| this is who i am now 🤪❤️ oversized graphic tees and biker shorts on repeat.

Aerie has a great collection of athletic biker shorts in a variety of colors … ribbed, scalloped, with pockets and so on. the last pair is a knit biker short from Flat White that i rented and opted to purchase with Nuuly.

shop Urban Outfitters or Daydreamer for cool oversized tees.

| thanksgiving week! 🦃🤷🏽‍♀️ how did that happen?!

since we host most holidays in our home, i really have a complicated relationship with the idea of dressing up to celebrate. i could just as easily stay in my pajamas as get myself decked to match the halls SO i often compromise with this go-to holiday style ➡️ a camisole and a cardigan.

in previous years, i kept the cami simple and opted for a fun textured cardigan. this year i am reversing the style … layering a fun, textured camisole (think sequins or velvet or ✨ BOTH) with a simple, comfy cardigan. pair with jeans and boots if you’re ambitious and leaving your home OR slip into a pair of joggers … 🙌🏼 like i plan to … and really enjoy your holiday meal!

head over to the @liketoknow.it app for more holiday style inspo and links. 😉 #liketkit http://liketk.it/31Uci

| just a mom. momming. in her #MomUniform.

i got to November with more success than expected for my ‘no spend until year end’ NYE resolution (a pause on purchasing clothing). BUT as the colder weather approaches and my lifestyle now singularly calls for ‘stay home’ style … i cheated and purchased a variety of new joggers. along with my new @bombas Gripper Slippers. for all the cozy! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/31BSq

| it is going to be a great Halloween! … we can feel it in our bones. skeleton puns. SO humerus. #skelefun

last night we dressed the part #squadghouls to begin our tour around town in judging and selecting a favorite for the #LBNY #BeyondTheBeach Halloween House / Balcony Decorating Contest. due to a glitch in the matrix, we only saw a few BUT are excited to continue our tour this weekend.

TONIGHT, Friday October 23, AT 5PM the virtual map will go live to the general public! our neighbors have worked unBOOlievably hard to create this local haunt SO check it out and head over to Facebook to vote and let them know how SPOOktacular their displays are!

| #AdventuresAhead // i LOVE the sentiment of the reusable tumbler i purchased with @fabfitfun (especially as we continue to embark on the unknown remote learning journey) BUT i strongly dislike the feeling of a steel straw against my teeth. SO it was a fortuitous coincidence that i also received these @kleankanteen reusable metal straws WITH silicone tips with my @mightyfix subscription! also available on Amazon and Target. @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2WHkU

Is your child in virtual school / remote learning? If they’re wearing headphones but you want to listen in - I recommend these! These headphones can connect to one another or to any pair of headphones with an old school jack!

Headphones keep the boys from distracting one another while in the same room and these let me listen in to either OR BOTH 🤪. @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2WEpm

| here is a look at ALL the beauty products i didn’t use last week while ‘masked in manhattan’ visiting Dave at the hospital. i may not be a beauty expert but i have curated a combination of high end and drugstore #beautyproducts that i love … and consider this capture my routine cheat sheet! i linked what i could on @ @liketoknow.it app 😘 #liketkit

skincare // i am a @rodanandfields REDEFINE lady … but love the lightweight tinted moisturizer even more, Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid with SPF 30.

conceal. highlight. contour // shout out to 2 fellow #LongIslandNY moms for sharing great, simple to use products: @itschristinehernandez @beautycounter Touchup Skin Concealer Pen and @mrs.fancynancy @avoninsider True Color Transforming Contour Stick. and because i am not big on shimmer, i have always been a big fan of @benefitcosmetics HOOLA Matte Bronzer!

lips // while @maccosmetics Velvet Teddy had been my go-to, i am now next level obsessed with @buxomcosmetics PlumpLine Lip Liners!

eyes // i have been using the @eyeko Black Magic Liquid Eyeliner my cousin gifted me! and am SO glad @fabfitfun introduced me to @beautybakeriemakeup eyeshadow. i don’t often wear eyeshadow BUT these make it worth it! i don’t think i have ever encountered eyeshadow pigments with so much punch and stay power.

mascara // thank you @kimberlymarie425 for introducing me to @thrivecausemetics Liquid Lash Eyelash Extensions. allergies. cry. sweat. this is THE PERFECT no mess, everyday mascara.

and i also have the @thrivecausemetics Brilliant Eye Brightener that i received in my @influenster ‘Best in Beauty’ box in 2018 … alongside @beccacosmetics Pressed Highlighter and @lauramercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. in an older post on the blog @lgartistry reviewed and walked me through how to use these products! http://liketk.it/2Wb8R

| let’s talk date nights. how they happen? when they happen? where they happen?

how // planned or spontaneous? are your date nights etched in stone, penciled into the calendar, or enjoyed on a whim?!

when // weeknights or weekends? day dates or overnights? do you carve out couple time once a week, once a month, or once in a blue?!

where // local restaurant or new adventure? have you had a date night IN?!

as i brace myself for what is sure to be a busy fall, i don’t want us to forget to take advantage of what i consider the most romantic season! this might mean converting our impromptu date nights to a romantic routine. and i am genuine curious what works for YOU, especially those of you with little ones at home.

the look // because our date nights tend to be spontaneous, it is helpful to have a date night outfit on deck. would you believe me if i told you i got ready in under a half hour?! love this whimsical @urbanoutfitters annabelle tiered ruffle maxi dress. NOW under $100. linked in bio. @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2URBK
