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

  • Sometimes you don’t need a plane ticket to feel like you’ve actually gotten away. 🤍

We spent the weekend at @houstonianhotel, Club & Spa and somehow fit a little bit of everything into one stay… couples massage at @trellisspahtx, pool time, an incredible dinner at TRIBUTE, exploring the beautiful property, breakfast and even a 4-mile trail walk.

And the food?! The Tlacoyo and Gulf Coast Bouillabaisse from the new fall menu were hands down our favorites. 👏🏼

If you’re looking for a couples getaway in Houston, definitely put this one on your list. ✨

  • One piece of wood + a little creativity = the cutest fall DIY. 🍂🎃

I love when you can take something you already have and turn it into something completely new for your home. The DEWALT 20V MAX 12-inch Brushless Cordless Chainsaw made cutting these wood slices so much easier, and then it was just a little paint + a few simple finishing touches to bring my idea to life.

If you’re ready to tackle a fall project of your own, @homedepot has the tools and supplies to help you get started. 🤎
