Thursday Randoms

I've been a bad blogger. I realize that. It has been several days since I posted and for that, I apologize. 

This has been a wild and crazy week. Andrew and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary on Monday. 

Our take on that Pintrest Anniversary Photo idea. 

We've seen a rapid increase in our movie review blog's activity; which is awesome but that means that my little blog here has gone by the wayside. 

I have discovered some fun things though that are not necessarily new but I have found to be super awesome. 

The first is: the sock bun. This is not a new thing. But this morning it was new to me! So I grabbed one of Andrew's old ratty socks and voila!

I am pretty excited about this. It solves all bad hair days!

It's also getting to be that time of the year when I get the itch to hit the malls and consignment stores to start beefing up my fall wardrobe! Even though it's 84 degrees outside, I'm half tempted to grab some skinny jeans and a chunky sweater! 

Vogue has just come out with their September Issue (typically the largest issue, this year, it's about double the usual Sept. Issue) and it's massively stocked with Fall Must-Haves.  One thing I noticed were that there are a lot of shirts and dresses around knee to mid-calf length.

I am in LOVE with all the girly looks that are going to translate into Fall! I think that because of the more feminine looks that are popping up, that stockings and pantyhose might also make a reappearance this Fall. Exciting!

Look for at least one more Fall-filled post as we get closer to September! 

Happy Thursday and Happy Shopping!

Sunday Social

 
 

I LOVE Fall! So when this Sunday Social came along, it was a must for me! 

1. What is your favorite Fall activity?

GOING to football games. Not watching them on television, but going to them.

2. Do you follow a football team? if so which one and why?

I don't follow one team in particular, but I grew up watching Virginia Tech football, so I can always count on an update from my parents every week. Andrew also loves football so The Detroit Lions, New England Patriots or University of Michigan Wolverines can always be found on our television.

3. What is something fun about Fall in your area?

The color tours! The leaves out here on the East Coast get so beautiful in the Fall, so we frequently take little trips over to Rhode Island or just even locally to check out the colors.

4. Fav Fall outfit staples?

Jeans and over sized sweaters. Sweaters are a staple in my closet. Layering is the way to go in the Fall. I also love a good pair of mittens for those chilly nights.

5. Thing you are looking forward to most about this coming Fall season?

The smell. There is always a definite smell in the air when fall is starting to arrive and I love it.

The cider and donuts at apple orchards.

Wearing my moccasins around the house.

Snugglling up with a good book and a cup of hot cider.

This is my favorite season, can you tell?

6. Favorite Fall holiday? Traditions?

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. This past year was the first year that I did Thanksgiving dinner and while it all didn't turn out exactly right, it was satisfying to accomplish this iconic meal! Fall traditions involve going to cider mills. Going into NYC is awesome! There is something about being in a big city in the Fall. There is just that feeling of whimsy.


I can't wait fo Fall to get here! I hope everyone's Fall is amazing!
