AVA MID RISE SKINNY curated on LTK

I know my shape is not perfectly ironed out and I debated even posting this because of my pinchable midsection and obvious bra strap but this is real life. This is me and I struggle daily like everyone else. I nitpick every bump, roll, and crease. Posting this is an attempt at release. Women have a tendency to overthink, overdo, and over analyze. There’s a lot going on in the brains and bodies of a female and it’s not always easy to navigate. Who can relate? 🙋🏼‍♀️ SAHM homeschoolmom # momstyle LTKStyleTip LTKFindsUnder50 LTKOver40

About last Friday…we celebrated our anniversary in style starting with a day at the @eauspa and ending with an amazing dinner at @newyorkprime which left me so incredibly full I vowed to never eat again…until the following day.

Just because something’s labeled “basic” doesn’t mean it’s dull! Think of it as the little black dress of life—classic, versatile, and ready to slay at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s a plain white tee that pairs with anything or a simple cup of coffee that fuels your inner superhero, “basic” is just code for effortlessly chic. So next time someone calls you basic, just smile, sip your latte, and know you’re mastering the art of keeping it stylishly simple!

Fall roundup of items I used for my fall tablescape this year. The faux florals may be my favorite and they’re on sale! Less than $5 a bunch!

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Creating a welcoming fall tablescape is all about blending the warmth of the season with personal touches that tell a story. Imagine a table adorned with a mix of new and found pieces: a rustic wooden centerpiece you discovered at a flea market paired with sleek, modern candle holders that bring a touch of elegance. Add layers of cozy textures, like linen napkins in rich autumnal hues, and scatter a few vintage dishes that evoke nostalgia. The result is a table that feels both curated and lived-in, where every piece invites your guests to linger a little longer and enjoy the warmth of the season.

You know you’ve hit peak adulthood when you’re seriously considering buying Birkenstock clogs—until you see the price tag and suddenly remember you have bills to pay. Enter the world of Birkenstock clog dupes, where comfort meets “I’m-not-paying-$150-for-shoes-that-look-like-bread.” These knockoffs offer all the cushy, orthopedic vibes of the real deal, but at a price that won’t make you question your life choices. 🍞

This fall, forget about the cliché paper bats—go for the DIY paper moths! Nothing says “spooky season” like the slow, erratic flutter of a moth that just wants to hang out by your porch light. Besides, moths are like the hipster version of bats—totally in the dark, but not mainstream. 🖤

Shopping for fall decor at Walmart is like diving headfirst into a pumpkin-spiced wonderland. You start with the intention of just picking up a few cozy candles, but soon you’re pushing a cart filled with an army of ceramic pumpkins, a forest of fake autumn leaves, and enough plaid blankets to cover a small country. You debate whether you really need a scarecrow that’s taller than your front door, but somehow it ends up in the cart anyway. By the time you hit the checkout, you’ve convinced yourself that no home is complete without a “Give Thanks” sign in every room, and that yes, even your bathroom deserves a pumpkin-themed makeover. You leave the store feeling like you just won the fall decor Olympics, only to get home and realize you might need a bigger house to fit it all. 🎃🍂

Walking into @walmart for a fall try-on session is like entering a fashion wonderland where flannel meets fleece, and pumpkin spice dreams are made. You start by trying on a sweater that feels like you’re being hugged by a thousand miniature teddy bears, then move on to jeans that somehow make you look like a lumberjack—if lumberjacks were known for wearing jeggings. You grab a beanie that makes you look like a hipster pumpkin, only to realize it’s meant for toddlers. By the time you’re in the fitting room, you’re wearing a mishmash of oversized plaid shirts, thermal socks that could double as leg warmers, and a pair of boots that make you feel ready to stomp through every leaf pile in the parking lot. As you leave, you catch your reflection and think, “Did I just become the human embodiment of a pumpkin patch?”

Living in your dream means embracing the life you've always envisioned, where passion and purpose intersect. It's about waking up each day with a sense of fulfillment, knowing that you're pursuing what truly matters to you. When you live in your dream, challenges become opportunities for growth, and setbacks are just stepping stones toward your ultimate goal. It’s a journey that requires courage, persistence, and belief in yourself, but the reward is a life rich in meaning and satisfaction, where every moment resonates with the joy of following your true path.

Chambray shirts are like the Swiss Army knives of your wardrobe, but way more comfortable. You pull one on, and suddenly you’re channeling the effortless cool of a lumberjack who’s also somehow ready for brunch at a chic downtown café. Need to look casual but still put together? Chambray's got your back. Trying to pass off that "I woke up like this" vibe? Chambray’s here for you. The fabric says, “I’m denim, but I’m also soft and breathable—like if jeans had a more relaxed, laid-back cousin who’s into yoga.” And let’s be honest, a chambray shirt is the only thing that can make you look like you might actually know how to build a rustic bookshelf, even if your DIY skills max out at assembling IKEA furniture.

#Ad This viral colorful striped Free People pullover dupe from Amazon is basically the sweater equivalent of that friend who crashes your fancy party in a thrift store outfit but somehow looks better than everyone else. It's like a rainbow threw a party on your torso, and all your old sweaters are sitting in the closet, jealous and slightly offended. People are grabbing it faster than you can say "Free People price tag," because why pay for the original when the dupe is just as cozy and comes with a side of internet fame? Plus, it's so bright it could probably guide ships through a foggy night.

When your younger daughter decides she needs her own room... because apparently sharing space is for peasants but you realize giving up your schoolroom means surrendering your kingdom... and you’re just not ready to abdicate! So we compromise!
Me: Why do you want your own room?
Daughter: So I can have sleepovers with JUST my friend.
Me: Anything else?
Daughter: Yes I want a vanity in there so I can do my hair and makeup.
Compromise: Daybed with trundle for sleepovers and wall mounted desk/vanity duo for school and pampering.
Daughter: I accept these terms!
Me: Mom WIN!

Tell me you’ve been there!

Got a compliment from a teen, “I love your shirt”. Now I’m basically the most epic 43 year old around. 😎 Ok epic may be debatable but I’ll take the compliment and live off of it for the next week or month and you can’t stop me! Just living my life riding this compliment wave until it crashes! My point…ride those waves ladies!!! 🌊

Organizing your bathroom is like playing a never-ending game of Tetris, except instead of colorful blocks, you’re dealing with 17 types of mascara you don’t remember buying and a mountain of rubber bands. You finally get everything neatly arranged, feeling like a domestic superhero, only to realize you’ve completely overlooked the three half-empty toothpaste tubes lurking in the back of the drawer. But hey, at least the fluffy scrunchies now have their own VIP section, and the hair clips have never looked more at home in their new bins. 🫶🏻

The 90s eclectic musical landscape of bands like Blink 182, Nirvana, and Tupac was mirrored in the bold and rebellious fashion choices of the time, with JNCO jeans standing out as a quintessential symbol. (Remember the scene from Clueless? As if!) Ultra-wide legs and oversized fit wasn’t my thing back in the day but I’m now living out this staple of youth. It’s a defiant break from traditional fashion norms much like the music of that era. So what do you say? Let’s grab our discmans and pump up that alternative rock together with our wide leg jeans, graphic tees, and chunky sneakers. 👟

If I had to describe the artwork found in our favorite @target stores lately I would call it vintage-inspired with an aesthetic that appeals to those who appreciate the charm and character of the past. These, and many others, from the Studio McGee line offers a visual connection to history while still feeling relevant in contemporary settings. Vintage-inspired artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia, drawing inspiration from past eras. Who else is loving the nod to the years past with the current artwork being produced? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Some of the products I used on our fall shelf styling. Pheasants have been a theme this upcoming season and I may carry that into my Christmas decor.

We have a crazy long shelf in our living room and I love going all out when decorating for the fall and Christmas seasons. There are a lot of DIYs, some things that were thrifted, and some items that have made their appearance year after year. Not everything has to be new. Just a few favorite things to sprinkle in is just fine. My “something new” this fall are the gold pheasants from @hobbylobby. What I really love about them is I can roll them over to the Christmas season as well. I plan to reuse many of my fall decor items because I just love the warm, neutral, and coziness of the fall colors. 🍂
