I have found the perfect fall flat at (you guessed it) Target! Loving the new brands that have been brought in, especially a new day! I’ve slowly started a collection and I can’t get enough of their adorable styles.
Of course I linked a few of my favorites for all ya'll.
These suede-esque flats are perfect for any fall outfit. Pair them with skinnies and a blouse, tights and a skirt, or leggings and an oversized tunic, and they’ll add the perfect pop of color and texture. Shop the look below!

I'm all about the tunics this time of year. Let me introduce you to one of my favorites: the 'Lucy' from Junky Trunk Boutique. This bad boy is currently available in 8 colors. I actually have 8 of them myself, however different colors have been offered over the years. But really, they are just that good. It comes in two sizing options: S/M (which I wear) or M/L. (I'm ususally a size 2 dress, or small for reference). I believe the biggest difference between the two sizes is in the arms, as they are fitted there. For just $25, you won't want to miss out on this one. With fitted sleeves and a loose bodice, it is flattering on absolutely everyone. Wear them with leggings, tights, knotted up with some skinnies, or wear it on its own! I'm 5'7 and (with a layering tank under to be safe) it totally works as a dress. It is just so versatile when it comes to styling Click here to shop this tunic! Use discount code JTBMCNAUGHT for 30% off.

Fall has finally come to Arizona and I couldn’t be more excited. Sweater weather is my favorite, and when our temperatures are between 50 and 85 degrees, it’s completely acceptable to break out the fall wear. Read more below to see some of the different ways I styled these sweaters and where to find them!
Being married to your best friend certainly has its perks. I mean, its your best friend. Through thick and thin. you have vowed to stand by one another amidst all things. Nothing is better than that. To make it even more fun, there are so many fabulous ways you can let the whole world know: you're off the market baby!!!

To all the brides out there, old and new, we wish you a happily ever after.
Here in Arizona, we are still dreaming of cooler temperatures. Fortunately for us, we can slowly begin incorporating our fall pieces in gradual ways. I like to start with one item, and build my outfit around it. Typically I start with the shoes and build up, it’s my staple for any outfit Find your perfect staples that will last! My top 4 pieces for Fall - classic dark wash denim: they're slimming and you can pair them with just about anything. Plus my favorite style tip is any pair that had a touch of stretch for added comfort - kick ass booties: Flat or heeled, pick a pair that makes you feel fierce and fabulous.There is nothing wrong with feeling: like you can take on the world. - blanket scarves: so happy this 'trend' is still around. Paired with a simple tank & your fave denim, instantly chic. - a cable knit sweater that isn't bulky: I searched high and low for my perfect sweater. This one flares slightly at the sleeves, yet isn’t too cumbersome, effortlessly draped on my shoulders. It’s unfortunately no longer available. I’ve linked a comparable one below because this one is from last season and out of stock. I promise, its fantastic. Here is the goal ladies, effortless elegance. Don't forget, use discount code JTBMCNAUGHT for 30% off these booties, denim and scarf. Yes, please.
Fashion trends have always been cyclical and continue to rotate through the eras. We’ve seen the 70’s revival recently with culottes, bell bottoms, peasant tops, and one of my personal favorites: pleats. Like so many trends, fashion is always on rotation, at least the good ones. Pleats are one of the more understated trends from the 1970’s era. Let me tell you what I just can’t get enough of: delicate pleated tanks. Adding a graceful, yet classy touch to any outfit. A simple, pleated tank is a staple for any closet; it adds the perfect amount of elegance to any ensemble. I opted to pair mine with a dark wash denim and nude wedges for a simple, classic look. You can't go wrong with any of the pleated tanks I've linked below. Happy Monday (and happy shopping)! Wearing: White House Black Market Tank (unavailable) - Flying Monkey Classic Denim - Nude Mary Jane Wedges (available here in black) Pleated Tanks: Fall is here in full swing y'all. I'm pretty positive I have found my perfect lipstick to carry me through the season. I usually don't go for reds, ever. Give me a plum, berry, or brown, I'm in. I am always worried that a true red lip will do one of a few things:
I was cleaning out my makeup bag and found an oldie but goodie I must have COMPLETELY forgot about. I have legit worn it 3 days in a row since rediscovering it. I tried it out to wear to the Diamondbacks Wild Card game. & C'mon guys... We were at a baseball game, the fullest and most dynamic baseball stadium I have ever been in. What a game! Dbacks won 11-8!! But alright, so I'm talking beers, peanuts, pizza, tons of cheering, talking and yelling. It was a grand time y'all, Here's the clincher, I didn't once think about my lipstick and didn't reapply it once throughout the night. Hubby and I got home, my lips were still full of color, and so unbelievably soft! Hubs is always a tad hesitant to bold lips, No guys wants to be covered in lipstick. Even he was surprised at how great it did! We are in a day and time where we want our makeup to do its job, and last. It shouldn't have to be complicated. This Revlon Super Lustrous Lip takes care of it all in one. I happened to only have the color Spicy Cinnamon at the moment, which I am super happy for. Like I said above, you can expect to see me in it on repeat! Its so goooood. PS: Spicy Cinnamon is under $3 on Amazon!! All about that killer deal! I can't wait to stock on more colors! I can't rave enough about how great it was! They have 100's of colors available. You can view them here on Revlon's Official Website. Prefer a gloss? They'll also have a Super Lustrous Lip Gloss! It claims to have a non-sticky feel. I may have to try that one as well!
What is your favorite color for Fall? Pumpkin patches, cozy fireplaces and cooling temperatures. Oh yes, fall is here in full swing. October, we happily welcome you! Ashley grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and nothing could beat driving down a quiet road, surrounded by multicolored trees of red, orange and gold. Cascading all around and littering the road ahead as leaves colored the streets. Its a bit different here in Arizona. It can feel similar in like Northern Arizona, but down here in the valley, we soak in our cool mornings and wait until November for fall! Not only are we in the spirit for fall, but it’s time for one of Alexis' favorite holidays, HALLOWEEN!!! Growing up the house was decorated for every holiday and Lex has continued that in her own household as well.

When you find the perfect striped dress, you buy it in both colors! Especially when its just $18! I've always been a sucker for stripes. So when I found this simple t-shirt dress, I knew it was a must have. From Junky Trunk Boutique, the Sawyer Striped Dress is your key to looking effortlessly styled. Available in both a white with black stripes, or black with white stripes. You're getting the steal of a lifetime, without the jail time haha! The material is lightweight, but thick enough where there is zero sheerness. Being that it is 65% rayon and 8% spandex, it definitely has an ample amount of stretch! Here are some of my styling inspirations: Perfect for dressing up or down, its the most effortless day to night dress. -Pair it with sandals and a vest for an easy casual look. -Throw on some sneaks and a ball cap for a chic athleisure day. -Booties and some leather, date night ready. Need I say more? Happy Friday y'all!
