Coffee Conversations

happy boy // planning fall outfits

We made it to South Carolina late afternoon yesterday for a quick weekend away! We’re here with my sister’s family (staying at my parents house) as a little “summer sendoff” before the kids start school for the year. We’ve got no agenda and that’s exactly how I like it!

I’m working on a fall wardrobe staples “guide” to share with you next week, which includes putting together some outfits with those items. The outfit above is one of them! It was fun to put together some outfits and start tapping into my cooler weather wardrobe. I’m so excited to dress for fall!

I got my first manicure/pedicure in years earlier this week. Going to get my nails done is just not something I think to do for myself, but it was such a treat! I’m bad at making time to go out and do things, but having that experience may have been the little push I needed to make more of an effort to do things like that! It was nice to be pampered for a bit. I got a dip manicure, so I’m anxious to see how long it holds up for me.

Tarte Friend’s and Family Sale is happening – 30% off for everyone, 35% off if you sign up your email to join “team tarte”. With the discount, now is a great opportunity to try a new product, restock on your favorites, or even shop early for the holidays!
