Accidental Fall Wardrobe Capsule

I am sooooooooo far from being a fashion blogger.  But, this fall I unintentionally made a fall wardrobe capsule, and what I mean by that is that I seem to be wearing the same outfits over and over again.  I think everyone around me might be tired of looking at the same thing but I love it so I am keepin’ it on.  I tend to go with a flowy lacy look that almost always include skinny jeans or leggings.  I never go to the store for anything besides groceries, so all of my clothes and accessories are purchased online.  If you know me, you know that I have about 4 favorite places to shop and most everything here is from Grace & Lace, Pink Blush, Free People, or Modcloth. Check out my accidental fall capsule:Fall Fashion

Christmas Booklist

Thanksgiving is over and we can finally talk about Christmas!!!  It almost feels like a breath of fresh air to not have to hide my Christmas obsession for a month.  Anyone else?!?!  Now that we're all exposed....I had such a great response from my post on fall books last month that I knew I had to make a Christmas book post for y’all.  I try to rotate our books quite often, especially with the seasons.  It gives us a lot of opportunities to discuss what is currently going on and presents opportunities to reinforce what we’re reading with real life application. As we go through and learn about the different seasons, it's a great time to switch out some of our books.  Here are some of our favorite Christmas books that we will be working through this Christmas. (And if you want to do a Christmas book a day, this is how we do it).
