We are kicking off the first FRIDAY FAVES of 2024 with a BANG as I partner with Nordstrom and share some great winter finds including our favorite brand ON SALE. Plus, I have a winter workout for you, a winter playlist, some pics from Nantucket and more!
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a wonderful weekend! xx
If you’re heading into this year looking to make some changes and one of those includes being active more often (yet staying comfy and cute!), you’re in for a treat.
You guys always ask, and today, I’m excited to share, but right now, Nordstrom has so many VUORI PIECES ON SALE!!!
You can see all of the WOMENS VUORI ITEMS ON SALE and all of the MENS VUORI ITEMS ON SALE in these two spots. There are SO MANY items on sale in various colors and sizes, but let me just hit some highlights for you from our own closet…
My #1 favorite pair of athletic shorts EVER are their CLEMENTINE SHORTS. I really probably have bought them in 10 different colors. They’re my absolute favorite!
HALO PERFORMANCE SHORTS (far left) and ENERGY TANK (I’m legit wearing this tank as I type today!)
You can find some sizes/colors in their SHERPA ON SALE right now!
Both THE SKIRT and THE TANK are on sale!
I could keep going and going, but I’ll let you look. If you’ve ever wanted to try Vuori on sale, Nordstrom has you covered right now!
You can see all of the WOMENS VUORI ITEMS ON SALE and all of the MENS VUORI ITEMS ON SALE and perhaps you’ll feel an extra pep in your step as you get active this new year!
If your cozy winter mornings need a little background music, I have been LOVING this Spotify station…
…it’s the perfect way to begin my cozy, dark winter days.
You guys, this week, I thought my #OOTD was very much on point…
HALF ZIP PULLOVER + COMFY LEGGINGS + THE CUTEST SNEAKERS!
How cute are my NIKES?! They are in my very favorite color (although they come in other colors too!). I bought mine TTS (size 8), and they just made me oh so happy!
So cute. Look how cute they are…
…paired with MY JEANS too!
Speaking of cute, I’ve had a lot of questions lately about…
…my tried and true Ray-Bans 🙂 . I have always been a Ray-Ban girl! I almost always wear THIS STYLE RIGHT HERE…
…and I love them in every color 🙂 . You can see THIS PAIR too!
One more cute thing to zap those winter blues…
…I loved the color of THIS ZELLA TOP. It comes in several color options but this bright pink made me think of February. You can wear it long (tunic style) or knot it in the back.
If your winter skin needs a little boost as you’re putting on your morning SPF (and we should still use SPF even in the winter!), you know I love…
…SUPERGOOP GLOW SCREEN and use it as my “primer” every day (and have for yearssss!). Now, it comes in different shades, so it’s even easier to wear under your makeup for that bit of glow on your perhaps lackluster winter skin.
I am wearing mine in SUNRISE, but there are other options too. For me, every day after I moisturize, I add this before my foundation. Easy as that!
We have been trying to watch “winter” movies at night with the kids. It’s hard because when I search online, I always see lists that include Christmas movies, but we don’t want holiday films, we want “wintery” ones. Here are a few that we’ve been watching, but I welcome ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS please!!!
The Cutting Edge which was my VERY FAVORITE MOVIE when I was Kensington’s age 🙂 .
My parents call Grumpy Old Men a “Christmas movie”, but I think it’s a “winter movie”, and we’ve been enjoying it!
Always a classic 🙂 .
And then, this one is not for my kids, but I have been watching it on repeat. You all know that this movie is my VERY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME…
…I love this movie, and it’s very “winter”. I have been watching this one and…
…the sequel on repeat this week.
If you have any other “winter” recs for both me or my family, please share in the comment section!
Speaking of winter…
It looks like “winter weather” is heading our way this weekend, so if you are going to be stuck inside but want a workout you can do from home, Andrew wrote one up for us!
I did this workout today, and it was really easy to do with very little space. I used my 15 and 20 pound dumbbells, but of course, use what works best for you/what you have. Several of these moves don’t even require any equipment.
If you don’t know what the exercise is, you can find examples of each on Pinterest or YouTube too.
Here you go for a quick workout:
Warm up with 20 Burpees
Next up, run through this entire set:
1: REVERSE LUNGES
3X15
2: PUSHUPS (‘NORMAL’ OR ON KNEES)
3X15 OR IF YOU CAN, TO FAILURE
3: BICEP CURLS
3X12
4: TRICEP KICKBACK WITH A KICK
3X12
5: REAR LEG RAISE
3X20 EACH LEG
6: LATERAL RAISE
3X12
7: FRONT RAISE 3X12
8: WIDE BODY WEIGHT SQUAT
3X20
9: ONE MINUTE PLANK
When I went through this workout this morning, it took me about 30 minutes. Nothing fancy, just a little something if you’re stuck inside this weekend too!
Thank you, Andrew 🙂
Speaking of which…
…he’s been on Nantucket a few days this week 🙂 .
I’m super jealous and also afraid he’s not going to come home…
…he’s scheduled to be back today, but you know, this is hard to leave 🙂 .
Finally, it woudn’t be January without some…
…make sure you check out my 35 CRAZY GOOD BREAKFAAST CASSEROLES for your chilly winter weekend!
That wraps up this Friday! A huge thank you to Nordstrom today for always being my go-to for everything from clothes, to beauty, shoes, tops, dresses, literally all the things I need heading into the new year! As you know, I always love shopping there because not only do they have everything my family needs, but they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns, and curbside pick up (all so handy for the busy lady!). You can catch all of their services (including alterations, gift wrapping, style help and more HERE!).
Have a wonderful weekend, friends! I will see you back here Monday morning! xx
Erika Slaughter says
Happy Friday! We just watched Mighty Ducks last night. Always a classic but just for the record, Mighty Ducks 2 is my fave.
Jess says
Do you happen to have a link to your North Face jacket? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t. That one isn’t current. I did buy it at Nordstrom, but a few years ago.
Elspeth says
Stay warm this weekend! Happy Friday!

Hi Shay!
Hoping to try that workout today. I’ll have to Google the moves haha next time please add pictures of videos for us rookies following your new path! Xoxo
Meredith says
Family winter movie – Cool Runnings!
SS says
Shay,
We are under a winter storm warning….10-14 inches of snow and 50 mph winds. Schools are all closed today since the storm will be moving today.
Movies- you picked some of my favorite ones. I thought of New In Town set in Minnesota. Cool Runnings, Eddie the Eagle, Ice Princess, Snow Day, Snow Dogs. I know kind of Christmas-y. Jack Frost and The Nutcracker and the four realms.
Can’t wait to see the lists!!
Have a great weekend we will tucked in with our fuzzy socks on and hot chocolate!!! Stay safe!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you, thank you, thank you, friend!!!
SS says
Ooh…Call of the Wild…
Kathy says
New in Town is so cute and one of my favourite movies!
Amy Heinl says
Winter movies you might enjoy….Last Christmas ( more Winter because it goes way beyond Christmas Day), Cool Runnings, Ice Princess, Snow Day, Happy Feet, The Other Side of the Mountain (1 and w and is a true story), Ground Hog Day, and I can’t think of the name but there is on about the 1980 US Hockey team winning US First Gold Medal in Hockey
Mix and Match Mama says
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! This is a great list!! We’re supposed to be home all weekend, so this is VERY helpful!!!
SS says
Amy Miracle is the name of the movie… good one
Tami from SD says
You need to watch New In Town with Renae Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr, cute and very charming. And very wintery. Eight Below and Snow Dogs are both good ones too. Now you have excited to watch some of these.
Mix and Match Mama says
Another great rec!! I haven’t seen that movie in a while. Thank YOU!!!! K would like that one too!
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
I love the Supergoop sunscreen! I listened to her episode on How I Built This and it was so interesting. We’re also supposed to get winter weather in north AL Monday and Tuesday–hopefully not too bad!!
MeetTheShaneyfelts
Natalie says
We are south AL and just got hit with a bad tornado on Tuesday ;( our horses were ok but our barn completely flattened. Supposed to be bad again today Egh. Y’all stay safe !!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I cannot imagine how scary that is and how devastating for you and your community. I am so sorry.
Caroline says
The only winter movie I can think of is “Cool Runnings” (at least part of it’s snowy 😉
Lyndsey says
I still haven’t tried any Vuori pieces, but this post is twisting my arm a bit! A sale is always a great time to try a new brand. Love the workout too, it’s always nice just being told what to do instead of thinking of one myself 😉 thanks, Andrew!
Allie Metzler says
Cool Runnings is always a favorite “winter-ish” movie!
Mix and Match Mama says
GREAT REC!!!! My kids haven’t seen that one! Thank YOU!
Karie L DeFrees says
What phone holder are you using? (pop socket)
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s this one: https://shopstyle.it/l/b6Ndm
I bought the light pink one.
Laura says
A really good family movie is Snowball Express!! I watched it growing up and I think your family would love it as well!
Tasha says
Thanks for sharing Shay! Just curious, what is Andrew doing on Nantucket?
Mix and Match Mama says
Just checking on things. We’re going to make it a habit to visit as much as we can to check in/maintain/etc. So far, we’ve been there at least one day every month since April!
Elizabeth H Valenta says
Winter movies: Snow Day, Celtic Pride and Blue Chips (basketball movies) but so good.
Stay warm!
Suzanne says
I absolutely LOVE The Cutting Edge!! Toe pick 😆 I haven’t seen it in years, so I now plan on watching it over the long weekend. Thanks!
Kara says
I ordered the tennis shoes in blue! Green is my fav color too but the blue seems very springy and in frigid Ohio, I need some spring happiness delivered to my house 🙂 I am loving your hair color a bit darker.. it looks great!
Kay says
“TOE PICK!” Oh, how I LOVED that movie growing up! We just watched “The Holdovers” and it is a cozy/winter/New England movie. Probably not for your younger two, but I think the teens and parents would LOVE it. Bonus it just won a Golden Globe so you can be up on your awards viewing :).
Arika says
TOE PICK! I watched Cutting Edge on repeat as a kid! Thanks for the jog down memory lane!
Kristi says
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for creating a tab for Cozy Winter Soup recipes! I also live in the DFW area and want to make a couple good soups and some chili to have over these next few days of freezing temps.
Enjoy all the coziness of Home Sweet Home!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!! I’m so happy you are enjoying it! Happy Friday!!
K.K. says
Okay, so Cutting Edge (the original one) was my favorite movie at Kensington’s age too! 🙂 Oh so good! #thepamchenko (spelling?! ha)
Another winter movie that comes to mind is Serendipity. It wasn’t a favorite the first time I saw it, but it’s grown on me… 🙂
Carissa says
Watching seasonal movies with my family is one of my all-time favorite things to do! Here are some more recs:
Chronicles of Narnia (The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe)
Mr. Popper’s Penguins
Frozen
Secret of the Wings
Edward Scissorhands (there is a wintery scene, could be Halloween too though for the creepy factor :))
About Time
Hope you and your family have some cozy fun watching!
Donna says
Winter movie – Miracle On Ice about 1980 Olympic Hockey team that beat the Russians when Olympics were in Lake Placid NY. I cry every time!
Stephanie C says
I love While You were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock – it could be Christmasy as well.
Amy says
Do you have a link to your cross necklace? Love it!
Mix and Match Mama says
I do! It’s here: https://shopstyle.it/l/b6NBS
Happy Friday!
Shannon K. says
One of my favorite movies is “New in Town”. It is based in Minnesota and stars Harry Connick, Jr. along with Renee Zellwegger. If I remember correctly, there’s a little language that might not be appropriate for the kids though.
Kelly says
Love this post! Can you share which sports bra you’re wearing in the reel for this? I’m having such a hard time finding good sports bras. Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I have this one in so many colors. I wear them under my clothes all the time. It’s here: https://shopstyle.it/l/b6TYn
Terry says
Togo
K.K. says
Okay.. One more thing – It’s not necessarily a wintery movie, but we just also watched The Family Plan with Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan from last year (now on AppleTV I think). I was surprised that I enjoyed it so much! Might check it out. Family, Action, Humor.. I don’t remember a lot of language, etc…
Melissa Carswell says
Hi Shay, what size is your Goyard bag? Thanks.
Mix and Match Mama says
Saint Louis PM (I think…it’s the largest one)
Kris says
Eight Below is one of our favorites!
Sharon J. Entriken says
Have you ever thought about doing You Tube videos with Andrew or Erika? I don’t listen to podcasts but I would definitely watch a video. Haha!
Mix and Match Mama says
For some reason, that sounds easier than a podcast. That might not be a bad idea! Thank you!!
Michelle Okerlund says
Happy 2024 Shay and the Shull Family!
Some of my favorite winter movies and are great for all ages:
*Chronicles of Narnia (The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe)
*Happy Feet
*Snow Day (LOVE)
Adrienne says
Why don’t you wear socks with sneakers?
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t wear socks with any shoes. They get bunched up, they make me a little claustrophobic. I haven’t worn socks with shoes in probably 10 years.
Erica Werner says
Love your cross necklace so much. It’s gorgeous! Mind sharing the link?
Mix and Match Mama says
Of course! https://shopstyle.it/l/b6TZR
Tracey says
I absolutely love The Cutting Edge, Mighty Ducks, and Miracle! Fun fact—I graduated HS with Pat (O’Brien) Demsey who plays Mike Eruzione in Miracle! He played on our varsity hockey team and is a great guy! We’re from MA and everyone in my hometown was so excited to hear when he got the role!
So many great movie suggestions that everyone posted! 🙂
b says
Love love love Bridget Jones!! But, can’t find it streaming anywhere :(. Did you rent it, or can you share which platform it’s on?? TY ❤️
Mix and Match Mama says
You can buy it on Amazon or Apple TV!
Andrea Moorman says
Can you link the lipstick brand color of the shade in the Rayban pick with the white top. The very pinky lipstick. thank you.
Mix and Match Mama says
This one is Mary Kay! It’s Love Me Pink with MAC Oyster Girl gloss on top.
Susie Harrold says
Ice Castles! It’s an old movie, but very sweet.
Leslie S says
We just watched The Lift with Kevin Hart in Netflix – it has a little snow lol and it was really good!!
Teri G says
I’m not sure this is what you are looking for, but I love watching all the Hallmark winter movies. My favorites are Love on the Slopes and Winter Love Story. Some other good ones are:Winter Castle, One Winter Weekend, Love on Iceland, Winter in Vail, Two For the Win, June in January, and Snowcoming,
Cris says
Did anyone mention Balto? Also, one of my grown up favorites is Baby Boom!
Sarah says
Question on the workout – you say 3 sets…does that mean like 3 sets of 3×15 lunges ot 9x total?
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m going to change my wording because I said it twice which made it seem unclear. I’ll change it now! It’s three sets but only one time through each time (so you’ll do three sets of lunges total). Editing that now!
Courtney says
Hi Shay! What size is your white Zella half zip pullover? I want to order one but not sure how it fits. Thank you!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought mine in an xs (TTS) for me!
Amy says
There are 2 seasons of The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers on Disney+. It has some of the original cast from the movies (and, it also has Lauren Graham).
Michelle B says
Baby Boom with Diane Keaton. Not all winter, but does have a great winter scene!
Sheaffer says
Grumpy Old Men is an absolute classic!
