Saturday Sale Sweep

Happy weekend everyone!  Do you have any special plans?  We have my dad and grandmother coming over for dinner and a movie later tonight.  Until then I plan to clean some around the house and take care of an errand or two.  I'm suppose to be taking the little ones to a farm tomorrow for some fun and to pick out pumpkins, but the weather forecast isn't looking so good right now.  I need to think of a back-up plan.  


Also happening this weekend- great sales!  I've rounded up several favorites for you that are listed below.




Ann Taylor: Extra 50% Sale Styles




Victorias Secret: 40% off Sleepwear and Lingerie

J.Crew Factory: Up to 60% everything


*Sales are current at the live time of post.

Friday Focus- Capes

I just finished lunch.  I'm sitting here in yoga pants and t-shirt (mom life), looking outside my back doors at the sunshine and leaves blowing in the wind.  It's around 70 degrees today.  Not really fall-like, but soon enough the cooler temps will be here-  this weekend in fact! The nights have been chilly but the days still haven't really called for sweaters or jackets.   I may have said this before, but fall is my favorite season.  I'm not pumpkin spice obsessed but I do enjoy it, along with the changing of the leaves, cool nights that turn into cool days, chili cooking on the stove, an occasional football game, and the holidays.  I also love cozying up in a sweater and pulling out my boots to wear.  I still love my summer wardrobe and think that summer is the easiest season to dress for because there are less layers to "match", but cooler weather clothes are more comfortable.  Below, I've shared my one of my favorite on-trend season styles- the cape.  Any of these would be so chic paired with skinny jeans or leggings (depending on the cape length), and a simple tee or turtle neck underneath.  Which is your favorite?  I love them all, but really eyeing number one or five!

Recipe- Almost-Famous Burgers

I follow several food bloggers, restaurants, and other food related accounts on Instagram.  They give me great ideas for recipes and also give me hunger pains on occasion.  This is especially the case if I'm in the mood for say, a chocolate dessert and then a delicious, decadent double chocolate cake pops up in my feed.  I also have several hard copy cookbooks in my kitchen and have hundreds of recipes pinned to Pinterest for inspiration.  This past week, what caught my eye was the Almost-Famous Animal-Style Burger, so it's called, from The Food Network.  It's a fairly simple way to dress a burger but I don't think I've had it this way before so I had to try!  I purchased the best quality ground beef at the grocery, but with some fat because that apparently makes a juicy burger.  I also picked up some dairy-free buns since I can't have diary right now because my infant son has a cow protein allergy and I'm breastfeeding... more on that later. Burgers typically go over well in my household and my husband rarely rejects the idea of having one for dinner.  They're obviously not the healthiest food to eat but they sure taste good!
