A Few of My Favorite Things (12.4.20)

I don’t write “favorites” posts very often but I know it’s time when I find myself keeping a running list of things in my head that I “have to tell you guys about.” In this case, I actually made a list in the Notes app on my phone because I had so many ideas for things to include in this post. I’m actually skipping the books and podcasts that I had written down and turning that into their own post. It’s been too long since we’ve talked books and reading around here!

I’ve got a fun mix of things here ranging from holiday thermal PJ sets to sneakers to jewelry. Make sure to read through the end because there’s a great discount code for my readers from my friend Erin McDermott!

THERMAL HOLIDAY PJ SETS 

I like the Stars Above loungewear at Target because it’s super soft and comfortable. When I saw that they had thermal holiday PJ sets I couldn’t resist. Well, I tried to resist and ended up buying them on my next Target run…and I’m so glad that I did. These Pjs are so cute and comfy! At just $25 per set, they are reasonably priced and they have quite a few fun patterns.

I think I may order this pattern too. For reference, I got a small and they fit great. I would recommend sizing up one size from your normal, especially if you like your PJs a little oversized like I do.

These thermal PJ sets would also make for a great holiday gift!

BROOKS REVEL 4 (ESPECIALLY THIS GOLD COLOR!)

I partnered with Brooks recently and ordered my first pair of their Revel 4 shoes when making product selects. I’m SO happy that I did because they are my new favorite shoe for everything! I’ve worn them to run and workout and also just as a casual shoe for travel or day-to-day mom life. My first pair was this black and white pattern. They go with everything and I liked them so much that I ordered the gold ones.

10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a comfortable casual shoe or a neutral running/working out shoe. Note, I am a 7.5 in dress and size 8 fits me perfectly in these shoes. I have also washed mine several times and they’re holding up great!

VIRGIN RIVER

Well friends, I somehow got distracted by Virgin River while browsing Netflix in my west to watch all of the cheesy holiday movies. I’m on season one, episode seven and thoroughly enjoying it! 🙂

A NEW BLACK JACKET

I was in desperate need of a new black jacket that could be dressed up or down after wearing an Under Armour Jacket for the last three years that is awesome and warm but lacking style and length. I ended up with this quilted cocoon puffer from J. Crew and it’s perfect! I love the gold details, the slightly longer length that covers my butt but doesn’t go to my knees and the really big oversized pockets. It’s a great jacket to wear with jeans and boots or just on walks with the dogs! It’s on sale right now 15% off and an extra 20% with code FESTIVE. It comes in several different color options.

ERIN MCDERMOTT JEWELRY 

When am I not loving Erin McDermott Jewelry? I would guess that 80% of my jewelry collection is made by Erin and I constantly get compliments on what I wear. Lately, I’ve been wearing this triple layer gold necklace a lot. It’s on sale right now for just $36!

I’ve also found that the mixed metals version of this multi-bar long necklace is versatile and goes great with so many things.

Finally, Erin has so many amazing bracelet bundles on her site that would make for awesome holiday gifts! Be sure to check out all of the fun options in the bracelet category.

SURPRISE DISCOUNT!!!! 30% OFF WITH CODE PBR

I sent Erin a quick text while I was writing this post and she’s offered you guys 30% off of your order with code PBR. I hope this helps with some of your holiday shopping and gift ideas! 🙂 Don’t forget, I LOVE the gold bar necklace as a meaningful gift. I have one with Finn’s name and another with Sullie’s name and birthday. <3

Erin is fellow Charlotte mom of three girls and runs this small business out of her home studio. She’s one of the kindest, most generous, warm-hearted, fun and loving women that I know and I’m so honored to call her a friend and to do anything that I can to support her business.

QUESTIONS

What’s your PJ/loungewear style? Do you like PJ sets or do you just wear a mix of cozy things? 

Any cookbooks that you’re loving right now?

What shoes are you wearing the most now that it’s gotten colder out?
