Sharing some of my favorite fashion finds for fall!

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had an amazing weekend! We had a great little staycation in Phoenix, and P and I hit up the trampoline park and the Children’s Museum while Liv took dance classes all day. We’re back home, back to school, and I’m blitzing through work before I leave on a San Diego trip this week. I’d love to hear about your weekend!

For today’s post, I wanted to chat about fall fashion faves. Usually I’m kind of meh about fall fashion – I’m usually over here like give me all the tanks and sundresses – but this year I am FEELIN’ IT. Booties, jeans, sweaters, florals, reds, browns, yes yes.

Here are some of the things I’m loving for this upcoming season! It’s a mix of my style preference: classic with a sprinkle of the trendy things mixed in. If there’s anything you’re loving (or loathing!) for fall, please feel free to link it up in the comments section. Also, can we officially rejoice the death of the shacket? It’s gone, right???

Fall Fashion Faves

Dresses:

I’ve rented this dress in tan from Nuuly and it’s so gorgeous and flattering. Love it in the red for fall!

This dress looks super luxe but is an amazing price.

This would be so cute with boots or flats.

This silkly slip dress.

These are some of my all-time favorite dresses.

Farm Rio continues to be my #1.

I have this dress in hot pink and get SO many compliments when I wear it. (It looks like a La Vie Style House tunic at a fraction of the price.) They have fall colors and they’re all amazing.

This dress is a splurge, but I looooove it.

I’m always pumped when leopard comes back around.

Jeans:

I know that wide leg jeans are in style right now, but I’m not a tall person (5’4 1/2) and have short legs. They look bizarre on me, so I’m going more for bootcut and straight leg jeans.

Got these jeans and they fit extremely well; the fabric is excellent, too. Just a tiny bit of stretch.

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? P has some basketball games and then the girls and I are off to Phoenix for dance. (The Pilot has a huge work event so that’s his life lately.) It’s going to be a busy one, but I really look forward to the weekends and love watching the girls shine in their respective activities.

I’m also excited to get out fall decorations! I was tempted to buy all the gourds at Whole Foods, until I remembered that the javelinas love to eat them 😉

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

Fashion + beauty + random:

Here’s a pic of the comfy Amazon set I’m loving lately.

It’s not too thin and the fabric is light and cozy. Definitely decent quality for the price.

I also ordered this set – can’t wait to wear it with Chelsea boots – but it won’t be here until the end of September.

Why are Somerset dresses the BEST?

If you’ve been needing a Vitamin C serum, here is an excellent option.

I’m trying to get set up for the holidays now so it’s not such a scramble. Ordered this advent calender for P if you’re looking for one!

Check out this week’s podcast episode about parasites. It was an eye-opening one for me and I learned a lot.

Speaking of parasites, I ordered this Rogers Hood Parafy kit to try. She’s gone viral on Instagram and TikTok (she’s the “Worm Queen.” You’re welcome if you decide to go down a rabbit hole lol) and I wanted to see what the hype is about.  This is an Read more

Sharing the recipe for one of my all-time favorite crowdpleasing recipes: 4-ingredient guacamole. 

Hi friends! How’s the morning going so far? I’m off to the girls’ school for a bit, taking a barre class, and then to my annual derm apointment. Friendly reminder to get your skin checked! (I could make a weird segway into an Austin Powers guacamollllllleeee reference here but I’m just going to stop myself now.)

Let’s talk about one of the best appetizers to ever exist.

Guacamole is one of those foods that instantly makes any gathering more fun. It’s the ultimate dip that everyone loves, and the best part? You can whip it up in no time with just a handful of ingredients. Whether you’re hosting a party, hanging out with the fam, or just want a quick snack, guacamole is always a good idea. Today, I’m sharing a 4 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe that’s so simple and delicious, it might just become your new go-to.

I love guacamole because it’s the perfect blend of creamy, tangy, and fresh. Plus, it’s packed with healthy fats from the avocado, which is always a win. (Let’s just ignore the 140000 tortilla chips I eat along with it!)

This recipe is minimalistic, but has bold flavors.  With just four ingredients, you can have this ready to go in less than 10 minutes. Here’s the super easy guac recipe that’s perfect for any occasion!

4 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe

Sometimes, less is more, and this simple 4-ingredient guacamole recipe proves that. It’s all about letting the natural flavors shine. The creamy avocado base, combined with zesty lemon juice, fresh pico de gallo, and a pop of cilantro, creates a guacamole that’s bright, refreshing, and soooooo good.

What I love about this recipe is how fast it comes together. Seriously, you’ll spend more time eating it than making it, and that’s the best kind of recipe in my opinion. Whether you’re prepping for a party, making a quick snack for yourself, or need something to spice up your meals, this guac is always a hit.

I also have a regular house guacamole recipe here, but this one is my go-to when I’m crunched on time or when I’m making a huge batch; it’s much faster and easier.

What To Eat With Guacamole

Guacamole is a versatile superstar, and it pairs beautifully with so many dishes. Here are a few of my favorite ways to enjoy this easy guacamole recipe:

1. Tortilla Chips

Classic and always a crowd-pleaser. The crunchy, salty goodness of tortilla chips with the creamy, flavorful guac is a match made in heaven. Perfect for game day, parties, or life.

2. Tacos

Guacamole and tacos are a dream team. Spread a layer of this 4-ingredient guacamole recipe on your tacos for an instant flavor boost. It works with any

Sharing some of my favorite herbs for brain health. As always, talk with a doctor before making any fitness or nutrition changes, or starting any new supplements. 

Hi friends! How’s the morning going? I’m getting my nails done today (yesssss) and have coaching calls this afternoon.

For today’s post, I wanted to chat a bit about brain health. This is something I’ve become more passionate and curious about, especially since I’ve been diving into Dr. Amen’s work. 

(I still can’t believe I got to meet him at the Biohacking Conference! And he was AMAZING.)

When it comes to wellness, brain health is often an area we don’t pay enough attention to—until something feels off. But just like our bodies, our brains need love and care to stay sharp, focused, and resilient.

These handy little plants you might already have in your kitchen or garden can pack a powerful punch when it comes to supporting brain function.
