Hey guys! Just a simple outfit post coming at ya today :) As we've mentioned in a couple of our instagrams, we took pictures in a bunch of our current favorite outfits recently and are excited to share them with you guys! Fall fashion is the best :) That being said, we kind of feel like outfit posts are so "fake" and we feel kind of annoying doing them at the same time haha.
Liiiike in the picture above for example! Just casually laughing at nothing at all while obviously trying to still pose and look skinny for a picture (insert eye roll emoji).
Sometimes we get annoyed with girls on Instagram trying so hard to look cute, while pushing clothes/products/services on us, and pretending like their lives are perfect. Then we're like...wait, that's kind of us! Oh no!
We're all just trying to feel cute, and be happy aren't we? Nobody is perfect, everybody has problems! It's important to rememeber that COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY! We hope to inspire you with cute outfit ideas, fun recipes and other things that make us happy :) We DON'T want to try to come off as perfect and we don't want to be annoying, but we also don't want to post pictures of us in real life looking looking like a hot mess! Ha
ANYWAYS, we just thought we'd put that out there because we really needed a reminder for OURSELVES when scrolling through blogs and pretty Instagram accounts. It's hard sometimes to remember to just be inspired by what you see on social media, and not to start comparing yourself to WHO you see on there. We all have trials for a reason to help us learn, grow and be shaped into the person we're meant to be. Although it's so HARD sometimes, let's try to be grateful and look for the meaning, lessons and sometimes even BLESSINGS in our trials instead of feeling down, jealous, and comparing our lives to others.
Hope you're all having a great week!
Transition to Fall with Madewell
Oh hey! (Insert hand wave emoji). It's been a while since we've done an outfit post! With Fall finally here (or cute outfit season) and Madewell having a big sale this weekend, we thought it was the perfect time!
If we don't say so ourselves, how cute are both of our tops?? :) You can get them both at (you guessed it) Madewell, and they are having a sale through the weekend for 20% off $100 and 30% off $200!
Also, if you STILL haven't gotten yourself a pair of high waisted denim, just trust us and buy some already. They will make your legs look sky high and skinnier than they really are. Need we say anything else?
Also, Regan's cute watch is from Arvo!
We love their watches. So elegant and simple :) Scroll to the bottom for links to our whole outfits!
Burgundy Birks
I jumped on the Birkenstock train a couple weeks ago when I saw this cute burgundy pair in a store and I have to say, I GET IT.
Why I waited so long to get a pair of these magical sandals that make you feel like you're walking on clouds...I have no idea.
I will also say, I've seen a few pairs that were little manly looking (sorry not sorry), and I think that made me a little skeptical. Also the fact that I'm not hipster enough, but let's just pretend I'm a hipster when I wear these, k?
Summer's basically over, but that won't stop me from taking every last chance to wear sandals that I can get before it's boot season (or Ugg season for me) forever. And by forever I mean March 2018 which seems like a VERY long ways away. Thank you Utah.
This burgundy color makes these Birks the perfect transition from sandals to fall booties and I am in love! Scroll down for all outfit details, including my baseball hat that matches perfectly.
Side note: my husband won't let me rock any team EXCEPT for San Diego, so that means I've made it my goal to own this hat in every color - find them all below. San Diego fans, you're welcome.
Autumn Neutrals
One of the greatest things about living in Utah is experiencing the changes in seasons! Fall is most definitely the prettiest time of year in our opinion.
One of the reasons the change in seasons is so fun is because we get to change out our wardrobes with each season! Wearing neutral colors and transitional shoes is a great way to start to transition your wardrobe into fall.
Anthropologie has some great pieces that can be paired with so many different things!
Paige's navy & cream skirt (unfortunately not available anymore, but we linked a similar one) is so comfortable and can easily be dressed up or down. Regan's olive green vest is the perfect layering piece for the warmer fall months, and she paired it with one if her more summery tops (which is currently on sale for under $20!) - gotta get as much use out of those summer clothes as possible before it's too cold!
P.S. Regan's faux leather tote is a new favorite for fall - it's reversible from brown to black, and is under $50! All of our outfit details are linked at the bottom of this post :)
Healthy Banana Peach Muffins Recipe
2 c whole wheat flour
¾ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1-2 ripe bananas
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 TBS honey
½ c plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 c almond milk
1 Peach, diced
1) Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly coat a 12 standard-sized muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.
2) In a medium bowl, whisk together ingredients. Gently fold in the peaches or add them to the tops of the muffins before baking
3) Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, and bake at 350°F for 20-30minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
The Perfect Fall Flannel
You know we love our flannels! We've talked about them before and shared two of our favorite ways to wear them HERE, but we're back with another post on this wardrobe staple because…FALL! What better time to bust out a flannel than the season of crisp air, colorful leaves, and PUMPKIN everything?? Plus, we just found the perfect one that's a new MUST-have in our opinion, and wanted to share it with our readers :)
The flannel we're both wearing in this post is a new one from BP that we're so in love with. It easily rivals the expensive Rails and other to die for name brand flannels out right now, but is only a fraction of the price!
This flannel fits great (not too boxy), is super soft and comfy, and is such a great price you don't even have to limit yourself to one color… it comes in 6! (We may end up with them all)
Thanks for reading, and if you take the advice and purchase one or two (or five) of these babies we hope you love it as much as we do! Flannels and full outfits linked below :)
Paige: Flannel | Denim | Top | Shoes (similar) | Necklace | Watch
Regan: Flannel | Denim | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses | Watch | Bracelets (here,here)
Shabby Apple
Hello fall dresses! We're so excited to be doing another little collaboration with one of our all time favorite boutiques…Shabby Apple! We thought it'd be perfect to post about them as we're coming up on the holiday season, because their clothes are so cute and unique and would make the perfect gift for almost any woman! Even Sidney (miss jeans and T-shirt) loves their dresses. Paige can still shop there too and still look cute (and she's huge!) haha jk ;)
Anyways, scroll to the bottom of this post for direct links to all three of our dresses, and head over to our Instagram account for a chance to win $100 to shop their store. Hope you're all having a great week!
Thanks for stopping by!

Plaid
Hi! Regan here :) Happy November! Halloween was great and all, but bring on Thanksgiving & Christmas season! I do love my fall decorations though - and I'm definitely a "it's not Christmas until the turkey's been eaten" kind of a girl, so you won't see Christmas decor in my house until November 27th ;-) However, that's not to say I'm too stubborn to listen to the occasional Christmas song. You better believe I had Justin Bieber Christmas station blasting on our 9 hour drive home from CA last weekend ;-)
I'm also so excited it's November because my husband and I break ground on our very first home this month!! I will be sure to post a few updates of the building process along the way. We are so excited! But for now....here's a little fall fashion inspo for you featuring my new favorite plaid blouse <3 All outfit details are directly linked at the bottom of this post.
Booties
Hope you all are having a great week. It's boot season! Woohoo! To brighten it up a little, we wanted to share one of our favorite new places to shop for shoes, and the best place to find cute fall booties for cheap! Off Broadway Shoes has TONS of cute, brand name shoes for way less than what you'd pay in stores. Check them out and get shopping! You're welcome :)

Fall Tunics
Hi! Regan here :) This past weekend was spent up in the gorgeous mountains of Park City, Utah watching LDS Conference (one of my favorite weekends of the year!). It was so pretty up there with all the fall colors! Paige, Sidney, and I spent Saturday and Sunday up there with our hubby's (and Sidney's boyfriend). On Sunday morning we made a yummy breakfast, and just lounged in our PJ's while watching #LDSConf.
When I tried this
on at Anthropologie, I knew it would be a staple for this fall! It's really comfortable and the material is so soft! I've already worn it like five times, haha. Oh, and these
sunglasses! We've been getting all of our designer sunglasses lately through Ditto! Instead of dropping $100-$200 on
one
pair of sunnies (or prescription eyewear!), rent your favorite pair, then switch them out for new ones anytime you want! Sign up today using code 'SALTYBLONDES' and try it out for one month FREE! They are always updating their website with the latest brands and styles and we just can't get enough!
