I know we're not even into November yet but this year we're already getting a head start on the holidays. Mason has been alerting us and Santa on what he wants for Christmas this year. I think this is the first year that I've noticed Amazon, Walmart, and Target have sent out holiday gift catalogs. Mason has been flipping through the pages telling us about everything he sees that he likes. It's the first mail he looks out for now.

Fall Sweater Trend: Twist Front Sweaters
Back in August I shared one of my favorite sweater trends to look out for, textured sweaters. While I am still completely obsessed with them I have also been noticing another big fall sweater trend, twist front sweaters. This is the first year that I have jumped on board with this look. They look great with anything high waisted since most of them are on the cropped side. This specific fall twist front sweater is super affordable, comes in lots of colors, and has the cutest shoulder cut-outs! I have already worn my twist front ... Read more...
