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

  • Six years of Howl-O-Ween at @greatwolflodge 🎃🐾

What started as a fun getaway has become one of our favorite family traditions, and we look forward to it every year! ❤️

The whole lodge transforms for Halloween, and there’s so much to do! 👻 From the Trick-or-Treat Trail and Monster Bash Dance Party to Howl-O-Ween crafts, yoga, Boo Bingo, and trivia, the festive fun doesn’t stop!

Of course, we always make time for the indoor water park (those slides are SO good!), plus the kids’ indoor favorites like the VR and Howlers Peak Ropes Course. 🌊 

And don’t forget the seasonal Howl-O-Ween bites and sips!🎃🍹

I can’t believe this was year SIX! 🧡
