Slouchy Knit Sweater & Minnetonka Mocs

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-slouchy-oversize-knit-sweater-minnetonka-el-paso-ii-moccasin-boho-outfit-4Happy Saturday, ladies! I hope you had a wonderful week and have something fun planned this weekend – whether that be meeting friends for coffee or relaxing at home, I hope you get to enjoy it! I’m excited to have dinner with a girlfriend tonight and tomorrow will be spending the day with my family (my nephew is turning one next week, ah! Where did the time go?!). Before the holiday madness begins, I’m doing my best to disconnect and be present with those around me. Come Black Friday y’all know I’ll be glued to my computer scoping out those holiday shopping deals, ha!

Until then, it’s fun to throw on a cozy, cute outfit and spend some time with old friends! As y’all know, I make sure whatever I’m wearing is comfortable when it comes to getting dressed everyday. It’s important for me to stick to the trends (that’s the fun part – hello slouchy sweater & those cute moccasins!), but I always keep comfort in the forefront of my mind. Perhaps it’s because I came from corporate life where I used to sit at a desk all day… and actually, I guess I’ve continued to do just that at my apartment or a coffeehouse even now, ha! That said, reaching for shoes that are super comfortable and ridiculously adorable is a definite DO for me! (…And should be for you, too! 😉 )

Blush Pink Cardigan & Reversible Tote Bag

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-cozy-fall-layers-dress-otk-boots-chunky-knit-cardigan-blush-pink-boho-outfit-9I don’t know about y’all, but I am a serious sucker for everything blush pink! Big fan of this trend – it’s just the perfect, feminine color! I think every week I bring more blush pink into our apartment…sorry Blake!! 😉 This cozy knit cardigan has been one of my favorite layering pieces this season, and it’s equally darling over a pretty burgundy shift dress with OTK boots and my go-to reversible tote bag.

Plaid Poncho & Burgundy Handbag

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-nordstrom-fall-outfit-grey-sweater-booties-madewell-plaid-poncho-rebecca-minkoff-regan-satchel-burgundy-oxblood-7Happy Tuesday, friends! 🙂 Today is a good day because it’s absolutely stunning outside and I actually made time to go for a run and enjoy it (truly, it’s a Christmas miracle, ha!) – and also because I’ve been practicing my latte art skills (new espresso machine thanks to our lovely wedding guests) and there’s currently a lopsided foam heart staring me in the face…and it tastes delicious, too. I’ve got a TedTalk playing as I write this (it’s this one – quite inspiring!), my windows are open so I can hear the breeze among the trees and the natural light is pouring in… I am content in the stillness and feeling grateful for this calm afternoon. Sometimes I dislike being alone so often (woes of working from home), but in moments like this, I am very happy and thankful.

I think the beautiful weather has a lot to do with todays mood boost. It’s been so wonderful to be outside lately, and that just seems to have such a positive impact on everyone in this city. With the crisp air and cooler temperatures comes more reason to try out fun, fall outfit options, and a plaid poncho layered over a light sweater makes for a perfect autumn look. Grab a gorgeous burgundy leather handbag and some fun sunglasses and you’re all set! So, let’s get to these outfit details…

Thermal Tee, Faux Fur Vest & Ankle Booties

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-fall-outfit-bb-dakota-sheerling-vest-cozy-fall-outfit-inspiration-ankle-booties-free-people-thermal-top-12Hello there! How was your weekend? Blake and I spent the past couple of days with friends from out of town and yesterday afternoon had the pleasure of attending a beautiful brunch wedding. I sort of fell in love with the “brunch wedding” concept…so much fun waking up and looking forward to a romantic occasion filled with mimosas, breakfast tacos and dancing by 2pm. The icing on the cake? I was asleep by 9pm, ha! I woke up today feeling so refreshed and happy that I was able to spend time with dear friends I love so much. Not to mention, weddings in general just make you feel good (and it was an outdoor event and Austin weather did not disappoint!), so it was a lovely escape from a weekend spent working (…as I normally do!). Thus, I am excited to start Monday on a high note and take on the day – I hope you’re feeling the same way, too!

As I mentioned last week, we’re finally experiencing fall temperatures here in Austin and I could not be more excited! This time of year calls for cozy vests that pair well with breezy thermal tees, jeans and of course, a fabulous pair of ankle booties… So, let’s get down to it, shall we? 😉

Travel Diary: Newport, Rhode Island & NYC!

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-newport-harbor-sailing-tripHey there, gals! How’s your week going? I’m writing this post from Las Vegas (we’re here for Blake’s cousins’ co-bach/bachelorette trip) – truth be told, Blake is sound asleep next to me (it’s noon..ha!) …let’s just say in the Blake vs. Vegas match, Vegas is winning haha. Thus, I figured I should take this moment of peace and quiet to share a roundup my last trip to Newport, Rhode Island and NYC!

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have noticed I spent a wonderful week hopping from Newport to NYC! I flew up to Newport to visit with the Brahmin Handbag team (their headquarters is about 30 minutes away from Newport) and meet with some other fabulous bloggers who also adore Brahmin as much as I do…and it was a total DREAM! …But more on that further into this post.. 😉

I had the such a wonderful week in both Rhode Island and New York, but am feeling inspired, refreshed and excited to get back to Austin – and above all, to see my sweetheart! Seriously dying for a cuddle sesh, ha!
