Please be kind! This isn't my best hair day, trust me. I just decided to go for it. Don't worry, I won't make it a habit :)




Two things: I forgot the 5th fall makeup item! I only mentioned 4. The fifth product would be a highlight powder of some sort. I use highlighters and luminizers more in the Fall because they brighten up my dull complexion.

Also, in watching this video I realize that I say DEFINITELY a lot! I apologize for the monotony. As I stated at the beginning of the video, I am not at all comfortable being on camera so I was nervous and stumbling around a bit in my wording. I dreaded speech class in school :) The written word is much easier for me than the spoken.

I tag all of my readers! These are fun to watch. Thank you to Nina for thinking of me.



I hope you enjoyed it anyway!

I've received so many requests asking about my upcoming wedding. I truthfully don't have much to tell you girls. My fiance' and I are just enjoying that wonderful feeling of being engaged!

Here are some things we do know:

1. We haven't set a date, but we do plan on waiting about a year and a half. Once we do set a date, we want to make sure that we have plenty of time to plan our dream wedding.

2. So, our dream wedding combines two things: romance and fun. We don't want to put on some huge production that doesn't feel like us. It's all about celebrating our relationship, so we want our friends and family to feel at home and we want them to walk away from it saying, "wow, that was so them." Make sense?

3. Ideally, we want to get married on or by the ocean. I'm not yet certain what that entails because I haven't started doing any research but my fiance' and I love the beach. We definitely want to get married outdoors.

4. I want lots of flowers and candles at the reception. A lot!

5. I want a very simple yet elegant dress. Strapless would be nice, with maybe a sweetheart neckline.


That's really all I can think of at the moment! Although this engagment has been a long time coming, it still feels like a whirlwind for me. I'm very happy and excited, but also really nervous about planning a wedding. I would seriously appreciate any advice you may have, as I know many of you girls are married :)
Tell me, what do I really need to know?

There are so many Fall lists going around, that I decided to do my own. Here are just a few things that are inspiring major wear time for me this season.



1.
Colorful bib necklaces
Purple: F21  Orange: H&M  White & Cream: Francescas Collections


2.

Nail colors that serve as conversation starters
Chanel: Graphite   OPI: Crown Me Already  OPI: Dating a Royal


3. 


Snagging this gorgeous Missoni for Target scarf.


4.

My friend wore a beautiful burnt orange blouse by Gibson last weekend. I wanted it so badly!
I went to Nordstrom to try it on earlier this week, but it wasn't very petite friendly so the SA suggested this one by Bellatrix.
I am in L-O-V-E with all of the big pussybow blouses this season.


5.

Of course this is my absolute favorite :)



What are your Fall favorites? Please tell me!

Sweater - Express, Tank - H&M, Necklace - F21, Jeans - Banana Republic, Pumps - J. Crew (love!)



Although the Fall season has officially begun, my neck of the woods is still feeling steamy. Once a girl who wished for endless Summers, I now am seething at this possibility. I can no longer grin and bear it dressed in sandals and flowy tanks. I want little jackets and chiffon blouses! I want suede, lace, and faux fur! I want to enjoy my plethera of cardigans and my plaid coat from last year!
I just want sweater weather.

Does it feel like Fall where you live? If so, I am envious. Enjoy it for the both of us.
