the booties.

I kind of couldn't stop talking about these booties on instagram this weekend and here I am again still yapping about them.  Ha!  But I can't help it, they seriously have become my new fave.  I wore them with this free people dress to lunch with family.  Then changed into a sequins dress and sweater for a movie night with G.  And lastly wore them with this Mara Hoffman amazingness and jeans for a brewery tour.  Thank you Target for making a pair of fall booties that I can't get enough of!

it's friday, hooray.

Yipppeeee, it's Friday.  G & I are excited to spend some time with family this weekend.  SO very much needed right now.  We are also going to hang out with some friends at this event.  YAY, can't wait to soak in some fall inspiration.

hats.

Are you hat person?  I'm not, but after seeing these girls I think I might need to channel this look.  Wow, so chic!  I adore how it adds a stylish pop to even the most simple of outfits.

pale nails.

I'm normally pretty routine when it comes to manicures.  Firstly, my nails must be super super super short.  I don't know why, but for me the shorter = the better.  I also usually just do them at home (I've kind of got it down to a science now).  And of course I totally have my favorite colors.  I usually go with pinks (essie "pansy" or sinful colors "pink forever") and lavender (opi "lucky lucky lavender" is my all-time go to).  I know there are all sorts of crazy cool manicure choices out there these days and I really do love them, but for day-to-day, I tend to lean towards more simple nails.  I decided to try out a more neutral nail this past week and kind of fell in love with revlon "powder puff" matte suede all over again.  I hadn't worn it in years, but as soon as I put it on I was hooked.  Now, I'm not going to lie, this color is not so easy to do on yourself.  It is so pale that I had to do like 3 to 4 layers (I usually just do 2 layers and no top coat).  The finish really is super matte, so the second time I applied the polish I added a top coat to give it a little more shine.  I'm kind of loving this new look.

pumpkins.

October is here, hooray!  I love love love fall and winter time.  Like, I really can't get enough.  The change in seasons means the holidays are upon us, yipppeeeee!  The holidays mean spending time with family and really does it get any better then that?  No it doesn't.  Our neighbors have already begun placing their pumpkins outside of their doors and I'm ready to start painting.  Are you kidding me with the below beauties?  I'm totally obsesssed.
