boot. I think these shoes are SOOO good looking. Like, the best mens shoes I have seen in a while. John wears them to school, where he is on his feet teaching all day and says they are SUPER comfortable. They are also on sale right now.

2. Diego Everyday Sneaker
3. Martin All-Weather Boot

Bring the western vibes with Beth Dutton style for Halloween, or simply just to bring the vibes and the hype for the final episodes of Yellowstone.

This post has been the most popular here for a few years, but I keep it updated with current picks!

Raise your hand if you love Yellowstone!

From the moment we started the first episode of Yellowstone last year we were hooked. To the characters, the western vibes and Montana. The reason we decided to go out west to Whitefish & Glacier was because we were seeking the Yellowstone vibes and landscape. It did not disappoint!

Without a doubt, the most badass character on the show is Beth Dutton and her entire ethos has had me riveted from day one. I love how she fully embraced ranch style once she left the city to come work with her family at Yellowstone. Its a nonchalant, yet super western chic look and truly a vibe.

I didn’t necessarily try to emulate any single Beth Dutton outfit, instead just picked out some pieces that felt like her style to me. This faux fur coat from REVOLVE is sold out but they have a bunch of other great options and I love this one from The Drop on Amazon, too! You need faux fur it in your life regardless! It helps to bring the main character energy aka that Beth Dutton energy during the cold months. I chose to layer the coat here over a slip dress, because that is one of Beth’s go-to pieces, slinky pieces that hardly leave anything to the imagination.

While I took these photos, I didn’t have a *real* cowboy hat yet, so I just grabbed this affordable one from Amazon. I love it.  (I have since added a real Stetson to my collection and you can see that in my *Casual Beth Dutton Style* post. )  The boots however, are real cowboy boots that you can’t get online, but I have linked some gorgeous options from Dolce Vita below!

If you decide to tackle a Beth Dutton Halloween costume, or just into emulating her vibes (have I said vibes enough in this post?) be sure to tag us if you share on social media!!

“Well, that’s what it means. It means that you have me, that I’m yours. It means come live your life with me. The only thing I ask is that you outlive me so I never live another day without you.”

Lake Pajamas became an instant favorite of ours this year!

TIS THE SEASON! PAJAMA SEASON.

We have been highlighting gift ideas that we will be gifting / would love to give this year. Like the things we actually have and love. LAKE PAJAMAS are DEFINITELY on that list. We fell in love with LAKE’s Pima Cotton pajamas earlier this year and haven’t looked back. They are BEYOND soft.

I wore them throughout my pregnancy, they have nursing friendly options now, they carried us through the summer and now we are loving their holiday collection! They have pajamas for the whole family. Phoenix and Olive have little matching sets and we are gonna grab a couple of pairs for our husbands this year.

~ for the ladies ~

HAPPY GIFTING!

IT’S TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOLIDAY ‘FITS AND BODYSUITS ARE TRENDING IN A BIG WAY!

Across all of my favorite retailers I am seeing bodysuits of all kinds! Comfy ones, sparkly ones, long sleeves, halter etc etc. I had to see what all the fuss was about so I ordered this Free People x Revolve Turnt Bodysuit. I gotta say I was very pleasantly surprised. Honestly it could have gone either way, but….. Bodysuits are flattering. 

Shocked me, honestly!

I recently FINALLY got all of my clothes organized, got out my fall and winter clothes and it felt so good to rediscover old favorites. Yes, “rediscover” even if it had only been since the spring that I wore these Spanx faux leather joggers that my sis gave me last year! I knew they would pair perfectly with this ‘fit for our shoot with Kaytee and definitely see myself wearing this outfit during the holidays. If you “dress up” for Thanksgiving this ‘fit is perfect.  These tried and true booties are a pair from Nasty Gal that I’ve had for like 4 years and still get SO many compliments on.  They’re still in stock and so fun for any occasion.

Anyways, I digress.  The Jumpsuit is oh so flattering and surprisingly comfortable! It is available in a bunch of colors on Revolve and such a great piece for the price. Would also look fabulous with jeans and heels or a mini skirt and tights! And again, it is only $68. If you get it, tag me. I would love to see how you guys would style it.

HERE ARE A BUNCH OF OTHER BODYSUITS THAT ARE SURE TO MAKE A SPLASH THIS HOLIDAY SEASON >

If Beth Dutton had an everyday uniform, I think that this would be it. Call it a costume or call it western-inspired style – whatever it is, here it is

Last year I shared my most visited blog post to date, which was how to recreate Beth Dutton’s style for Halloween.  I chose the big fur coat look and for a whole year you guys have been repeatedly visiting the site.  Is it Beth Dutton’s not give a F attitude or just that we love western inspired style? Maybe both!

So, since you guys seem to like this style, I decided to share a more casual look that I have actually just been wearing as an everyday outfit.  Not a costume.  But it would certainly do perfectly as a costume! You can shop your own closet or add some new pieces to recreate this look.

FLANNEL

A fall classic, a ranch must have.  A comfy flannel is a wardrobe staple.  I LOVE this Free People one and have been wearing it on REPEAT since I got it recently.  If you want something more affordable, there is always Amazon.  I like to wear my flannels open over a tank or a crop and have been living in my SKIMS as the middle layer.

COWBOY BOOTS

Ranch Road Boots are the best. Period. If you are looking for a real pair of cowboy boots and are willing to spend the money for authenticity, these are just the best! The quality is unmatched.  If you want a pair of fashion- cowboy boots *as I call them* Dolce Vita has a good pair.  Amazon of course has cheap pairs if you just want the style and not the authenticity.

HAT

For the first Beth Dutton costume, I just grabbed a cheap hat from Amazon. It did the trick for the costume, but I didn’t really wear it otherwise.  Last year when we went to Steamboat I decided to finally get a *real* hat, and got myself a Stetson. It definitely makes me feel like Beth on the reg.

JEANS

A good pair of jeans really can make you feel great.  I came to truly appreciate my love of jeans during pregnancy when I couldn’t wear them, lol.   I LOVE this Abercrombie pair and you also can’t go wrong with a pair of classic Levis.

When we polled you guys a while back on instagram, a good portion of you said that you like to treat yourselves during the holidays and we have to agree! So we rounded up some favorite finds from some of our favorite retailers under $100. Grab a gift for your best friend and get something for you while you are at it!

I personally treated myself to these Soludos slippers and just LOVE them. Another great idea is a fun top for New Years mor a pair of chic pajamas. We’ve been talking a lot on stories about the Target Pajamas and are hardcore fans of those, but it could also be fun to treat yourself to something a little more fancy. This Free People set looks luxe.

When Catherine and I were planning for this shoot, for once we were super organized. We planned out at least four looks as we wanted to maximize our time in the studio space! Cath had the idea of us each choosing a stand out piece and building two different looks with it. She chose the sequin top and I chose the velvet dress as both felt super festive for the holidays!!

While both of these pieces are sold out, we wanted to encourage you guys to create some interesting looks this holiday season by layering and pairing unlikely items together to make fun ‘fits.

For Cath’s first look she paired her sequin top with layered jean shorts and tights, which is a truth Cathclaire classic. I never think to do this but its a great look on her! or my first look. I layered a mesh turtleneck and the Spanx faux leather leggings under my velvet swing dress and topped it off with some chunky boots. This was the last look to come together the morning of the shoot for me and ended up being my favorite! For her second, she paired the sequin top with a black denim skirt with fringe. We got a little carried away with the lights in the photos for the second look so our outfits kinda got lost in the shuffle, but it was worth it!

For Catherine’s second look, she paired the sequin top with a black denim skirt with fringe. We got a little carried away with the lights in the photos for the second look so our outfits kinda got lost in the shuffle, but it was worth it! My second look was simply the dress with a blazer dress over it and heels. Not everyyyy look with a statement piece has to be funky. We love being able to show you guys who to style different pieces in both an EXTRA way and a “normal” way.

SO, let’s help you build a look!

~ START WITH A STATEMENT ~

velvet, sequins, embellishment, faux leather
