A Frozen Halloween.

My favorite holiday is now officially here...Happy Halloween everyone!  I've been dying to share these photos of our costumes, which were taken by the insanely talented Alex Wright Photography.  In case you didn't know, my whole family is obsessed with this holiday and each year we dress up as a group (you can see some of our past costumes here).  Last year Alex took the photos of our Batman themed costumes and I was so impressed with the way she perfectly captured everything, I knew I needed her to work her magic again this year!  

For this Halloween we decided to dress up as characters from the Disney movie "Frozen".  If you have kids, you probably have the entire soundtrack engrained in your head.  If not, I'm guessing you still know what it is (unless you live under a rock).  My daughter is dressed as Queen Elsa, I'm dressed as Princess Anna, Emery is Kristoff, and my son is Olaf.  I handmade the Kristoff and Anna costumes, but I ended up just purchasing the Elsa and Olaf costumes. 

Since the story is based around snow, we decided to take a mini road-trip and head out to the Bonneville Salt Flats.  It was the perfect place for a "Frozen" photoshoot and the kids had so much fun running around (and getting dirty) in all the salt! I'm so incredibly happy with the way these pictures turned out...yet again Alex exceeded my expectations!  I can't stress enough how much I recommend booking a session with this photographer.  Alex is super affordable and knows what she's doing.  Make sure to check out her website and you can also find her on Facebook!

Sorry for the picture overload...I just can't help it.

Have a Happy Halloween! Stay safe and don't eat too much candy!

Autumn Colors

Here in Utah, the leaves have been getting more colorful each day.  I absolutely love looking around my neighborhood and seeing the trees covered in gorgeous hues of orange, yellow and red.  Fall colors just make me happy!  

Isn't this beautiful patterned sweater just the perfect complement to the changing Autumn background?  I don't have a lot of colorful cardigans, but I've discovered that they really add some fun detail to an otherwise plain outfit.  I definitely need some more patterns in my life!  J.Jill has so many cute sweaters this season and they are such great quality...I've started to become more interested in getting pieces that will last, instead of just buying cheap items that fall apart after a few wears.  However, the most important thing when it comes to sweaters is the cozy factor.  J.Jill definitely passed that test, because I just want to snuggle up in my cardigan all night long!

I hope everyone is having a great week and getting excited for Halloween! Also, I want to thank you all for the overwhelming response to my previous post.  I received so many sweet comments, e-mails and texts...it made me super happy to feel so much support and love!  I think our generation is slowly starting to change our views on beauty standards/body image and your comments are certainly proof of that!  Thank you friends!
