Hello, gorgeous photo.  You'd look so great hanging in my house.  You also really, really make me want to go spend time in nature.  Photo, I think know I love you.

Perfection.

  

So.  Very.  True.

I love this look.  I know it's not for all, but it's for me.

Friday's Fancies + Have a Cozy Weekend!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7

Happy Friday, friends! I'm so excited it's finally Friday - the mister comes home (late) tonight!  It's just not the same around here without him, even if the cat gets extra snuggly.  It also means it's time for another much needed weekend, spent laying around in our pajamas drinking coffee and enjoying each other's company, hanging out with friends and toasting a couple glasses of <insert adult beverage> to the arrival of my favorite season.  

I love Autumn whole-heartedly.  The only thing I wish were different about this beautiful season is that a) winter did not follow and b) the time change did not happen.  I hate when its dark out in the 5 o'clock hour.

What have you in store this weekend?  We don't have any definite plans other than to watch that Bears v Packers game (oi).  I want to do some more decorating (especially for fall) and I hope that tomorrow we could possibly finally hopefully get around to brewing our own beer.  We've only been talking about it for nearly a year now...

It's been a gray, rainy morning here in Louisville.  So I thought what better way to ring in Friday's Fall Fancies than by pairing a cozy sweater with some beloved Hunter rain boots.  It's a classic look, one that I love to sport time and again and one that is perfectly suited for today's weather.  I think I just might have to bake something today in honor of fall and the chilly temps and soak it all in.

Whatever you get up to this weekend, I hope it's a great one!  Til Monday...

Hello, Fall

My mind is still completely baffled by this weather.  This morning I woke up with several piles of blankets wrapped tightly around my body, a kitty snuggled on my feet and the warmth of my husband keeping me comfortable enough.  Needless to say, we went from pumping the AC to keep it at 74 degrees, to almost needing to start a freaking fire just to keep warm enough!

Naturally, my mind is on fall now.  I'm craving everything about it and I want to don an outfit that exemplifies autumn and all its glory.  Except, I have nothing in my wardrobe that is currently satisfying that itch.  So scratch that itch, dear blog.  Scratch it good and spare my wallet.

I saw the blanket this morning in an email and felt the need to share.  It's that classic wool camping blanket synonymous with fall (at least to me) and it left me ready for all that it has to offer.  I'm of course completely in love with EmersonMade's olive wool day coat, Steven Alan sweaters always call my name and these Minnetonka booties would be the perfect touch to any ensemble all season long.

Are you ready?

Weekend Fun

This weekend was delightful.  Badge & I had a great dinner + movie date in Oak Park on Friday night, made some headway in our wedding plans and spent a lot of time at Sams Wine & Spirits on Saturday afternoon (that is, after serious snuggling and biscuits and gravy).  Our friend Lauren had an art opening at the Eel Space and afterward, well...it ended with lots of wine, friends, a polaroid camera and lots of fun.  Today, I had the most delicious tomato-carmelized butternut squash-brie-spinach strata at Lula's and we went to the farmer's market to pick up some Autumn things.  We went with cider and some pretty flowers.  Badge begrudgingly painted my nails and then made me this delicious drink:

Badger's Bitchin Brr Buster

Farmer's Market quality cider
Honey Whiskey
Nutmeg
Love

Damn, it's good.

It's almost time for Dexter!

What did you do this weekend?
