It seems like someone we know is always getting married. Whether you’re a loyal member of the bride tribe or the blushing bride-to-be, honoring the big day consists of a lot more than just the wedding ceremony. From the bachelorette party to the bridal shower, planning memorable pre-marriage celebrations doesn’t have to be stressful! See our bridal celebration ideas below.

If you’re looking to plan an epic bachelorette party, why not an adults-only trip to Disney?? Kristy celebrated her sister-in-law’s upcoming nuptials with a weekend in the happiest place on Earth and had a blast! She recommends going without kids to Disney at least once in your life, because the experience is so different when you don’t have to worry about the little ones.

Make sure you grab matching magical tees, fun coordinating mouse ears, and, if you really want to get crazy, princess-themed outfits for going out at night!! We all know the bride is royalty, so what better occasion to show off your queenship.

After all of that celebrating, you’re probably going to want a little help recovery. These bachelorette party survival kits make the perfect gift for all the gals! Your bride and bridal party will be as good as new in no time with these essentials.

For a bridal shower, you’re going to want to gift something practical but something the bride wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself. How about this: a mini wine fridge with a customized wine subscription! Who wouldn’t want delicious wines delivered right to their door, especially with all that stress of wedding planning?! Don’t forget your “Miss to Mrs.” banner in case anyone forgot who all those gifts are for.

A “bride” silk robe is a must. Whether she wants to wear it on her wedding day or lounging around her house while she dreams of being the future Mrs., this is one bridal tradition you don’t want to forgo.

Games are a bridal shower must! This ring game is a fun way to get everyone involved and share a few laughs over some healthy competition.

These party favors are perfect for your bridal shower guests! Kiss the miss goodbye with Hershey’s Kisses and champagne lip balm. Pucker up!!

We all have those holiday celebrations that we just want to be comfy cozy for. This jumpsuit is the perfect compromise – it’s comfy yet stylish! Throw it on with some shortie UGGs for even more comfort.

Ah, the good ol’ classic jeans and sweater combo! This versatile look is great for any get-together and can be worn for many different occasions. Throw on some faux leather booties to complete the look.

If you’re looking for that full-on holiday spirit, try an “ugly” sweater over a slip dress! This will definitely get party guests talking, and who doesn’t love a good conversation piece?! Finish your outfit with a pair of red western-style boots to really make it pop.

Show everyone you mean business with a long plaid blazer! Pair it with jeans and a simple turtleneck to keep the look classic, but wear over-the-knee heeled boots to dress it up a little more.

A ruffled sweater is a flirty and feminine holiday look! Wear it with black jeggings and heels to keep the outfit sleek and sexy.

If casual chic is your vibe, style a cozy crewneck knit sweater with a slip skirt! The cheetah print on this one makes it extra fun, and for that final touch of fashion-forward style, complete your look with heeled combat boots.

Show off your edge with a vegan leather skirt! This asymmetrical skirt paired with a turtleneck sweater and matching faux leather booties is the perfect mix of sweet and sassy.

If you’re feeling classy and elegant, you can’t go wrong with a tiered maxi dress and sparkly heels! The tie waist on the dress and the bow details on the shoes bring this outfit together nicely.

This satin wrap dress will have you all wrapped up like the gift that you are!! This is a simply stylish holiday look that can be paired with heels to keep it feelin’ fancy.

This dress draped in layers adds tons of dimension to your holiday look, but it’s also ideal for hiding that bloated belly after stuffing your face with that fourth helping of dessert. Pair it with pointed-toe lace-up heels and get ready to eat!

Nothing says “holiday season” quite like a dress full of sparkle and shine. This sexy sequin dress will turn heads and make you feel like a star! Finish this look with a pair of strappy heels and let the dress do the talking.

No matter how much you love fitness or enjoy a good workout, there are always those times when you just can’t find the motivation to get up and get moving. It can seriously be a struggle. I find that having some cute workout gear can help put a little pep in my step though, and I make it a point to do a little refresh of my workout digs every so often. I also don’t love spending all of my money on leggings and sports bras though, so I’m always on the hunt for quality gear that’s still affordable. This is where Fabletics comes in! They have SO many adorable styles for all body types and personalities, and the quality of clothing is awesome! See what Fabletics is all about below.

Frugal and Thriving may earn a small commission via affiliate links in this post. See full disclosure here.

If you’re new to Fabletics, or you want to rejoin as a VIP, you can grab 80% off everything right now!! This is a seriously awesome deal. I knew I needed some fresh workout gear and received this offer via email, and I couldn’t resist!! The best part? There’s no commitment for a membership – simply cancel before the 5th of the month and you won’t be charged the monthly fee. Winning!! I ordered 10 different pieces and what should have cost me over $700 was less than $130…yes, you read that right. Now, I’m someone who is active often and lives in workout gear most of the time, so this was a no brainer for me. But even if you’re curious about trying out Fabletics, these prices are insanely good for athletic digs. See the pieces I got below! For reference, everything fits true to size. I usually wear an XS, but I ordered everything in size small because I don’t like my workout clothes squeezing me like a stuffed sausage – I like a little room to move and breathe.

This black faux leather set was definitely my favorite, mostly because it’s 100% my vibe. The leggings have fun velvet striped sections that add a lot of dimension, and the sports bra has a strappy back that makes for a fun surprise!

This sculptknit set (pardon the sun shining directly on my mirror) is subtly sexy. Even though it’s full coverage, the skin-hugging fabric (which is super soft, btw) of has tiny little cutouts throughout that are meant to accentuate a woman’s natural curves! The leggings are compression-style, and the top has thumb holes, and I just love a top with thumb holes.

Meow! If you know me, you know I love a good pop of leopard print. This bra is medium impact so it’s great for those more intense workouts, but the strappy back makes it subtly sexy! These oasis leggings are buttery smooth and what really sold me was…the pockets, obviously.

I love me a crop top, and this cropped tank is made with compression fabric so it’s cute but still holds everything in place! I feel like I could wear it out and about or for a fast vinyasa yoga class and I would still be comfy. I love that these leggings are moto-style and add a little bit of edge to your workout outfit!

Go green! Get ready to shine with this set – the gorgeous olive green shade has a slight sheen that makes you shimmer in the light. And why not, because you are a star! The tank has a built-in bra but it is a little lowcut, so if you’re well-endowed, just beware of this. These leggings are super comfy. I could see myself throwing a cardigan over this tank and wearing this set out around town!

Jeans, jeans, they’re good for the butt. A good pair of jeans can really make that booty pop, and of course, their versatility and longevity are bonuses, too. Old Navy has a ton of different denim looks for every body type and style preference, and the prices are affordable, especially when you can catch a good sale (which happens often). The other good thing about the jeans from Old Navy is the stock doesn’t change as frequently as some of their other styles, so this is a great one to refer back to anytime you’re looking for a little denim refresh! For reference, all jeans fit true to size. See jeans styles from Old Navy below.

I don’t usually love a wide leg look on me, but for some reason these jeans stole my heart! I’m not sure if it’s the long length, the slight distressing, or how comfortable there were, but these Sky-Hi wide leg jeans were my favorite! I loved the high-rise cut too for those days when you want to tuck away the tummy.

I really liked this pair as well. The only thing I didn’t love was how they seem to be a little tapered…I wish the ankle was just a little wider. I could definitely wear these all day and be comfy, though. Overall, I liked the looser fit of these OG straight jeans!

This was another pair that I really liked for the most part. I actually am wearing a petite length in these because they didn’t have my size in a regular length in the store, but I think if these had just been a tad longer (the regular length would have given me that), these mid-rise loose boyfriend jeans would have been a contender for favorite!! They’re definitely a little lower cut around the waist so if you prefer high-rise, I wouldn’t recommend these.

Wide leg for the win again! There was something about these jeans that just felt really good. I think the looser fit gives it a more casual, laidback vibe, and I’m all about comfort! I do also like the lighter wash, and again, the high-rise cut gives a little extra forgiveness with these Wow wide leg jeans.

Bringing back the flare, baby! I did not think I was going to like these when I tried them on, but I was pleasantly surprised. These Wow flare jeans reminded me of my younger days, and I don’t know if it was the nostalgia or how well these seemed to fit all over, but I was ready to wear these for the rest of the day.

I’m pretty simple when it comes to my style – I’m talking no frills or unnecessary extras. I really don’t wear jeans much to begin with, and while I liked the fit and length these jeans gave, those two little pockets on the front were just too much of a distraction for me. I think if I had chosen a different style of these extra high-rise wide leg jeans, I would have maybe liked them more.

I want to love cuffed boyfriend jeans, I really do. I always see them and think they look so cute, but for some reason I feel like it’s a look I can’t pull off. These fit well and felt comfortable, but I just didn’t love how they looked on me. These mid-rise Wow boyfriend jeans would be perfect for someone who can rock the cuffed ankle jean look, though!

I am typically a skinny jean gal. The three pairs of jeans I own are skinny jeans. I also, however, like to be able to move in my denim, and these high-rise Rockstar super skinny jeans were SUPER skinny. I felt like they were painted on! If you’re not planning to move around much I do think these look sleek, but they didn’t feel very practical to me.

These were a looser fitting “skinny” jean, but I didn’t find them all that flattering. They felt good around my waist and I liked the length, but they were a little too baggy through parts of the leg area. It was almost like these high-rise Wow straight jeans couldn’t decide between being a skinny jean or a straight jean.

I haven’t tried on a classic bootcut jean in a really long time. These Wow bootcut jeans felt super comfortable and fit well, but I just don’t think this is the look for me. Beware these are mid-rise, so they’re a little lower cut around the waist.

Oh boy. These high-rise OG Loose jeans were just a big fat no. The cut, the length, the fit…everything did not work. They were baggy in a sloppy looking way and I didn’t find anything about them flattering. It may just be my frame, but I can’t see these being a style I would ever wear.

I haven’t tried on a classic bootcut jean in a really long time. These Wow bootcut jeans felt super comfortable and fit well, but I just don’t think this is the look for me. Beware these are mid-rise, so they’re a little lower cut around the waist.

Oh boy. These high-rise OG Loose jeans were just a big fat no. The cut, the length, the fit…everything did not work. They were baggy in a sloppy looking way and I didn’t find anything about them flattering. It may just be my frame, but I can’t see these being a style I would ever wear.

Have we mentioned that fall is our favorite season for fashion?! The snuggly fabrics, the warm colors, the cozy textures…the best way to get through the cold weather is with a hot wardrobe. H&M is a great place to grab trendy outfits for affordable prices, so you can try out that fashion fad you saw on social media without breaking the bank! See our roundup of fall styles from H&M below.

Some people love Halloween. Some people just can’t seem to get on board with the ghosts and ghouls and scary shenanigans and crazy costumes. If you want to celebrate the holiday but you don’t want to go all-out with a costume, you can still show your paranormal pride with a Halloween-themed outfit that looks chic and stylish rather than creepy and spine-chilling. See our Halloween apparel inspiration from Amazon below!

Fall is my all-time favorite season of the year, and where I live, the first sign of the incoming fall season is the whiffs of the local tomato factory just one mile away that gets me craving pizza or pasta…I’m salivating just thinking about the scent! I look forward to all of the fall things – the festivals, the activities like apple and pumpkin picking, opening the windows for that crisp, cool air and of course — the fall fashion. Fall means trading in the flip-flops for closed-toed footwear! Check out these fall season footwear looks to match!

Riding boots (similar) used to be my go-to back in the day. I personally need to have a wide calf option and they’re harder to come by, but I always had the classic black and a brown pair to be able to switch it up. They’re such a fall staple and perfect to wear for all of the fall festivities, especially the ones that involve messier outdoor terrains! Pair them with some leggings and a casual or dressy sweater (similar) and you’re good to go!

Ahhhh my current favorite… the classic ankle booties (similar)! There’s nothing like a nice suede and a good thick block heel to elevate your stride if you’re on the shorter side like me. You can wear them for all of the fall occasions, whether it’s casual or even a dressier look if that’s your goal too. I have weaker ankles, so I love the added support around the ankle area that they have. These can be paired with a cute dress and jean jacket, but I loooove grabbin’ the perfect pair of jeans with a nice undershirt and a faux suede jacket!

Chelsea boots – a comfy and casual and close-fitting ankle boot, typically with elastic side panels…they are an easy on/off option. Perfect for a rainy or chilly overcast day, running errands, or an impromptu lunch date with friends. Keep it super chill with jeans, a plain white tee and a jean jacket (similar) to complete the outfit.

Another type of bootie would be the easy on/off slip-on boot (similar) or sometimes also called a “shoetie.” It’s basically a bootie without the zippers on the side. Sleek looks can be created with these – they’re good for the office, and also happy hour or date night afterwards. Paired with dark jeans, a dark tee and a neutral-colored oversized cardigan, these are a staple item for the fall season for sure!

The wedge boot…I love a good wedge! I have so many variations of the wedge, I literally have a wedge for every season! Casual but chic is how I would describe this style of wedge, as they stand out and would be considered the statement piece of the outfit, especially when paired with a light-colored jean and lighter sweater during those beginning weeks of fall.
