Basically Basic Bomber


When I first ventured into the weird blogger world almost 5 years ago, one of the first fashion bloggers I started following was Jalynn from The Red Closet Diary. I loved her affordable, creative, and stylish outfits; which is why I've followed along all these years. It's so awesome to have finally met her in person, and see how her brand has blossomed! 


Her new venture is the The Red Closet Shop where she curates her shop with items that she'd place in her own closet. Once an item is sold out, then she chooses a brand new item to shake things up! I am in love with these new Faux Leather Peek-a-Boo Leggings :)


Jalynn is so awesome to offer my readers a 30% off code! Say whaaaaaat! Use the code below to treat 'yo self to some new winter gear :)

Fall Basics


Other than being a 'basic girl', I also enjoy stocking my wardrobe full of basics ;) As I've gotten older I've become more strategic about what I bring into my closet. I want to make my mornings easier by keeping items in my closet that not only fit well, but that I love! 


I was sent these sunglasses and olive top, and they are the perfect basics! The matte leopard sunglasses match everything, and the shape is universally flattering. My Criss Cross Top is in one of my favorite colors, olive, which serves as a neutral all year round. I'm excited to layer this top with all my go-to sweaters :) 


These items were sent from Dear Darling, owned by a cute sister duo who just launched their business this fall. They have a beautiful collection of sweaters, tops, and holiday attire! Might have to take a look around for that upcoming Christmas party!

Shades of Autumn


Are we so happy that it's Friday?! And the weekend before Thanksgiving? I sure am! I'm lucky enough to work at a company that values family time. I get to spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws in Portland, then Black Friday/weekend watching the BYU v. USU football game with my family! (While also peeking into the work email and putting out work-related fires haha). 


I posted this on Instagram a couple days ago, and just my luck it snowed yesterday lol. It quickly melted off, which was totally fine by me. The only thing I'm happy about is that it is now cold enough to wear all my cute coats I've picked up! In the meantime, here are more fall leaves to look at ;) 


Anyone jetting off for the holiday week? Any Thanksgiving food you're looking forward to?

Tulip & Tweed


We have been having an oddly warm November in Utah this season and I am ALL about it. The Utahans have been crying and complaining that there is no snow yet, and I'm like PSH. That means there is no snow to drive around in, and no snow to get people in car accidents. Also, more time to wear all the fall clothes!


When I saw this blouse at Loft I knew I needed it. So feminine, professional, yet stylish! The tulip sleeve makes all the difference :) 



My friend Ariel mentioned how pretty much my entire closet is from Loft, Anthropolgie, American Eagle, or Nordstrom Rack....guilty. These stores just have such good quality and bang for your buck! Where are your favorite places to shop? Any suggestions I should add to my list?

Cozy Plaid


This outfit is from that few weeks where summer is barely turning into Fall, and you so desperately want to wear jeans and boots. Right after this shoot I took off those boots because I was sweating so much haha! Crazy how much can change in just a couple of months. 



Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and I'm stoked for the chilly sweater weather and loads of turkey stuffing. Anyone doing anything exciting for the Thanksgiving holiday? Or even better, Black Friday?! ;)

October Leaves


It's now that time of year where my hair only has to look decent from my ears down. Beanies for the win! It wasn't until after this shoot that I realized I pretty much blend in with the surroundings, I guess you could say that I was inspired by nature :D



This Friday is Ryan's 30th birthday, which is NUTS. I remind him all the time how old he is getting, even though 30 isn't old whatsoever haha We are going to the Jazz/Lakers game and will be in the lower bowl (thanks DevMtn!), and we are pumped. Dippin' Dots for daysssss.


Excited for birthday and Halloween celebrations this weekend, gonna go out of October with a bang! :)

Criss Cross Applesauce


It's officially fall, can you believe it?? No matter what season it is, I still gravitate towards comfy grey dresses ;) I got this dress from PinkBlush, which has a criss-cross detail on the back AND has pockets. Could you ask for anything more out of a dress?



It's so easy to throw on a scarf and some boots with a low-key dress for the cooler months. I'm loving the loose and cozy fit on this dress, since it's something that I can transition throughout the next few years. While I'm not looking to have kids soon, this would definitely serve as a great maternity dress as well! 


What are your favorite fall looks? What's your go-to piece? :)

Get Your Kitchen Fall-Ready

I can't believe that fall is right around the corner! I love this season because it means birthdays, holidays, and the perfect weather for fashion. This is our first fall season in this house, and I'm excited to get it all decorated and ready for the cozy season. 


I know that deep cleaning is usually reserved for springtime, but why can't we do that the beginning of every season? :) I picked up Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty and Non-Scratch scrub pads as well as the Heavy Duty Soap Dispensing Dishwand to get my kitchen spick-and-span. Save now on Scotch-Brite® Scrub Sponges at Target with this Cartwheel offer!


I'm not ready to break out all the fall decor just yet, but I wanted to get the kitchen prepared for when all the family parties start happening and I just don't have time to decorate or clean! You can check out this site for more ideas on how to get your kitchen crazy clean with Scotch-Brite™, but here's a few tips on how to get your kitchen fall-ready to get you started :) 


Scrub down tough spots on the stovetop with Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge

This scrub sponge is EVERYTHING! I've been using these in my home for ages, and there is nothing better to get all the gunk off of my stovetop. It cleans up tough stains 50% faster, especially those baked-on messes that I usually find on the stove! I always remember that the Heavy Duty is green while Non-Scratch is blue, so I don't use the sponges on the wrong surface! Throw on some soap, a little water, and put that sponge to work. 



Organize flower arrangements with a fall color scheme 

Fresh flowers always put me in a great mood, especially when they are a festive coloring that matches the season. I found these perfect neutral flowers and arranged them into a couple of different vases to spread around the kitchen. It livens up the kitchen and brings in that cozy fall feel! 



Create a s'mores basket to be ready at a moment's notice

We have a fire pit in our backyard, and I'm SO stoked to have those chilly night bonfires with friends and family! Until the weather cools down, I like to have this small basket with s'mores essentials on hand so I can make a quick one in the microwave ;) 


Decorate with fun fall decor

I got pumpkin kitchen towels, a cinnamon vanilla candle, and an adorable moose on the fridge to start off my festive decor! Decorations are sooo much fun for seasons and holidays, can't wait to crack out more of my goodies once the weather cools down. In the meantime, a few reminders that fall is on its way is fun to have around :) 



This dishwand is a total lifesaver. I love that I can control how much soap is dispensed, and that the Heavy Duty scrub sponge gets those difficult pans nice and clean. When I have the time, I scrub down those tough-to-clean pans so that they're ready for when family is in town and we're all baking dinner together. That way, I'm not embarrassed by my pans when they get pulled out!  


Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Sponges are perfect for pots & pans

Our pans get ravaged by scrambled eggs in the morning and burgers for dinner! The Non-Scratch scrub sponges keep the pans in good condition, it cleans non-stick cookware without scratching. In just a few scrub-a-dub-dubs I was able to get all the mess off. Good as new! 




Organize and streamline

Finally, organize all the paper you've got in the kitchen! Our kitchen serves as a home-base for bills, letters, wedding invites, family calendar, and more. I went through and trashed everything that we didn't need, pinned up the new wedding invites on our bulletin board, and filed away all the paperwork we needed to keep. The only items we have on our fridge are of immediate importance, which puts it on the forefront of our mind. 



Those are all my tips and tricks to get your kitchen ready for the new season! What are your go-to tasks to get your kitchen in shape?
