WHAT WE ARE EATING
I’m pretty sure that I’ve shown these meals before (because they are always in my rotation), but I thought I would show them again today!
This is a “quiche” I make on the regular. I use a carb friendly burrito sized tortilla and I place it into a cake pan. The quiche filling is simple: eggs, cottage cheese, pepperjack cheese, and any veggies or meats you want! My favorite combo is cherry tomatoes, spinach, and some pre-made pico de gallo. I don’t follow a recipe, I just mix everything up until it looks right. It’s DELISH!
If you haven’t ever had the Organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup from Trader Joe’s, you are seriously missing out. On this day I paired it with a couple of grilled cheese sandwich halves on homemade sourdough (courtesy of a friend!).
Chris grills a mean burger, I love to load it up with veggies, and I love to eat Alexa onion rings on the side. They crisp up perfectly in the air fryer.

WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT
I’ve missed a couple of Senior Sunday pics, so here’s two to break your heart wide open.
These three little fellas together were the cutest thing you have ever seen.
And here’s a fresh little Carter with our first boy, Scout. I think Carter was just about 5 days old here. What I would give to hold that sweet baby again.

WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO
It’s been crazy around here the last several weeks, but Homecoming was last weekend, so I’ve got a handful of pics for y’all…
I thought he looked so handsome.

WHAT WE’VE BEEN WATCHING
We’ve been watching the new season of Ted Lasso, but I’m super sad to report that we don’t love it. 🙁 It doesn’t seem to have the same heart or the same charm of previous seasons.

WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT
This little toiletry bag trio was a random purchase on Amazon that I just happened to make, AND I LOVE IT. The block print is colorful and fun, and I love the mix of pink, blue, and green (the colors are actually a bit more vibrant in person). I went with the “Pattern-7” but there are countless numbers of adorable colors and patterns to choose from. The little tassel is such a cute touch too. They’re roomy enough for makeup, toiletries, or all of those little travel essentials, and I love that they come in three different sizes. Such a cute and fun way to keep your things organized.

WHAT I’M WEARING / SHOPPING FOR
This chunky cardigan is such a great fall piece. I love the rich burgundy color, oversized buttons, and slightly cropped fit. It looks great with a simple pair of jeans, and the heart necklace and bracelet stack add just the right amount of fun. An easy, pulled-together outfit that still feels casual and comfy! It also comes in wasabi, navy, and camel. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This cardi is more of a fitted and polished look than the chunky cardi above. It has a slightly cropped fit, and it looks great worn open over a simple tee. This green is a punchy color for fall, and while it would be great over a regular white tee, I love it paired over this chocolate brown. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but it’s definitely runs on the smaller side. Size up if you don’t want it quite so fitted.

The leopard print cardi is such a fun statement, but the classic camel and black color combo makes it incredibly easy to wear. I paired it with a simple brown tee and jeans and then added the colorful beaded necklace for a playful pop. This is one of those outfits that feels effortless but still has so much personality! It’s the same cardi as above, just in a leopard pattern. So again, I’m wearing a medium, but size up if you want a more relaxed feel.

Here’s the same cardi one more time, but the classic plaid gives the whole outfit a classic fall feel while still being totally casual and wearable. Once again, size up if you want a bit more of a relaxed fit (I’m wearing a medium and it’s snug).

This cashmere blend polo sweater is DARLING! I love the preppy collar mixed with the fun, colorful stripes, and the short sleeves make it perfect for those in-between fall days. It looks so cute with jeans and a simple bracelet stack—easy, comfortable, and just a little bit unexpected! Like the cardigans above, this definitely runs on the smaller side. I’m in a medium, but it’s very fitted. Super soft and comfy, but VERY fitted.

This sweater is SO pretty. The soft creamy color and open-knit texture gives a simple jeans-and-sweater outfit so much interest. The slightly relaxed fit is easy and flattering, and the turquoise necklace with the little heart pendant is such a fun pop of color. Add jeans and neutral booties and you’ve got an effortless fall outfit that still feels special. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This short-sleeve sweater is adorable. I love the pretty pink and neutral pattern, and the contrast trim and buttons give it such a cute, polished look. The slightly cropped length works perfectly with the bootcut jeans. Such a fun little sweater for transitioning into fall! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It also comes in a pretty light blue, brown, and cream combo.

WHAT’S ON SALE
There’s a 30% OFF Friends and Family Sale going on at Athleta that you’re not going to want to miss!
The jet set bomber (#1 and #5) is probably my favorite find, which is why you see it twice in the collage below. This jacket has EXCELLENT reviews (we’re talking over 2,000 and most of them are 5 stars). I can’t 100% decide which color I want, but I’m thinking the Umber.
The luxe recover sweatshirt (#3) is actually 40% OFF and comes in tons of colors.
The Venice high rise wide leg pants (#4) have over 4,000 reviews, and the majority are 5 stars! They are all-way stretch fabric with a no-dig waistband, and I think I’m going to have to try them.

These Gola sneakers are only 10% OFF, but I sure do love them!
This chocolate sweater is such a great basic and it’s NOW ON SALE! I love the rich chocolate brown for fall, and the simple classic fit makes it one you can wear a million different ways. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I paired it with jeans and neutral booties, but the turquoise layered necklaces are what really make the outfit. Easy, classic, and so cute.
The code SHEAFFERSIMS will get you 80% OFF your first month of membership at Vivrelle. I’m absolutely loving my Goyard bag and they have lots of Goyard bags to choose from!

This striped sweater is such a great everyday fall find! I love the warm camel color with the contrasting stripes, and the relaxed fit gives it that easy, throw-it-on-and-go feel. It looks so good with jeans and neutral booties, and I love the brown bag with it too. This is exactly the kind of sweater I’d reach for over and over again! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but could probably do a small.

This argyle cardigan is SO cute! I love the rich navy with the blue and green argyle—it has that classic preppy feel, but the bright colors make it feel fresh and fun. I added a colorful beaded necklace for an extra little pop, and it looks great with simple jeans and neutral booties. Such a fun way to do preppy for fall! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Okay, this outfit is SUCH a good transition-to-fall look! The field jacket is the star for me and it is SALE ON SALE. I love the muted green, the slightly structured shape, and how it gives a simple white tee and jeans an instant pulled-together feel. It’s casual, but it definitely doesn’t feel boring. You need to go to the site to check out more pictures because the ruffled collar is absolutely fabulous (but you can’t see it in my pic). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
These dark wash bootcut jeans are really good. The darker wash feels perfect for fall, and I love the long, lean leg with just a little bit of flare. They’re incredibly flattering and give the whole outfit a more polished vibe. I chose the 32″ length for these.
This is exactly the kind of outfit I want to wear all fall long.
