A Prayer Request

Hey y’all!  I had good intentions of putting my Friday Favorites post together yesterday, but a few things happened that got in the way.

I just waned to pop in to ask y’all to pray for my grandfather.  Out of respect for my family, I’m not going to go into details on my blog, but your prayers are very much appreciated!

I will see y’all Monday!

Fall Favorites 2017: Favorite Fall Fashion

**This post contains affiliate links which may result in compensation for me at no extra cost to you!  Thank you for supporting Meet the Shaneyfelts blog!

I am so excited about today’s topic for mine and Emily’s Fall Favorites link up!  Fashion is my love language so you can imagine how much fun I’ve had following along with New York Fashion Week and all of the fashion bloggers I follow.  It would be a dream come true to attend that one year, but for right now, I’ll follow along from Alabama 😜

If you’re linking up with Emily and I, please make sure to link back to one of us!

Today I want to share a few items I want to add to my closet along with two fall looks that I’ve already shared on the blog this month, but are still season appropriate.

I have been checking on these slides every single day, and they have yet to restock in my size.  If you have smaller feet, then they usually stay stocked.  I used to have a pair of leopard flats in college and wore them all the time because they went with everything!  Now that slides are “in” right now, I want a pair of them but in leopard so I can pair them with multiple looks.


I have a sweater from this exact brand and very similar in style but it’s more of a purple-ish and maroon color.  This year I’m hoping to fill my closet with more neutral colors–browns, beiges, grays, blacks, navys.  Those classic colors can be mixed and matched with each other or printed clothes that I already own.  


I’m obsessed with this dress!  So classic.  So modest.  So preppy.  It also comes in a red, so that would be perfect for the Christmas season this year.

I also love everything about this look–the skirt, neutral top, leopard clutch.  I don’t have many skirts because I’m drawn to dresses, so this is something I hope to add more of to my closet!

 If you live in a warmer climate like I do, then your fall outfits right now may look like the one above.  And if you’re looking for the perfect white jean, I highly suggest JCrew.  Their jean material is thicker so it’s not see-through but it isn’t too thick that it’s hot…if that makes sense.  Yes, I know it’s more on the expensive side, but I think it’s worth it!  I’ve also gotten BBQ sauce on these jeans before and it came right out after I treated it!

This is also a favorite look for fall because black and cognac always pair well.  This tunic is thin enough to wear now without sweating to death, and my boots are so well made that I know I’ll probably be wearing them 10 years from now!

Creating a Good Night’s Sleep

For me, a good and productive day begins with a good night’s sleep.  If I’ve had restless sleep or wake up with a sore back, I feel like that affects the rest of my day.  Maybe I’m tired all day or low on energy, so for me to feel as productive and energized as I can, that begins with getting the best sleep I can.

Here’s what helps me:

Take a shower before bed.
There’s nothing better than a hot shower or warm bath to get my body and mind ready for bed.  I know this is crazy, but I cannot sleep if I haven’t had a shower.  It doesn’t matter how late I’ve been out or if I’m not even dirty, a nighttime shower is part of my nightly ritual.

Unplug from your device(s).
I’ve read many places where the blue screens on your device send some type of message to your brain that keeps it wired, thus, keeping you awake at night.  Thirty minutes before getting ready for bed, I plug in my phone and watch and don’t look at them until the next day.

Put your favorite lotion or oil on your wrists.
I have this Aveda oil that I love dabbing on my wrists before bed.  The smell is so soothing and if I breathe deeply a couple of times, then my heart rate relaxes and my brain is ready for sleep.  If you’ve ever had a massage, then you know what I’m talking about.  Before you begin your massage, you breathe deeply whatever oil you’ve selected, and that automatically relaxes your brain.  If you haven’t tried it, you should!

Read a book.
I save my quiet time for the end of the day, but if you do yours in the morning, then you’ll want to read some type of book (not scary!) to tire your eyes out.

What do you do to create a good night’s sleep?
