HELLO FALL.

hi all! this fashion gal is BACK! married to the fireman, honeymooned in Italy, and now home-sweet-home for my favorite season of all, Fall! not only is it good to be home sleeping in our own bed, but is great to be welcomed home to crisp air and a little holiday & halloween buzz. our block is apparently big on halloween decorations (which means, we are now big into halloween decorations... can't be the non-decorators on the block!) which really makes it feel like Fall is here! so here are a few things (with links, of course) that make me LOVE this time of year...

my top 10.

1. drinking warm apple cider or chai tea or hot chocolate out of my favorite (oversized) coffee mug

2. getting cozy on the couch with a big blanket on rainy days

3. wearing sweaters

4. decorating for halloween, then christmas

5. shopping for the perfect pair of boots

6. trying out new fall/holiday recipes, i like this one

7. getting all bundled up for a long walk when it's crispy n' cool outside 

8. dressing up for halloween... last year i was this

9. having movie marathons at home... this is the last movie i watched, it was good

10. eating soup

oh, and tune in next week to see the deets from our big day & our Italian honeymoon.

happy friday, have a nice weekend!

WE'RE HITCHED!!!!!!!

hello long lost reader friends!!!

I am SO sorry for my long absences & blog-free days... I was busy getting hitched to my handsome hunk of a FIREMAN! meeeeeeaow! we got married last saturday on September 29th in a killer barn in San Luis Obispo, CA. it was intimate, sweet, full of love, a lot of laughter, a lovely blooming garden, and even a green vineyard... we were surrounded by our family & friends, and danced liked there was no one was looking. we even toasted (with super classy shots) in the one-and-only tequila lounge. needless to say... IT WAS THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!!!

... and so we heard, the BEST wedding ever!

now we are off to Italy for a honeymoon full of adventure, gelato, and maybe even a little vino (that's for sure)! so please stay tuned in a couple weeks I will have photo's from our BIG DAY... and from our little vacation too! see you guys soon!
