Happy first day of fall! While we don't have much of a fall here in south Florida, it is still my favorite season by far. I grew up in in New Jersey where trips to the apple cider mill and hot chocolate with leaves turning bright bold colors were all a part of the seasons turning. I have also always loved fall style and dressing for fall - bold colors, prairie/bohemian style, animal prints and layers!

Today I am so excited to share four on trend and unique fall looks that include items all found at Walmart. I love their September Edit which is a curated round up of on trend pieces which makes it easy to shop for fall! Some of the trends they highlight are animal print, pretty prairie, statement boots and resin jewelry to name a few. I found the vast majority of the pieces I styled from this Edit including these peep toe booties, They are one of the most versatile pairs of boots for fall. I love that they can be worn as we transition into fall and they make a statement! Below are the four fall outfit ideas including fit information; I hope you enjoy! 

Outfit One

 Spiced Cider Floral Peasant Top // Peep Toe Booties // Jeans // Cross Body Bag

I love the fall colors in this peasant top! It is so comfortable and the peplum waist is such a fun detail! I suggest going with your normal size in this top. My jeans are the perfect pair of non-distressed high rise denim! They are great for a more polished look and I love the dark wash. I am also wearing my normal size 4.  These statement peep toe booties also fit true to size (go up half if you go between).

Outfit Two

Leopard Peasant Top // Faux Leather Jacket // Peep Toe Booties // Jeans 

I love this beautiful leopard top! It has the same fit as the red top in the first outfit. Animal print is very on trend for fall and this top is such a pretty way to add it to your wardrobe! I added this faux leather jacket that has the best quality! I love the fit layered look it creates with so many different outfit options. 

Outfit Three

 Black Peasant Dress Peep Toe Booties

Hello and Happy Friday!! I am so ready for the weekend! Kris and Avery are going to their first Father/Daughter dance and Avery is sooo excited! It will be so cute to see them together.

So I thought it would be fun to try something new and share the most loved/purchased items from the week! I included sizing information for each item as well!

I am finally done with our Jackson Hole trip recap! Warning, this is a long post. I had an overwhelming response with people asking for travel details that I wanted to make sure I covered everything! This trip has been on my bucket list and it did not disappoint. It was by far one of our favorite family vacations to date.

WHEN WE TRAVELED 

We planned our trip around the girls being off for summer and Kris' work schedule, so the first week of August was the best for everyone! It ended up being such a great time of year to visit as well. The national parks were a little crowded, but not terribly so.  The weather was SUCH a welcomed change from our South Florida summer weather. It was in the 40/50s in the mornings and would normally reach a high of 80 in the afternoon. Nights were cool and comfortable! 

When we started looking at flights we quickly decided to fly into Salt Lake City, Utah instead of the Jackson Hole Airport. We normally fly Delta and we could get a direct flight from Fort Lauderdale. We also saved a significant amount of money by flying to Salt Lake vs Jackson! We got a rental car and made the drive from SLC to Jackson. It took us about 4.5 hours and we drove through Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. It was such a pretty and relaxing drive - one of my favorite parts of the trip! 

My travel outfit - we left super early in the morning so I didn't have a chance to take a picture at the airport. Avery in the background LOL

The hotel felt super modern and clean, they had a complimentary breakfast, free lollipops at check in (the girls favorite) and free parking in the garage across the way or street! They also had a pool but we didn't use it. It was also family friendly and the staff was so sweet to the girls. We would definitely stay there again! Some other downtown hotels we considered were Hotel Jackson and the Homewood Suites Jackson.

we made it to the hotel after a long travel day! the girls were so excited about the hotel's free lollipops, ha!

WHAT WE DID 
Downtown Jackson 
We had so much fun just walking around downtown in Jackson Hole. There are so many art galleries, shops, restaurants and things to see! At each corner of the square, there are elk antler arches; I had never seen anything like it before! There is also a reenactment of a frontier shoot out every night at 6pm in the square. Each night we saw tons of families walking around, people out getting ice cream, etc. It is really lively and fun!

downtown jackson is full of so many pretty spots! 
 Avery - camo top, sherpa pullover (also love these and the colors), similar pants, boots
Charlotte - Vest, leggings 

there are elk antler arches at the 4 corners of the square. so cool!

 Teton Village

On our first full day in Jackson, we had a slower morning because of all the travel the day before. And poor Kris was up at 5am fielding phone calls eastern time so the girls and I ventured out to grab us all some coffee and breakfast and let him sleep.

Then we made the 15 minute drive out of the downtown area to Teton Village! It was another pretty drive; the mountains are everywhere! Teton Village is a whole other center of activity! Hotels, restaurants, skiing in the winter, etc. In Teton Village they have an Aerial Tram that you can take up to the top of the mountain (10,000 elevation)! We bought our tickets prior to arriving because they offer a pre-purchase discount. The tram ride to the top of the mountain was incredible and the views were so good! The top of the mountain has several hiking options and a snack station with incredible waffles!

After going on the Ariel Tram we explored the rest of Teton Village. We ate ate the Mangy Moose for lunch, the girls played on the playground (thanks to one of your suggestions!) and then took the chair lift/gondolas to the top of the mountain.

we snapped this photo before getting on the Aerial Tram!

the cute playground. the girls loved it. there is a shaded area for parents to sit as well. 


Grand Teton National Park 
The next morning we were up early and made the quick drive to Grand Teton National Park. Grand Teton is very close to Jackson Hole which made it an easy part to explore. We started off at Jenny Lake in the morning which gets REALLY crowded in the afternoon. It has a great visitor area and then you can venture off from there to hike/explore.

We decided to take the Jenny Lake Ferry across the lake. The ferry dock was just a short walk from the visitor center and helped us to avoid an additional 2+ miles of hiking around the lake that we knew the girls (and us probably, ha!) would struggle with. The ferry ranged from $10-$18 for round trip tickets and the girls had so much fun on the boat!  From the dock there are marked trails to hike to the Hidden Waterfall or Inspiration Point which is a bit higher up!

After hiking at Jenny Lake we went to have lunch at the Jackson Lake Lodge inside the park. There are several restaurants and we ate at the Blue Heron which had patio dining with the Tetons as your view!  After lunch we kept driving towards the Moulton Barns and stopped to see them prior to heading back to Jackson!

there were rangers set up to share animal/park information with the kids!

beautiful views!

not the best quality photo but one of my favorites, the girls were playing in the creek! 

Snow King Mountain
Snow King Mountain was one of our favorite days in Jackson! It was about 1 mile from our hotel and was literally heaven for the girls. Snow King is another ski area during the winter but during summer they have a ton of activities for families! Some of our favorites were the Alpine Slide, Cowboy Coaster, Trampoline Bungee Jumping, Mini Golf, Maze and the Chair Lift. We ended up buying their family all day pass so we didn't have to buy tickets to each individual activity and we were there all day. I completed our family liability waivers online prior to coming and that saved us some time!

Bar T 5 Covered Wagon Cookout
After our day at Snow King Mountain we had dinner reservations at the Bar T 5 Covered Wagons! It was one of our favorite experiences from our trip! Basically you sign up for a specific show/dinner time and head out in covered wagons with a large group of people. I think our show had 6 covered wagons head out for dinner. The ride to the dinner spot was so pretty and full of their actors pretending to be bandits and historic figures!  The girls were so excited about that!

They had amazing food and the best hot chocolate that I've ever had! When you go up to get your food there is staff there to help moms/dads who are helping multiple kids with plates which was so nice! The show consisted of mini plays, sing alongs and musical performances. It was so much fun!
 Avery's outfit - peplum top, boots
Charlotte's outfit - overalls, shirt, boots
My outfit - kimono, tshirt, jeans, shoes, cross body bag

the girls had the best time riding up into the mountains! 


Yellowstone National Park 
To say Yellowstone was amazing would be an understatement. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! I will say that we did not see Yellowstone properly, lol! It is HUGE. Like you probably need 4 days to really see it all. Since we were based in Jackson for this trip we really only got a glimpse of the park, but it made us want to come back! We went to see Old Faithful erupt, walked along the Biscuit Basin, saw the Grand Prismatic Springs and walked along the Fountain Paint Pot Trail.

we stopped to get a picnic lunch at the Old Faithful Inn and watched the eruption!

Salt Lake City
On our last day in Jackson we walked around town for a bit, had breakfast at The Bunnery and then made the drive back to Salt Lake! We stopped at Fossil Butte National Monument which was on the way back and the girls learned more about fossils! They are currently obsessed with Dinosaurs.

 We spent one night in SLC before our red eye flight the next day. We took the girls to the Children's Museum, walked by the temple and shopped at City Center! The girls went to Claires and I got to shop at Evereve for the first time; we were all happy, ha!

WHAT WE ATE 
Ok, now onto the good stuff! Jackson has an amazing food scene! I was so impressed by each meal that we had. Here were some of our favorite spots:

Pinky G's Pizzeria  - One of the best pizzas I've ever had! Seriously so good. We did take out from Pinky G's to our hotel the first night that we got into town!

Gather - Gather was SUCH a good dinner. It was one of the nicer restaurants that we went to and it did not disappoint! I had the elk bolognese and loved it!

Moo's Ice Cream - The best local ice cream! Was full of people and they had a kids play/sitting
area!

Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse - Million Dollar Cowboy is a Jackson must do and it is located right in the town square! There is a bar on the first level and then for dinner you walk downstairs to their steakhouse. Kris LOVED his steak and my halibut was awesome!

Kitchen - Kitchen was probably my favorite meal while in Jackson. We ate here after a long day at Yellowstone and basically ordered the whole menu, ha! The restaurant was really nice but also casual so we felt comfortable having the girls there. The food has an Asian influence and we loved their calamari and I had the ramen bowl.

The Bunnery - This cute spot is a MUST for breakfast! Amazing pancakes, oatmeal, bacon, eggs etc and there were so many tables that it was easy to get right in to eat.

Persephone - We stumbled on Persephone on our first morning in town, and I am SO glad that we did! It is a gem! It is a bakery/restaurant with amazing coffee as well! They have an entire outdoor seating area with large reclaimed wood tables and heaters to keep you warm! I had the avocado seed bowl and loved it.

Favorite coffee shops - Cowboy Coffee and Persephone

And that's a wrap! If you have any questions on Jackson Hole or what we did, I would be happy to help! You can comment here or send me a DM on Instagram!
