Fall is Failing Me!

Happy winter... I mean Fall!

Wouldn't believe it with how cold it's suddenly been.  The fall is definitely my favorite time of the year, and I feel like we are skipping right over all my cute fall jackets! :(

Regardless of what the weather is doing, I am still fully celebrating fall. I figured I would dedicate this post to all things fall. Fall decor, fall activities, fall clothing, fall makeup and fall cuteness! 

Side note, how many times do you think I can say the word fall in this post?

Let's start with the most beautiful fall wedding I attended in the middle of the month.  A friend from high school finally tied the knot in the loveliest way.  Everything about the wedding was genuine, full of love, and just beautiful.  The flowers and colors were the star in my opinion though.  They really embraced the fall and it was simply my favorite! 


And while are on the wedding, let's discuss makeup! Specifically the makeup I did for the wedding .  I wanted to do a smokey eye with a bit of sparkle.  My favorite part about a relatively neutral colored eye is that you can pair it with a nice bold red lipstick! I chose the Hank and Henry lipstick in the color Petal Pusher, previously seen in my Makeup Monday post.  The color was a perfect deep red for fall, and tied everything together. 


Let's move on to fall outfits! Surprisingly enough I have no over sized sweaters to share. Don't be fooled though, I have definitely bought my share of them for the season.  For the three outfits below I wanted to share something a little different.  The pink vest...I just could NOT resist, and the denim jacket has been a favorite of mine.  I can never do just a basic denim jacket.  It has to have some leather or sweatshirt involved to spice it up.  And then of course no fall outfit would be complete without a big fluffy scarf! 


Next up, fall activities!  This year we went to a pumpkin festival, and it was absolutely adorable. The list of activities included a corn maze,  rubber duck water races, hay bale obstacle course, pumpkin and sunflower picking, and apple cider donuts! (Obviously donuts.) As soon as we got home, we proceeded to carve pumpkins according to the outlines Jake drew for us. Once the pumpkins were carved and outside we treated ourselves to some apple cider donuts.  It was an adorable little "family" day. 



Last but not least, I will share my favorite fall decor find this year! I have decorated quite simply as I didn't want to go crazy my first year having a home to decorate.  But I did find plenty of small cute touches to make the house feel homey and warm! Below is my favorite area of the house, paired with some cinnamon donut muffins of course! 


And that's it! I still have some pumpkin flavored treats to make, but overall this year I have done all the cute basic fall things I wanted to do! 

I couldn't resist pointing out my use of the word fall through the whole post :P

Chicago- The Initiation

Hi Guys! I recently had my first work trip out to Chicago! Of course I did have some work things to do, but we did have a decent amount of time to explore and do some touristy things. Day 1 This trip I got to go out there with one of my teammates which was fun. We did some of things we felt you HAVE to do when you are in Chi Town.  Obviously the first thing we did after getting checked into our hotel was go find pizza! We went to Lou Malanati's and got these cute personal pizzas.  This was a butter crust filled with cheese, a layer of sausage and a layer of sauce! I'm partial to pizza from my area of the country (NY, NJ).  But for me you can't ever go wrong with extra carbs and cheese! After pizza we went to Cloud Gate, aka The Bean! I loved how the whole park was Chicago's version of Rockefeller Center.  There was an ice skating rink, and a big pine tree decorated with lights! Our last stop for the day was the top of the John Hancock building...

Allow me to introduce myself...

Hello blogging world! My name is Dana and this blogging thing is not my specialty.  But I'm hoping to make it my specialty! Even if I'm the only one who cares about it.  Ha ha ha...ha.......ha.. So anyway I have been debating blogging for a while now, and what better time to decide to start than on a rainy rainy night you should be studying anatomy! Procrastination at it's finest. I will try to make this short. Hmmm maybe I will do bullet form! :D ^^ That's me!! I am 25 years old.  Sometimes I think that's young.  And some days I just feel like I'm getting so old! I love donuts...in case the name didn't give that away.   There is also a chance that I am deeply addicted to peanut butter.  But also I love snacks.  So much so I actually buy snacks and hide them so no one else can have them before me...or in general.  (Selfish..I know.  But what can I say!) I like to call this snack hoarding.  Whether that's good or bad, I...

A Condo Closet Paradise

Recently we were woken up by what seemed like life just throwing annoying house issues at us. The closet "system", which was really just a long pole stuck into the two ends of the room came crashing down one morning!  I had been saying this was going to happen for days, but it finally happened.  All of our clothes, boxes, and random junk we kept in the closet now sprawled all over the floor. WHAT A WAY TO WAKE UP...am I right?!  See, with me recently moving in with Scott (my boyfriend of 4 years 😋), came a lot more stuff that the closet wasn't equipped to handle apparently! I was "slowly" moving bags of clothes and hanging them up without Scott knowing. (I did it when he wasn't home... shhh....).  But because the closet was being used by a man who has far less clothes, and really only likes maybe 4 t-shirts it became very noticeable it was an issue. But we just continued living hoping for the best.   Now to be completely honest, this closet nee...
