Good Morning Friends! Sorry, I've been pretty MIA on this blog and instagram this past week. I've been fighting Hand, Foot and Mouth virus that I caught from my son...(thanks daycare!). Now that we're on the mend, I'm itching to get back over here to tell you what I've been all googly eyed over this past week! Let's get started!

First, if you've been following me on snapchat the past few days, you're already aware that I am D y i n g  over Athleta's new Fall line! Can't you see yourself wearing this shirt dress to a pumpkin patch with leggings and boots? Ugh, the comfort. Both colors are perfection, but the best part is this "shirt" is actually built like a dress. It includes darts in the back for a more flattering feminine (hourglass) fit. No boxy oversized shirt here ;)

The other item I must have is this knit little number. I can't think of a more flattering silhouette for such a simple dress. I can easily dress this up for work and then throw on a pair of sneakers for the weekend or ankle boots for date night. I am literally in love with this dress....this photo had me sold. Now to only choose a color...I'm naturally drawn to the grey (as that seems to be my go to in the Fall/Winter), but the Wild Raison would be a much more flattering color on my pale skin! Stay tuned! I plan to run into Athleta next week for some quality one on one with these dolls... I'll post pictures :)


Oh what's another one? I'm drooling over is this one....I mean, seriously. Stop it.

Ok, second. I popped over onto Nordstrom's sight earlier this week and saw that this Madewell top that was sadly sold out months ago, is not only restocked in my size, but on sale :) Yay for me! Oh and yay for Nordstrom Rewards! (insert dancing girl emoji!)


Third, Friends. Friends the show that I've been binge watching on Netflix with the hubs the past few weeks. We are on season three where Ross meets Emily. Currently I have a huge fan crush on Rachel's hair, because, well...duh. And! I've realized that everything they've been wearing in the past two seasons is having a moment again this Fall! So if you're curious on what you'll be dying to have in the next few months (who am I kidding, go now!), go watch friends for some inspiration! Or just go to the store and buy yourself a wrap mini skirt, a fitted turtleneck, and square heals. You're welcome. :)
Ugh, her hair is so good...





Yes, I took pictures of my TV for my stylist. Guilty! lol


Finally, meal planning. Yes! I'm saying it. You guys, I love meal planning! The hubs and I no longer spend over an hour at night trying to figure out what to make that ultimately ends in us ordering in- Huge budget buster! Read this post for how we've been going about meal planning. I'll have another post up next week on some favorite recipes we've been trying!


Well, that's it for me! Anything you think I need to check out? Share it in the comments!
Muah!

It's that time again!
Hello my dear friends! It's finally Friday! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was writing last week's post!

Here's what I'm loving this week:


1) This Highchair for Will. We literally take it everywhere and it makes eating out or going over to my parents house So much easier. Perfect gift idea if you know someone with a little one!


2) This haircut and color! I'm debating hard on whether I want to do the big chop :I Thoughts?


3) This outfit for Will's first birthday next month! I can't even believe we're already planning his first birthday!


4) This K-cup storage idea and this mug rack option for my coffee bar.


5) This dress from LOFT's new Fall arrivals (currently $25 Off!) that I shared on my SnapChat yesterday (JessElaineBlog). It's insanely comfortable and so flattering! I also LOVE the idea of this dress and these boots (all sized restocked!) from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale (only 3 days left!). These outfits are perfect to transition into Fall ;)


Well, that's all I've got! It's a little cooler here this week, so I'm going to go enjoy some outdoor time with the family- what are you up to?
