Happy Friday, friends!
It’s another HUGE Friday over here! First up, I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle and sharing some great fall faves…plus…it’s the first day of our kids first ever FALL BREAK. I haven’t decided yet what I think about a fall break (we had to start school a few days early for it), but this year, we have one, so we’re making the most of it annnnnnnnd the Shull family has left home.
Yup.
Someone hand me a strong cup of coffee because for the third time in three weeks, I am waking up somewhere besides my house. #tiredbutohsohappy
Make sure you keep up with us today and this weekend on IG/FB as we enjoy our fall break 🙂 .
Did I wear something on the plane last night from my favorite retailer Nordstrom? Of course! They’re always been my go-to for my fall finds! As you know, I always love shopping there 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 (all so handy for the busy traveling lady!). You can catch all of their services (including alterations, gift wrapping, style help and more HERE!).
Just like most Fridays, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you all a VERY HAPPY FRIDAY!
I’ll see you Monday! xx
First up, speaking of traveling, last week when we were in Munich and London, from beginning to end, Nordstrom had me covered.
Heading to the airport in THE BEST LEGGINGS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. Over the last five years of so, I’ve purchased three pairs. Did I buy all three pairs because the previous pair wore out? Showed distressing? Stretched? Faded? Nope. I still wear my original pair all the time. I had to purchase extra pairs because I literally could not stand not wearing them when I was in between wash cycles. I pretty much start wearing them this time of year, and then wear them every.single.day by December 1st. They’re the perfect flight legging!!
We had a full day of site-seeing in Munich in the cold and drizzly weather, so I needed the perfect sweater! You guys… My sweater is only $12.99.
Did you read that?!
My sweater is only $12.99 and comes in multiple colors!!! It’s so soft (absolutely zero itch!) and pretty perfect. Online it says to size up, but I bought mine TTS (xs) and liked how it was a little over-sized. It paired perfectly with my booties which were SO COMFORTABLE that I wore them site-seeing on multiple days!! They come in black too!
***UPDATE you guys, the sweater already sold out! Agh! I did find this one here that is only $14 from the same brand!***
Fast forward to London…
…and for dinner one night, I wore this really beautiful black pleated dress…
…with my platform black booties 🙂 . These were so comfortable too!! I bought them in black leather, but they also come in black suede too.
Now, check out THESE….
…oh how cute!!!! My faux-leather paperbag waist crop pants WERE ADORABLE! They’re so comfy too!! They were perfect for our first dinner in London! Bonus, THEY COME IN OTHER COLORS TOO!! I bought black, but now, after wearing them, I’m seriously contemplating one of the other colors too! They also come in white, brown and oxblood. Geez, I really love them! Love them!!! You can find my bodysuit HERE too!
You’ve seen me wear these sandals now multiple times. They also come in other colors, but the gold just speaks to me 🙂 .
I didn’t get this in time for our trip…
…but I love this sweater dress so much (especially with my booties!!) that it may be in my suitcase today 🙂 .
How cute are those sleeves?! It comes in a neutral color too, but this color just screams FALL to me.
Have you seen it? Have you seen it?!
On Wednesday night, we had Hocus Pocus night at our house!!
As you know, my family is OBSESSED with the original version and watch it on repeat from Labor Day until Halloween, so we were soooooo excited to finally have a night off to sit down together and watch the new one. WE LOVED IT!!!!! It was just as fun, adorable, and perfect as the first one. I so clearly remember watching the original when I was my kids’ age and now, it just blesses me so to watch both with them. If you need a weekend movie (no matter your age!), watch both!
Speaking of Hocus Pocus…
…in the blur that has been my month, I feel like I might have skipped over my DISNEY WORLD RECAP with KENSINGTON a bit too fast.
…if you missed our spooktacular vacation recap, make sure you read it HERE!
I don’t know that I properly did my bag justice on this trip, but for anyone who didn’t hear me shout from the rooftops, I LOVED THIS BELT BAG. It was perfection on this trip.
A few more festive finds for our Friday…
Mades has been extra adorable in this tunic and these leggings!
The windows have flaps!! So cute!!
And then Miss Ashby has been wearing her new sneakers to school every day! They have fun zippers on the side so she doesn’t have to tie them (something that’s challenging for her).
Geez, I love her so much!
They come in several other colors, but Ashby loves the gold and black because they “look like mama’s” 🙂 .
And my cozy pullover just because it’s so soft and amazing. It comes in other colors as well.
JEANS//JACKET//PLATFORM SANDALS//BOOTIES//BLACKTEE//HAT//PEEP TOE BOOTIES//SKIRT//POLKA DOT BLOUSE
Fall, fall, fall clothes are my FAVORITE!!!!
Put on something cozy and…
…come on inside my house 🙂 . If you missed my annual FALL HOME TOUR make sure you go back and catch that along with…
…our steps for keeping our PUMPKINS GOURD-GEOUS 🙂 .
Finally, last but certainly not least, I’m sharing my PUMPKIN CRANBERRY MUFFINS today!
Want a delicious and easy fall muffin recipe (that can be made gf too!)? Check out my recipe HERE. This is sure to be a hit with your family this weekend (and make your house smell delicious too!)
That’s it for this Friday! I’m off to enjoy Fall Break with my family!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I’ll see you Monday! xx

I love Ashby’s zipper shoes! I work as a pediatric PT and recommend shoes with zippers often for a variety of reasons, but thought I would share the two I recommend the most if you are on the look out for more. Billy shoes (most are high tops: https://billyfootwear.com/collections/all-shoes

Beth Knecht says
Love me a fall break!
We just had ours at my school and gosh it was so nice to be home with my toddler for a few days to soak up extra with him!
Erika Slaughter says
Your black dress was super cute and THOSE VIEWS!!
Kathy says
You look stunning in those all black outfits!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you! I am really into black these days 🙂 .
Callie says
I have been looking at Kizik shoes and I bet they’d be perfect for Ashby!
Kelsey says
Kizik shoes are amazing! I have a pair and wear them all the time. They would be perfect for Ashby!!!
Cathy says
Did I miss something? No September Book Review??
Mix and Match Mama says
I mentioned it last Wednesday, but this time, I’m going to combine them. I’m sorry! I promise after October (when I combine them), I will not do it again!
Christi McAnally says
Today is the last day of our first fall break. I’ve decided I’m not a fan. When your kids are involved in fall activities like football, band, cheer, etc those kids don’t get a true fall break. They still have daily practices and games that week making it nearly impossible to plan a fall getaway. Fall break is for those with elementary and middle school students so enjoy it while you can. I personally would rather have the extra days of summer.
Mix and Match Mama says
I would 100% agree with you! I’m (obviously!) making the most of ours this year, but I like having a school routine and a summer routine. Other added days, throw things off.
Lyssa says
I’m ordering pizza and watching Hocus Pocus 2 tonight, I’ve been looking forward to it all week 🙂
Gwen says
What about the bag sitting on the suitcase in #1? I love it!
Mix and Match Mama says
She’ pretty, isn’t she?! I love her too!
Dawn says
Have a great trip! What flip flops are you wearing with the tan Zella sweatshirt? So cute!
Mix and Match Mama says
J Crew from last year
Paula R. says
Shay… Enjoy your fall break! You look gorgeous in All those outfits. Black suits you. Such a fun, fall post!
And… you found all the Sanderson sisters inflatables. They are even more adorable than the box shows. I know you are enjoying your decorated yard.
Have a great week off!
Jenny N says
I love the black dress and black faux leather paper bag waist pants! I also love that you travel with SEVERAL pairs of shoes when you take trips. I am the same way and my husband always says I need to pair it down because we can’t fit them all in the suitcase. To which I say, well then get another suitcase because I NEED all these shoes!
Mix and Match Mama says
Amen, sister!!!
Maria says
How do you manage to travel so much during the school year with 2 middle and 2 elementary schoolers and all that goes on with kids and school and their activities. More so during the times when both you and your husband are traveling together. Do the grandparents help or do you have trusted nannies for such times? I have 2 school aged kids and am curious to know how you make this happen?
Mix and Match Mama says
Our amazing parents step in and help! This time, Andrew’s parents watched them during the school week and my parents had them over the weekend. The grandparents are total rockstars!
Kadie says
Did I miss your September Book Review post???!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m so sorry! I posted last week, but I’m going to combine my Sept and Oct reviews this time. I promise, I won’t do it again!
Brown says
Love the leather pants! What size are you wearing? Trying to figure out what I would be!
Mix and Match Mama says
They run larger. If you’re in between, size down. I’m wearing xs!
Brown says
Thank you! I ordered the XS – we’ll see how it goes! I hope I can look as half as gorgeous as you.
Nancy says
I work in our local school district and it’s back to work Aug. 1 to be ready for classes to start around the 8th or 9th. Every year I grumble about starting so freakin’ early but I’ve become accustomed to our week off in mid-October so I keep voting for the same school calendar each year! 😄 Enjoy your Fall Break!
Mix and Match Mama says
I really can’t believe it took us this long to get a fall break (I hear of so many other schools having one!). I’m going to enjoy it if we get it!!
Sheaffer says
That pleated black dress is STUNNING!!!!!! You look gorgeous!
Happyprom says
Friday, I love friday, bc it will be saturday, a leisure day, no work, no studying, I can sleep, watching movie, drink coffee, making dinner, etc.
With some big discount, it will be a better day.
Hana says
That black skirt suits you so much!!! I love it. You look so elegant.
Laci Murray says
We start school the first week of August but we LOVE having a Fall Break! Hope you guys did too!
