I bought my @beis backpack a little over a year ago to replace my old North Face from law school. I didn’t want to spent money on a backpack because I only used mine every once in a while and it didn’t feel worth it.

I WAS WRONG.

This backpack makes travel so much easier! It holds a ton of stuff, opens all the way so it’s easy to pack, and has just enough organizational pockets built in to keep me from panicking about where I put my passport or whatever. Louis meowdels a bit of the pockets I’m talking about because he also loves the backpack 😹

I’m about to start my 4th month of @nutrafol and am already having great results. I have thin hair and figured I’d try it as a preventative measure, and it’s not only giving me new hair growth, but I think it’s helping clear up my skin, too. I originally got the “women’s balance” formula as a set from my dr but they came out with a formula for 18-44 year old women (pictured) that I’m switching to after I finish my third bottle.

Styling Tartan for a Date Night Out ✨ If you love tartan as much as I do, this one is for you! 🎉

For my next tartan styling installment, I’m sharing my go-to date night look, featuring a festive Nap Dress in blackwatch tartan. This dress is great for any dressier outings you have, and is so easy to layer with a cozy sweater and your favorite accessories. Personally, I styled it with my little gold sweetheart necklace, classic diamond hoop earrings, and topped it off with a simple hair bow. I tied the look together with my mules (I found a great affordable style that I’m linking with this look!!) and my Islander tartan crossbody purse, which I got on my honeymoon in Scotland — can never have too much tartan!

What do you think of this look?

Styling Tartan for the Gym ✨ If you love tartan as much as I do, this one is for you! 🎉

For my next tartan styling installment, I’m sharing an adorable green plaid gym set from @beyondyoga! This would be perfect for any kind of workout, whether you’re into yoga and pilates or CrossFit, like me.

Side note, who knew you could find cute tartan workout clothes?!

Anyway, the plaid comes in leggings and bike shorts, along with a cute and comfy sports bra. Wear them as a set or with your favorite black workout tank (I love the @lululemon one featured here). Toss a cute jacket over it for chilly days, grab your water bottle and Fitbit, and you’re good to go!
