Swapping summer blooms for autumn hues 🍁🌾 Lo Swapping summer blooms for autumn hues 🍁🌾 Loving the fall vibes these planters bring to my front porch. 

Already in the planters are:
-Sword Ferns
-Vinca (2 in each)

Then I took out my impatiens (replanted them in the yard for the time being, they are annuals but I couldn’t get rid of them just yet) and added in fall color:

-Miz America mustard in the center in front of the fern
-heuchera aka Coral Bells on either side (1 Southern Comfort and 1 Berry Smoothie variety in each pot) in front of each vinca
-3 silverdust aka Dusty Miller in the middle

All of these plants will last through the fall & winter here (zone 7) I am told! 

I’m no pro gardener but I am loving turning into a full-on plant lady🙂 & learning a lot as I go! Follow along because I’ll continue to share my planter arrangements!

Some habits are big & some are small but I’ve no Some habits are big & some are small but I’ve noticed these make me feel more put together & productive as a stay at home working mom of 3🫶🏼 they just help put me in the right state of mind to knock out that to-do list!

1. Working out - have been trying to get back into being an AM workout girly 
2. Getting ready - dressed, a little makeup, and some jewelry. victoriaemerson is my daily go-to!
3. Writing out my to do list - so I can figure out the most efficient way to get things done!
4. Doing a quick clean/tidying up - I find the mess and clutter to be distracting so I work better when it’s clean!
5. Lighting a candle - just had a nice calming & focusing effect. Then I get to work!

What is a daily habit that helps you?!

A Little Black Dress Two Ways + 25% Off of Purchases of $150+ Sale at Saks OFF 5TH

This post is sponsored by Saks OFF 5TH and ShopStyle.  All opinions are my own.

This summer I’ve been sharing with you how Saks OFF 5TH is one of my go-to destinations for finding high quality looks for less.  Today I’m sharing a new find with you and styling it two ways.  Everything I’m sharing is under $79 and on top of that, today you can save 25% OFF purchases of $150 or more!

Little Black Dress Two Ways

I love a little black dress and think you need to have at least one, if not a couple, go-to LBDs in your closet.  If you choose wisely, you’ll be able to find a dress that you can wear in a variety of ways either dressed down or dressed up!  And they don’t have to break the bank…this Love Ady twist-front dress was originally $128 but is now under $50 at Saks OFF 5TH!  I’m wearing a medium, but I think it runs just a bit small…so if you’re between sizes, size up.  Sharing how I style it two ways below!

Casual LBD Look

Love Ady Twist Front Dress | Vintage Havana Gigi Sneakers | Sam Edelman Backpack | Gorjana Crescent Pendant Necklace (similar here) | Saks Fifth Avenue paperclip necklace (similar here) | Jean Jacket 

I love to pair a dress with a pair of sneakers!  This combo is one of my favorites.  These sneakers are my new favorites…I love the black and white color scheme.  You can wear these year round…I’m already envisioning wearing them with jeans, a leather jacket, & a scarf come fall!  The sneakers run true to size.  To continue with the more casual theme, I grabbed this cute Sam Edelman faux leather backpack.  It has an adjustable drop handle and adjustable backpack straps.  Throw a denim jacket on top and you’re set!  I got this jacket earlier in the summer and it’s my favorite jean jacket.  I love the distressing on it and the color.  I have the medium!  Lastly, a good layered necklace situation is necessary whether you are dressed up or down, and so I’m wearing this Saks Fifth Avenue paperclip necklace and this Gorjana crescent pendant necklace with both looks.

Date Night LBD Look

Love Ady Twist Front Dress | Steve Madden Suede Ankle Strap Sandals | La Regale Metallic Faux Python Convertible Clutch | Gorjana Crescent Pendant Necklace (similar here) | Saks Fifth Avenue paperclip necklace (similar here)

Taking the dress from day to night is simple!  Change out your shoes and handbag and you’re ready for date night.  I love these Steve Madden ankle-strap sandals.  The tan color is so gorgeous and they are very comfortable.  I have three pairs of this same style shoe now in three colors because that’s how comfortable it is.  They run true to size and are under $60.  For the handbag, I grabbed this trendy python print clutch.  I love that it’s small but it’s still a statement piece with the snake print and metallic gleam.  The gold strap is removable and it’s only $39.  Such a steal.
