A Change

I finally did it!  I chopped my hair off a couple of weeks ago and couldn't love it more!  (Here's a pic the day after it was cut.)  I haven't had short hair in 7 years and it feels so fresh and new for Fall.

I am also loving the fact that cooler weather is starting to creep in (slowly but surely we will be out of the triple digits!)  And you know what that means - bell bottoms, long sleeves and layers...yippee!  Fall is my absolutely favorite time of year, but I'm already noticing that it might be a little tricky this year with this growing bump.  I can still fit into most of my pants, but I just know its only a matter of time before my favorite high-waisted wide legs don't fit any more.  :(  And does anyone know of maternity bell bottoms?  I am definitely going to have to find a pair!

All in all, I'm excited about the new changes ahead and couldn't be happier about this little miracle growing inside me!

Bring On The Cold

To Color or Not To Color?

It's getting a little chilly out, and I couldn't be happier.  I'm loving neutrals this season and am tempted to abandoned all color in favor of black, gray, white, cream and beige.  It's so chic and simple, and not to mention so European.  (And don't we all want to be European?  Or is that just me?)  

But then again, I just don't know.  I still love the colorful coat and how it pulls an outfit together.  That extra pop of color can be just as chic and simple.  Help!  What is a girl to do this Fall?

Outfit Planning

We are entering into full Fall weather around here, and I am so pumped to start wearing sweaters, layers and boots non-stop.  My staples so far are Navajo sweaters (or any other quirky pattern), button ups, ankle pants and my Petty boots.  I will try to switch it up now and then, but I can't promise that my outfits will change much from above.

What will you be wearing this Fall?

Pumpkin Pie Bars

We are back from NYC and enjoyed every last second of it.  (Even the rain and humidity - eh!)  I found myself looking up apartments in The West Village when we got home this past weekend - yes, that's how much I loved it.  I'll post some pics soon so stay tuned.

What this post is really about are these marvelous pumpkin pie bars - woot woot!  (Thank you pinterest.  I WILL be making these.)  I am a sucker for any kind of dessert that combines a crumble topping and fruit.  And just to make it that much better, it was complete Fall here in Dallas this past weekend!  (Who doesn't want to eat a warm dessert when there's a chill in the air outside?  I know I sure do, but I can pretty much find any excuse to eat dessert.) 

To sum this post up, I rambled about NYC, dessert, and Fall.  Three of my favorite things!  Sorry about being a little scatter brained; I'm trying to get back in my "normal" groove.

Autumn

Today is the first day of Fall which makes me extremely happy.  I think I need to stock up on pumpkins this weekend because you can never start too early or have too many.  At least that's my philosophy when it comes to decor this time of year.

Just look at those beauties!

It's Coming

Perfect patterns to round out the summer.  I welcome Fall with open arms.

Falling for Fashion

This week we are suppose to get true Fall weather, hello 50 degrees and welcome.  (Yippee!)  I can't wait to be wearing all my sweaters and boots and not sweating to death.  Beanies, boots and long layers, oh my!  (My new perfect duo - maxi's with desert boots!)
