I am so obsessed with these new Summer Fridays JetLag eye patches!  And this Summer Fridays travel pack is such a great value and convenient to have for trips.

Here’s a before and after I took of my eye after using the Summer Fridays eye patches! I’m so amazed at how much brighter and smoother the fine lines are!

Cody tried the eye patches and my mind was blown!!  Had to share his before and after too. These eye patches are incredible and really work!

This Paula’s Choice Exfoliate is a must-have skincare item for me that I’ve been using for years now.

The sale is such a great time to stock up on lip products – these are some of my current favorites in my makeup bag!

I have on the Rare Beauty Blush combo in this photo and love it for spring!  My favorite curling iron I used to curl my hair here is also included in the sale – I love the longer wand on it and it makes my hair so shiny!

My holy grail hair product — this dae styling cream is so so good!! Its a leave in conditioner, styling cream and heat protectant all in one

This O/S setting spray is a new to me product and its been worth the hype – I’m loving it so far!

I just got this blue dress and I’m in love with it.  It would be the perfect wedding guest dress or event dress. The color is SO beautiful and vibrant – the perfect cheerful blue color for spring and summer!  Its so flattering and such a great fit. With the sale happening now it’s under $150!!

I’ve been wearing and raving about these gray jogger sweatpants for YEARS!  They are such a closet staple and something I wear multiple times per week. They are so comfy and great quality – they hold up so well and wash so well.

This black zip up hoodie is new, I had it in navy and loved it so much I got another color. The material is more silky-ish scuba material and super soft. I love that it feels a little more luxe than just a basic zip up sweatshirt

This gray scoop tank is another item I’ve had for years in multiple colors. Its such a great basic and something I wear all the time.

Abercrombie is one of my favorite places to buy swimsuits and when they are on sale like this, they are such a great price point for the amazing quality!  They are thick and hold their shape so well and don’t fade. I am loving this brown swimsuit – the white line detail is so flattering and the top is super supportive!  It comes in a cute one piece version too.

These cut off jean shorts are another major closet staple for me. I wear them ALL the time and they are such a great price right now with the 25% off!  They are so comfy and such a great length for chasing my kids around. Full outfit linked here.

This green dress is so beautiful and also included in the sale!! It would make such a great spring or summer wedding guest dress or bridesmaid dress. You can wear it with the sleeves up like I have shown, and I also love it with one side hanging off the shoulder too.

I’ve raved about these straight leg jeans so many times– for good reason!! You can’t beat the under $100 price for such a great pair of quality staple jeans. I love them dressed up with heels or down with sneakers.

I just got these new denim shorts and I LOVE them!!  They hold their shape so well and don’t crease – they are so flattering!  They are a little shorter and more fitted than my dad shorts I’ve had for a long time, so a good alternative if you are looking for a different style.  Wearing with my Abercrombie scoop tank!

It wouldn’t be an Abercrombie sale without me mentioning my family’s FAVORITE hoodies!!! My entire family wears and loves these essential hoodies. They are SO soft and cozy – they wash so well.  I wear the mens size large for an oversized comfy fit!

Another view of my go to Abercrombie jeans in a darker color that included in the sale! Love these with no distressing- they are perfect dressed up with heels like shown here.

Wedding event dress roundup – these are all 25% off making them under $150 each!! They have so many beautiful dresses right now its hard to choose. These are perfect for all wedding events – as a wedding guest, a bridesmaid or rehearsal dinners and events.

Happy Friday!!  We are on our way back from Miami and some of my must have travel items are top of mind. So today my Friday 5 list are all things I used and loved this week while traveling!

Friday 5:  Beis luggage // black maxi dress // sunglasses // black travel tote // purse

Tortoise sunglasses:  I’ve had and loved these sunglasses for years!  They are really thick and sturdy feeling — they feel super expensive and they are under $100!  I love the gold line detail across the top, it makes them look more luxe. The large size of them gives great face coverage from the sun too! They come in multiple colors. Love these!

Woven shoulder bag:  This woven purse is so classic!  I’ve had it for years and I pack it on every beach vacation trip we take. It goes with everything and makes the perfect vacation purse. I love the chain strap detail on it. Highly recommend!

Black Skims Dress:  This long black maxi dress is another item I have had and loved for years. Its so comfy and stretchy – I pack this on every trip and love wearing it on the airplane. I love that its so comfy that I feel like I’m wearing pajamas but I look put together at the same time. The black is my favorite, its super flattering. I have and love the long sleeve version too!

Suitcase:  These beis suitcases are my all time favorite suitcases. They are so sturdy and such amazing quality. If you travel freqently enough, they are totally worth the investment!  I love how stylish all the different color options are, and the hard shell makes it so easy to wipe clean after traveling. I love this black beis weekend bag too! This full travel outfit and other beis suitcases I have and love – linked here. 

Black travel bag:  This Baggu cloud bag is seriously amazing!! I’ve used it on so many trips over the years and its held up so well. Its a great price point for how much use I get out of it!  Its like jumbo sized and holds so much. The black color and material is easy to keep clean too.

Friday Five: Purse // Black Travel Tote // Sunglasses // Beis luggage // Black skims dress

This week’s Friday 5 links here

Happy Friday!  I’m so excited to share a new weekly series with you – my Friday Five.  Each Friday, I will pick the top 5 products in my mind from that week. Some will be old finds I’ve loved for years, and some will be new finds I’m loving!

1. Dibs Blush/Bronzer stick: I’m obsessed with this!! I’ve been using it and loving it for years now. It goes on so smooth and gives the perfect glow. Its so convenient having both my blush and bronzer on one stick.  Side note – this is my favorite makeup brush right now that I use with it!
2. These bags come in a set of 12 and are under $15!  These are the best for organizing your closet. I use them to color code and organize my swimsuits! They are also great for organizing kids games, puzzles, small toys, etc.  See video of how I used them to organize my swimsuits here.
3. These crochet chargers come in a set of 2 and are so pretty for Spring and Summer hosting. They’re perfect for upcoming Easter tablescapes too!
4. I’m obsessed with my new green gym shorts! They’re so flattering and look exactly like some more expensive pairs I’ve seen. They’re on sale for 30% off right now making them under $15! Comes in multiple colors too.
5. My Abercrombie dad jean shorts!  These are my go-to denim shorts for spring and summer. They’re the perfect length and so flattering and are a great price point for the quality. They go on sale a lot too!

I’m excited to round up my bestsellers from 2024!  This list is always so fun to see what you guys loved the most. Everything is still in stock today and they are all items that I still use and LOVE and 10/10 highly recommend!

1. First up is this beautiful wood arched cabinet from Walmart! This cabinet kept selling out for good reason – its such amazing quality and looks so much more expensive than it is…and its under $400!! This specific cabinet comes in 3 colors and it also comes in a few different similar styles too. If you are looking for a cabinet for your living room or kitchen, this is the best find!

2. I did an entry way refresh last year and this console table was the perfect piece!! This ribbed light wood console table is so sturdy and such great quality and you won’t believe the price!  I love how the light color brightens up our entry way and that it has storage inside to hide loose ends.

3.  This white boucle swivel accent chair continues to be a best seller and I can’t recommend it enough! We bought two of them last year and have had them in our primary bedroom – they make the perfect bedroom accent chairs for reading and watching TV. The chair is oversized enough its like a chair and a half and perfect for curling up and lounging in it.

We recently moved one of the chairs to my living room because I wanted to refresh the space – I am obsessed with how the swivel chair brightened up my living room! It’s so cozy and the boucle material is such great quality – it has held up so well over the last year. The chair is under $300 and I will recommend it over and over again!  I was excited to see it now comes in a smaller kids version too that is under $100! 

4. This burgundy sleeveless long dress is so beautiful and flattering that I’ve worn it to multiple events over the past year and have it in multiple colors! Its been a staple go to dress for me and some of my favorite and most worn dresses come from this retailer – they are affordable and so gorgeous!  This one is under $100!

5. These knee high brown boots were such an amazing find!  I was excited that tall boots are back in style and love this brown suede pair – they are super affordable under $100!

6. My shark vacuum carper and upholstery cleaner is something we can never live without now!  With four kids and a big dog, I feel like I am always cleaning up carpet stains. I love that this cleaner worked so well on our white couches too. The before and after was mind blowing!

7. You guys know I’m obsessed with Abercrombie and these black pants from there are some of my top favorites!  They are the perfect wide leg pant. I love how they can be dressed up more polished for a work pant, or down with sneakers. I like to wear them when I’m traveling on an airplane too because they are so comfy. They are under $100 and they go on sale a lot – and they come in lots of different colors! I love the lighter colors for spring and summer too!

8. This pink crochet swimsuit coverup is something I wore on repeat last year for our beach vacation and over the summer. I love that its flowy and not too short so I’m comfortable chasing around my kids and hanging with the family, but its also so stylish and flattering!  I love this pink dress so much that I just ordered the new bright blue color for my beach trip this year! I also love this affordable alternative version– such a great dupe for under $40!

9. I’m such a huge fan of adidas and these burgundy spezial adidas were a most loved pair from this past year!  They are such a great, comfy everyday sneaker to wear with jeans or sweats. I love all of the different colors for different seasons!

There were some amazing shopping finds in 2024 but some of my very favorites were some of my Walmart Home finds. For the price point and quality, some of these stylish home pieces really just can’t be beat. Since I am still loving these finds in my home a year later, I wanted to share since they are still in stock to purchase!

sweater / swivel chair / cozy blanket

These white boucle accent swivel chairs are at the top of the list for my must-haves and have been a bestseller this past year – for good reason!  They are SO spacious and comfy to lounge in. They are an amazing look for less of a Pottery Barn chair I was eyeing for years that was over $1,300! We have 2 in our primary bedroom and hang out on them all the time. They have held up so well for the past year and I recommend them to everyone I know!  We styled them with this storage ottoman which matches perfectly and is so nice to store blankets, etc inside. It also now comes in green, charcoal (on sale under $200!) and a fawn beige color. If you are looking for an accent chair for anywhere in your house – you really can’t beat this white swivel chair, its under $300!!

entry table / lamp / white bowl / black vase / wall art / rug

I was craving an entryway refresh last year and this oak sideboard console table was the perfect solution. I love how bright the wood color on it is – it really lightened up the space and I love that there’s plenty of storage inside of it. We love and use it in our entry way, but it would be a great media table in a living room or side table in a bedroom as well. And its on sale right now for under $450!  It comes in a dark walnut and black color too.

white planter / pink fleece jacket / gray sweats

I can’t believe I am saying this but even during the freezing winter right now, the new year makes me already feel spring approaching!  Now is the time to start thinking about styling your patio and front porch. There’s nothing better than a bright and colorful outdoor refresh after a freezing cold and dark winter!  I found these white planters last year and they quickly sold out.  They are such a nice, large size and under $30!!  I styled them with little trees and this year might plant some bright flowers in some. They are such a good find and will probably sell out quickly again this year!

sweater / swivel chair / cozy blanket

This brown fuzzy blanket was also a bestseller last year – I love it so much I have it in multiple colors!  The brown and white are both great neutrals. Its so soft and cozy and rivals more expensive blankets I’ve seen – and its under $30!  This makes a great gift too.

Which is your favorite home find from 2024?  Don’t sleep on Walmart home!!  They have a bunch of different home lines with amazing pieces. I just ordered some new Walmart home pieces that I am excited to style and can’t wait to share!

The post 2024 Holiday Gift Guides appeared first on Hello Fashion.

One of my favorite posts from the good old blog days were the monthly list of family winter bucket list activity ideas so I’ve been so excited to resurrect it! Started with some ideas to add to your family winter bucket list – some of the would be great with kids, others could work as date night activities too. Comment any other of your favorite winter bucket list activities or traditions below so we can keep it rolling. 🙂

1. Snow sports! Whether you’re a seasoned skier or snowboarder or it’s the bunny slopes for you, pencil in a day at the ski resorts! No matter your skill level, anyone could enjoy a little apres ski anyway.
2. Find and participate in a Sub for Santa or charity in some way. This is one of our favorite family traditions, especially being able to involve the kids in it. You never know how someone might be struggling during the holidays and there are so many cool charities and foundations already set up to find a way to help. Pick one and see how it completely changes your mood!
3. Get crafty! This one is great for all ages – there are endless craft ideas to make this winter a little cozier. I loved this idea on Tiktok of painting your own gingerbread house door mat – genius! Would be so cute as a girl’s night activity too. And there are so many gorgeous craft ideas for holiday decor, from Christmas ornaments to garland. With younger kids it will still have that cute, personal keepsake feel to it but you’d be surprised as kids get older how artistic they become – sometimes crafts turn out like something you would pay big bucks for in-store!
4. Hot chocolate bar. This one is great with the kids – they will love getting creative with toppings and will probably enjoy the opportunity to go all out haha. Pair it with a cozy wintry move and bundle up in some warm blankets for a fun family memory.
5. Become a hockey fan. Okay granted there are plenty of sports you can enjoy during the winter, but Salt Lake just got an NHL team so seems like no better time than the present to start to pay attention to the sport haha. I have a feeling the boys would become addicted fast.
6. Have a family bake-off. On those days where nobody feels like leaving the house, get creative with a bake-off! It will be a great way to get creative in the kitchen and hopefully the outcome will be pretty tasty too 🙂
7. Host a ‘favorite things’ party instead of your typical white elephant or Secret Santa gift exchange. Everyone brings x number of their favorite things (usually within a lower budget since they’ll bring one for every guest in attendance) – have fun getting to know each other on a whole new level and go home with some tried and true favorites.
8. Gratitude journals. This is another tradition we’ve tried to keep up as a family. Especially around Thanksgiving, it’s a great reminder to document the many, many things we have to be thankful for. And it’s crazy, you never seem to run out of things to add to the list once you put yourself in that mindset.
9. Book a photographer. Whether you are in the habit of sending out Christmas or holiday cards every year or not, let this be your reminder to book some pictures! Typically the lighting is a little more forgiving in the winter since it tends to be more overcast, so bundle up in some cute, coordinated layers and get candid for some updated photos! Some of my favorites are from our photoshoots in the snow. If that’s not in the budget, set up your own festive backdrop for some equally memorable family photos. 🙂
10. Take advantage of the seasonal events. This time of year, there are usually sooo many for all ages – Disney on Ice, community plays or musicals, talented musicians touring. Even if it’s outside your normal comfort zone, it’s something you may never do again and that’s just one cool experience you would never have had otherwise.
11. Have a gingerbread decorating competition. I swear half the candy gets eaten before it makes it onto the house (and then the other half of the candy after the house gets done haha) but it’s such a fun tradition, with friends or family alike.
12. Hit a winter market. So many creators and entrepreneurs work all year long in preparation of winter markets and selling their wares for Christmas presents. And you can find so many personal, breathtaking pieces that you would never find in store. Make a point to check out a winter market near you and support local artists – and also feel like you’re starring in a Hallmark Christmas movie haha.

I always love a chance to dress up for events – especially shopping for fall wedding guest dresses! Here are a few of my favorites recently…

BURGUNDY DRESS
LIPSTICK (SHADE: PLUMALICIOUS)
LIP LINER (SHADE: PLUM & GET IT)
TWO TONE STUDS

I’ve worn this dress multiple times since I got it last fall – it’s so versatile and the prettiest shade of burgundy for fall. Would make a great option for just about any type of fall wedding guest dress. Get a better look at the dress in this try-on video I did or you can shop the full look and similar options here.

BROWN METALLIC GOWN
BLACK STRAPPY SANDAL
EARRINGS
BAG

The fail-safe pick for any fall weddings this season – brown. There are so many stunning options (linking a few of my favorites below), but I chose this metallic number for LTKCon this year. It made such a statement on it’s own, that I kept all other accessories simple. You can shop more of my favorite brown fall wedding guest dresses here.

Also love this one and this one (both under $100) and the silhouette of this one would definitely land you on the best-dressed guest list.

FLORAL STRAPLESS GOWN
BOW HEEL

This dress is the perfect blend of romance and sophistication. I love the moody floral print and full skirt, but the slit keeps it feeling youthful and flirty. I added this statement heel and a bold earring to dress it up but you can also opt for a solid stiletto and hoops for a more minimalist take on such a statement dress.

GREEN HALTER GOWN (MORE SIZES HERE)
NUDE SANDALS
SEQUIN CLUTCH

Also love this shade of green – the color is super versatile so it works for fall, spring, or summer weddings. Under $100 too, so great budget option!

You can find more posts about what to wear to fall weddings here and holiday dressing inspo here.
