Fall Essentials...

Zara jacket / Zara flat / Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

Two trends that I am loving for this fall are leather and leopard. I recently bought a leather jacket from Zara and I couldn't be happier with it. The next thing on my list is a cute pair of leopard flats. I can't decide if I want ballet flats or loafers. Hmm, decisions, decisions... And I also thought that I would just share one of my favorite albums to listen to during fall: "For Emma, Forever Ago" by Bon Iver. This record really gets me into the Autumnal mood; I've been listening to it while I do my homework at night. 

Have you bought anything fun for Fall?! I would love to hear! 

Peace and Love,

Boys of Summer...

There is nothing that I love more than a baseball game in the summertime, but a baseball game on a fall evening is particularly lovely as well. Last Thursday my Dad surprised me with tickets to one of the Orioles' last games of the season. Baseball has been a special thing for me and my dad for years. We've really bonded over the Orioles and Camden Yards is our special place. We normally go to a few games each summer but it just didn't turn out that way this year. I was so excited to go to this game with my dad! We had our favorite hot dogs and O-shaped pretzels, enjoyed the lovely weather, and had a great time cheering on the O's. I'm sad that the season is over now but it leaves me excited for a fresh new season next year.

The Perfect Fall Day...

Last week my Aunt came to town and we decided to take a little day trip up to Glen Mills, PA. My mom and I had been dying to go back to Terrain and seeing as my Aunt is an interior decorator we thought that she would love it. I love the drive up to Glen Mills; you get to go through Baltimore and Wilmington and it's just very relaxing to me. It took us about two hours to get there and so we decided to start our little adventure off with lunch. We ate at Harvest and had the most incredible meal. We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh Autumn weather while sharing deserts of pumpkin pie, chocolate peanut butter cake, and oreo cake. 

After lunch we headed down to Terrain. I've talked about it before but it is really a magical place. They had so many gorgeous pumpkins and Autumnal displays that it really got me in the mood for Fall! Mom & I picked up a few pumpkins for the house and then we all spent some time shopping around. It was so fun to just go around and look at all of the displays and get inspired. 

After a few hours at Terrain we decided to go down the street to Homegoods. My Aunt, Mom, & I are obsessed with decorating so you can only assume that we were going to do some damage here. Plus, this particular Homegoods is like the mothership; it is so huge and is combined with a Marshall's. I didn't end up buying anything but my mom and my aunt walked away with some goodies. Our final stop was to Starbucks for coffees for the drive home. I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season and it was the perfect ending to our Fall day. 

It was such a great trip! I had such a fun time with my mom & aunt and it was so nice to just relax and have fun without worrying about work or anything else. I hope that there are more days like this to come! 

Peace and Love,

Still Here...

Yes, I am still here. I've found that ever since school started back up it has been so much harder to blog every day. My classes are pretty heavy, I am working two jobs, and I just took on a Fall internship. It's a little crazy and I am just trying to balance it all. I hate that I haven't been able to blog as much because it really is something that I enjoy and I love being able to connect with all of my friends out in the blog world! I am going to try and make a bigger effort to plan ahead and have more frequent blog posts up. So, sorry for my absence; thanks for sticking with me. New blogs will start back up tomorrow. 

Happy Monday! 

Peace and Love,

Happy Monday...

I hope that everyone had a lovely weekend! My Aunt was in town for the last few days & we had the best time- I hope to get some pictures up soon! Lots of things are going on in my life right now and I am excited to start sharing them with all of you! I know that I have been slacking a little bit in the blogging department and I hope to get back on track with that soon. Finally, I couldn't help but share this picture of Mel. She has been so cute & cuddly lately. Maybe it's the Fall weather :)
