1. Under-$50 Jewelry Finds

Quality and priced right, I’ve been wearing these on repeat lately:

• The beaded necklace we can’t quit (in peridot) ~ and this new for Fall option (in D: green aventurine)
• An under-$10 ring set to mix and match ~ adds that little something unexpected to everyday outfits
• Turquoise that can be worn long or doubled up ~ restocked and 20% off this week!
• This red one and done style ~ slightly over budget but also 20% off this week

2. A Little Thing To Love

I added this tissue box cover to my desk in a classic navy ticking stripe. Just seeing it as I sit down to work every day makes me feel cozy and happy.

3. A Simplified Skincare Routine

I started fresh with a new skincare routine this past March and as a 40-something mom who grew up without sunscreen, my skin has never looked better:

• One Skin Body Lotion ~ this one is not new and I’ve seen major results over the last 5 years with the loose skin around my arms and inner thighs being much tighter. Very worth it. And use code LATELY15
• ZIIP Halo ~ to tighten and brighten. use code LATELYZIIP for 10% of and a free gel discovery set through this link
• Vintner’s Daughter ~ 3 insanely high quality products designed to work together (the bottles last 10 weeks!) I agree with Oprah…
• CurrentBody’s Series 2 LED Mask ~ yes, the benefits of the extra wavelength are amazing but the 10 minute routine helps me put my phone down and practice mindfulness before bed. Use code LATELY for an extra 10% off this exclusive bundle.

4. The Perfect Pair Of Sweatshorts

A just right length in a wide flattering waistband with buttery soft material AND amazing color options. I own 2 pairs and take my regular size small. Wear them for travel, cozy nights at home or everyday errands. And see how I elevated them in this outfit with a short sleeve sweater and handwoven flats.

5. Getting Ready For Our Disney Cruise

A few things I ordered and will be adding everything I’m packing here as we head out in a couple weeks:

• Headphones where I can still hear the kids
• This bag is absolutely adorable (yes, I’m that mom now…and I love it)
• These under $100 Sunglasses
• These boxer shorts in blush pink stripe for morning coffee runs and a quick swimsuit coverup
• A refill of the only face sunscreen that doesn’t irritate my eyes ~ use code LATELY15

6. The Underwear That Saved The Summer

This Pepper strapless bra has been a game changer! So comfortable I forget I even have it on which is unheard of for a strapless style. I wear this regular style for everyday.

And after I tried Eby’s underwear I immediately went back and ordered more. They have these super comfortable side grips that keep them in place, even on the hottest days. I wear this brief for under flowy dresses and this thong style for no lines under pants/shorts.

7. The Lip Balm I Now Carry With Me At All Times

Since getting Invisalign I’m apparently mouth breathing more so this viral Necessaire Lip Balm has been a lifesaver. I’ve also been use their Rosemary Shampoo & Conditioner to help strengthen my fine/thinning hair.

8. Pre-Fall Arrivals

I’ve started adding the favorites HERE but a few highlights:

• This sweater and this jacket from Boden’s latest new arrivals are stunning ~ see everything I saved from Boden lately HERE (oh and this jacket!!)
• This Varley sweater vest to wear on it’s own now and layered all through Winter.
• These Pistola Jeans (use code CLAIRE15) and these Madewell jeans (in petite length, I’m 5’3″) arrived and both are incredible. Take your regular size in both.
• Ordering this classic navy blazer to try (compared to this splurge option~use code YOUROCK)

9. Everyday Tote Bags Under-$250

Someone asked me this week for mom-friendly holds your life together tote bags under-$250 and here are a few to take a look at:

• A pure leather option also includes a laptop case…and the suede style too!
• This one has been a workhorse in my closet for over a year and still going strong.
• Adorable Gingham to wipe clean and is travel friendly

10. Reading A Good Book

I’ve been feeling my stress levels rising lately and this book is exactly what I needed.
