There are a lot of great things about fall fashion. Cozy coats. Oversized sweaters. Alllll the knit accessories. But I bet we can all agree that shoes are the best part! I’ll take all the boots, flats, sneakers, and mules please. Especially if they come in rich colors and warm materials. I figured you all feel as passionately about this subject as I do, so I rounded up the five fall shoes I always gravitate towards!VIEW POST

November Edit: Cozy Textures
I think it’s time to address the giant pink elephant in the room! How cute is the pink teddy bear coat?? I love the teddy bear trend {I wore a similar jacket here}. I think this is just a fun style for fall and really embraces cozy texture. It feels like slightly dressier version of a fleece jacket which is appreciated. I think light pink pairs so well with fall colors. Rust, grey, black, it totally works with any color. We all know light pink is basically a neutral at this point lol! I thought this pretty pink hair bow and pink earrings would be pretty perfect fall accessories! I was torn between this simple pink huggies and these more glam pink earrings. Which are your fave?
I think pink also pairs so well with rust colored styles. Like this cozy sweater and this cute corduroy skirt. For you cold weather gals, these Nordic Boots from J.Crew look so cozy! Their snow boots get really good reviews every year, so if we ever do a snowy vacation I want to get a pair!
For grey pieces, I am loving any with cozy textures like this fuzzy one. And these matching gloves and scarf would make a perfect gift! Who doesn’t love affordable cashmere?? This adorable hat has two of my favorite textures for fall and winter. Cable knit and a fuzzy pom! Who can resists a good pom? Not me!

I know I’m not the only one who likes to be cozy during the fall! I definitely took advantage of our recent Colorado trip to wear all the cozy jacket, boots, and accessories!
One of the things I am ALWAYS on Matthew’s case about is his skin. Sorry babe! He is just SO lazy about taking care of his skin and I think I bring it up to him once a week. He always gives me some excuse or another about how he’s too busy, nothing really works, etc. Well, I recently got some products from Olay that I was VERY excited about! They are a part of the Retinol24 collection which, if you don’t know about retinol, it’s like a must-have in your skincare routine. Retinol is a potent but effective ingredient that’s aimed at softening fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing skin, brightening things up and helping to minimize dark spots and large pores. Some people have issues with it being too expensive or irritating. In the past I’ve loved using retinol products, especially since I have acne-prone skin, but they can often be a little harsh. Still worth it though, in my opinion! When I got Olay’s new package I was so excited to check it out because it’s not supposed to irritate your skin at all. This mama bear is still nursing so retinol is not recommended. But I was able to convince Matthew to be my guinea pig. Let’s just say if I can convince my husband, I bet you can too! The only issue is that he might use it all up before I can try it! Here are Matthew’s thoughts about the line:
Hey y’all! Matthew here. So, I love my wife, but if she has to talk to me one more time about washing my face, applying a million and one products, I might lose it. #truth. She did make me a little wager that I couldn’t resist and here I am using her Olay Retinol24. I was skeptical at first, but I started off using the retinol moisturizer cream, the retinol serum, and the retinol eye cream. I’ll admit I wasn’t consistently using all three but the one that I really did like was the moisturizer. Applying the moisturizer just felt like a natural first step and I could remember it a little more easily. Sorry, serum and eye cream -baby steps! I did have a few questions before starting to use these products that maybe you (or your dudes) would wonder about too:
