Sofía Jeans now available in store!

I was excited to find out that my favorite Sofía skinny jeans are now available in a longer length for taller people (as well as the regular length!) I love this style and have posted about them several times in the past - they are a true "skinny" jean right down to the ankle, fit well and fray around the hem as you wash them multiple times. Sofía jeans come in all sizes from 0 to 22 to fit lots of different body types!


In addition to being available in lots of styles online, Sofía jeans are now available in 250 Walmart stores nationwide! So you can try before you buy. Above are the Melissa flare style worn with this pretty Sofía Boho top (which also comes in a pretty pink) and these booties.


With the skinny Sofías I'm wearing this long cardigan (which is only $14 right now and would be great to wear to work!) this Scoop knit tank top and this glass bead necklace, (real glass - it's heavy!) with these booties.


I'd say everything here fits true to size (I am wearing either small or, in the jeans, size 4) except the black booties - those definitely run a half size big so size down and the tank - that runs a little small so you may want to size up (I am wearing M).

My kids, both in size 14 now, are wearing these super soft, cozy fleece pants. (They come in smaller sizes too, look for the ones that just say 'Microfleece pants' here.) They are nice and thick, have pockets and the kids have been wearing them non-stop since they arrived! Only $7 right now!!!

Below, Chase is wearing his warm fleece bear pjs. Note that these pjs run a little big. I'd say the other items featured here run true to size or slightly smaller than some other brands.

First - Tory Burch is having a sale and you can now get extra 30% off sale items with code "EXTRA30" at checkout!!! So you can get gorgeous bags, shoes, wallets, jewelry and more for yourself or for a gift!

I'm mostly writing this to have an excuse to post some photos I took of my gorgeous new bag. I am in love with the black, but it also comes in red, orange, brown, and yellow! (See the listing photos to give you an idea of size - it's large enough to hold all my stuff but not so large that it is overwhelming.




There is one inner pocket and the leather is soft and supple. The red fob-thing holds a gold Tory Burch logo charm (love that red tag!!) 


Comes with a lovely dust bag too, pictured below.

Winter and Holiday Shoe Shopping at DSW

This post was sponsored by DSW and ShopStyle and contains affiliate links (I will receive a percentage of commission if you make a purchase through one of my links.) 

I'm excited to partner with DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) to bring you some of my Winter favorites! I love that they have free shipping on all orders once you've joined the VIP rewards program, no minimum. And right now you can get free, 2-day shipping with code "FREETWO", plus 20% off many shoes/boots with code "BCCHEER" at checkout!!!

Alex now has feet bigger than mine (gasp!) I got us matching boots by Sperry - both his and mine run true to size (roomy enough for thick socks.) He's wearing the Brewster Duck boots here. I'm wearing the Syren Misty Duck boots here. They have a nice squishy footbed and fleece lining.


Here's a close up shot of our boots - Perfect for the New England weather! DSW also carries a lot of other boot brands we love, including Bogs, Hunter, and Sorel.

I'm wearing these socks with my boots (pictured below) Look for others in DSW's gift section, here. They have a special section for stocking stuffers here (and remember, everything ships free with 'FREETWO' at checkout!)



For a date night (or would be great for Winter vacation!) I picked up these olive suede scrappy sandals by Franco Sarto. Love the big buckles, the unusual color and the heel on these!


Very comfy too, for this high a heel! I'd say they are true to size, but if in doubt, go up to your next half-size. See more Franco Sarto at DSW here. 



Keep in mind that you should put your DSW orders in by the 18th to get gifts delivered in time for Christmas! If you are a regular DSW shopper like I am, you can join their rewards program and earn discounts and a birthday gift! More information about that here.

Pretty & Affordable Casual Winter Styles

Friday, December 13, 2019


This post was sponsored by Walmart and contains affiliate links (I will receive a percentage of commission if you make a purchase through one of my links.) 

Here are a few of my budget-friendly but pretty and stylish clothing picks this month! Love the Time and Tru ribbed turtleneck above, comes in several pretty colors, here. Seriously a steal at under TEN dollars right now! After reading the reviews, I went up to a medium (I'm normally small) and I'm glad I did. Still fitted, soft and with plenty of stretch.


Here I'm wearing the turtleneck with Sofía Vergara cropped jeans and Melrose Ave booties (both are true to size.)


This super soft sweater is from the Scoop line and runs true to size. It's medium thickness and  warm for Winter! Comes in a few other colors too. My super soft pajamas (below) are from Ellen Degeneres' line, EV1, exclusively at Walmart. They are running low on stock, but a bunch of other designs are here. Check out lots more fun and affordable fashion from Walmart, here.

This Twig & Arrow scarf is gorgeous in person (and SO soft), goes nicely with my sweater dress from Scoop (I plan to also wear this is a tunic with leggings or skinny jeans!) Would make a great gift and the recipient will think you paid more! The sweater dress fits true to size (I'm wearing small here) and is soft and comfy. Check out the rest of the Twig & Arrow stuff too - including this poncho that I posted about a couple weeks ago, (see my pics here.) 

Booties are by Brinley Co. and are vegan! They run slightly big I'd say. They come in several colors here.


I also picked up this cute fleece shown below (true to size or go up one if you are in between sizes at all) for under $20!!! Check out more affordable fashion finds in Walmart's Holiday Fashion Edit, here.

Colder Weather Carter's Finds (up to Size 14!)

Tuesday, November 12, 2019


This post was sponsored by Carter's and contains affiliate links (I will receive a percentage of commission if you make a purchase through one of my links.) 


Did you know... Carter's isn't just for little kids... they make kids clothes up to size 14!!! Yes! Plus you can combine in one cart with OshKosh (also sizes up to 14) to hit the $35+ threshold and get free shipping! Check out their cute holiday outfits and holiday pajamas!!!

My son loved the 4-in-1 Winter coat pictured above. I would say the 4-in-1 coats run somewhat small. Chase is usually a large 12 and he's wearing a 14, which fits perfectly.


I like it when the boys are coordinated without exactly matching, and I loved the turquoise tones in these soft flannel shirts. I would say go one size UP on these - both boys are wearing size 14 here. (Alex has his sleeves cuffed up, Chase does not.)


Alex (left) is wearing 5-pocket skinny jeans. Chase (right) has on the Pull-on Denim Pants. (Those come in toddler sizes too.) In both cases I'd say they run long and we found the pull-ons to be a little skinnier than the skinny jeans! Plus... I love that they pull on so no spending time fiddling with buttons. They are both wearing their regular sizes (14 and 12 respectively) and both have some room to grow into in the length.


My big footed boys now wear men's shoes, BUT if you have a child who is still size 3Y and under, definitely check out the adorable shoes to finish off your look!

Fall Poncho Weather!

This post was sponsored by Walmart and contains affiliate links (I will receive a percentage of commission if you make a purchase through one of my links.) 

Seriously you need this poncho in your life if you live where it's cold like I do. It is gorgeous, warm, super soft, thick and on top of that it's under $20 (!!!!) Yes! If you prefer more neutral colors, my poncho is also here in black and tan. Lots more great, affordable Fall fashion at Walmart, including holiday family pajamas!

The interior of the poncho has a nice grey/blue contrasting pattern which you can see below. SO soft!!! More blanket scarves from the same brand (Twig & Arrow) here. 


The grey sweater I'm wearing is also really cute and comfortable, by Sofía Vergara, here. Jeans are also by Sofía and are here. (If you prefer classic denim to the grey get these instead.) Boots are here (in the color shown and also black) and run true to size.

Sofía Vergara New Fall Jeans

Wednesday, October 30, 2019

This post was sponsored by Walmart and contains affiliate links (I will receive a percentage of commission if you make a purchase through one of my links.) 

These are my  favorite inexpensive jeans, by Sofía Vergara – A bunch of new styles are now available in  Sofía's line here, available exclusively at Walmart!! More of my pics of her other similar styles  here and  here. (If you like a frayed hem,  this style gets nicely frayed after a few cycles through the wash. I also picked up these new  grey wash ones.) Sofía's line is designed to work well for women with various body types. I've found all her jeans fit true to size (if in doubt go up though, I like a tight legging-fit, but I realize not everyone does.) 


This pretty top is also by Sofía, it's soft, comfy and runs a little bit (nice and long in the sleeves and body - which is great for those of us who are tall and like a longer sleeve.) It comes in yellow and black too! Boots are here (in the color shown and also black) and run true to size.
