Fill the Cart Friday- AEO

Sitting here in sunny San Diego finishing up this post for your guys! You know I love me some American Eagle and there is a sale, online only, through this Saturday using the code OCTOBER. If you are new to Fill the Cart Fridays, I started them to help you fill up a cart from the same store since I post random outfits over on my IG account daily at @ladyandredstyle! So click the blue links below the photos, choose your size or color and simply add to your shopping cart! 

CABLE KNIT- Everyone loves a good sweater and this one comes in 6 colors and is perfect for layering a plaid shirt underneath!

DISTRESSED DENIM- These are a tad high rise and I think the destruction is perfect since it has the fabric still on it. Us Iowa gals need the extra warmth! Haha and I am pretty much a sucker for AE denim.

PLAID SHIRT- If you don't have one of these, a plaid shirt, in your closet, buy one now. This one is super soft and comes in 13 color choices. Great for layering over or under and yet so classic.

BALL CAP- Ummm for every Monday, Sunday or everyday in between. We all need a hat for those awful hair days! This one is super cute and also comes in 2 other graphic prints.

CHENILLE CARDI- The coziest cardi and comes in 3 neutral colors to go with everything this Fall and Winter season. Scoop one up before they are gone!

FAUX LEATHER JACKET- This wine color is so great to pair with anything basic to make it pop! It also comes in black if you don't already have a black one, buy black first because it will never go out of style!

Happy Friday! As always, I love feedback so let me know if you have any questions about these products or if you need help choosing an outfit! XOXO 

Fill the Cart Friday- Express

All good things come to those who wait...unlike me 😬 You now can shop these looks 40% off so hurry and fill your carts! Some of these pieces I have not even worn yet as I am saving for my upcoming trip to San Diego! So stay tuned over on @ladyandredstyle on Instagram, on how I will be styling them!

Also, if you live in Des Moines you know the Outlets of Des Moines are opening very very soon and they have an Express outlet....I will apologize now to my husband and my bank account! Haha

SHEER TOP- I love this top paired with a faux leather skirt or just jeans for a ladies night out! Super sexy and comfy too!

SWEATER TUNIC- This sweater has great colors! It does run a touch big so I sized down to an XS. It is the perfect length to cover the booty in leggings too!

GRAPHIC TANK- Super cute under a cardi or a leather jacket! So on trend right now. 

FAUX LEATHER SKIRT- This comes in 3 colors and I love the zipper detail on it giving it more of an edgy look. Dress it up with a girlie floral top, the sheer top mentioned above, or an oversized sweater! 

LEGGINGS- My favorite black legging by far! I buy like 2 pairs of these each year! They are comfortable and not see through!

SWEATER- The color alone is enough to buy this, but it also comes in 3 other colors and it is reversible!! Super cute and versatile! A total must.

CAMI- A closet basic that you need. Comes in a lot of other colors but it is the best piece to wear under big cardigans! I love this rust color.

BLOUSE- This mock neck blouse is a total win. Lightweight and looks amazing with pretty much anything! This was my most requested link from my Instastory try on session!

Now I am off to finish packing as we head out bright and early in the morning, and my outfit tomorrow is actually a super cute bell sleeve cardigan from Express linked HERE so don't forget to scoop it up!

XOXO Happy Friday Friends!

Fill the Cart Friday- Amazon Kid Picks!

October is the month my princess was born in and I have been shopping and shopping trying to find things that she will love and use, but every time a commercial comes on she wants that too! Anyone else struggle with what to buy their toddlers? I have loaded up on Amazon because I have Prime and who doesn't love Amazon? Yes, I have a daughter but I guarantee a boy would love some, most or all of these too! 

VTECH CAMERA- PINK  or if you have someone who wants it in BLUE. I have heard great things about this from other parents so we are going to give a shot to save my iPhone from photos of the dogs poo :( 

DIG IT UP DINO EGGS- These are the BEST! If you have a child like me who watches YouTube videos of people unwraping or opening things, or wanted a Hatchimal just to "hatch" it, then done with it, THIS IS YOUR TOY!! It comes with 12 eggs individually wrapped with each egg coming with a chisel. You soak them in water for 5 min or less and you chisel away the egg to discover a new Dino inside. You then get a booklet telling about the dinosaurs you uncover! Other options include:

DIG IT UP BIG BUGS I got this one for her since she is obsessed with bugs and we have already done the dinosaurs.

DIG IT UP FOSSILS AND MINERALS

SCOOBY DOO MOVIE- My daughter loves Scooby movies and I am surprised that it doesn't give her nightmares but she loves to solve the mystery. 

CHORE CHART- I am not sure if this is more for me or her but either way, I think 4 is a great age to start chores and helping around the house! My daughter loves it right now so I will take full advantage because I remember hating my chores! 

LEOTARD- Sorry for the micro image but we ordered these leotards for gymnastics because I hate paying $40-$50 for them! The fit great and look great for only $9-$12!!

WATER WOW!- These are a total life saver! Fill the pen with water (reusable) and they "paint" the pages and image appears. Then it drys and they can re-paint it later! The best for the car, airplane or keep it in your purse for restaurants!

I hope some of these gift ideas help you when searching for your next gift, and as always, if you have any suggestions for my almost 4 year old, leave me a comment!! XO

Fill the Cart Friday-MAC

Happy Friday! Whew! I have had a busy week and today I am going to slow down and get a much needed massage. I get a lot of questions about my lip colors and since when I link them on Instagram @ladyandredstyle they are not color specific, which is annoying, so I will lay them all out here! I do own a TON of MAC lipstick but they are not the only lip colors I love and use. So here are my top products I use from just MAC! Happy Shopping!

EYELINER- I use the color Graph Black. Always been a black eyeliner gal and this one stays put and is easy to put on.

RED LIPSTICK- The color is Viva Glam I. It is my favorite red lipstick and for me it compliments my skin tone and makes my teeth look whiter, which is a total bonus.

MINERALIZE SKINFINISH NATURAL- In the color Give Me Sun! I first apply my foundation, then I apply this with an angled brush under my cheek bones (from the corner of my mouth to the top of where my ear is). This creates more of a cheekbone!

STUDIO FIX- My color is C3. I put this on after all of my makeup is on as a light powder, and not everyday either, just when I am going out somewhere fancy! Haha It tends to give me more of a flawless finish.

LUSTRE- Two of my everyday favorites are in this category! 1.) Midimauve (favorite everyday color) 2.) Patisserie 

SATIN- In the colors: 1.) Media. 2.) Rebel 3.) Twig 4.) Captive

MATTE- In the colors: 1.) Mehr 2.) Men Love Mystery 3.) Velvet Teddy (new fav)

FROST-  In the colors: 1.) Angel 2.) Odyssey (favorite plum color)

CREAM SHEEN- In the color: 1.) Speak Louder

So, how you can shop these lip colors is by clicking the BLUE links and then just find that color!

Let's move on to the liners! To be honest, I did not start using them until this year when the guy at MAC insisted that I buy one, and boy am I glad he did, It really does make a huge difference! Even just using a liner with a gloss makes a huge difference.

LIP PENCIL- In the colors: 1.) Hover, goes awesome with Velvet Teddy lip color. 2.) Soar 3.) Boldly Bare (goes with everything)

EYE PALETTE- Okay, you can say it. I am so basic but I love this eye palette! 

So there you have it! All of my favorite MAC products. If you have products you love, please share them with me because that is how I find new colors and products to share with everyone too! Even if you are a no makeup kinda gal, lipcolor can do BIG things for you! XO Cheers friends!
