It’s been a minute since I shared some favorite fashion finds from Walmart here on the old blog, but y’all – this season, the finds are GOOD. This time of year I’ll take any and every excuse to dress up, and Walmart is bringing it with sequins, faux fur, bold metallics, must-have boots, and some of the prettiest (and most comfy!) gold heels I’ve seen in a while. Whether you’re getting ready for Thanksgiving festivities with friends and family or already planning those holiday party looks, head over to Walmart before these favorites sell out.

Hello, friends!  Love it or hate it, the Hallmark holiday of love is upon us.  And while it’s easy to call it stupid and talk down on the whole song and dance, I gotta admit I’ll take any excuse to get dressed up and go out these days.  (I blame 2020.)  So this year, I’ll be celebrating Galentine’s Day with a little girls’ dinner and Valentine’s Day with my main squeeze.  (Although Valentine’s Day with Eric will be a few days early because I got reservations at a cute little beach restaurant I’ve been wanting to check out and because going out to eat on the actual 14th is a real racket.)

And so today I’m sharing a couple of cute and comfy Valentine’s looks at a couple different price points in case you’re looking to rock a little red for this sort-of-fake holiday.  And you’ll probably notice I’m playing favorites in the accessories department – just can’t quit these boot / hat combos.  (Also, we’re currently in a heatwave in SoCal, so no coat in sight, but if you’re not so lucky in the weather department, add a coat, a pair of tights, and chic black boots.)

Here’s hoping everyone has a great rest of their week!

Happy December, friends!  Ahh, my favorite month of the year.  It’s the month of so many fun gatherings – Christmas parties, boat parades, girls’ holiday dinners, our annual white elephant party – and so many opportunities to get dressed up.  While we don’t have anything fancy on deck (yet!) this year, there will be plenty of occasions to pull out these go-to sweater dresses.  These two above and below are my absolute favorites right now –  so easy to dress up or down – and they happen to both be affordable finds.

So if you’ve got an upcoming holiday shindig that has you stumped in the wardrobe department, try one of these comfy, cozy sweater dresses.  (And don’t forget to scroll through the options at the bottom of this post for even more fun finds.)  Hope everyone has a great December ahead!

It’s sweater dress season, friends, and while I was pretty gung ho about them in the past, I’ve gotten much more picky about them in recent years.  I’ve had too many that just never made it out of the closet much: too tight here, to loose there, too short, too hot for SoCal, you name it.  And while I’m passing on most these days, I couldn’t order this button-front, flowy cardigan version quicker.  I seriously couldn’t love this silhouette more.  (The v-neck was a little low for me, so I added a tank underneath.)

I’m loving it paired with short boots but think that a pair of taller or over-the-knee boots would dress the look up even more.  It’s admittedly a little pricey, so I’m rounding up 25 more sweater dresses I’m loving below.  Hope everyone has a great rest of their week!

You guys, I hope and wish and pray that I’m not jinxing myself over here, but holy moly we’ve had some luck in the weather department lately.  Most days over the last couple of weeks have been so pleasant, and we’ve got highs of 70 and 72 degrees this week.  I’m currently counting my lucky stars, knocking on wood, and reuniting with some of my favorite fall trends.

Case in point?  Bring on sweater dress season.  As much as I used to love a good sweater dress, I really haven’t found many I loved in the past couple of years (besides maybe this one), and to be honest, I can’t even remember having much cold weather last year for them.  This season I’m thinking my luck has changed, and a recent little stroll through Nordstrom turned up these two that I love.  They’re both under $70, super soft, and run on the looser side.  I’m wearing a medium in both for reference and thinking I need to also snag the grey version of the dress above.

Pair them with over-the-knee boots, monochrome booties, or the knee boots that seem to be everywhere this season.  The pair above is SO comfortable, run true to size, and will go with so many looks this fall.  And I mean, can I get a little AMEN for comfy, UNDER-the-knee boots making a little comeback this year?  I’m not giving up my over-the-knee boots just yet, but I am certainly HERE for this trend.  Hope everyone is having a great week!

Well we’re two (almost three) days past Christmas, and I think I’m just crawling out of my food coma cave.  But then I found all the leftovers and started it all over again.  So you know, you win some, you WIN some.  Y’all, we had such a fun Christmas here that I’m wishing we could rewind it all and do it again.

For the first time ever, Eric and I hosted Christmas dinner at our house.  With his whole family, my parents, and a couple of our friends, the house was packed with 30 people and one really excited puppy who may or may not have stolen a few cookies and a pretty good helping of rum cake off the counter once everyone was outside enjoying the fire pit.  Girlfriend got FED.  And I don’t even know what a couple of three-year-old twin nephews gave her on top of that.  Let’s just say that young Weeze girl had a very Merry Christmas.

And so did we.  And I hope so did you.  I wore this comfy cozy sweater dress for dinner on Christmas Eve, and if your size is still available, you gotta swoop it up – I mean, it’s right around $20 and you can’t beat that.  I’ve been on a real chenille kick this year with sweaters and bought this one last-minute for our trip to Jackson Hole.  And since then, I’ve loved having it.

If your size is sold out, I’m linking a few more styles below that are all (mostly) under $100.  They’re super comfy, versatile for dressing up or down, and perfect for hiding all those holiday sins through January…or February.  That’s fine, right?  (Asking for a friend.)

Happy Tuesday, friends!  With the high temps around 70 or lower everyday this week in Southern California, it’s time to pull out ALL of the fall things!  Hats, scarves, OTK boots – bring it on.  Admittedly, I’m half-kidding and halfway just jumping the gun, but I seriously love fall accessories.  And my fave in particular?  A thick and cozy blanket scarf.

They go with pretty much any fall look I could put together, and I love pairing the plaid versions with stripes or similar plaids for a mixed prints look.  When it’s actually cold out, a good blanket scarf has some serious warming power and doubles as a pillow or blanket (duh!) for those holiday travel plans.  (I legit take one on every single winter flight.)

They last season after season, so I used to snag mine for $30, $40, or even $50 from Zara, ASOS, or similar stores, but not anymore, friends.  I’ve found the blanket scarf Mecca, and I promptly ordered a couple more colors for my collection.  There are 13 colors to choose from, and each one will cost you around $12 or less.  (Some are just $9.)

So whether you live in actual cold weather and want to stock up or just want to cross a few early holiday gifts off your list, head over here and throw a couple blanket scarves in your cart.  Bonus?  Everything is better with Amazon Prime, right?  Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Happy Friday, friends!  I’m fresh off of a two-night stay at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach, and I’ll tell ya, it’s not easy to leave that place.  There’s a full post on that coming up, but it’s been an amazing couple of days.  Thank God it’s the weekend because I’d be seriously blue right about now.  And actually, it’s not just any weekend.  It’s the weekend that we’re moving back into our house!  It’s been a looooong time coming, and I couldn’t be more excited.  The actual moving part is not so fun and things aren’t 100% finished at the house, but it’s close enough and we’re calling it quits on the rental finally.  I can’t wait to share so much home content in the coming months and get to the fun part: decorating.  (You can usually stay tuned in on the progress over on Instagram and Instagram stories.)  Hope everyone has an amazing weekend ahead!
