Now I know what you are thinking. You’re thinking wow she really got behind and boy did I ever. The past few months I’ve rarely been home and there has been soooo many things going on I’ve just been a nut job trying to keep it all straight.
So my apologies for being so behind in my posts but starting the new year strong with getting caught up. We have traveled all over the place and had many events going on and I went a little MIA on social media and the internet in general which felt refreshing!
SO HERE is the last 4 months of the year 2023 Favorites! I hope you like them too!
September 2023
YSL Card Holder: Every woman needs a few card holders to make swapping her purses easy. This gorgeous and classic card holder is clearly a closet staple and will forever be in style. I picked this little guy up while in Paris this summer and I’m so glad I did because now I want other card holders too!
Fi Dog Collar: one of the coolest tech pieces I’ve found for dogs so far! A fitness tracker and GPS for your dog. I love the live tracking feature when I am not home and she is being watched by someone else. I also am really competitive and the ranking feature helps motivate me to walk her even more. The little flashlight feature on it is nice when we are in the mountains because she likes to wander off sometimes and I can see exactly where she is at all times.
Alo Sweatpants: You can never have too many sweatpants. Let’s be real. They are a staple in everyone’s closet. I love these sweats they aren’t too frumpy and have a nice fit. As a small girl that is hard to come by.
Horse Cardigan: I don’t wear cardigans very often. I am very petite and usually cardigans look frumpy and huge on me but when I saw this one I had to have it! The horseshoes and horse head on the back just spoke to me and I knew that it would look great with dresses or jeans. It’s very oversized but apparently everything is these days.
L.L Bean Tote: I can not believe I haven’t had one of these since the good ole homeschooling days. This is the Goat of all Totes. 😝 literally the tote that started it all.
October 2023
1. Quill Earrings: I Love these earrings! I first saw them on Beth Dutton on Yellowstone and I actually ended up dressing up as her for Halloween had to order the same ones she bought for the set in Montana. I love how lightweight and unique they are!
2. Cropped Puffer Coat : Alo has easily been sweeping the internet, giving Lululemon and other big names a run for there money. I have a few puffer coats and this one is extra fluffy and so flattering since I am so short it sits at my hips and actually gives me a waist while wearing a big puffy coat!
3. Vitamix Blender: The blender of all blenders! The Vitamix! This was a birthday gift from my mother this year and I can not rave about it more. When you grow up with nice kitchen tools it’s hard to be a poor college student or young couple starting out and have cheap alternatives. Thanks to my mom she always spoils us and got me a badass blender for my birthday!
4. Airlift Legging: Again, Alo takes the cake this month with there Airlift leggings! Super highwaist and compressive which is a must in my book. I love how they smooth out all the lumps and bumps. Very comfortable. I would say TTS to runs on the small side, I am typically a size XS/S and 0/2/4 and I got a size small in the 7/8th length due to my lack of height and they sit right at my ankle bone which is perfect!
5. Plaid Skirt: I can always get down on more plaid in my closet. This skirt is easily a winter wardrobe staple for any holiday or day to day. Very soft material and very oversized. I have an XS/S and I wish I could make it smaller.
November 2023
1. Straw Hat: This hat has been on the wishlist for a long time but due to the price I had yet to pull the trigger. However, for black Friday she ran an amazing promo and I had to get it! It even came with an extra grosgrain ribbon in a beautiful coral collar and will be going on every beach trip with me from here on out! LOVE IT!
2. Loafers: I have other pairs of slip ons from this brand Birdies and I could not resist the green velvet this year! It pairs so well with alot of my other outfits and you will never find a more comfortable loafer or slip on. I said what I said!
3. Embroidered Skirt: FARM RIO!!!! I feel like anyone could say that name and you know its going to be beautiful and well made! I am so glad I waited to buy this skirt because I almost bought it full price and I got it for a steal! Goes to show that if you are patient and really want something I will probably go on sale in a few weeks. 🙂 I don’t have a link for this because it is sold out everywhere.
4. Christmas Banner: I have one of these banners for almost every holiday and I could not say no to this cutie either! Handmade with love by Lemon House Designs.
5. Dog Travel Bowls: I have purchased these bowl before and they got a little upgrade with a draw string inside. My previous bowls my puppy Kenai decided were part of dinner one trip and shredded them to pieces.
December 2023
1. K9 Harness: The Julius K9 IDC power harness is by far superior to all other harnesses I have ever bought. I only got one for Kenai because those suckers are not cheap and I wanted to make sure that it would not put pressure on my Lulus neck. I am now waiting for a sale to buy another one. You will not be disappointed. I got Kenai a size XS/mini mini and it fits like a dream! I also got custom patches with her name and our phone number on them!
2. Bum Bag: I have a thing for hair on hide bags and LOV Leathers in Saratoga Wyoming literally steals my money every time. I have already gotten so much use out of this cute little bumbag and surprisingly it fits a ton! She does these made to order and you get to pick the hide you want. I did a dark brindle color which is not pictured but this one below is close!
3. Theraface Pro: The tool of all face tools the Theraface pro! Made by Therabody they built a tool that combines percussive therapy, three different light therapies, a cleanser, and a micro current tool as well as hot and cold therapy all in one! HOW FREAKING COOL! I can not rave enough about this bad boy it is so amazing and feels so great its like a spa and a gym for your face! I also ordered the hot and cold rings to add on to the tool and I was so happy I did! I let my mom test it out and she immediately ordered a device for herself!
4. Leather booties: I waited all year for these to go on sale on black Friday! They are TTS and so stinkin cute! The perfect heel height for a little boost but not uncomfortable. Handmade in Mexico and very good quality. These will not be the only boots I buy from Esquivas.
5. Coffee Table Book: If you have ever been in my home you know enjoy reading and love books. I collect coffee table books and books from trips around the world. This book had absolutely beautiful graphics and my sister nows how much I love books and got it for me for Christmas. Whoever is the marketing and graphics team for Boot Barn does a fabulous job and should win an award. I really enjoy watching the Boot Barn Fashion Show every year and this years was out of this world, like one of my favs!
whew that was a lot! but now I am all caught up! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Cheers to 2024!
