What I’m shopping for on Black Friday

If you know you know, but I am not a huge Black Friday shopper.  This stems from my many holidays spent working retail.  However, there are some AWESOME deals so I do like to shop online when I can!  Here are a few things I have been eyeing for a bit just waiting for a sale and I have a feeling…….Black Friday will be the day!!!  Truthfully a lot of the sales have already started so if you are like me and go get your tree on Black Friday, snag some of this now!

I have been wanting to buy AirPods for Dusko because he is on SOOOO many conference calls, etc at work.  Although, I don’t fully trust that he won’t lose them.  lol.  But I have heard they have a ping type thing like the watch so I guess I will go with it for now!!!

We got an Echo Show recently and I want to buy them for everyone on our list!!!  I am in love with it.  If you have a Ring doorbell, it shows up on the screen.  Plus, if you don’t have an Alexa, you NEED one!!  I was definitely late to the party but we use it ALL the time.

I am dying for this new winter VEST, or this VEST.  I am not sure it will go on sale anywhere but I am hoping!!  Fingers Crossed. Maybe Dusko Tadic will see this :).

I would love to add this Mirror to my bedroom!!  I mean, who wouldn’t right?  The 7 foot because I could take mirror selfies in it…lololol.  But really, it is so pretty.  I also love that it comes in gold, silver, and black!

Something I think YOU should buy!!!  Your first pair of Golden Goose Sneakers if you don’t have them yet.  They are magical and I basically wear them everyday!!!!

I am going to stock up on my favorite natural deodorant!!!  It is 20% off on Friday with code:  theblissfulmomma

Last but definitely not least, my favorite skincare and makeup!!!  It is currently on sale for 15% off:)

 

What are you shopping for?!?!?!?!

XOXO,

6 Thanksgiving Day Looks

I swear I’m not a holiday skipper guys!!!  I actually REALLY love Thanksgiving.  Sometimes Dusko’s birthday even falls on Thanksgiving which makes it even more special.  But what isn’t to love about a holiday that you don’t bring gifts, you don’t have to go to church (eek), and all you are required to do is eat?!?!?!  I mean does it actually get any better than this?  I think not!

Since Thanksgiving seems to have creeped up very quickly, have you had time to think about what you are wearing?  Have no fear, myself and fellow blogger, @Meganschramblog have you covered!  You should have no problem snagging any of these looks in time for Turkey Day!!!  It’s freezing here so I wore tights with two of my looks, you could obviously go without!

Here are Megan’s super cute looks!!

XOXO,

Lissa

Holiday 2019 Family Pictures

Ahhh, family pictures….Seriously, I am the first to admit they are kind of a dreaded task.  And I know Dusko hates doing them especially since my “job” is taking pictures ALL the time!!  lol.  So I tend to delay them until it’s really time because we all know we need a Christmas Card picture, ammiright?!?!?  We took a different approach this time and they were honestly really fun!  For starters, my cousin is our photographer.  So the kids love her and think she is funny.  This is super helpful to have someone that can get them to smile and giggle.  But it was legit freezing the day we took pics so we did hurry but also sang some of the kids favorite songs and truthfully just didn’t put pressure on them and I feel like they turned out great!  I mean, Emme’s expressions in a lot of these pics are simply priceless and quite honestly I would prefer that.  When we look back someday it will remind us more of our kids cute little personalities:).

Another thing I want to chat about it Family Picture Outfits.  I feel like often I hear people chatting about how hard it is.  DON’T OVERTHINK IT!  Pick one print or top and just base everything else around it.  If I’m being honest, I tend to pick my outfit first and go from there.  Just pull a color from that outfit and add to the rest of the group.  Imagine a pod of mannequins at a store.  They tend to coordinate, they are obviously going to the same party and or photoshoot!  I was happy to admit that the only outfit we bought was Emme’s Super cute jumpsuit!  Which we had bought prior to the Family Picture Outfit Selection.

 

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

XOXO,

The Tadic Family

Toddler Gift Guide

Hey guys!  These gift guides have been SO fun to put together.  It’s basically like I’m shopping!!!  I am super passionate about this toddler gift guide since I have two toddlers.  But just like the other gift guides, all of you were super helpful with your ideas so thank you so much!!!  I would say almost all of this gift guide is gender neutral.

Active with Zyia

If you know me, you know I LOVE me some active/Athleisure!  Let’s be real, we are living in a leggings world and she’s not retiring any time soon!  So I’m always on the hunt to find my favorite items.  Whether they are for actually working out, just running some errands, or looking cute! I had heard of Zyia Active before but had never seen or touched it in person so I will admit I was Leary of ordering it!  But once I got my hands on it, I’m kind of obsessed!!!  These pants feel like butter and they have a phone pocket?!?!  I’m in a size 8-10 bottom and L top.  You can shop my look or the entire site here 🙂

Shop my shoes and sunnies here

I mean see how cute this outfit looks just hanging out with the kiddos too?!?

XOXO,

Lissa

***This outfit was gifted from Zyia by Becca but all opinions are my own***

 

Athleisure with Athleta

It’s no secret that Athleta is one of my FAVORITE stores!  I’ve done multiple blog posts featuring them before because the quality and service are hard to find elsewhere.  You can read them here and here.  Oh, and if you want some Athleta shopping tips, read this one!  So, the real reason I had to head into Athleta this past weekend and why I am hosting my event tomorrow night is drumroll…….It’s Friends & Family Time!!!!  Woo hoo!!!  So what does this mean for you?!?!  Almost everything in the store is 20% off, of course there are some exclusions but even sale is included!  Say what?  I know, it’s crazy talk really.  Below are some of my favorite items I tried on the other day!  Seriously I wanted it all!!!  Also, did you know that Athleta carries dresses and jeans?  Not just active?!?!?!

Shop this Look

Athleta Jeans are the BEST!  I feel like I’m wearing a pair of leggings when I have them on.  I am in a 12 pants, Medium top and bomber.

Shop this Look

This floral top is actually the same as the red top above but look how cute it is with the matching shorts.  Looks like a romper right?!?!  Except you can go to the bathroom while wearing it!!!  lol.  And love the pop of color these pants give.  I am in Medium top, shorts, pants, and L sweatshirt.

Shop this Look

I am obsessed with these light camo pants.  They are a 7/8 length which I love because it’s more of an ankle length.  This book bag is packable which is SO great for traveling, and love the matching sports bra(I was in a L, definitely needed a bigger size but wanted you to see it)!  I am in Medium everything except the bra.

Shop this Look

Do you ever look at a picture and wish you did something different? I really wish I would have pretended to sit on that bike seat!  ha.  I mean wouldn’t that have been perfect?!?!  These pants literally feel like butter on….BEST workout pants EVER!!!  They don’t move when you workout and obviously have super cute prints!  I have a few pairs of the solid black.  I am wearing a Medium in all of these items.

Shop this Look

I LOVE this look so much because it can be worn almost anywhere.  Change your shoes and it completely changes the outfit on this one.  Also, it’s incredibly comfy.  But real talk, this bomber….YOU NEED IT!!!!  It comes in an Olive Black shade too.  You will wear it on repeat and will not regret this purchase!  lol.  I am in a Medium dress and bomber.

Shop this Look

How cute is this romper?!?!  Note that it does have an open back.  It’s very flattering with this busy print and oh so comfy!  This is another one that can be worn to the park or a fancy dinner!

Friends & Family officially starts today!!!!  If you have a gap brand card of any kind.  If not, let the shopping commence tomorrow, Thursday 3/7-Monday 3/11.  Comment below with your email if you want a coupon code!  I will send it right over.

XOXO,

Lissa

Black Friday, All the Deals!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!  I hope you are all as stuffed as me and had the best day with your families :).

So, this post is a little delayed…mostly because I actually HATE Black Friday!!!  I know, I know, it’s so weird.  I love to shop so why oh why would I hate the BIGGEST shopping day of the year?  Honestly, I had to work Black Friday for WAY to long.  It is basically horrible, people become vicious angry shoppers who just want a deal and do not want to wait in any type of line.  Do you know that I actually had to work overnight for approximately 17 hours a couple years in a row???  Remember that if you are out shopping tonight, tomorrow, this holiday season, or really any day ever.  Retail employees are likely underpaid, understaffed, missing out on time with their families, just trying to push product for you to buy!  Oh, and they probably haven’t eaten in hours, simply running on caffeine!  Ok, rant over…now to the good stuff!!!  Here are all the best deals if you ask me!!!

Recent Amazon Finds!

Hey Guys!  I thought since we have been trapped inside and I haven’t really been able to get to the store to do a Fit Day, Fri-DAY!!!  I linked a bunch of my recent FAVORITES from Amazon!  They are super random items but LOVE them or I wouldn’t be sharing them!!!

This belt is definitely my newest and most exciting find, Gucci inspired and Cheap!

My Phone Case I get asked where I bought this on the regular!

This swim Suit is my most liked picture EVER on Instagram!  It’s so mom friendly and cute, comfy, and casual!  My Quay Sunnies are big, but that’s what I like about them!!!  My exact pair is sold out, but I think I want these next!  And never underestimate the Tory Burch Miller Sandal, especially in this tan!

 

 

This Palm Print Swimsuit which is a major fail as a wanna be blogger, I can’t for the life of me find a picture of me in it!!!  What the what?!?!  Trust me, its worth the near $20!

This Marquee Lightbox I use it in Emerson’s room on her shelf and then for all of her month pics!  Which are almost done, so sad.  I can’t believe she is basically one!!!!

And my recent Fav, Nutpods!

If you haven’t tried them and are looking for an alternative to dairy, they will be your saving grace for coffee in the mornings!  So smooth & creamy.

So, I guess this was kind of a Fit Day, Fri-DAY!  Except it’s already Saturday!  Haha, mom life!

XOXO,

Lissa
