Looking for lightweight jackets? This is the ultimate guide to the best jackets for cool but not super cold weather!  On the hunt for the best lightweight jackets? This teddy jacket is a STEAL!

Ok, so this is probably the most California post I've written in a long time (aside from the obvious beach and bathing suit recommendations or Disneyland information) but…..if you live in an area with more moderate winter temperatures (or you are looking for transitional season jackets) then this is for you.  Now, not to really drive it home…..but most Southern California winters the temperature rarely drops below 55 degrees.  Yes, it's cool at night, and in the morning but the middle of the day and most times? Lightweight jackets are all you need.  From a jean jacket to a great moto jacket……most of my winter jacket wardrobe is filled with not very heavy jacket options.

If you've got a pear shaped body like me, I love that these jackets fit me well…..they may work for you too!

Lightweight Jackets: The Ultimate Guide

Looking for a great jacket? These are my favorite options and styles.  They'll be usable for years to come and are classic styles that every woman needs in her fall or winter wardrobe!

If you're building up a lightweight jacket collection, a jean jacket is a MUST OWN!

Jean Jacket: Nothing compares with a great jean jacket…..I own two that I've worn consistently for the last couple years, and they'll be on repeat for the entire fall and winter season.  This one? The Madewell jean jacket (I wear this in a medium).  And my other favorite? ABLE's version (use CARLY_20  to get 20% off it).  They're both super high quality and are in perfect condition after a LOT of wear.  Looking for a bargain version? Old Navy has a great option!

Teddy Jacket: The minute I feel a slight chill in the air, teddy jackets are my favorite.  There's something great about a soft cozy jacket even if it's not THAT cold (relative term, cause for me? it's freezing).  This teddy jacket was a total bargain (under $50) and it's roomy enough for layering (I got it in a size medium).

On the hunt for great fall jackets? This olive jacket is the perfect option from this year's lightweight jackets options!

Military Inspired Jacket: I love a great military inspired or band inspired jacket and this one? That I got recently from ABLE? Fits like a DREAM ( I wear a medium and you can use code CARLY_20  to get 20% off).  It's a great option for lightweight jackets….and can easily be worn with jeans and a long sleeved tee or a dress and boots.

Leather Jacket: Who doesn't love a great leather jacket? A suede version or more classic leather? Is a style that you'll have for YEARS to come.  In fact, I'd argue a leather jacket is something you can invest in once and keep for most of your adult life.

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
