Comfort is my number one priority for the #ErasTour but I also want to be on-theme! I’ve had these Loeffler Randall printed Keeley sneakers for a few years and they seemed like the perfect choice for my “Lover” Era inspired outfit!

I replaced the white laces with some sheer dusty pink ribbon laces to make them even more fun!
*(I used the 55” length)

Another cute idea would be to thread “friendship bracelet” beads and charms onto the laces!

A little extra ✨shimmer✨ for my fingertips at the Eras Tour!

#LTKBeauty

Just a little extra sparkle for the #ErasTour — these star freckles are so cute and Taylor herself was seen wearing them at a Chiefs game recently! Since I’m not wearing a sparkly outfit (winter problems), I’m bringing the shimmer in other ways. ✨💫

I have been so perplexed about what to wear to the #ErasTour in the cooler months (no sequin mini dresses here!) and then it dawned on me that I can wear my LoveShackFancy Jamie cardigan! It’s definitely giving “Lover” vibes (the Era that I’ve chosen as my inspo).✨💘

It’s from a past season, but you can find them secondhand on sites like Poshmark! I’ve linked just a few that I found as well as a few other styles that would fit the theme!

Today was a gloomy Seattle day so I gave my #LTKToddler a ✨disco bath✨

#LTKKids

I know the #ErasTour is winding down but if you are attending any of the shows in Canada I loved this bracelet making set! I also bought an extra set of both gold letters and numbers which I’ll include.

This would also make a great holiday gift for a little jewelry maker in your life, whether or not they are a Swiftie. ✨

Who says stadium bags have to be ugly? I wore this clear crossbody to the Eras Tour last year, and it would also be perfect for any other concert / sporting event. The size is small enough for stadium requirements, but big enough to fit the essentials (yes, even an iPhone Max).

*addiitonally, while I love this bag as a crossbody, the venue where my concert is located in December requires that bags not have long straps so thankfully I was able to convert it to a wristlet with a strap swap! There are multiple designs and metal colors depending on your personal style. Very pleased with this item so far.

I also ordered a little card wallet with a chain on it that I plan to attach to the strap link on the other side, opposite the wristlet chain. You can find the link below as well!

#LTKItBag #LTKParties

I couldn’t resist buying this tree topper when I was on a recent Target run! I love the shape, the metal construction & brass finish, and the CLEAR

Another little autumnal vignette on our kitchen island to bring a bit of Thanksgiving flair to the space!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

November means decorating for Thanksgiving! This vignette is at the other end of the buffet in our entryway. Because it's located in such a high traffic area of the house, I really enjoy decorating it every season.

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

#LTKThanksgiving play is underway at our house! Our #LTKToddler is having so much fun “roasting” and “baking” these goodies for Thanksgiving dinner. I’m sure we’ll have some sensory bin play with them as well, but this dramatic play has been great for our Saturday morning.

This roast turkey dinner is just the cutest and the turkey parts disassemble from the breast for “carving” (held together with Velcro strips). So clever and fun for littles! 🦃🥧

#LTKSeasonal #LTKKids #LTKHoliday

Now that it’s November, I’m decorating various vignettes around the house for Thanksgiving! This is one end of the buffet in our entryway and I love styling it every season because it’s located in such a high traffic area of the house.

*This exact cloche is from Crate & Barrel in 2018 so I tried to link similar

This year’s Thanksgiving table setting — our first year hosting in our new house!

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Normally, I’m a year-round iced beverage lover, but I’m currently feeling under the weather (preschool germs 🤧) and that means hot tea + honey. I wanted to keep my tea and a hot temperature while playing outdoors with my toddler and I was so happy to have my YETI to do that for me.

The 20oz Rambler is the perfect “middle” size, in my opinion. It’s not mega, but it also holds a good amount of beverages and the mag slider cover helps retain the temperature + makes it easy to clean.

It’s been a very eventful six months for our #LTKToddler and we have two more big milestones coming up… switching to a toddler bed and then giving up our beloved paci (which has been Sophie’s bedtime comfort through so many big life events this year — becoming a big sister, potty training, and starting preschool)!

We’ve had a lot of success using Lovevery’s books to prepare Sophie for these milestones, so we knew that these books would be perfect for our last two big events (for a while 😅).

These books are SO helpful for #LTKParenting (not just for the kiddos, but they give great guidance for how to handle things as the grown up in the scenarios) and I highly recommend them all.

#LTKKids

We recently modified Sophie’s crib into a toddler bed (😭) and the transition has gone WAY smoother than I was anticipating it to. I attribute that to preparing her for the change with this book by Lovevery. Their books have helped us tremendously through so many #LTKToddler milestones / life changes (potty training, starting preschool, welcoming a sibling, etc.) and I’m so grateful!

We also utilize her Hatch sound machine by scheduling it to turn green when it’s okay for her to get up in the morning.

This all-in-one moisturizer + SPF + makeup seems too good to be true, but my skin loves it and so do I! This product provides fairly sheer coverage (which is what I prefer) to give my skin a little boost.

I have recently been diagnosed with rosacea so I have had to revamp my entire skincare and makeup routines so when I find a product that doesn’t trigger my rosacea it feels like a massive win! Plus, it’s really nourishing so it’s going to be perfect for the upcoming dry, cold winter months.

*I wear Shade 4 (medium fair with neutral undertones) — use the guide to find your shade!

#LTKBeauty

I love this dress because while it doesn’t feature classic holiday colors, it still feels festive (which I attribute to the navy velvet ribbon trim). This is what our #LTKToddler will be wearing for our family holiday photos this year and I’m so excited to see her in it! I think she’s going to LOVE it! 💫

#LTKKids #LTKHoliday

If your child likes to play with dolls or you have a new baby on the way, this has been a great doll for our #LTKToddler to play with. We relied heavily on it when we were talking about Baby Sister arriving and now Sophie still loves to mimic Mama by caring for her baby doll the way I am caring for her little sister.

The cloth Velcro diapers fit perfectly and we only use the paci / milk bottle from the accessories set (full disclosure: the doll’s mouth isn’t open enough to accommodate these accessories so they’re just for pretending).

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKKids

I missed out on these gorgeous faux cedar garlands last year so when I saw that CG Hunter brought them back again this year I couldn’t add them to my cart fast enough!

I bought various other pieces from their holiday collection, but the garlands sold out before I could order any. They’re hand-painted and the effect is so realistic! I plan to double them up to make this mantle greenery even fuller for the holiday season. 🌲

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday

These cuties are from Kirkland’s and I know the girls are going to love having them on their playroom couch to snuggle every holiday season!

I absolutely adore gingerbread so we’re fully leaning into the fact that it’s currently a popular decor theme (which means these sell out quickly so grab yours while you can!).

#LTKHoliday

Guests often ask us what hand soap we use because the scent is so fantastic — well, the “secret” is out: it’s Meyer Lemon by Williams-Sonoma (lol — we don’t gatekeep; it’s never been a secret! 🤭).

We prefer to buy the refills to fill our soap pumps throughout the house, but the soaps can also be purchased in their own pumps.

We also buy the Meyer Lemon dish soap to keep things cohesive — it’s an all-year fragrance that we find works particularly well in the kitchen and doesn’t “conflict” with other food scents.

*NOTE: the hand pump is from Target’s Hearth & Hand line from a few years ago

#LTKHome

This machine is a mainstay in our #LTKKitchen and while I know everyone raves about it, this mixer certainly lives up to the hype. There’s simply nothing like a stand mixer and Kitchenaid makes the Gold Standard. 💫

(Always worth adding to your Christmas list and keeping an eye out for sales this time of year to save some $$$!)

#LTKHome

This weekend we baked some sugar cookies with our #LTKToddler and used festive cookie cutters to make them more “Halloween”. 👻🦇🎃

We also used cookie icing and sprinkles to decorate them which I’ve included below!

#LTKHalloween #LTKHome #LTKKids

Chloe is upping her formula intake which means she’s outgrowing her infant bottles — why do these kinds of small milestones sometimes feel even bigger than the developmental milestones? 😩

We have adored these bottles for both of our girls — the nipples are pretty ergonomic(?) and parts are easy to mix-and-match, clean, and travel with. I just can’t believe it’s time to switch to the larger size already — time is a thief!

#LTKBaby

This is one of my favorite mid-priced white wines and when I’m missing Paris I like to pour myself a glass in one of my little bistro glasses.

I use the glasses for every beverage under the sun: water, coffee, wine, cocktails… I find them to be the perfect sized glasses for our #LTKKitchen and I love their weight / durability (perfect for parenthood 🥴).

#LTKHome

This festive activity has been a fun one for our #LTKToddler to do (and it reminds me a bit of our Doodle Bears from the early 2000’s!) . Color all over the pumpkin, wipe it off when you’re done, and then do it all over again! It also glows in 3 color tones 🎃

#LTKHalloween #LTKKids

This year’s costumes for our sweet tiny sisters: our #LTKToddler is going as Elsa (see yesterday’s post) and our baby as Anna from Disney’s "Frozen” 👱🏼‍♀️👩🏼‍🦰❄️☃️

This sweet little dress has a built in onesie and the “tulle” is super soft and not scratchy at all — perfect for littles' delicate skin.

#LTKKids #LTKBaby #LTKHalloween

This year’s costumes for our sweet tiny sisters: our #LTKToddler is going as Elsa and (coming tomorrow) our baby as Anna from Disney’s "Frozen” 👱🏼‍♀️👩🏼‍🦰❄️☃️

We LOVE these premium *washable* costumes, both for Halloween and for dress-up! They’re not scratchy and are such great quality. Sophie wore their Rapunzel dress last year and it was a big hit!

#LTKKids #LTKBaby #LTKHalloween

When baking with our #LTKToddler, I like to pre-measure everything out and these items make that process so much easier!

*This photo was from when we baked Soft M&M Cookies with festive Halloween candies! If you’d like the recipe, just search “Soft M&M Cookies” on my blog — they were a big hit with the whole family!

#LTKHome

I love this wine chiller for keeping my white wines cool, especially during the summer! It’s technically autumn now, but the high temperatures in the PNW have been in the 70°s lately so this chiller has been super handy.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHome

We are already big fans of the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair, but this is our first time using the infant attachment and we have been loving it! Chloe can join us at the table and we can have our hands free to eat our meals. These high chairs are one of our favorite items for our littles because they can literally grow with them — such a clever design!

#LTKKids #LTKBaby

I’m so excited to give this bath bomb wand to our #LTKToddler — it would make a great #LTKHoliday gift, but it will also be so much fun making festive #LTKHalloween “potions” in the bath! 🧙🏼‍♀️🪄

#LTKKids #LTKHalloween

An easy #LTKToddler friendly way to decorate your pumpkins!

#LTKKids #LTKHalloween #LTKSeasonal

This container was so useful for feeding Chloe on the go! I was able to comfortably fit four scoops of formula (probably with room for one more scoop) in each container; Chloe is drinking 4oz at a time right now so each little container holds two bottles’ worth.

I bought two sets to extend my stack for our recent trip and I used one container to keep my formula whisks for helping to blend up each bottle on the go. The stack also fit so easily into my travel bag!

I’ve also linked my favorite baby bottles, travel containers (you can bring just the silicone insert pieces and use just one shell while travelling!), and travel bottle cleaning / drying rack.
