HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
This morning, I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle and sharing a new fall favorite along with some coziness too 🙂 . Plus, I have a little house update and new Halloween tradition. It’s a fun-filled fall Friday, and as always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika .
When Nordstrom asked me to talk all things fall, I got really excited because I’ve secretly been putting this on and wearing it around my house…
…how adorable is this hat?!?!
I am in love. IN LOVE. (I’m also in love with these Sorel boots and sweater too!) I cannot wait until next week when the colder weather comes back so that I can wear it all again!!!
Here I am in store after I bought it. I didn’t wear it around that day, but I wanted Sheaffer to see a pic because she knows my head is pretty big and that I have a hard time finding cute hats…but this one comes in MULTIPLE SIZES!! When I realized this one had xsmall, small, medium, large and xlarge, I was PUMPED!!! I bought it in the light tan color, but it comes in several others. My size is a “medium”. Now, I just need the temps to drop so I can wear it all the time 🙂 . I wanted to also mention, that Apple band is also a Nordstrom find! It fit my 5 and also currently fits my 6 (online, it doesn’t mention those watches, but it does fit them!). Also, let’s chat about the shoes I have on in this pic…
…they’re currently 50% off! Some sizes are already gone, but there are still some available.
Speaking of sales, these pieces are also on sale right now at Nordstrom too…
…like my Madewell tee…
…my skinny jeans (love these!!)…
…and my faux leather jacket (I’ve worn this several times and love it!!! I suggest sizing up!).
Guess what we did?!
On Wednesday night, Andrew took Ashby for a father/daughter outing which left me home with the other three kiddos, so we…
…had a SPOOKY version of JAMMY COCOA CHRISTMAS!
What? What?
Yes.
I am going to blame the quarantine, but a few days ago, I realized my neighbors had DECORATED BIG TIME FOR HALLOWEEN. I’m not talking fake spiderwebs in the yard, I’m talking about giant inflatables, lights on houses and in trees…FULL ON HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS. It must be the extra time at home, right? Or the need for people to do something fun/special/amazing in 2020? Whatever it is, we took advantage of it. We got hot drinks, turned on Pandora’s Halloween Party Radio and drove around looking at spooky decorations. It was so much fun 🙂 .
This picture leads me to my next favorite…but before we go, let me remind you that I’m wearing the blardigan here that I bought during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale and it honest to goodness is the best one I’ve ever purchased. It’s lighter, yet still warm. The pockets are deep, it’s long but not too long and it washes and dries to perfection. It would make an excellent holiday gift as would…
…my robe. I have told you guys about this robe for YEARS, I literally wear it every single day. It would make an excellent holiday gift…along with my Ugg slippers and these pajamas too!
How fun are these pajama prints?!
It wouldn’t be a cozy fall post with Nordstrom if I didn’t share these pieces because they keep me super cozy every single day. Speaking of which, I found the perfect weekend uniform…
…a festive tee with super comfy joggers 🙂 .
I always love shopping at Nordstrom because not only do they have everything my family needs from beauty to shoes to home, clothes, bath and more, but they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns and curbside pick up…which in 2020 is invaluable.
We’ve had some progress on the house this week! They’re almost done with my closet, and then, they’ll finish up my bathroom and get started on my bedroom. Upstairs is moving much slower…but that’s okay. I’m just excited to get my room back 🙂 .
Same closet, new paint color 🙂 .
We are putting everything back in the closet pretty much like it was originally. The only differences are that we’ve painted it all white now (instead of cream). We went with Sherwin Williams Greek Villa (as pictured) and love it! That’s going to be the color in our bathroom too. The floors are going to be stained the exact same as before and the cabinet configurations didn’t change. We had to get a new light fixture and rugs though as they didn’t make it through the flood. My bigger rugs were able to be cleaned and salvaged from the water but those little ones in here were just too thin and didn’t survive the loss. I’m anxious to put all of my things back in there and get them out of Kensington’s room. She’s anxious too 😉 .
And finally…
…today, I’m sharing my annual Wickedly Delicious Halloween Menu!! I have everything you need from cocktails to supper to create the perfect Halloween night supper!
It’s a spooktacular lineup of recipes 🙂 .
Happy Friday, friends!! I hope you all have the BEST weekend!!! xo
Allie says
I think the picture of the booties has two different booties…? Just a heads up
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh geez…let me look! Does it?!
Sheaffer Sims says
I wish I was a hat girl, but I always think I look stupid in hats. But you are REALLY CUTE in that hat!
Lauren says
I feel the same way! I have a extra small head so I never look good in hats, even baseball hats. 🙁
Leslie S says
Yeah I’m just out on the “blogger hat” trend. Love Shay and love her fun style on everything else tho!
Mary says
So cute! What eyeshadow are you wearing in the first picture?
Mix and Match Mama says
From the new Too Faced Natural palette at Sephora!
Elspeth says
What a fun Halloween tradition! So fun and creative! Have the best weekend!

The hat looks so good on you! I also have a hat as one of my Friday favorites!!!

I love Friday Faves! You’ve probably linked it before, but what is the bracelet you wear with your Apple watch??
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s a great Nordstrom find too!! Linking it right now, Kayla!!
Becky B says
You are adorable in that hat!!
Julie says
You are stunning in everything!!! So happy progress is coming along and you are closer to being comfy again.
Laci says
I need that hat!!
Danna F says
The hat looks so good on you! You will find so many reasons to wear it…cause you don’t have to fix your hair! Hats are one of my favorite accessories.
Loved the idea of Jammy Cocoa Halloween! Have a great weekend Shay!
Dana says
1. You look so cute in that hat!
2. I’m starting advent early this year, too! A friend gave me a Jesse tree ornament box and I decided to just do it in November so we can already be in that frame of mind for December! I’m pretty excited about it. ?
3. How cute is your hot chocolate idea?! I’m just not that creative but I love all those ideas you guys come up with! I’m going to try to start pinning more things like that and then actually do them. ?
Susy says
Just a note that fructose found in corn syrup and so many other sources (e.g. some crackers) and hidden in many foods is an allergy source with terrible effects for many, just as with gluten. While many tolerate it, I pray the same energy would be put into labeling and providing substitutes for fructose as for gluten in the future. It gets so little attention with horrible effects for so many.
Niki says
Happy Friday!!! I’ve made all of our dinner items from your recipes this week and they were crowd pleasers! (which is hard to come by in a family of 6 lol!!)
What jeans are you wearing with the madewell tee?? Thanks
PS – I’m also almost finished with the book Night Road thanks to your recommendation from awhile back and I’m loving it!
Mix and Match Mama says
That book will stick with you forever!!! And those are oldies but goodies from J Crew!
Kelly says
Jammy Cocoa Halloween is the perfect 2020 antidote!:). Loving joggers lately too!
Tish says
Love the house updates too! What color did you decide on for your common areas? Living room, kitchen, etc? We are remodeling and I need all the paint help! 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s SW Moderate White!! 🙂
Andrea Clark says
You have never let me down with anything you’ve recommended on your blog, but I am particularly obsessed with the robe! It’s SO cozy and perfect! I am on vacation right now and wishing I had taken it with me!
Carly says
You look SO GOOD in HATS!!! Very jealous, I just don’t think my head is meant for anything other than a baseball-cap on a dirty hair day. Also, love the new Halloween tradition. I’ve been loving how much people are investing in their homes. Also, we’ve been listening to a lot of the different Disney Parks Holiday playlists on Spotify! Helping get into the spirit!
Joanne says
That sounds so fun to drive around looking at Halloween decor. I don’t think we have much in the way of decorations around us though.
Nicole says
So cute!!! Love your blog! Do you have a link for your tank in the 3rd pic?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! It’s here: https://mixandmatchmama.com/amazon-faves/
Cris says
I’m curious about whether having to take everything out of your closet will result in any kind of a purge? If so, it might make for an interesting post…
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!! A big purge. I typically go through and donate once a month, but I did it when we moved everything out and then will do it once more before it goes back in.
Mary C says
I have a large head and struggle finding hats that fit me too. I found a great brand on Amazon that I have had luck with. The brand is called Furtalk. I have a straw hat and wool fedora style and there are sizing options for all of them 🙂
Julie says
Hi Shay! Could you do a post on how you organize your closet? Do you fold your sweaters or hang them up?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! I fold them, but yes, maybe when I get back in there!
Kandi Barber says
These Halloween recipes are awesome!! Thank you!
Amy says
I’ve had my eye on those peep toe booties and I think it’s time to pull the trigger. Are they comfortable? True to size?
Mix and Match Mama says
YES and YES!!!!
Kathleen Cather says
Does the open toe bootie cut into your big toes? I seem to have that problem when walking.
Mix and Match Mama says
No! I buy a new pair of Vince Camuto booties every year and they’re always THE COMFIEST!!
Bethany says
Love this post!! Have a Fabulous birthday weekend!!!
Blair Dargan says
My name is Blair Dargan, so every time you mention the blardigan it makes me laugh because it sounds like a username or something I’d come up with for my name. Still don’t own one, but thinking I might need to splurge and get one for myself. Hope you have a great weekend!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh, Blair! I just LOL! That’s too funny and too cute!!!
Lisa M says
Last week, I saw a pic of you in the robe and sent the link to my mother in law(who is the best) for a Christmas present!! Can’t wait to get it!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!! Merry Christmas!
Bev says
That hat looks amazing on you! Seriously, you should wear it every day!!! ?

That hat is seriously adorable and looks great on you! I wouldn’t take it off either! hahaha

I am definitely not a hat girl (wish I was) but I’m loving that lip shade in the first picture. What is it? Thanks!
Marsha Phillips says
What size did you order in the French Connection Mozart Popcorn Sweater? So cute!
