FP Movement Jogger Set HERE and HERE / NB Sneakers (similar) / Calpak Duffel / Beis Lavender Suitcase / Transparent Suitcase Cover
Just got back from a fun trip with friends and I have to share pics because FALL.. we found it! Quick pic from the airport. My friend and I are twining because we love these Free People sets! They are so comfortable and flattering. (They fit true to size – wearing xs.) I was so excited to take my new purple luggage I bought during the N sale but I didn’t want it to get scratched! At least not for a while. :) So I ordered a clear cover and it worked so well.

Kenny and our friends relentlessly teased me about this.. and about packing so much as I always do (ha) but I don’t care! The cover got scratched and my suitcase did not! Now when I travel with this suitcase on road trips it will be beautiful and scratch free. Also when it was warmer than we thought it would be on our trip I wasn’t stuck wearing sweaters. I had options. I’m a huge fan of scratch free luggage and having options. :)

Faux Cedar Wreath / Pre-lit Tree
As soon as we made it to our destination we stopped by a Walmart to get groceries and my friend and I of course had to pop over to see the holiday decor. We were dying over the cute Christmas items they had in! I snapped a pic of everything I saw that I loved. Tempted to order it all! Hello gorgeous wreath!

These little pre-lit trees in baskets are also too cute! I have one in a larger size and they light up beautifully!




Brown Frayed Ribbon / Taupe Frayed Ribbon
If you’re going neutral this ribbon is gorgeous!



TOO CUTE. I linked all of my Walmart Christmas favorites below and then picture overload from our trip!

After our Walmart grocery run we got to the hotel and these two thought they would test how big the tub was. My friend and I were quickly reminded why we can’t take them out in public.

The next day we toured the historic ski resort town Breckenridge, CO.

It was the most beautiful fall day and the town was so charming. We went into all the little shops and ate lunch and then went on a drive to see the fall leaves. Colorado is so beautiful in the fall!

Mock Neck Sleeveless Dress / Similar boots Here and Here/ Suede Hobo Bag
We cleaned up later that night and went to a restaurant in Vail called Harvest for dinner. The food was delicious and the view was spectacular. Sidenote.. I absolutely love this dress! It runs a size big (wearing xxs). It’s fitted but so comfortable.

These dresses are very us.. ha. She loves patterns and feminine dresses. I’m usually in solid colors and would always rather be in jeans than a dress, but if I’m going to wear a dress it will be simple and solid and preferably something I can wear with boots because heels are the enemy.

The next day we went on a hike and I couldn’t get over the stunning scenery!

Ruched Knit Top / Faux Leather Bomber Jacket / Similar Sunglasses
Then we spent the day in Vail exploring the town and Farmer’s Market.

Talk about charm! Every building, store and restaurant was idyllic and we had so much fun exploring together and taking it all in.

One last drive to see the fall leaves!

Aren’t the trees absolutely stunning!?



I came home feeling grateful for time spent with my husband, time spent with good friends,

and time spent in nature. Colorado you are stunning. Thank you for giving us our fall fix as we head back to the palm trees!
Wow, such stunning scenery!
I have been eyeing that very same wreath with the white ribbon!
It’s so pretty in person! Thank you Kathy! Enjoy your weekend. :)
So happy you had a great trip and a great time in Vail! Yay for keeping your luggage looking like new, too! Excellent all around.
Thank you Jeanne! So sweet of you! Happy Friday! :)
Longtime reader, not a frequent commenter, but I’ve been reading your blog since maybe 2011 or so and I just want to say how happy I get when I receive your post in my inbox! You and your stories and photos have always been and continue to be, a bright spot in a world that can be difficult sometimes. Anyways I just wanted to tell you that Erin and I hope you have a wonderful weekend 🩷
Mackenzie! You’re going to make me cry! What a thoughtful comment. Thank you! I’m so grateful and honored that you have been reading so long! That means a lot to me. More than you know! Thank you again and have a beautiful weekend!
Hi Erin,
Beautiful trip! A wonderful get away! Just have to ask, did any of you get altitude sickness?
I’m afraid of it since it happened once to me up in the mountains.
Plan plenty of these getaways with Kenny and friends. I’m a step or two ahead of you and I wish I did more of this before the weddings and grand babies, etc., ETC…..
You never know when something will come up changing all these fun times!
Xoxo
PS will send a pic of what I did with the lit Fall garland! Not what you would think!
Hi Sherri! We didn’t get sick! I get motion sick really easily (driving on curvy roads or on boats) but it’s never an issue for me in the mountains. Such good advice because you’re right.. we never know what’s coming. Been thinking about you so much and sending a hug! And I would love to see what you did with the lit fall garland! :)
This trip looks like a dream! Cool weather is my kind of trip! Ryan and I need to add this to our bucket list. So pretty! Glad you had a great time!
Thanks Josie! Definitely a fun spot to hang out in the fall! :)
