Fall Sweater Trends - Lace Up Detail

One of my favorite trends this year is Lace-Up everything! The lace up detail can be found on skirts, pants, tops and my fav - cozy sweaters!

My sweater has the lace up detail down the back, this exact sweater can be found a Blush Boutique. I also linked a few similar sweaters below if Blush is out of stock. Daphnie's sweater by Guess has the lace ups on the sides, with grommets which is so cute, it is linked below!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you follow us on Instagram, you have likely seen the video I posted earlier this week about Carissa, a beautiful little girl who not only suffers from an extreme case of Eczema, but was terribly bullied for the way her skin looked. She said herself that she 'felt like a monster' which absolutely breaks my heart.

After reading about and hearing Cariss's story (read more here), I knew we wanted to help and get involved.

 Carissa received three-week-long treatments for three consecutive years where she just finished her last cycle. While Eczema does not have a cure, Carissa has been doing great and is now able to manage her flare-ups with a regimen of Avene products at home.

How you can help:

Avene is donating 100% of proceeds received from purchases of the 'Kindness is Power' tote bag & product kits to the Kind Campaign. The products in the kit are inspired by Carissa's regimen.  The Kind Campaign's mission is to bring awareness and healing to the negative and lasting affects of girl-against-girl bullying.

I have used all of the products included in our kit and they are amazing. They are very hydrating but without feeling sticky. The Avene Thermal Spring Water is so refreshing; I spritz it on my face when I need a boost of hydration. Daphnie really likes the XeraCalm A.D. Lipid-Replenishing Creme, she's been using it on her hands as often as possible {like after every hand wash}. Lastly the kit includes the XeraCalm A.D. Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil which is an amazing cleanser that is perfect for sensitive skin.

What Daphnie Wore: Pumpkin Picking

The second we saw this sweater dress by Cat & Jack at Target, I knew she had to have it! It's the cutest. The zipper 'mouth' opens up and is a purple pocket. AND it has pockets! 

Daphnie paired it perfectly with these cute emoji shoes by Steve Madden.
