Happy happy Friday, friends!
I know I say this all the time, but guys, is there anything better than an October weekend?! I am just SO looking forward to ours. Tonight, we are hosting Madeley’s 9th birthday (deets to come), tomorrow, Smith has an orchestra thing, we have a few games and then after that, we’re just going to enjoy the weather and soak in “all the fall”.
I don’t know exactly what happened, but this week, I have a pretty EPIC batch of favorite things. I always keep a list on my phone and this week’s kept growing and growing and growing. Speaking of which, tomorrow’s bonus Saturday post will be extra fun, so make sure you stop by!
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a wonderful weekend!
You guys, look no further, I found our perfect pair of fall/winter pants…
…I walked by Anthropologie, saw them on the mannequin in the window, and it was like a magnet drawing me inside the store. I NEVER try on clothes in stores (never ever!), but I took THIS BLACK PAIR OF FLARE POCKET CORDUROY JEANS off the rack and right into it. They fit so well and were SO CUTE!
But look…
…they come in FOUR OTHER COLORS TOO!! How cute, right?!
BONUS, BONUS: THESE PANTS come in petite, regular, tall and plus sizes too. For a reference, I bought them in a 26 regular.
Here is a side pic so you can see the rise (they refer to it as ‘low’ but I don’t feel that way about them) and length.
The pockets and corduroy material are just too cute for words!
I will be wearing these (especially out to dinner!) all fall and winter long.
Now, speaking of these pics.
You guys, do you see my hair?!
I’ve made some changes this year with my hair routine including…
…Nutrafol 🙂 .
I’ve mentioned this to you several times over the last six months, but you guys…this little supplement has been a game-changer for me. My hair is healthier, I’m shedding less, my nails and skin are all seeing positive benefits. I am a super fan now. SUPER. FAN.
Just a reminder that right now, my blog readers can get $50 off their first three month supply of Nutrafol or $106 off a six month supply.
A full hair post to come, but for today at least, please know that Nutrafol might be my favorite Fave of the entire year.
If you’re like me and enjoy any and all things COZY…
…you might need to grab THIS BOOK too. It’s not only a gorgeous book to flip through, but it’s inspiring too! I walked away with so many great ideas to add even more “cozy” to my life.
I shared Vuori’s new outerwear last week and bought myself…
…this SUPER CUTE JACKET!
This jacket also comes in black, but the green was speaking my name.
I also bought…
…this INSULATED JACKET too. Listen, I don’t mind dressing for the ski slopes, just don’t make me go down one. This jacket also comes in a beautiful “bluff” too.
I know, I know, I know, my Uggs are SO UGLY that they’re cute (at least, that’s what I keep telling Smith). They arrived this week, and I’ve already worn them out twice. My feet are SO HAPPY in them!
Are they super ugly? Yes. Are they also super cute and fun? Yes! Are my toes happy in them? Yes, yes!!
Awwww you guys…
…after years and years of taking my girls to the McKinney Boyd High School Mini Cheer Clinic each fall, this time, I took them but also had a REAL cheerleader there. This was such a sweet full circle moment for Erika and me. How cute are our actual cheerleaders with our mini ones?!
Just so we’re all on the same page…
…this was just yesterday.
And now, someone come hold me.
I was running out the door yesterday and realized I should stop and snap a pic of my sweater…
…the guest room door mirror quality was “eh”, so I tried again yesterday afternoon after I returned home…
…such a cute cardigan, right? It comes in many colors but you guys know this dark green color is my jam. I’m wearing it with my new favorite jeans too 🙂 .
Um…
…so this was a must. It’s on sale right now too!
Speaking of festive…
…it’s my annual BOO-ZY COCKTAILS AND FAMILY BEVERAGES FOR HALLOWEEN!
I have adult drinks, kid beverages and snacks to pair with each just in time for your spook-tacular weekend!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Come back TOMORROW for a fun twist on my bonus Saturday blog post.
See you then, friends! xx

In picture number six, I love the jeans and have been wanting to breaking out of my skinny jeans as I’m starting to realize wow these aren’t exactly in style anymore are they, my question is what shoes do you wear with these jeans? I’m from the generation these would’ve been called floods and I don’t know how to style them!
Mix and Match Mama says
I still love and wear skinny jeans and would say, that when I was in London last week, it’s all they were wearing. I think you wear what makes you feel like you. I wear my classic skinnys a lot, but lately, I’ve added a few more trendier pieces just for fun. I wear the jeans in Fave #6 with both booties and sneakers. You do you though. I think we should all “do us” and feel great about it.
Kay says
Such fun favorites today! Today is my birthday, and I decided this morning to put extra focus on all I am grateful for! One of these things is your blog! I have been reading for many years now, and it’s become one of my most treasured parts of my morning routine! I originally read your blog as I was super impressed/interested in your adoption journey. And then more and more goodness kept coming…the books, fun fashion finds, and amazing tips on making life fun for my three kids and husband! I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate having your blog to get me through good times and bad. Enjoy the weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
Well, Kay, your birthday comment here makes me want to cry! Goodness, you have blessed ME this morning more than you know. I am forever grateful for this community. You have all shaped and changed my life. This will go down as one of the most significant relationships I ever have. Thank you. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful birthday! xx

How does the sweater size run? Whar suze are you wearing?
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought the cardigan in xs!
Elizabeth Lind says
When you’re in the thick of it with a difficult baby or toddler, life seems so slow but it goes way, way too fast. Hug those babies!!
Arika says
FYI, that same Swig mug is even cheaper if you order directly on their website. All Halloween is 50% off this weekend, making that one $21. They’ve got some other really fun ones too. I have a Swig purchasing problem – I have waaaay too many, but they are hard to resist!
K.K. says
Liking all your favorites!! That cozy book was already in my cart online. Maybe this is a sign! 🙂
Bri says
Oh my gosh, the girls now in highschool as cheerleaders! It goes so fast!!
Amy says
I know this doesn’t have anything to do with this post but I was wondering if Kensington keeps a calendar like you do? I have one out of college and one in college, neighter of them like to keep a calendar. the problem is…they constantly call or text me wanting to know when things are. I tried to get them to use one in high school and they wouldn’t! I am such a calendar girl like you (colored pens and all) that I can’t believe they won’t try it.
Mix and Match Mama says
She does not. I always makes an attempt and *tries*, but we’re only 10 weeks into the school year, and I’m really not sure how she always knows what to do/where to be because it’s certainly not her empty planner telling her.
Anne says
Those corduroy pants are very flattering on you!
Jennifer Russell says
Those pants!!!! 😍😍😍 I hustled right over to buy a pair and… 😩
Hoping for a restock!!! SO CUTE and I love that they have lengths!!!!
Sheaffer says
Loving the cords!!! And that pic of K and EL. Oh my heart!
