Every day is an opportunity to be styled.
As much as I love being out and about, I’m honestly a homebody. After a long day there is nothing I’d rather do than curl up on the couch and watch a movie. Being such a fan of Fall (who isn’t?!), I love putting up festive decor to create an even cozier atmosphere to relax in. Since I’m seriously obsessed with how my mantel turned out this season, I had to share! Hopefully this post inspires you to put up some of your own festive pieces.
Confession: I could pretty much wear a maxi dress every single day! Anyone with me?! They are just so comfy and perfect for days where it’s not super hot, but not cold! It may be Fall, but I guarantee you that I will rock this black one well into November #CaliforniaProblems.
Just when it started feeling more like Fall, Mother Nature decided to crank the heat back up! I know this weather situation leaves many ladies in a dilemma! You want to look Fall appropriate, but also don’t want to be sweating!
While Fall trends change every year, one trend that is here to stay is wearing white! That’s right…white after Labor Day! I have to say that at first I was hesitant about this one, but after I tried it last year, there was no turning back!

The first day of Fall is finally here and I could not be more excited! Fall fashion may just be my absolute favorite! I love layering and don’t even get me started on the Fall color palette…obsessed! I have so many fun Fall posts coming soon, but today I had to share some of my fave clothing items for the season! Many of these items are under $50 and can be styled in several ways!
I’ve been going on and on about how excited I am for Fall over on Instagram (@mystyledlife_) and now that we are less than two weeks away from the first day of Autumn, I’m finally sharing my first Fall look! Since we are in that “in-between” time where it’s not really Summer anymore, but not Fall quite yet, I’m calling this my transitional outfit.
One of my favorite places to visit during the holiday season is Disneyland. Well, I actually love visiting year round, but especially this time of year. The festive decorations put me in a happy holiday mood and I look forward to seeing them every year. For those planning to visit Disneyland this holiday season, I wanted to provide you with my “Disneyland Christmas 2018 Guide.” Keep reading to be in the know for your next trip.
This year, Holidays at the Disneyland Resort go on from November 9, 2018 until January 6, 2019. The celebration goes on in both the Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure. However, in this guide, I’m focusing solely on Disneyland. Let me know if you want to see a guide for the other park.
Let me tell you…the holiday merchandise this year is SO cute! The ears above are actually from last year, but Disneyland is selling a very similar plaid set this year. From festive mugs and plates to stuffed animals, I found so many items I loved. I recommend shopping at the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A. as well as the Pioneer Mercantile in Frontierland and the Main Street Photo Supply Co. These always seem to have the most festive items.
I have a feeling that many of you are interested in this topic alone. In recent years, Disney has done an amazing job whipping up yummy, festive treats. Two of my “must-try” food items include the Candy Cane Donuts and the Hand-pulled Candy Canes. The donuts are covered in chocolate and sprinkled with crushed candy canes, making them extra delish.
As for the candy canes, Disneyland is actually known for them. They are handmade in the Disney parks and each season they sell a limited quantities of them. I’m planning on getting a couple this season. When I do, I’ll try to create a blog post all about it.
For other holiday food items, check this out.
One of my favorite parts about the holiday season at Disneyland is the “Christmas Fantasy Parade.” The floats and the music will put you in the holiday spirit. Even as an adult, I love it. I recommend arriving early to get a good spot to watch the parade. Viewing areas are located on Main Street, U.S.A. as well as near the It’s a Small World and Matterhorn Bobsleds attractions.
As for fireworks, these too are transformed for the season. The “Believe…In Holiday Magic” Fireworks Spectacular lasts 15 minutes and even involves a magical snowfall when you are near It’s a Small World, Main Street, U.S.A., and the Rivers of America. The fireworks occur every night at 9:30 pm, however, they are subject to weather conditions.
While there is holiday decor throughout Disneyland, there are two rides specifically decorated for the season. I’m sure many of you are familiar with the first, which is the Haunted Mansion. From late September until early January, this attraction transforms into The Nightmare Before Christmas. Personally, I like it better when it is decorated this way.
The other holiday ride is It’s a Small World. I always have to go on this attraction at least once per holiday season.
You truly can’t beat taking photos in front of the castle. However, I also love to take a picture in front of the huge tree on Main Street, U.S.A. Looking for a more unique spot? Head over to It’s a Small World for bright colors or Frontierland for rustic holiday charm. New Orleans Square is another fun photo spot!
And that’s it! I hope you found this guide helpful! I love Disneyland at this time of year and I know you will too.
Also, don’t forget to walk through Downtown Disney. There is a huge Christmas tree and so many beautiful decorations to see!
Thanks for reading! Leave any questions you have below.

With Thanksgiving now over, I’m in full-on holiday mode! Since I’m sure many of you are taking part in Black Friday shopping today, I wanted to share the best Black Friday Deals that I found this year. Above of some super cute picks I had to highlight. Below are some of my other top picks + a list of the best sales out there for clothing, beauty, jewelry, and home decor.
Over the past few months, I have been busier than ever. I balance blogging, being a full-time MBA student, and working — well, interning — a couple days a week. You can say life has been a little crazy! However, in my quest to balance it all, I’ve learned a few things. Since I’m sure some of you are in similar situations with the various things you have going on, I wanted to share my tips!
As a full-time MBA student and blogger, my life can get pretty busy and even stressful at times. However, when I do catch a few hours to take time for myself, my pamper session always involves a face mask. Most recently, I’ve been trying out the new Olay Clay Stick Mask – Pore Detox. Since I’m loving how it makes my skin look and feel, I had to share it with you.
