The France Dance Paperback – April 8, 2025 | Amazon (US)

Cinnamon roll turkeys are some thing my family has been making for over a decade. Thanksgiving morning, the kids lineup in the kitchen to create this funny breakfast while we watch the parade, and the adult sip coffee or maybe even a mimosa. This is such a fun tradition to begin at your own home.Plus, grocery delivery through Walmart is a game changer!

My Thanksgiving table used only pieces i already owned. I love using kind of atypical fall colors like dusty rose and pine green. I linked as much as I could find. 🧡

The coziest reading nook for fall and winter was so much fun to put together. 🧡

The perfect dusky pink hydrangea for fall. 🫶🏻 Use a vase you already have and make the space your own.

I’m kind of surprised how versatile this tea shirt from Levi’s really is. I bought it months ago and have worn it a ton. Today knotted at the waist with a super old skirt from Cabi and my favorite Sezane mules.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip #LTKOver40

Well as usual I’m wearing clothes that are super old, but I’ve linked some similar pieces if you’re wanting to copy the look. The shoes in the photo are my fancy shoes, so if you’re wanting an investment piece, I linked a very similar pair bc duh mine are old, but I also linked a trusty pair of a Nine West version. 😘

#LTKStyleTip #LTKParties #LTKSeasonal

These pants are AGES old but still available on Amazon!! I LOVE them and have worn them for years! Mom bought me the top at a boutique at the beach and couldn’t find one anywhere, but any white top or tank will look cute. And of course my fave mules for the fall.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKSeasonal

Looooove this look for pre-fall, especially bc you can take the bomber jacket off and essentially just be in a sleeveless tank. The shoes are the black version of my all time favorite loafers—yes, if I love it then I buy one in every color. 😀 And the GG bum bag/fanny pack has become my favorite “no hands” bag for fall.

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal

I’ve had my Staub pumpkin cocotte for probably 10 years and it looks just as beautiful today as the day I bought it. If you love Fall, then this is a wonderful investment piece that will stand the test of time. 🧡🍁

Loved this strapless metallic gown for a family wedding. Mine is sold out but linked similar!!

#LTKParties #LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush

Book Club Tour stop number 7 last week. Gray pants, midnight navy top, and short camel trench coat are old. (I keep my clothes forever!!) But I linked similar. Love these stacked heel mules from Sezane. The bag isn’t available in LTK so will link directly on my insta stories.

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKWorkwear #LTKStyleTip

The easiest pre-fall look that probably already exists in your closet. A simple white button up shirt, a pair wide-legged jean, and gorgeous leather mules. Easy-peasy. 👖🍁 SHIRT AND JEANS ARE MARKED DOWN!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

In love love love with this fragrance duo. Coffee Break by Replica is perfect for this season: warm and gourmand. And then no matter what fragrance I wear, I always layer it with Fig Extract from L’eau de Cassis. They aren’t on LTK so I can’t link, but if you head to my Instagram story LTK highlights, I’ll link directly to their website. #LTKfragrance #LTKautumn

#LTKSeasonal

This Michael Stars shirt skirt combo isn’t old but I can’t find it anywhere to link it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Linked a cute pink wrap dress for under $40 and an adorable MS blue tie dyed dress. Also my Pucci purse I’ve had for 20 years but linked a gorgeous one I love if you’re in the market for a Pucci.

#LTKOver40 #LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip

Dinner with my family. 💙 romper is old but I linked similar and it’s on sale!! Wearing the amazing fall shoes and a thrifted Laundry blazer. The Gucci bum bag is a favorite grab and go item from my closet that truly ours well with everything. Plus no hands = easy!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush #LTKSeasonal

Today’s look has three pieces from my Fall Edit—>watch the video and I’ll explain why these things are favorites!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal

Fall loading…still loading…still…loading...The jeans linked are exact except without the distressing—most comfy pair ever. Shoes are new and amazing! The most gorgeous brown leather. Love this outfit while fall loads.

When the temps just won’t “Fall” but you need a little “Fall,” make your own multi-surface cleaner with a pumpkin spice essential oil alá @annivanderbeek 🎃 I made these as party favors when the neighborhood girls came over for drinks and they were a hit!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHalloween

These are a few of my tried and true favorites, the majority of which I’ve had for several years. 🧡 It’s important to me to invest in pieces that will be enjoyed season after season.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

The absolute BEST berry lip for fall is a pigmented balm with a blurry effect. It’s buildable with a matte finish—no liner needed!

#LTKBeauty #LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal

Another fall day, another fall summer pot. 🧡 This clear one used daily at our house.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHalloween

#LTKBeauty #LTKFamily #LTKTravel

The absolute best pill case for packing medication when you travel! Each day has two compartments. 1 for AM and 1 for PM. THE BEST!

#LTKTravel #LTKBeauty #LTKMostLoved

My favorite way to save space in my toiletry bag is to use a clean contact lens case for foundation and primer.

#LTKMostLoved #LTKTravel #LTKBeauty

Sitting in Rousillon-de-Provence in the trip that inspired the book The France Dance! Striped mariniere and espadrilles for the win!I bought my basket purse in France, but i love this one from Sézane.
