I always love this week of the year. The excitement for Halloween is mounting with the girls (we have a countdown calendar and we’ve officially reached the “1 day” mark…), and then after, we’re officially in November and my two favorite holidays of the year follow….

Given all of that, we spent the past weekend partaking in Halloween fun with family and friends… pumpkin carving and painting, a Halloween soccer playdate, Trunk or Treating, and a family Halloween movie nights….

And now, here we are, welcoming a new Monday. I came across this reminder the other day and wanted to share it here, just in case it would be helpful to anyone else as we begin a new week:

“On the days you only have 40% and you give 40%, you gave 100%.”- Jim Kwik

With that, I hope everyone has a wonderful day ahead!

(Back to our Friday lunch dates… jeans, top, flats (under $40 studded flats))

(And back to some of our weekend traditions… like a casual Friday family gathering…)

(A full Saturday with soccer and Halloween festivities… leggings, ribbed top, jacket, sneakers)

(A little Trunk or Treating to kick off the Halloween week…. we have a mermaid and a butterfly this year.)

(Sunday’s casual outfit… loafers are 20% off through 10/31 with code SHANNONFALL20… I’ve had them for 4 years and they’re wonderful… jeans, tee, hat)

(The final result of our afternoon pumpkin carving.)

If you’re in the market for a great sports bra, this one has quickly become one of my favorites (I own it in black and white)…. supportive, but not constricting.

Bloomingdale’s is having 30-40% off some of my go-to cashmere pieces… like this cardigan (I own it in camel, grey, and black), oversized sweater, oversized cashmere wrap (I always recommend this as holiday gifts), and this cashmere sweater dress.

I ordered these CashSoft sweater pants in the black color (they’re 40% off) and can’t wait to try them off… added in the matching sweater as well (I love the medium brown color as well).

I found my NB327 sneakers in the perforated white colorway fully in stock….

I love this sleeveless sweater (I got it last winter) for when I want to dress for fall but it doesn’t feel like it outside… it also comes in black…

I was in need of a good basic belt, and I found this one, which comes in 3 colors (bought the black and brown).

If you’re looking for some fun holiday pieces, I love this tie front top, metallic pants, mesh sleeve dress, and this sequins dress. I also love my black silk skirt and think it would look beautiful with a cashmere sweater…
