{ A long weekend...}

I had a wonderful night last night with great friends and woke up this morning feeling extremely tired and extremely blessed.  

I am so looking forward to a blissful Fall weekend.

Trevor's family is coming into town, and I get to play "bed and breakfast" while his sister and her lovely boyfriend stay at my apartment. I'm so happy to have them here and I can't wait for good beer, good people, and good times. 

I hope you are all having a wonderful week. If you have been busy like I have been, then I hope you get to unwind and refresh. You deserve it :).

Thanks so much for stopping by, y'all. lovelovelove.

{ Love Note: Terrain for Fall }

I love that you can roll this out for an impromptu picnic or carry it with you on a plane to bundle up with ease.

Beautiful packaging for open kitchen shelves

I'd love to store some bright green pears and apples in here to add some style to a plain jane kitchen.

1. Pendleton Travel Throw 2. Rustic Oval Mirror 3. Velvet Pumpkin 4. Welsh Tapestry Pillow 5. Bellocq Le Hammeau Tea 5. Tiered Tin Basket  

I've loved Terrain for quite some time now, but especially during Fall. The entire store allows an array of options to completely cozify your home. Just browsing the site urges me to curl up with a cup of hot cider and bake some pumpkin speeds. Heavenly.

It's finally the weekend! I was starting to doubt it would ever get here, yet I'm not sure I'm ready for it because I feel like I've got so much to do. Being productive at night after a long day of work and classes feels near impossible lately. I can't wait for the days that no longer include homework.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

{ A Reverie...}

Just daydreaming about what it would be like to be one of those lucky ducks who gets to spend Fall in New York City. I haven't seen this magical place in way too long. 

My reality is that I must now go make breakfast and get dressed for my long day of classes. Le sigh. 

Eye on the prize. Eye on the prize.

Hope you all are having a great week. Thanks so much for stopping by.

1. excited to be wearing scarf and boots on my way out to the thrift store (although truth be told, I was quite warm during the whole walk and ended up having to take the scarf off. fooey)

2. Kate Spade shoes at TJ Maxx that I wanted to snatch up.

3. Rows of apples and cider. I almost bought one of those sacks of apples just because of the adorable totes.

4. More apples (because who sees enough of those in the fall?)

5. Hard Cider at Whole Foods

6. Pumpkin Ale! I will try this before the season is over.

I've got an early morning and a long day ahead so I better get crack a lackin. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I'll see you back here soon! I have a camera charger again (yipee!) so updated apartment pictures are coming your way. Stay tuned.

{ Perfection }

I am dreaming about getting dressed for work this morning in any of those Fall ensembles. The perfect amount of chic (I'm really not cool enough to use that word) and effortlessness. Don't you agree?

Alas, I am still in my pj's sipping my coffee and I have thirty minutes to get dressed, so the likely hood of me looking like the ladies above when I head to work is looking slimmer by the minute. But hey, sometimes a girl needs a few extra minutes with her coffee and blogs before she starts her day. Am I right? 

By the way, if you are near an Ikea, go pick up the TINDRA Apple Cinnamon Candle. They are only $1.99 each and they smell like fall in a cup. I bought two at my last visit but I wish I would have stocked up even more because I burn them just about every night. I love.

It's almost the weekend y'all! Happy Thursday :)

{Fall in Love}

Today, the Pumpkin Spice Latte returned to the Starbucks up the street from my apartment, which can only mean one thing.

It's officially Fall.

 (nevermind what the calender tells you)

I would like to celebrate with hayrides, apple picking, pumpkin carving, and hot cider drinking.

I love the seasons.

Don't you just want to sit there and feel the crisp autumn air while you sip a pumpkin spice latte? mmm.

sounds like a little piece of heaven.

The season change is already making me rethink my throw pillow situation. I didn't buy any new ones for my apartment, just ones that I already had on hand, so maybe I can venture out to get a few new ones  that give a little more of a nod to Autumn.

lovely fall color inspiration :)

Hope you're all enjoying your week so far, and had a wonderful labor day weekend!
