We made the cutest fall treat the other day with the kids – it was these baked cinnamon apple rings. It was a fun family activity and they tasted so good! Here’s the recipe so you can try at home.

BAKED CINNAMON APPLE RINGS RECIPE

INGREDIENTS: 

* Puff pastry 

* 4 Apples (gala tastes the best! first time we did granny smith and it wasn’t as sweet – gala is sweeter 🙂 )

* 1/4 cup of Sugar

* 2 tsp ground cinnamon

* 1/8 tsp Ground nutmeg

* 1 egg beaten

DIRECTION

1. Peel, slice apples into rounds, core center
2. Unfold puff pastry, roll it out a little, cut into strips
3. Mix the cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg in a shallow dish and set aside.
4. Pat the apple slices dry with a paper towel and dust w/cinnamon sugar.
5. Wrap puff pastry strips around each apple ring.
6. Brush the wrapped apple rings with egg wash.
7. Dip or sprinkle rings into cinnamon sugar. (we drizzled maple syrup over to add some sweetness but don’t have to)

Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes until puff pastry is flaky and light golden brown.

We’ve had quite a few weddings this year, I love getting dressed up and will take every opportunity to wear or try on a beautiful dresses, and wedding are the perfect excuse. I know finding the perfect wedding guest dress can be a challenge so I’m hear to help! We had my nephew’s wedding last week and I filmed a try-on haul with some of my favorites and also rounded up a few other wedding guest dresses that would work for multiple types of fall weddings.

MOUNTAIN RESORT / OUTDOOR FALL WEDDING

MOUNTAIN RESORT/ OUTDOOR WEDDING: BURGUNDY MOCK-NECK DRESS (UNDER $100 – CODE CHRISTINE20 gets you 20% off your first order) | GUCCI HEELS | GUCCI CLUTCH

The rich jewel tone of this dress immediately caught my eye, it also comes in a beautiful blue and 7 other colors, under $100.

BLACK TIE WEDDING

Black tie is the best excuse to go all out – it’s the most formal  so stick to floor length. I love the lines on this dress – it feels so polished but still feminine and shows just enough skin for fall.

FLORAL STRAPLESS GOWN (wearing size 4 – CODE CHRISTINE20 gets you 20% off your first order)

This dress is one of my favorite buys all year. It flows so beautifully and the florals are subtle and feminine. Im wearing a size: 4. Also the product picture looks way lighter online than it is in real life. If you look at the reviews you can see it’s more this tone 🙂

CITY SOIREE OR COCKTAIL WEDDING GUEST DRESS:

CITY SOIREE OR COCKTAIL WEDDING GUEST DRESS: BLACK RUFFLED SLIT DRESS (UNDER $100) | ROSE HEELS (UNDER $50) | BLACK DIOR BAG

It’s kind of hard to tell in pics – but this one has ruffles down the slit and is perfect for an evening wedding in the city or cocktail event.

DESTINATION WEDDING GUEST DRESS:

DESTINATION / BEACH WEDDING: BLUE MIDI DRESS (CODE CHRISTINE20 gets you 20% off your first order)

| BUTTERFLY HEELS | MINI CROSSBODY

Destination or beach weddings usually have a laidback feel that calls for slightly shorter hems, flowy fabrics, and fun shoes. I love the lower back on this one – it’s under $100 and comes in 5 colors. Also these butterfly heels are SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Here are a few more wedding guest dresses that could work for multiple fall weddings:

I feel like my beauty routine has evolved over the years – I used to love having tons of palettes and lip colors to choose from, playing with different beauty looks every day, going all out when I had a MUA doing my looks. But now I find myself a lot more simplied in my routine and reaching for the same products over and over.

Since all of my products are on sale at Sephora right now, I wanted to share my current beauty lineup and makeup faves:

1. Moisturizer: When I’m wearing makeup this is my go to. What’s really unique about this one compared to my other favorite moisturizers is that it smooths and almost doubles as a primer. It’s super hydrating and smooth as butter. Feels so good on your skin! Great price point too, especially compared to some of the really high-end moisturizers I love – this one is under $100
2. Highlighter: This one gives the prettiest dewy finish! I dab a tiny bit on my fingers and then tap onto my cheekbones lightly to apply or you can put one pump in with your foundation – A little bit goes a long way. I use star glow shade.
3. Foundation:  last winter I tried this foundation for the first time and it instantly won me over. It melts into your skin perfectly, blends amazing, and you only need a single pump for your whole face – maybe less. It’s good coverage but doesn’t go on thick. Honestly I think it’s the holy grail of foundation. I wear shade 11N in the winter and just bought my summer shade – 120.
4. Blush: I’ve been using this blush and it’s worth all they hype. I wear shade “Joy” and “Happy”. They blend so well and are the prettiest shades for that youthful, feminine glow Also love this blush wand.I have also doubled and used for lipstick too 😉
5. Foundation Brush: This is the best brush! I picked this up when I got the corresponding foundation. It has one end for building and the other for blending so you have great control when applying.
6. Bronzer: Another new product that I was instantly converted to. Love how natural this bronzer goes on!
7. Dior Palette: Palettes are so iffy for me – I feel like I’ll be obsessed with one for a few months and then move on to the new hot palette, so on and so on. But I’ve had been using this one for years and it’s still my go-to. Prettiest colors and blends so well.
8. Finishing Powder: This powder is everrrrything! A holy grail product for me. It blurs all your pores, smooths out any blemishes, and just makes your skin flawless – just like it’s name says. I wear shade 1.
9. Mascara: This mascara goes on so smooth and doesn’t transfer which is the biggest thing for me, especially as we head into spring/summer. Love the wand to help keep lashes separate while it lifts and lengthens.
10. Dior Lip Oil: Love this gloss – comes in multiple shades and it has a moisturizing finish. Feels super luxe and lasts for hours.

Guys I’m so excited to share I’m designing a collection with Amazon! You guys know how much I love hunting for good amazon finds, it was so fun getting to work with them to design my own collection. It will only be live for 30 hours so make sure to sign up for SMS notifications here so don’t miss the chance to shop it.

It’s been a minute since I’ve gotten to do some designing! Those of you guys who have been following for a long time probably remember my clothing line, ILY Couture. I actually started ILY before I even started my blog. It originally started after I made my own wedding hair piece and started selling them, then I made our viral ‘wifey’ tee, then when I was pregnant with Beckam it was the Preggers tee followed by all our Mom pieces. I really loved having my own line and being able to be creative and also basically source or create pieces that I wanted that I couldn’t find anywhere else.

As my blog and influencer platform took off, I felt torn in too many different directions – between ILY, the blog, and trying to be present with the kids and family, I felt like I was being spread too thin.

I realized I was more passionate about creating content and connecting with my community. I’ve always believed in following your passions, and even though at the time Ily was a more stable job than being an influencer, I just loved the influencer side more. It was sad to see everything we had built come to an end but even years later I still feel like I made the right decision.

One of the things I miss the most with Ily is the creative side and the ability to basically design or create pieces that I can envision perfectly in my mind but can’t find anywhere else available to purchase.

So when Amazon reached out about an opportunity to do a Drop collection with them I was so excited! It was the perfect opportunity to scratch that itch and be able to design some new pieces that I felt were missing from my wardrobe. And the icing on the cake – I got to do a collection for fall!! My absolute favorite style season. I’m so excited about how the prints and pieces came together! I’ve shared a few sneak peeks on instagram here, here and here.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! My drop with Amazon is THIS WEEK, November 2nd.  I’ll be sharing some of my favorite pieces from the collection and a bunch of styling ideas, dressed up and down, leading up to the launch. It will only be live for 30 hours so make sure to sign up for SMS notifications here so don’t miss the chance to shop it.

Thank you guys who have been following along throughout my journey and to those who remember the ILY days. It means so much to me that you’re here. ❤️ Can’t wait to share this collection with you!

The Fall Amazon Prime Day event runs today and tomorrow and has so many great pieces to get you on track for fall, whether in fashion trends, beauty must-haves, home finds and more. I’ll be sharing it some of my favorites from the Prime Event on my IG and stories, plus styling ideas, but also wanted to start off sharing some of the pieces I already have and love that will be on major sale. A lot of these pieces sold out early last year so I would pull the trigger quick to make sure you get your size.

Everyone probably has a shacket in their fall line up by now, but this faux leather shacket is on a whole new level. It’s such an easy way to bring a new texture into even the simplest look, like leggings or denim.  Wearing a size L here for an oversized fit.

This creamy chocolate color is dominating my closet this season already and I’m not slowing down. It reads so expensive/high-end and makes your closet combinations endless since you can mix these brown and tan tones for infinite possibilities, whether mixing tones or going for a more monochromatic look. Wearing size XS in these leggings – also got the black.

This vest was one of my favorite pieces last year – it was sold out most of the season but it’s back and fully stocked right now and comes in 7 colors. I’m wearing size medium here and love the oversized fit.

Here are the leggings again in black. Love them paired with high top converse!

This brand has gone viral the past two winters and now they have a bunch of their down coats up to 30% off right now for the Fall Amazon Prime Day Event. I got this coat in tan and black last year and love the soft sherpa detail! And how cute is this matching kids one? This is the other coat that went viral. They are amazing quality, super warm, and come in multiple colors. Must-have winter coat!

This was one of my favorite organization buys that still makes me smile every time I see it. Every time anyone from my family or a friend sees it they have asked out it – anyone who uses ziploc baggies will love it.

CREAM KNIT PULLOVER – Love this knit sweater! Comes in 9 colors.

ZIPLOC DRAWER ORGANIZER – This would make a great housewarming or gift idea – once you get it you wonder how you ever lived without it. Such an easy way to get organized.

TAN BLAZER – Tis this season for blazers over pretty much everything! Love this tailored blazer look – comes in multiple colors and it’s super versatile.

WHITE SUITCASE – I am always on the hunt for a good suitcase – this one gets great reviews and comes in multiple colors and sizes.

ELEMIS CLEANSING BALM – If you aren’t double cleansing (with this cleansing balm!) what are you even doing. 🤪 But really, it makes such a difference! Definitely recommend trying if you haven’t yet.

GOLD FLOWER EARRINGS – These look so much more $$ than they actually are. Such a pretty statement earring for the holidays!

OLAPLEX – This cult hair brand is on sale too. Great excuse to try it out if you haven’t yet!

WHITE FAUX FUR BLANKET – Nothing like a cozy throw to embrace fall. Just as a cute mug in front of the fireplace and I’ll be set all season. This one is super soft and comes in multiple colors and sizes.

SHERPA/PUFFER COAT – This viral winter coat is worth the hype. Comes in tons of colors and has matching kids coats here.

GOLD HOOPS – My go-to gold hoops are on sale

TAN ANKLE BOOTS – This suede ankle boot will go with everything. Great fall shoe staple and it’s in sale ___

AIRPODS – I have the worst luck with my airpods, either losing them or breaking one of them, etc. So I don’t feel as guilty replacing them when they are in sale.

ELEMIS CLEANSER – This is one of my favorite cleansers. I also love their cleansing balms. Stocking up on this one.

LANIEGE LIP BALM – These are my favorite lip balm – buying one for me and multiple as stocking stuffers!

FAUX LEATHER BAG – Tons of great staple bags on sale for the Prime Event. Love the shape of this one.

TAN SLIPPERS – Why do I feel like I can never have enough slippers? I live in them around the house all year long and love sliding into a fresh, fluffy new pair.

RIBBED KNIT PANTS – These are the best fall loungewear sets and come in so many colors so you could really live in them all fall.

OLAPLEX  (NO 4, NO 5, NO 8): I’ve been using these for years. My favorite shampoo and condition, hands down.

OLAPLEX TRAVEL KIT: I already added this one to my cart – it will cut my beauty travel bag in half haha.

HOT AIR BRUSH | GHD CURLING IRON | GHD STRAIGHTENER: Heat tools are one of those products you don’t want to go cheap on or you’re more likely to damage your hair. Love GHD products and these hot air brushes are AMAZING if you haven’t tried them yet!

LIVING PROOF TEXTURE SPRAY & DRY SHAMPOO: Texture spray is my #1 fave product when I’m trying to go full volume. Another great brand included in the Fall Amazon Prime Day Sale.

ANASTASIA BROW PENCIL: Another cult favorite on sale!

STILA EYELINER: For those bold winged liner looks this fall.

ELEMIS CLEANSER & ELEMIS ELIXIR & ELEMIS CLEANSING BALM: One of my long-time fave beauty brands – these are 3 of my favorite products by them.

VITAMIN C: Heard amazing things about this brand! Quality Vitamin C can get $$ so it’s a great time to save.

FACIAL CLEANSING DEVICE: Love this for a deep clean.

LANIEGE LIP BALM & LANIEGE LIP MASK: My favorite lip mask! Great stocking stuffer too.

BLACK TRENCH – I’m predicting trenches will be the biggest fall layer trend this year and I’m so hear for it. This one comes in 4 pretty sizes. I would size up for a slightly oversized fit.

GHD CURLING IRON – If it’s time to trade in your old curling iron, this brand is amazing at hair tools.

BLACK ANKLE BOOT – Great staple boot and comes in 7 colors.

ORIBE SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER – Already added to cart. Been using these for years so I’m stocking up while they are on sale.

BLACK CROSSBODY BAG – Cute, versatile fall bag and a great price point.

BLACK BLAZER – Another fall staple – a tailored blazer.

HOT AIR BRUSH – Greatest hair tool invention – love the volume you can get with these!

BLACK SLIT LEGGINGS – Love the little slit detail to upgrade a simple black legging – they look 10x more expensive.

STILA EVELINER – For those bold winged liner looks this fall.

TOWEL SCRUNCHIES – I thought these were so cute. They are a towel material and a great way to get your hair out of your face while you’re getting ready.

BLACK HALF ZIP – I can’t get enough of half-zip pullovers this season. This one is a great price – I have it in white.

BLACK SLIPPERS – I’ll never get sick of slippers in the fall 🙂

LEATHER JACKET – This seasons leather jackets are either cropped or fully oversized – slight differences but love how it changes the whole vibe!

BEATS HEADPHONES – I love my airpods but I’m also so glad these full headphones are making a comeback. They are so comfortable!

AIRFRYER – My saving grace in the kitchen haha. Air fryers make cooking 10x easier and faster.

I’ll be sharing more of my sale faves and ways to style them on @christineandrew today so tune in for more Amazon Prime Day Picks!

WALMART MEMBERSHIP | CONVERSE | HAIR CLIP | DENIM JACKET (SIMILAR)

We all know gas prices are crazy right now. So I’m all about savings where I can! With 4 kids, we have a big SUV and carpooling them all over town adds up, but did you know that a lot of Walmart locations also have gas stations? I knew that Walmart had gas stations but I didn’t realize that with your Walmart+ membership it actually works at a bunch of other gas stations too (over 14k stations nationwide). You can save up to $.10 a gallon depending on which station you’re at which basically pays for your membership after a month or two if your a carpool mom like me or taking any summer roadtrips  🙂

It’s super easy to use. On the Walmart app you can pull up a map and it shows you all the gas stations by you that are eligible for the discount, then scan your barcode at the pump, and wala your saving $$! I was already using Walmart+ for free grocery delivery, so I was excited about the fuel benefit now too!

Have you guys tried out Walmart+?

I seriously can’t believe it is already time to be thinking about back to school for the kids! Where did time go?? I always get so excited for back to school shopping, even as a kid I always looked forward to picking out cute pens, notebooks and markers 🥰  I did one run to Walmart and got a haul of essentials for the kids. They have SO much stuff under a $1. It was such a good deal.

Beckam Shirt / Wes Shirt

My family is so competitive and we love turning everything into a game haha!  So I didn’t tell the kids the prices of the school supplies, and we had them order the under $1 school supplies in order from least to most expensive.  It was so funny to watch…check out my Instagram to see who won! 😉

I’m amazed how cute school supplies are these days. How fun are those little erasers?!  (I got the smaller pack for a $1 in store!) And the shark pencil holder Beckam picked out cracks me up.  I love how each kid can kind of choose their supplies to match their styles and personalities!  Some of my favorite fun speciality items we found were: scented glue sticks, colors of kindness markers, and scented gel pens.

Some of the best Under $1 supplies we found were: scissors, markers, crayons, notebook & glue sticks.

While I was getting their school supplies, I found some cute shorts and tops for the boys. They have both grown so much this summer – I grabbed a couple pairs of athletic shorts. These are like a nylon material so super light weight, some cargo shorts, and then some cotton shorts with zip pockets. My boys love anything with lots of pockets, (I always find lots of random treasures when I’m doing laundry haha)! Every piece was under $15!
