Friday Randoms + Labor Day Sales

I wanted to title this post Friday Favorites per usual, but I have so many random thoughts and things I want to share with you that I figure "randoms" would be a better term to use.

So here are my random things in no particular order:

* We have family pictures tonight and I'm praying (please say a little prayer yourself if you have a moment) that we will not have to reschedule again! We have rescheduled 3 times, twice due to weather and the most recent time was just a scheduling conflict with our photographer. I'm really hoping we don't get rain! If so, we may have to take some family photos with wellies and umbrellas... That could be cute, right?!

* We don't really have too many plans for this holiday weekend. We have a 1st birthday party for my friend's son and I have a coffee/brunch date with some girlfriends. I'm excited to get some quality girl time!

* Can you believe college football season starts this weekend?! Our team (Ohio State) has their first game on Monday, Labor Day, which I think is odd... But, a fun reason to celebrate the holiday!

* I bought this tunic in 'tawny port' from Nordstrom and I am in love! It's perfect to wear with skinny jeans or leggings and my new booties. Now if we could just get theses temps to go down, I could start rocking my new fall clothes!

* Speaking of fall fashion, J.Crew Factory is having a 50% off everything sale going on now through labor day! In my shopping cart at the moment I have this buffalo check shirt, this floral eyelet skirt and the ever popular puffer vest! That's right, the blogger favorite is on sale!



Here are a few other Labor Day sales going on this weekend that you don't want to miss:

Nordstrom || end of summer clearance sale! Save up to 40% off selected items + free shipping (as always) on all orders.
my picks: zella capris, stripe slub knit pullover, Joe's skinny jeans, long textured cardigan, Steve Madden strappy sandals, Lucky Brand boots, kate spade satchel

Anthropologie || Enjoy an extra 30% off sale items with code EXTRA30.

Thoughts for Thursday || Confessions

Let's have a good old fashion confession sesh, shall we?

1. I confess... That I've been a terrible blogger this week, thus the confession post today! I totally have been caught up in my little day to day mommy/wife/worker bee world. I really want to spend more time here in my little creative space. I definitely plan on carving out some more quality blogging time next week! I even have a fall outfit post scheduled!

2. I confess... That I finally cleaned out my jewelry armoire and was able to sell and donate a lot of old costume (read: Forever 21) jewelry. It feels good to purge all my old stuff! I really want to start buying classic, high quality jewelry pieces that will last longer.

3. I confess... That I've been trying to feed Camden more bits of real food and it's been very slow going. He is very cautious about new foods, which I guess is a good thing? We've tried banana, shredded mozzarella cheese, bits of whole grain waffles, bits of whole grain toast with avocado, and steamed/cooked green beans. He is still working on the hand to mouth coordination and I'm trying to be patient! He really enjoys dropping the food on the ground for our dog Charlie to eat... :/

4. I confess... I'm currently training for a half marathon in October and I use the term 'training' very loosely. I ran once so far this week and I have a 9 mile run planned for tomorrow with a running buddy. The longest run I've completed recently is 5 miles. Say a little prayer for me!

5. I confess... I've been stalking a lot of my fashion blogger IG accounts for ideas on what to buy for my fall wardrobe. I recently realized that my fall and winter clothes are lacking because this time last year I was very pregnant and only wore maternity leggings or jeans for the last 3 months of my pregnancy. I am in desperate need of a fall shopping spree!

6. I confess... That I purchased these booties during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, but they didn't fit and when I went to return them, they were out of my size. So, when I found this pair from Express in my size I was very happy! They are very comfortable and the price tag is nicer than the Vince Camuto pair!

7. I confess... That I am officially excited for fall, although it's been so hot and muggy here in Columbus this week! I am so ready for fall temps!

8. I confess... That I may have wandered into Hobby Lobby this week with the intentions of buying all the fall decor, but then left because I felt like it was still too soon... I think I'm ready to go back and buy this chalk board sign now...


Now it's your turn! What do you confess?

I'm linking up with Natalie and Annie for Thoughts for Thursday!

2016 Planners


I can't believe it's already September and the start of #PumpkinSpice everything!

I always know the rest of the year will start to fly by after September. Fall is always so busy with football season, holidays, birthdays (mine and Camden's) and our anniversary! Which means, I better get to ordering my new 2016 planner like yesterday...

Above are all my top picks for 2016 Planners. I just don't know if I want to be girly and floral, clean and classic or fun for next year! Which is your favorite?
