LAKE HOLIDAY PAJAMAS

If you are a fan of GOOD pajamas, and matching with the family during the holidays, LAKE Pajamas has the best options.

If you have been around here for a while, you know we LOVE LAKE pajamas! I started wearing them during pregnancy and immediately fell in love with their PIMA Cotton sets. You might also remember us wearing the Blair Eadie x LAKE Collection during our trip to Primland.

We had our first twinning moment with the kids when they were little (see below for a throwback!) last year and to say it was a core memory is an understatement. I can’t believe how little Olive was omg. We love the seasonal collections as well as the classics that they have year-round! They always do special prints for the holidays that are beyond cute. Last year Olive and Phoenix did the Nutcrackers and ornaments and they were ADORABLE. This year they have more cute and festive prints to choose from! I had my eye on the Scarlet Antoinette if I was going to add a print. The snowflakes are super cute too and you definitely wear both of those all season long.

*for kids I recommend sizing up in all pjs! adults run TTS *

We went with the classic red stripes this year in order to get more longevity and wear out of them, but don’t get me wrong I am swooning over the prints too! I wear my red stripes year round and trust me when I say that these Kimono Pajamas are my most worn item! I have them in blue too and they totally can pass as loungewear. Below I am wearing them when John and I had our wine & Christmas cards night a few days ago!

Gifts for Everyone From Nisolo

Nisolo shoes rebecca piersol

I love any chance to share a brand that has gifts for EVERYONE! Well, ok, maybe not children in this case. But, the grown-ups in your life. Yep, I’m a mom now so I say things like “grown-ups.”

When my friend came to me about a partnership with Nisolo for the holidays I literally JUMPED at the opportunity. I have admired the brand from a far for years, but hadn’t tried them for myself. When I say they lived up to and surpassed expectations that may be an understatement. Their leather goods – shoes and bags – are all gorgeous and quality-made. Plus, they have a little something for everyone.

Nisolo focuses on sustainable and ethical practices when making their stunning leather shoes and bags. So, on top of creating quality goods, they also are doing so in an ethically responsible and sustainable way. We are talking 0% Net Carbon and 100% Living Wages. Each product comes with a Sustainability Facts label so you know exactly the impact your pieces have.

Now to the good part! First of all, their Black Friday sale is running right now which means SERIOUS discounts so now is the time to shop.

I am wearing the Mia Everyday booties! Right now these are on the sale, making them UNDER $150. They are also doing Buy One, Get One right now for this shoe which is an insane deal. Get a pair for your mom and your sister, or better yet, your favorite lady and YOU.

John is wearing the All-Weather Mateo Boot. I think these shoes are SOOO good looking. Like, the best mens shoes I have seen in a while. John wears them to school, where he is on his feet teaching all day and says they are SUPER comfortable. They are also on sale right now.

Halloween Idea: Beth Dutton, Yellowstone

Bring the western vibes with Beth Dutton style for Halloween, or simply just to bring the vibes and the hype for the final episodes of Yellowstone.

This post has been the most popular here for a few years, but I keep it updated with current picks!

beth dutton style inspiration

Raise your hand if you love Yellowstone!

From the moment we started the first episode of Yellowstone last year we were hooked. To the characters, the western vibes and Montana. The reason we decided to go out west to Whitefish & Glacier was because we were seeking the Yellowstone vibes and landscape. It did not disappoint!

Without a doubt, the most badass character on the show is Beth Dutton and her entire ethos has had me riveted from day one. I love how she fully embraced ranch style once she left the city to come work with her family at Yellowstone. Its a nonchalant, yet super western chic look and truly a vibe.

TIS THE SEASON! PAJAMA SEASON.

We have been highlighting gift ideas that we will be gifting / would love to give this year. Like the things we actually have and love. LAKE PAJAMAS are DEFINITELY on that list. We fell in love with LAKE’s Pima Cotton pajamas earlier this year and haven’t looked back. They are BEYOND soft.

I wore them throughout my pregnancy, they have nursing friendly options now, they carried us through the summer and now we are loving their holiday collection! They have pajamas for the whole family. Phoenix and Olive have little matching sets and we are gonna grab a couple of pairs for our husbands this year.

HAPPY GIFTING!

Holiday Style: The Bodysuit Trend

free people x revolve turnt body suit

IT’S TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOLIDAY ‘FITS AND BODYSUITS ARE TRENDING IN A BIG WAY!


Across all of my favorite retailers I am seeing bodysuits of all kinds! Comfy ones, sparkly ones, long sleeves, halter etc etc. I had to see what all the fuss was about so I ordered this Free People x Revolve Turnt Bodysuit. I gotta say I was very pleasantly surprised. Honestly it could have gone either way, but….. Bodysuits are flattering. 

Shocked me, honestly!

Beth Dutton Casual Style: Yellowstone Halloween

If Beth Dutton had an everyday uniform, I think that this would be it. Call it a costume or call it western-inspired style – whatever it is, here it is 🙂

beth dutton style inspoLast year I shared my most visited blog post to date, which was how to recreate Beth Dutton’s style for Halloween.  I chose the big fur coat look and for a whole year you guys have been repeatedly visiting the site.  Is it Beth Dutton’s not give a F attitude or just that we love western inspired style? Maybe both!

Last Minute Gifts for You (or her) Under $100

Treat yourself or the ladies in your life with these gifts under $100 this holiday season.

the crystal press holiday fashion

When we polled you guys a while back on instagram, a good portion of you said that you like to treat yourselves during the holidays and we have to agree! So we rounded up some favorite finds from some of our favorite retailers under $100. Grab a gift for your best friend and get something for you while you are at it!

I personally treated myself to these Soludos slippers and just LOVE them. Another great idea is a fun top for New Years mor a pair of chic pajamas. We’ve been talking a lot on stories about the Target Pajamas and are hardcore fans of those, but it could also be fun to treat yourself to something a little more fancy. This Free People set looks luxe.

Mixing Textures For The Perfect Holiday Looks

Here’s a guide for how to mix interesting velvet and sequin pieces into your holiday outfits.

When Catherine and I were planning for this shoot, for once we were super organized. We planned out at least four looks as we wanted to maximize our time in the studio space! Cath had the idea of us each choosing a stand out piece and building two different looks with it. She chose the sequin top and I chose the velvet dress as both felt super festive for the holidays!!

While both of these pieces are sold out, we wanted to encourage you guys to create some interesting looks this holiday season by layering and pairing unlikely items together to make fun ‘fits.
