Can we take a moment to appreciate that Dallas is finally getting fall weather?! It will actually me chilly enough this weekend to wear a scarf and sweater (insert praise emoji!) We have literally been sweating in all of our fall clothes every time we take pictures for the blog or instagram, so we can finally wear the outfits we have been posting. This knit scarf is not only so pretty, but it really keeps you warm! The color adds a feminine touch to any outfit, and can be worn wrapped several times, how we did, or you can just wrap it once, and let it hang long! We paired it with this velvet baseball cap (soooo cute), and major bonus: it hides dirty hair, yes please!We wore the scarf over some light layers, but it could also be worn over a thicker sweater. This cardigan is the same one you may remember us wearing in white. Love the bell sleeves and the lightness it has to it. The color also goes with everything!
Of course, you can’t go wrong with a ripped pair of jeans with any outfit. This exact pair sold out, but this pair and this pair are super similar. To keep the outfit pretty neutral, we paired these booties with the outfit. They have a more pointed toe, so they make your legs look longer. This color also looks great with darker jeans, like black or grey. We are soooo glad that baseball caps are back in because 1. who had time to wash their hair? and 2. it hides a makeup-free face 😉 They also just look really cute! We found some really cute other prints of caps below:
Many of y’all may not know that our grandma suffered from breast cancer, and so now, it is very close to our hearts. We have walked in several Race For The Cures, and love getting to give back or donate in any way we can. What better way to do that than shopping for yourself (or someone else), while also donating to a great cause?! We wanted to round up our favorite pink products that are not only adorable, but also donate part of their proceeds to help breast cancer research and prevention!
Love a good sports bra! (#12) This one offers medium support and coverage and twelve percent of sales from this bra will be donated to Recovery on Water (ROW), an organization and rowing team that empowers women with breast cancer to connect with other survivors and “become active in their recovery.”
This Sigma flat kabuki brush (#14) is perfect for applying foundation or bb cream. It has super soft bristles and twenty percent of proceeds from this brush will go to Bright Pink, a nonprofit organization dedicated to breast and ovarian cancer prevention and early-detection education for young women.
We are major fans of anything Bobbi Brown. This powder (#7) can be used as a blush or or all-over bronzing shimmer to keep your glow lasting all day. For every purchase of the set, $11 will be donated to the BCRF.
We use our S’well bottles ALL of the time. This bikini pink version (#3) is so fun and keeps your drinks hot or cold. During the month of October, 20% of the purchase price for this color will go to the BCRF.
We actually tried these GoMacro bars (#1) a while back and loved the taste of them! You can purchase them individually or by the tray, but either way, 10% of all sales from the Sunny Uplift bars will go to the Keep a Breast Foundation, which is dedicated to educating and empowering young people with prevention resources through large-scale campaigns like I Heart Boobies (of silicone bracelet fame).
We don’t own a pair of these APL sneakers yet (#5), but we will be buying some of these now! After the founders of APL lost their grandmother to breast cancer, they made it part of their company’s mission to serve others battling the disease. For each pair sold, the brand will donate 20% of the retail price for this edition of their incredibly comfortable and functional Phantom sneakers to the Women’s Cancer Research Fund.
These Jack Rogers’ sandals (#2) are a great pair and we own them in a different color, but how cute is this light pink?! 10% of sales for the Blush Lauren Sandal will be donated to the BCRF.
Y’all know we loveeee anything David Yurman! This bracelet (#15) is a special edition and 20% of the purchase price goes to BCRF.

We also wanted to share some tips on preventing breast cancer with the help of Breast Cancer Research Foundation. We are only 26 and have both gotten mammograms, so it is never too early!
1. BCRF advises that keeping your weight in check and staying physically active are two important aspects of prevention. Speak to your doctor about what a “healthy weight” looks and feels like to you, and make an exercise plan that works for your body and schedule.
2. Avoid drinking too much alcohol, and don’t smoke! Smoking comes with additional risks of cancer, but both of these things can contribute to weakening your immune system.
3. Find out your family history and talk to your doctor about when you should be getting regular screenings. If you have a history of breast cancer, your doctor may want to have you checked more frequently or want to start your checkups at a younger age.
4. Get familiar with your own body and know your “normal” so that when you give yourself at-home exams, you’re aware of any new bumps, lumps, or signs.
I have a major love for anything peplum, so when I saw that this top was $16 AND gingham, I had to have it. Well, actually, it wasn’t on sale when I bought mine (of course), but I got mine for about $24, so still not bad! I love that Old Navy is carrying petites now because it means everything will fit me the right way without me swimming in it, haha. This top comes in several patterns, and no surprise here that I ordered it in two patterns! I am wearing an XS petite and am 5’1″!
*PS- Old Navy is having a sale through today with code GETMORE
While I am talking about gingham, what goes better than white jeans! I wear mine all year long, but I especially love them for spring and summer. This pair is the one I am wearing and these also come in petites!
I get a lot of questions about my wedges, which I got on super sale at Nordstrom Rack. This pair and this pair are super close to mine and go with almost everything from shorts, to jeans, to dresses!
I got this pink tassel clutch in Italy, but this tassel clutch is on my to-buy list because its ADORABLE. Also, I love this hot pink clutch as well!
Hope you all are having a great week so far! We have had a pretty busy week so far, but it seems to be flying by! I hope you all had a chance to check out yesterday’s post on eating healthier at a restaurant! We had a ton of requests for this post, so I hope it was helpful!
Let us know if you have ANY questions about anything at all. Xo
