Fall Wish List: Lisa

I am so excited for fall fashion this year! Fall is my favorite season, so it only makes sense that I am obsessed with all the trends that we are all about to start wearing. I love buying a few trend pieces each year to mix and match with my current wardrobe. I mean, who can afford to buy a new entire closet each season? Not me! 

Quite a few trends are rolling over from last year but being revamped in a more updated way.
Hello plaid crop tops and kitten heels, swoon!  

Here are three of my favorite fall trends that I can't wait to shop:

Mad for Plaid

Joa // Sole Society // Tommy Hilfiger // ASOS 

Animal Print 

Elkin // Just Fab // Old Navy // Rachel Roy 

The Color Wine

Rag & Bone // Sole Society // Hilfiger via ASOS // ASOS 

What trends are you looking forward to this fall? See any items above that you have to have?

Because Lisa is a Mommy On-The-Go!

Being a mommy on-the-go is a job you must time out perfectly. My day begins with getting the kids fed and ready for school followed by about 20 minutes of suiting them up to drive. Since this winter is never ending, we layer up with snow pants, coats, mittens, scarves, hats, and boots.

I am not kidding when I tell you we have to wake up 20 minutes earlier just to get the kids ready to load in the car…it's nuts! Ah, the joys of motherhood! ;) 

After the kids are at school, this is my work and/or errands time. Shortly after they are home, it's sports, homework, reading, playing, play dates, followed by dinner prep and night routines (baths, books, bed). 

Lately, I've been enjoying keeping my look very simple. A cozy knit and skinny jeans has really become by go-to this season. It's easy, cute (well, I think it's cute) and takes me under 5 minutes to get dressed which is key.

Because Lisa Dresses to Beat the Winter Blues

 

 It snowed way too much this winter. In fact, it's the third worst winter Chicago has had in the past 100 years! Good times! My solution? A great umbrella to keep your hair dry and Hunter boots to keep my feet and pants dry of course. 

Here is my winter style to beat the winter blues:

Top: Old Navy (Swap w/ Kaitlyn) // Jeans: Tommy Hilfiger // Boots & Socks: Hunter Boots // Earrings: Jewelmint 

// Umbrella: Urban Outfitters // Watch: Fossil 

This anchor knit makes me long for Spring and a day at the lake house so bad! I am so glad this was the last big snow of the season (or at least we hope!)

How have you been dressing during crazy snow storms? 

Because Lisa Loves Knits with Elbow Batches

 

I bought this amazing knit last winter and have only worn it one since. Why? I have no idea, so I decided I must wear it ASAP. There is something about elbow patches that I just can't get enough of... I don't know what it is, but it just adds a certain charm. 

I decided to mix up the color palette a bit by adding this amazing blue necklace to my outfit. 

Knit: Piperlime // Jeans: Tommy Hilfiger // Boots: c/o Sole Society // Necklace: c/o Sammy Dress // Watch: Fossil // Chain Bracelet: Victoria's Secret // Bow Bracelet & Rings: T+J Designs 

Are you fan of elbow patches like myself?
