This last month has been so busy with work and family that I haven't taken many professional photos for full blog posts. I'll have more of those to share soon, but today I have a big round up of outfits from Instagram.

I hope you have had a great week so far! I'm excited it's Friday although it feels like there is a lot to do before I'm ready for Sunday. Soren and I are leaving for Italy on Sunday and even as I type it it doesn't seem real.

I think you guys know me well enough that you can appreciate when I share embarrassing things, right? I swear when I was younger, embarrassing things happened to me all of the time. Thankfully as I've gotten older, they seem to have become a little fewer and farther between.

Happy Friday! It's been a busy week, but I wanted to share an Everyday Style post before the week ends. These are outfits that I share on IG but other than in a round-up like this, they don't make it over here on the blog.

Today I'm pulling out one of my favorite lace blouses from the Summer to style in the Winter. I love a lace top or a blouse with a crocheted lace hem like this one, but typically they are easiest to wear in the spring or summer.

Well, this is the last Everyday Style post of 2016. It's been an eventful year for us and I can't imagine what next year holds! The year 2016 has brought so many changes to my blog, social media and Nickel and Suede. And it's been so good!

Today I thought I'd share a few random things I'm loving or looking forward to now that school is in session and Fall has arrived.

This summer was a different one for our family for a lot of reasons. We opened a store, we had four kids at home full time, and we moved our business out of our home. It was busy, and it was really hard to get the normal things done. It was a summer of fast food and feeling frazzled.

Wouldn't you know that as soon as the weather starts warming up that I come down with a cold? Things have been so busy this week with work that I've not gotten enough sleep and I got hit with a head cold.
