TRENDING: SHERPA EVERYTHING AND AN EASY OUTFIT

Dec 13, 2021style + outfits

Have you guys noticed all the sherpa clothing and accessory options, lately? They seem to be popping up all over and I’m here for it. Love the texture and casualness of it and am always reaching for my sherpa jacket this time of year. While I have serious doubts about how well it would hold up on shoes (ordered these as a trial) I couldn’t resist this sherpa purse at Free People.

If you’re feeling a little blah about your winter uniform, instead of buying all new stuff, just add in a fun purse to mix things up. Life is way too short to be bored and not do anything about it!

TOTE BAG (option here, here, here, + diaper bag here) / JEANS / BOOTS (similar) / SWEATER (from J.Crew, see notes below!)

A few notes on this sweater since I take my job as your personal stylist (self imposed title, lol), very seriously. I’ve been on the hunt for a good gray cardigan all season and wanted so bad for this one to be it. Here are the pros: the color is beautiful, the material lovely, the weight is perfect, and so is the “v” of the Cardigan. Now for the cons: the length isn’t the best (not horrible but not good) and there’s nothing giving it shape towards the bottom so it looks frumpy unless you’re in motion or bunching it up. Sigh. Sadly she’ll be going back. I’ll report back if I find another option!

Forgot to mention, I got a little chop-chop! Asked for a blunt cut and she gave me some under layers (so my hair doesn’t poof) and am loving it! What do you think!?

Would also love to know, what holes do you have in your winter closet!? What style posts would you like to see in the new year!?

xo, Rae

P.S. – more sherpa here!

Just a reminder to play the long game ๐Ÿ–ค parent Just a reminder to play the long game ๐Ÿ–ค parent their hearts, enjoy their company, encourage their dreams, be a soft place to fail, and grow along side them. Parenthood is messy and incredibly challenging, but easily the most important and deeply rewarding thing I will ever do ๐Ÿ–ค Feeling thankful (for it alllll) and a little sentimental after a weekend with Ozzie (and a couple friends) home. Nothing better.
BETTER THAN TAKEOUT CHICKEN PAD THAI ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿค made BETTER THAN TAKEOUT CHICKEN PAD THAI ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿค made with healthy ingredients, lots of love, and good mems in the kitchen. (RECIPE BELOW OR USE LINK IN BIO)

YOUโ€™LL NEED:
avocado oil, as needed for cooking
1-1/2 pounds chicken breast or tenders, thinly sliced (like you would for stir fry or fajitas)
1 package dried pad thai rice noodles, cooked to package directions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, sliced
2 eggs, gently whisked
1 cup bean sprouts (plus more for topping)
1/2 cup firm tofu, cut into bite sized pieces (optional IMO)
1/4 cup garlic chives, cut to inch size pieces
1/4 cup peanuts, roughly chopped (plus more for topping)
2 limes, cut into wedges for serving
ground chilli or cayenne pepper, to taste (for those that want extra stars โ€“ optional)
1/2 cup pad thai sauce* (see note)
HEREโ€™S HOW:
Prep toppings, as desired, setting aside bean sprouts, peanuts, and lime wedges.
Heat avocado oil over medium-high heat and sautรฉ onions and garlic for a few minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add chicken. Cook most of the way through. Move chicken mixture to one side of pan and pour egg into the other. Scramble before mixing everything together (like you would for fried rice). Cover and let sit while you prepare noodles.
Prepare noodles according to package directions. In a large pot, add noodles and avocado oil (to taste) and stir fry for a few minutes. Add bean sprouts, chicken mixture, tofu (if using), and sauce. Toss together until sauce is distributed evenly. Add chives and peanuts and toss gently.
Serve immediately with toppings of choice!
How do we feel about midi denim skirts as a winter How do we feel about midi denim skirts as a winter to spring (and pretty much year round) staple?! ๐Ÿ‘–๐Ÿ‘—๐Ÿค itโ€™s a yes for me!

Mondays are for stocking the pantry! And since our Mondays are for stocking the pantry! And since our bins and labels needed a refresh, I thought Iโ€™d share the process ๐Ÿ˜‹ We organized our pantry about a year and a half ago (with the help of @finding.order ) and have never looked back! I was nervous about my ability to stay on top of things but have found that it makes grocery shopping and cooking so much easier because you can actually see what you have and what needs to be restocked. Anywho, Iโ€™ll link to sources in my bio and stories for anyone interested in details ๐Ÿ–ค let me know if you have any questions!
