Fallin’ for Barrington

Barrington Tote Black Watch Plaid St. Anne Black Watch Plaid Barrington St. Anne ToteI have been in love with Barrington Totes since the beginning of summer. I have secretly stalked their website and pinned many different fabric options for possible Christmas gifts. However, when their new Fall Collection came out, I fell head over heels for their Black Watch Plaid Collection. & when they offered to send me one, I may have jumped up and down like a little girl on Christmas morning. It is insanely perfect. I am obsessing over plaid right now and its plaid (enough said). I love throwing my stuff in a tote for work each morning and this bag has so much space that its super easy to toss in my laptop, planner and notebooks. I am really thinking I am going to need a summer print now too, because it is just too perfect. I haven’t even mentioned they monogram yet. & we all know monograms make it even cuter.

 

Also, ignore my horrible photos, I am realizing that it is getting dark much sooner thus my lighting has been super bad for all of my outfit pictures. Note to self: No more outfit pictures after work, must be done strictly on weekends when the sun is shining! I must have tried twenty different angles to try to show you how adorable this tote is. On that note, a little life update. My schedule feels like it has been insanely hectic the past week with no end in site. I am really hoping that it slows down, because I am exhausted and know that with the Holidays coming soon, it is only going to get busier. As this post gets even more random, I love the holidays and can’t wait to be around all my family. This weekend we got to see a ton of family for the funeral and even though it was a rough, it was so nice to just be around family all weekend.

    I am obsessed with plaid (I may or may not have a plaid button up shirt collection) and recently, I’ve been expanding that obsession by buying plaid shirts, so you bet I am highly coveting that bag or anything from the Black Watch Plaid collection right now! It looks amazing with your outfit! xx

  • A good drink + guac can actually change your day… and I stand by that. 😂🥑🍸

@ojodeaguahouston just opened a new location in The Woodlands, bringing the flavors of Mexico City to the area with fresh ingredients and a modern twist.

Here’s what we tried — guacamole, passion fruit mimosa, lavender martini, lobster ceviche, rib eye Angus tacos, Espresso martini and of course, the churro cheesecake. 🤎

Everything was fresh, colorful, and SO good. If you’re in The Woodlands and looking for a spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, add Ojo de Agua to your list! 🌮🍹

  • If you’ve never had mochi like this, you’re doing it wrong. 🍓✨#ad 

Bubbies Mochi is the perfect little sweet treat when you want something indulgent without overdoing it. I’m obsessed with the Red, Ripe Strawberry Mochi and the Churro Mochi. One is sweet and creamy with real strawberry flavor, and the other has creamy cinnamon-spiced ice cream wrapped in soft mochi and covered in cinnamon sugar. 🤎

And here’s the trick: let your Bubbies soften for 2–3 minutes before taking a bite. That’s when you get that soft, pillowy mochi texture with the creamy ice cream center. Trust me, it makes all the difference!

Find Bubbies at H-E-B and other retailers near you. 🍨

  • Target did NOT disappoint with the fall finds 🍂👀

The burnt orange tee is giving fall, those viral mules are SO good (I really don’t think they’ll stay in stock long), and those little terracotta pumpkins for $3?! 😍

  • I went into Aerie to “just look”… and somehow ended up trying on all of THIS. 😂

Comment “SHOP” for the links.

These were the first 5 looks that caught my eye, and honestly… Aerie understood the assignment (part 2 coming soon!). 

From everyday basics to pieces that instantly make you feel a little more put together, there were way too many good finds.

Which look would you actually wear? 👀

I’m wearing XS.

  • Grimaldi’s has been a part of our family memories for years, so getting to experience their Kids Pizza Academy together made this visit extra special. 🍕 

From stretching the dough to choosing our toppings 🧀 and making our own pizzas, it was such a fun way to add another memory to the list.

There’s just something special about the places that become part of your family’s story and @grimaldispizzeria is definitely one of those for us. ❤️

  • #ad If your afternoons feel like a sprint, save this easy snack idea! ✨🙌🏻

Before school pickup, I pack quick snack boxes with pretzels, fruit, cheese, and the NEW @QuakerChewy Protein Granola Bars, so everything is ready when it’s time to head to activities. 

They have the same delicious chewy taste and texture we already love, and each bar has 5g of protein and 10g of whole grains, making them an easy addition to our snack boxes. They come in Caramel Chocolate Chip and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors - both are equally amazing!

What’s one snack that’s always in your after-school rotation?
