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

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 need

On to the Next! -- I got a promotion!

Good morning. Happy Fridayyyy ! Today is the most bittersweet day for my career. It is my last day working with the team I've been with since day one at my current company (though this is the first company I started working for once out of college). Now I'm not leaving the company I work for, but I recently got promoted to a different department. This means I move up a floor, and will really only see my current coworkers in passing! I am EXTREMELY excited to start this new chapter in my life.  This is a position I have been wanting, and felt was the right next move for my career.  But I think it's difficult to let go of things you are comfortable with, and it's especially hard when you love all your coworkers! It's not just my team I will miss either! My current boss is really the reason I have gained the momentum I have in the working world. He has always been dedicated to my growth, and has been someone to help guide me through life.  I could easily thank

Operation Brunch- Theme: FALL!

Good Morning! Fall is in the air, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I know that many people would agree that fall is one of the best times during the year.  The crisp air, and the changing colors just really make me happiest. This year is the first year I have a place of my own to decorate, so I am extra excited.  I had pumpkins in our house the first day it was even a little bit chilly! So since I now have a house to host things in, its becoming my favorite season, AND I've been able to decorate for fall, I felt it was appropriate to host a fall themed brunch with my 3 oldest and closest friends! With us all living in different directions and having separate lives it's been a WHILE since the four of us got together.  I'm so happy they all made it out here this weekend.  It was a lovely day of laughing, drinking mimosas and casually annoying Scott while he tried to watch football.  I'm also glad that I now have the opportunity to host casual events with my fr
