FALL CAPSULE | PART ONE: If the PSL is out, it’s time to start thinking about what we are wearing this fall. Fall in Nashville is HOT but that doesn’t stop me from wearing sweaters in August. These items will help you make so many easy transitional outfits for fall and carry you into the cooler months as well.

As always I’m shopping my tried and true stores with a mid-level price point. Almost everything is under $200 and I try to shop whole goods where I can.

Here we go for Fall 2024:

1. Wide leg denim
2. Basic favorite white tshirt
3. Basic black tshirt
3. Cream sweater (cotton)
4. Denim shorts
5. Mary Jane’s
6. White button down
7. Striped sweater
8. Denim jacket
9. Denim dress
10. Tall leather boots
11. Sweater dress
12. Black blazer
13. Black denim
14. Sling back heels
15. Striped tshirt
16. Neutral scarf
17. White tennis shoes
18. Pumps
19. Tote bag
20. Ballet flats
21. Leather jacket
22. Slim loafers
23. Trousers
24. Vest
25. Trench
26. Leather belt

✨3 great options for clothing organization to win back to school mornings ✨

🏆TIP: Pick out clothes ONE TIME for the entire week on Sundays

✨Option 1: Great for older kids who can reach the top closet rod (60” long). Each bin is labeled with a day of the week

🥇Option 2: Another great option for taller big kids who don’t have space in their closet or closet doors to accommodate a hanging bag like this one. This day of the week closet organizer hangs on the back of your child’s closet door or bedroom door.

🏆Option 3: My pick! These stacking wood bins are great for use on the floor of your closet or even out in the bedroom. They are stylish and stackable .

All available on Amazon quit prime shipping so they’ll arrive just in time for school 🍎🍂✨

Love your favorites for this week. I didn’t hype the Nordstrom sale or prime day so wasn’t sure what this week would look like.

1. Divided drawer bin by the home edit at the container store (I love using these in the fridge.
2. The Dyson Airwrap dupe continues to be a hair tool favorite. I got to use a real Dyson Airwrap last weekend in Denver and learned some great techniques I’ll share with you soon. So glad I spent $30 rather than $800.
3. Day planners a re hot this time of year and these by day designer are popular vertical planners.
4. The nursing cart continues to be a favorite. We’ve used ours as worn out cart, art cart and more!
5. The Erin gates momeni herringbone rug has been a favorite for years. It’s performance grade and stains come up so easily. This is a great dupe to the Ballard designs herringbone rug.
6. This striped ottoman is so stylish and a great price point. We had it at our last house and was very kid friendly.
7 & 8. Storage tray drawer organizers in a variety of sizes for only $2 per set

I’m sure your social media is flooded with sale items from prime day, the Nordstrom anniversary sale and target circle week. I want to recommend the one item I’d buy (if I didn’t already own and love it!) from Amazon this week.

This deep cleaner has gotten everything off of my carpet and furniture. From red wine to pet messes to kid food stains, I’ve never had something I couldn’t remove. And the best part: I’ve never used more than warm water to do it!

This machine penetrates deep, is easy to use and simple to clean. Don’t sleep on this deal, it’s the lowest I’ve ever seen it

$82 on sale vs $130 regular price

Here are your favorite item from this week! I love that we are starting to see some choices for fall clothing. I know it’s hard to shift gears to fall when it’s 90 degrees out but the wool skirt and long sleeve top are such great staples for the upcoming season.

This backyard pool is also a great buy right now to take you through the end of summer - it’s over 50% off at Walmart! I also love to see the planners for the academic year. This one was a favorite both this year and last.

Lastly the dupes continue to be favorites week after week - both the Dyson airwrap and the west elm lumini rug.

1. White storage trays
2. Haaka manual breast pump
3. Dyson airwrap dupe
4. Vertical paper planner
5. Summer backyard pool
6. West elm Lumini rug dupe
7. Gap long sleep basic ribbed long sleeve for fall
8. Quince Mongolia wool skirt for fall (a great church skirt!)

Simple and easy travel day outfit! I met my bestie halfway in Denver (she’s in LA and I’m in Nashville!) We had such a fun time. I’m so glad I had these comfy joggers for our time in the hotel and especially when my flight was delayed 2 hours 😭😭😭. I scored this classic denim jacket at Zara on our trip. I’ve been searching for a good one for awhile and this one checked all the boxes.

Tshirt dress from Target! A great closet staple and easy to throw in. Comes in a cute stripe too! This is also the same as my go to target basic tshirts that I love.

Wearing a small here and I probably could size down (even tho I wear a small in the tshirt version)

Here’s what I recommend shopping during the annual Nordstrom anniversary sale (and everything I don’t recommend buying!).

DO:
Fall staples

- replacement of basics like white T-shirt’s, black tshirts, wool sweaters, and dated booties

- basic coats like a pea coat, trench, or camel wrap coat

- replacement tennis shoes

- accessories for fall/winter like cashmere scarves and leather gloves

- if your line of makeup/face products is in sale, stock up

DONT:
- trendy fashion

- just because it’s on sale

- if you don’t love it

1. West Elm Lumini Rug
2. West Elm Lumini Rug Dupe at Wayfair
3. Easy Tshirt Dress
4. Haaka Breast Pump
5. Storage trays for nursing cart, art cart and drawer organizing
6. Breastfeeding postpartum cart (or workout cart or art cart!)
7. So soft baby wash cloths (I use these on my face too!)
8. Clear storage bins with handles (I use these everywhere! Easy to clean and come in multiple sizes)
9. Milkscreen test strips 🍷

Love my high-low mix and match toiletry set. It’s taken me lots of travel and trial to find the bags that carry it all but this has been the perfect mix for real life and my budget.

1. Highly recommend investing in these cuyana matching set monogram leather bags as your core piece. The larger cuyana is big enough to hold my Dyson air wrap dupe!
2. Travel pill case wrapped in leather and monogrammed
3. Dupe of a train case by Truffle Co that I adore

So many great best sellers this week! I love seeing what your favorites. Many of the nursing cart items are on this list, plus the dress version of my go-to summer tshirt. Here is the full list:

1. Dyson airwrap dupe
2. Storage trays
3. Nursing cart / art cart
4. Wear everywhere tshirt dress
5. Moroccan rug
6. Haaka
7. Storage bin with handles
8. Amazon favorites (they won’t let me see what these are 😫)

Picks from my try on at lululemon this weekend! I had the morning off as mom so I took myself to lulu to try on some items I’ve been eyeing.

I don’t know about yall but I’m never sure my size there so I thought I’d share what fit best in each item for me to help you with shopping. For reference I’m 5’5” 125lbs and generally wear a 25 pants and xs/sm tops.

🖤Lululemon Align dress: looooved and bought this one. It is more pricey than some of the other LBD athletic dresses I’ve tried on BUT you can go potty without taking off the whole dress. And as a mom, that sold it for me. Wear a 6 in this dress.

🖤 Lululemon Align Tank: Recommend sizing up. I took at 8 and I’m small chested.

🖤Lululemon HR Hottie Shorts: I took a 4 and totally digging the pastel blues and greens this season.

🖤Ebb Cross Racer back tank. I took a 6. Loved the ribbing. Would make a great basic in white and black.

🖤I also tried on the dance studio HR short. These are great if you want an easy pull on short that’s an appropriate mom length.

🖤 Lastly I tried on the pleated tennis skirt in black. I took a 6. It felt to short as the pleating came above the biker under pants for me so I passed.

What are your lulu faves

So many great items for summer in the dollar section at target right now! I have rising JK and PreK3 kiddos and these items are perfect for all of the items on their summer math and literacy leaning lists.

From flash cards to memory games to fine motor skills, they have groupings that are appropriate for 1st, K, PreK and rising PreK.

Obsessed! And so grateful that reviewing these skills this summer will be easier and fun now
