Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for t Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for the supplies we used!🔥

When I say this design came to me in a dream I quite literally mean it haha it really came to me in my sleep. I had been thinking about how to make the overmantel work since the stone structure placement kind of made it more difficult.

Putting 2x4s up the wall allowed us to place the shiplap over the top part of the stone and took it out from the wall a little bit. Then Craig built the mantel over the existing stone one - which by the way was the worst mantel that ever existed. It was only about 3 inches deep, it was completely uneven, and it was tilted forward. So basically it was impossible to get anything to really stay on the mantel. Useless lol. Now I have a nice big mantel I can style and put up Christmas decorations and it just looks amazing.

Favorite Slip On Sneakers + How to Shop My Instagram

I posted these sneakers on my Instagram last week, in both my feed and my stories, and two things were very apparent after that post:

  1. Y’all LOVED these slip on sneakers.  (I think it was one of my most-liked photos ever)
  2. I got a ton of questions about how to shop them via DMs on Instagram and emails.

So from that I figured it would be helpful if I would do a dedicated post about these slip ons, because I’m with y’all, they are pretty amazing.  They are for sure my favorite slip on sneakers to date.  I’m also going to share a couple of different ways you can shop my Instagram, but with and without LikeToKnow.It.  I know some people don’t have that app and it’s cool! I think it may make it a little easier on ya, but no worries, I’ll share all the options!

First, just let me tell you about the sneakers really quickly to answer some of the questions I’ve gotten about the fit, comfortability, etc.

They run true to size, I usually wear a 9 and I ordered a 9.  I also do not wear socks with them, and they fit perfectly.  If you would prefer to wear socks, a thin low cut sock would be fine!  But even without socks, they aren’t tight at all, definitely nowhere close to where your feet are feeling suffocated.  I used to have a pair of slip on converses, and they were so tight they would leave imprints on my foot and I couldn’t hardly walk in them after an hour.  Not so with these.  They’re also not so loose that they are slipping off my heel.  No blisters here!  I feel like Goldilocks saying this y’all, but really, the fit is just right 🙂  They are very comfortable, it’s like there’s a slight padding sort of all around your foot so it is really cushioned and quite lovely when you’re wearing them.  I also love that you can wear them with a ton of outfits.  The grey suede is a really nice color in general that goes with lots of things, but they also come in other colors.  The black would also be a great go-to!

Also, I cannot miss an opportunity to talk about how OBSESSED I am with these jeans. First off, every time I wear them Craig tells me how much he likes them, so…husband approved.  But I’ve been known to wear plenty of jeans he doesn’t like (aka any of my jeans with holes in them, he doesn’t understand) so the fact he likes them is just icing on the cake.  They’re so comfy, have the perfect amount of stretch, and are so slimming & flattering.  They’re a little pricier than other jeans I post but I promise they are worth every penny.

PS- the sizing says to size up one if you are between sizes. If it helps, I ordered my normal size and it was perfect.  Did not need to size up or down.

The rest of the outfit include my favorite suede moto jacket (comes in a bunch of colors and is a closet staple…I mean a lifetime staple y’all.  I also love the tan color!!)   A few of the colors are also on sale right now here.  I also love my gray saddle crossbody bag…I also have it in brown.

The sunnies are also fun staples, I mean everyone needs a pair of aviators, am I right?!  You can’t go wrong with those.  And this sweater is one I posted on IG, wearing it off the shoulder.  Here I am wearing it with the cowl neck. I love you can wear it so many different ways!! Also, it’s SUPER soft and it’s long enough to cover your bum, if you wanted it to. I have it tucked in here but wearing it untucked makes it longer.

outfit deets: jacket | jeans | sneakers | sweater | sunglasses | bag | earrings

How to Shop my Instagrams

OKAY now finally I am going to chat about how you can shop the things you see on my Instagram or my Instagram stories.

First, it would be helpful if you signed up for LiketoKnow.It, because once you create an account (it’s free!) any picture of mine that you simply “like” on Instagram will be sent directly to your inbox with all the product information.  You can also easily just “screenshot” any picture of mine and it will show up in the LiketoKnow.It app on your phone, so you don’t have to wait for that email to come through.  The screenshots match pretty quickly.

If you do have Instagram, whenever you see one of my stories, if I say you can “swipe up” to shop the product or if you see the “see more” arrow at the bottom of the screen, that means I have attached the link directly to the product, and if you just swipe up from the bottom of the screen with your index finger, it will open it right there on your browser. Easy!

Say you see something on my IG stories and forget to swipe up/like/screenshot whatever it may be, and you can’t find it.  No worries!  Simply head on over to my blog and on the right hand side, find the “SHOP MY INSTAGRAM STORIES” tab and all my latest products will be there!

At the top menu of my blog, under the “SHOP” tab, there is a “liketoknow.it” drop down.  If you click on that, it will show all my latest Instagram pics, and if you click on an individual picture, all of the pieces will be linked there that you can just click on to shop!

Also, when all else fails, you can always DM me on Instagram or email me 🙂 I love to hear from you guys!

xo,

Bess
