Happy Halloween! I hope you have a fun night trick or treating with your family and friends. We decided to dress up as Ninjago this year. I think dressing up for Halloween is so much fun and definitely gets you in the Halloween spirit. I've always loved dressing up as a kid and I've also dressed up as an adult. It's so much more fun now to play dress up with my boys. I'm all about a theme and this year the boys definitely had an opinion of their own. You can see at the end of this post some of the costumes that we have dressed up as a family. This year the boys wanted to dress up as Ninjago from the Lego Movie and I thought it would be fun for my husband to dress up as Master Wu and that I dress up as Nya. For the record, she also wears a red outfit. See the picture of her here. I thought it would be fun to wear our costumes to LegoLand. If you follow me on Instagram, you know my boys are obsessed with Legos and LegoLand. We literally go once a week since they love it so much. The best part of taking our pictures there was the unwanted attention my husband got with his costume. Everyone thought he worked there and all the kids were obsessed with him. Everyone wanted to take a picture of him and I swear he was mortified. I appreciate that he took it for the team and dressed up for the kids. We definitely should have enter the Halloween contest at LegoLand. I wish my costume had that much attention, but unfortunately the kids couldn't tell that I was Nya who is Kai sister from the movie.
Since I wanted the boys to be comfortable, I found these super cute pajamas from Target that were perfect for Halloween. I'm all about maximizing their costumes and having them wear it more than once. We attended a few Halloween events with our friends this past weekend. It was definitely super busy and festive. Whatever you decide to do today, whether it be trick or treating, passing out candy at the comfort of your own home, or going to party,I hope you have so much fun! We are planning to go trick or treating around our neighborhood with some of my family and friends. Thanks for stopping by! Have a safe Halloween. Here are our Halloween family costumes through the years. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know which one is your favorite.
Happy Friday! October has definitely flown by and I can't believe Halloween is next week. One of our favorite things to do for fall is going to the pumpkin patch with my family. It's been a tradition of ours ever since we had the boys. Nothing says fall like heading up to the farm and picking out some pumpkins to carve. We headed to one of our favorite pumpkin patch this year which is Bates Nut Farm. This is one of our favorite pumpkin patches because there is so much to do and off course the selection of pumpkins are amazing.
I've always love plaid and I wanted to coordinate outfits with my boys. I picked out these plaid tops from Old Navy that are super affordable. I was so happy to find a matching plaid top to match my oldest. Since having boys, I have to get creative when I try to put matching outfits together. Nothing says fall like pumpkins & plaid right? It was one of the hottest weekend in San Diego and continues to be this week. It was almost 90 degrees so we were all wearing shorts that day. I also wanted to wear my favorite leopard print boots which are so comfy. I wore them the whole day chasing the boys around the patch. The boys were definitely tired at the end of the day and it was also definitely a challenge trying to get pictures of them. With a little bribery, we were able to capture a few pictures of them to share with our family and friends. They had such a good time checking out the farm animals and jumping in the jumper. The food was also delicious! I've always been a sucker for food trucks and I tasted the most amazing Thai food there and the kids loved the pizza and off course the kettle corn.
If you live in San Diego it's definitely a place to check out, I highly recommend visiting Bates Nut Farm there definitely something for everyone, whether it be finding the perfect pumpkin or just indulging in the good food trucks that are there.What are your favorite things to do for fall? Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait for the weekend!
Happy Sunday! When I first saw this embroidered jacket during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale in August, I knew I had to get it. The details of this jacket is phenomenal and worth every penny. I love that the jacket is edgy and chic. The stud details on it is definitely the icing on the cake. I paired it with my favorite red ruffle dress which I bought last year and still continue to wear. I love owning pieces that are timeless. You can see this dress styled here for the holidays.
I'm loving that red is the "it" color for fall this year and this dress is such a flattering piece to wear especially during the holidays. The ruffle details is so pretty and I love that it makes such a statement. I paired it with my Gucci belt to give the dress more shape. Speaking of trends, I am also loving these newspaper boy caps that are seen everywhere this season. I love this gray one I'm wearing because of the lace detail and the affordable price tag. I plan on wearing this cap all season and if you have been following me for awhile on Instagram you know I love a good hat and this one is perfect for those bad hair days or in my case when I'm too busy to curl my hair. I love that these hats instantly pull a look together and make any outfit so chic. What trends are you loving this fall? Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend. My husband is working all weekend so I'm planning a low key weekend with the kids. We also celebrated my grandfather's birthday last night. I can't believe he's 92 years old. It was so much fun to see all my family and catch up with everyone.
