Ending summer with Backcountry

Sponsored by Backcountry + Shopstyle

Patagonia Divided Sky Jacket

The kids are back in school, I stepped on a crunchy leaf, pumpkin is out in stores… I hate that summer is coming to an end but I’m excited for Utah to cool off a bit and enjoy some late summer nights by our fire pit! Like how I’m not saying fall?? That doesn’t officially start until September. I share a lot about the athletic stuff backcountry has to offer, but I wanted to highlight some of the casual wear stuff they have.. I bought a few things this month to prep for late summer + fall!

Patagonia Divided Sky Jacket

This jacket was so good I totally ordered it in multiple patterns. I couldn’t pass them up! I’ve had this sherpa style jacket in prior years in plain, neutral colors and I’ve really liked it! Now that Em and I share clothes, I’m quite sure this will be missing from my closet often. It would look super cute with leggings, too. Linking a few other cute style jackets and sweatshirts available at backcountry below! Don’t forget my code TARA15 saves you 15% off full-priced items on your first order (exclusions apply)!

I’m a sucker for cute shoes. Did you know green is my favorite color!? I was so excited to find these super cute Thyme Classic Slip-on Vans! You know my whole family loves Vans already, but to find them in my favorite color was a major score. These are perfect for fall + winter color palettes. These sneakers, first, how pretty is this mauve color?? I’ve been picking this color over and over lately. But second, what I really love about them is that they’re made to be a comfortable, supportive casual shoe and not for any athletic purpose. I’ve been searching for something like this since I hurt my ankle this past winter. They’ll be great for days I’m on my feet all day or walks! I’ll link up some other shoes I have from backcountry below! Don’t forget my code TARA15 saves you 15% off full-priced items on your first order (exclusions apply)!

Also grabbed a couple of new bags, this backpack + a new black hole duffle, and another of the flip top Stanleys because they’re that good! I’m still debating that cute blanket from the cabin in Missouri and a couple of others for outside on chillier nights. I’ll link them all below!
