Leopard Sweater // Leggings // Headband

I am so in love with this sweater!  It's the perfect weight and not itchy at all.  It runs big, and for sizing reference, I'm wearing an xs.

Here is the affordable version of the beloved tie knot henley.  This is such a flattering top, but a lot of you mentioned that you're having trouble tying it, so at some point today on Instastories, I'm going to try it on and show you guys;)

I know this top was included in last weeks post, but it's such a good one that I wanted to share it again!

Misses

The first miss is this dress, and while the fit could have been so cute, but it was made out of cheap material, it had strings hanging, and the biggest loop holes for a belt...sadly, it was a no go!  

And the next miss is this v-neck long sleeve top.  This one could have been SO good, but it was HUGE and the neck was SO low :( 

True story, all my life I've had super thick hair.  I mean, it was never good thick hair, it was actually a frizzy/curly hot mess, but man was it thick.  And just like us women always do, I wished so badly that my hair would just be a little thinner and easier to manage.

Well, fast forward ten years later and I got my wish alright...I now have super thin hair, accompanied with the joy of it still being curly and frizzy!  So with lots of trail and error, I've finally found a few products that are must haves for my hair.

This  shampoo and this conditioner are my current favorites, but this thick dry finishing spray takes the cake, as far as what I feel really makes the difference in giving my hair a thicker look and feel. One of the biggest reasons I like this one more than any of the thickening sprays I've tried is that it's not sticky and it's also not so heavy (like hairspray) that you hair doesn't move and bounce naturally. 

Thick Dry Finishing Spray

Next up on my fall beauty essentials, lets talk eye makeup and lashes. For some reason, I never feel the need to 'dress up' or focus on my eyes as much during the summer.  Between the beach, the pool, and the hot summer sun, I know there's not much point.  But when the cool air comes in, and my golden tan fades away (womp womp), I always feel like my eyes need a little more love and attention. 

Below are my FAVORITE eye products for every season, but I just tend to use them more in the fall and winter.  This concealer put on right, along with this eye perfecting fluid will rock your world. Dark circles and puffiness are gone, and with this concealer (which this is the only one I've found yet) you don't have to worry about under eye creasing!!

This eyeshadow pallet is gorgeous and with it's variety of shades and colors you can create so many different looks.  It also comes with a primer, which I highly recommend using before you apply any of the shadow.  From this pallet, I love this look (tutorial on youtube here), minus her extra use of glitter.  This is what I have on my eyes in the photos.

Okay, so that about does it for now on my fall beauty 'must have' essentials!  And like always, I was able to find all these amazing hair and beauty products through Nordstrom, along with my stretchy leggings and comfy swing top.

Our room was beautiful and the beds felt like we were sleeping on a huge, fluffy cloud! 

This was one of the upstairs dining rooms and there's also another one across the hall, plus, there's outdoor dining on the upstairs porch. 

My three loves!  I snapped this photo of them while we were walking to Coast for dinner.  It felt so nice out, and it was such a fun treat to be able to walk to and from dinner with the kiddos!

Here are some pictures of us having the best time at one of our all time favorite places...Freshfield's Village!  We haven't been out to Kiawah with the kids in almost two years, so it was so much fun to go back and enjoy the music on the green and stay at the Andell Inn for the night! 

My Embroidered Dress // Taylor's Pear Dress (only $12) 

Carson was really excited, because he got to bring along one of his best buddies (Logan) to hang with us. As you can probably tell, Taylor is pretty fond of him as well.  She lets him know everytime he's around that he's beautiful and that she's going to marry him...haha!! 

After we checked out of the hotel on Saturday, we headed up the street to Bohicket Marina for our pirate cruise.

Even though we knew Carson and Logan may be a little too old, or should I say think "too cool", they ended up having the best time!!  The captain and crew members made it so much fun that they both said they would want to do it again. 

Oh, and this little pirate lady LOVED it!!! 

 Todd and I had a blast laughing while watching them have so much fun. 

I had a lot of questions about my $15 baseball tee, so I included the link below.

Two of my favorite things happened three out of four days this week before 5pm ....comfy pajamas and a big glass of red wine, and I don't even feel bad about it.  If Todd and I didn't have a date night and a party to attend tonight, I would be making this situation happen for a fourth night ;) 

Mae Lightweight Pajamas - run tts and I'm wearing a small. 

And if you're looking for a really good, smooth red wine that is delicious chilled, I highly recommend this one below.
