Simple Fall Fashion Trends 2017

October 10, 2017 | 9 Comments

Oh beloved fall; you are most definitely my favorite. It’s not just the pumpkin everything, everywhere or the changing leaves or the cool breezes or the smell of fire in long awaited fireplaces. Nay, it’s also the boots, scarves, jackets, hats, jeans… the list goes on. In fact, with each change in season brings another…

Fall sweater weather (WIWW)

October 7, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Fall has officially arrived! Not only is it fall according to the calendar, but our temps have finally dropped and we’ve been having rain and chilly nights. I didn’t think I was ready for the cooler weather, but oh man, I am loving it. Sunday was one of our rainy, cold days, so I got…

Versatile Cable-Knit (WIWW)

November 19, 2014 | Leave a Comment

  As the weather is cooling down, I am thinking all sweaters all the time. Truth be told, I don’t own very many. The main reason is because long sleeves tend to be too short for my super long arms. It’s a real problem… So the ones I do have get worn in rotation and…

Layering for fall: Sweaters with dresses

October 28, 2014 | Leave a Comment

wearable fall trends 2014 | TheMombot.com

As previously discussed here, sweaters in all shapes and sizes are a “must-do” for fall 2014. One of the biggest sweater trends I’m seeing lately are those with a southwestern edge – and I say, bring it.

If there’s one thing I love, it’s transitioning my summer dresses into fall by pairing them with big chunky sweaters, tights and boots. Southwestern, printed sweaters give you the perfect opportunity to do just that; because they pair so nicely with rugged boots and are an ideal topper for your favorite dress.

WIWW: Skinny sweatpants

October 22, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Things have been so busy lately… my husband went away for a week for work at the beginning of the month, and the week after that, I flew to California with my little 4 month old to surprise my mom for her birthday, and this week my family is on vacation in Las Vegas (and next week my husband leaves for ANOTHER trip… but hey, who’s counting?).

Fall trend: Pastels

September 24, 2014 | Leave a Comment

wearable fall trends

A few weeks ago, I touched on some top trends for fall 2014 including western, plaid and sweaters. Another trend for fall {and winter} that I am loving is pastels.

Pastels add a little bit of pretty into an otherwise drab season. I love the natural femininity that shines through when an ordinary coat is offered in a pink or a soft blue hue – and paired with some dark jeans and brown boots… forget about it. You’ll stand out in the best of ways.

WIWW: Mad for plaid

September 17, 2014 | Leave a Comment

I am obsessing over plaid for fall. We talked about it in my “Top 3 most wearable trends for fall” post a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for some perfect plaid pieces for fall and one just happened to pop into my shopping bag last week (funny how that happens).

WIWW: The simple black dress

November 13, 2013 | Leave a Comment

I’m a strong believer that everyone should have a little black dress that they can fall back on in their closet at all times. I’ve had this dress for probably 4 1/2 years. Even I am surprised that it’s been that long, but I remember because I bought it early in my pregnancy with my…

New fall obsession: Nordic sweater leggings

November 6, 2013 | Leave a Comment

I have a problem. When I get obsessed with something, I can’t get it out of my head… and that’s kind of what’s happening with me and Nordic sweater leggings right now. Snowflakes, reindeer, Nordic, fair isle; call it what you will. I am obsessed.

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽
