Sometimes you just need a little extra when it comes to items in your life. I can recall a time, in the not so distant past, when the quality of picture from even the nicest TV couldn't compare to the quality of images displayed on our current HDTV models. Now we have so many options, like smart TVs, handheld devices, and even nifty, 1080p projectors.

While I'm not necessarily a techie, I do know a good projector when I see one and I've been eyeing the ultra-bright Epson Home Cinema Projector. It literally brings the movie theater to your living room, which means you can watch the game on your wall on Sunday night and be able to see every play in vivid detail. You can use the projector as a satellite box, a gaming console, or even pair it with a streaming device and watch your favorite TV show.

Not only can you watch whatever you want on this little gadget, this projector is super lightweight and portable, meaning you can easily share the fun with your friends and family - if you choose!

5 Fall Fashion Tips for You + a $$$ saving coupon!

I've always been one that's excited to find a bargain, whether I'm hunting down the coolest styles on the racks at a local thrift store or scouring the web for a new trendy piece of clothing. So when I heard about ThredUp and the awesome deals they offer on designer items, I was just a little excited... and by just a little, I mean like incredibly, super excited!

Instead of just adding a few items to my cart as I perused the app, I added nearly everything I saw. With featured picks and a variety of galleries, I spent hours adding oodles of items into my cart, if you've ever used the app - you know what I mean.

After I decided I only really need to buy a handful of items, it was time to check out. Instead of paying a jillion dollars for my new designer duds, I ended up paying nearly nothing! While the items in my cart totaled to $93.96, their actual worth was $370 if I had went in stores and made these purchases, and get this - with this coupon (LNB15) I saved enough to make my purchase for only $56! Enough about the money, let's get to the real important stuff - the fashion tips and my new additions to my wardrobe!

1. This fall, keep things deep and dark with pops of color. Blacks, browns, and deep shades of navy are what you'll find me in this fall... but only with pops of color or other deep colors added into the mix! Take this adorable black blouse from Ted Baker for example. Paired with a black pair of leggings and a super fun pair of shoes, this is the perfect look this fall! Add a flowy cardigan for a warmer addition to the look and you're set!

2. The next item is also part of the deep color scheme, but it's addressing a different tip - don't be intimidated by any style! While fitted styles after having a baby sound like they may not look amazing, I have to brag about this gorgeous navy lace skirt from Ambiance Apparel. It's the cutest new addition to my closet, paired with a comfy blazer or a chambray shirt and a pair of boots - this is a piece I'll be rocking all through out the chillier weather! For now, I love this look with heels...

3. Speaking of boots, my next tip is to not follow just one "style trend", take the time to find your own way in the fashion world - like this outfit for example: This casual dress from Express has an intricate detail and would typically be paired with a fancy pair of heels to compliment the elegance, I made it my own by adding a pair of riding boots and I love the way it looks! It's the perfect mixture of bohemian and classic, two of my favorites, with my own little twist.

 

4. While having your own style is great, the tip above leads me to this tip - stay true to the classics if nothing else works. Like this black blouse, it's a great classic piece that will remain timeless and is a great asset to any closet.

5. My final tip is never pay full price, for any item in your closet! We all love designer items, but you can find amazing deals on ThredUp for all the same items at prices that are unheard of! Get 15% off your order if you've used ThredUp before with the code "LNB15" OR if you've never shopped ThredUp before use the code YHJ75 for $30 off $75! Now click here and start shopping!

So tell me, what are your fashion tips? I'd love to hear all about your preferred styles in the comments belo!

Fall Stitch Fix: Learning to Love My Fuller Figure with This Fix!

After having a baby, I hoped to have my pre-baby body back in days... I would have even been okay with seeing my weight jump back to a normal number within weeks. But alas, I'm still carrying around a couple of extra pounds and I'm totally rocking a mama pooch at this point. While I'm not exactly satisfied with my shape at this moment, I'm learning to find confidence in my mom-bod... just like the "dad-bod" was fully embraced by society, I'm trying to do the same for myself.

One of the best ways I've found to embrace my curvier figure is continuing my Stitch Fix subscription post-natal. The maternity fixes they sent were amazing and I loved my box when I was thinner, but having a stylist help me style my fuller-figured self this month was life changing and so incredibly flattering.

On that note, we'll start with the most flattering items in my fix. I fell in love with this fun and funky striped, polka dot, and floral-pocketed top and the leather and trimmed leggings. Both items are so incredibly adorable and the perfect additions to my wardrobe. The top is the perfect mixture of all things trendy and a great addition to my statement pieces and the bottoms are classic with a twist, my personal favorite way to rock a classic look!

The next item in the box that I am debating on keeping is the green tunic top. It's a great classic piece, but other than the color - I'm not so sure I "just love" it! I will say it's super soft and a great casual looking item. What do you think of it... Should I keep it?

Another item from my fix I'm seriously considering adding to my wardrobe is the grey asymmetrical jacket. It's definitely another fun and funky piece but I think maybe it isn't the most flattering looking for my post-baby body. The pockets are a HUGE bonus in my book but the cut of the jacket makes me feel like I'm larger than I am.

The last item in my fix, that I thought I would love but then didn't just go gaga over once it was on was the adorable patterned sweatshirt. I love, love, love this look but the way it fit my curves left something to be desired. It's so incredibly soft and just the right amount of cute so I may have to buy it in a size up or keep it just so I can plan on rocking it once I'm a little closer to my goal.

So tell me,what would you keep in this fix and what needs to go back? I love hearing your opinions and can't wait to see what you say in the comments below!

Light Up Fall for a Friend + a $200 Giveaway! #Light4Night #LightUpFall

Thanks to Motion Activated Lights for sending over this awesomeness and sponsoring today's discussion, regardless all opinions expressed below are my own.

Fall is full of all kinds of awesomeness, it's like a gift every year when that little bit of chill in the air and pumpkin spice everything arrives. While there is numerous reasons to love fall, my least favorite part of the season is the fact that it gets darker earlier in the day... and with a newborn in our posse now (as of a month ago anyways), that means my hands are constantly full and it's sometimes hard to hit a light switch. I'm sure other moms can relate - with a babe in one arm, a bottle or a binky in that same hand, a diaper bag on the other arm, and a car seat in the other hand, I suppose I should say my arms and hands are pretty full nowadays. I've found a solution to my problem and no longer wander around in the dark when first entering our home in the evening or getting up in the middle of the night to soothe her, Motion Activated LED lights are the little addition to my house I didn't even know I needed until I had her.

I decided to place one of these handy little gadgets near the back door where we enter our house the most, it's so helpful whenever I have my hands full with Delainey, her car seat, and the like. Instead of dropping it all to hit a switch, I just walk into the room and I can instantly see, no matter how dark it is outside when I get home!

I didn't just make the entrance to our house easy to navigate in the dark though, I decided to add one of the lights into Delainey's room. Now instead of switching on the overhead light in her room to find her favorite blanket or grab an extra burp cloth, I just walk in and I can instantly see. The best part is the light is bright enough to illuminate her room without being too bright and waking her up.

Now that I discovered the best little night light for a nursery, I had to share the goodness with a friend that's expecting any day now. I decided gifting her a Motion LED light is a perfect, practical, and more personal addition to her gift from her registry. This little light has been a life saver for us, we just plug it in like a night light and on tough nights with D it's just enough light for us to wonder into her room for the necessities without being blinded by a bright light... We love our Motion LED light and I hope giving her one will help make the nights with her little newborn a tad bit easier!
