On Tuesday, I guest posted on Schnelle!  If you haven't read it yet, I'd love for you to stop by and say hi :-)

I'm also linking up with Long Distance Loving for the Friday's Fancies outfit crush!  This outfit was inspired by an outfit I saw on, surprise surprise, Pinterest ;-)

Out and About

Do I find it silly that I put pictures on the internet of myself?  Yes.  Do I find it silly that pictures are taken of me by myself in public?  Yes.  I do find humor in it that my hubby now thinks of himself as a pro photographer.  What's not so funny is when he tells me to "suck it in."  Doghouse for sure, mmmkay.

Cold Hearted Snake

I think my mirror memorized the lyrics and dance moves to 'Cold Hearted Snake' seen as though I gave the mirror a concert to it a million times.  Anywho, I'm linking up today with Marionberry Style and this month's challenge was animal print.  I have my fair share of leopard print but this is the only snakeskin print I own.  I feel very fancy pants skirts in this...see what I did there...I crack myself up :-)  Also linking up with The Pleated Poppy!

Oxblood

Today I'm linking up with Pretty Shiny Sparkly for the Bloggers Do It Better Challenge - oxblood. Confession, I've never used the word 'oxblood' to describe this color.  I usually call it red or burgundy.  I'm a total guy when it comes to color names.

I'm also guest posting over on Schnelle today!  Come check it out and say hi!  It's a Pinterest inspired post :-)

Fallen Leaves

The leaves have fallen!  I love how pretty nature is this time of year.  This past weekend, I picked up a bunch of pine cones and next weekend I plan on using them for a diy project I found on Pinterest.  Gotta love the weekends!  I finally got my hands on the Stella & Dot renegade bracelet, many many many thanks to Jamey and Jack's Mom!

Working Uniform

I think I may have been in the minority of those school kids that actually wanted to wear uniforms.  I never had to wear a uniform but something about the plaid always appealed to me.  I would have gotten tired of them just like when I was a Brownie and never wanted to wear the brown uniform but since the grass is always greener, I secretly wanted uniforms.

When I was in middle school, there was a strict dress code that required the use of a belt if you had belt loops.  Well, one day I went to school in overalls that had, yep, belt loops and I, of course, did not wear a belt.  My friend and I were both called into the office for not wearing a belt.  Neither of our moms would come bring us a belt so we did the next best thing...cut the loops off.  This has obviously scarred me in life (this dress has loops attached) and is probably why I just wanted uniforms instead of having to wear a belt with my overalls...priorities.

Country Spark

I'm very proud to admit that I am a reality t.v. show junkie.  I know I've mentioned my love for the Honey Boo Boo show here two or four times already, ummm did anyone else see Mama June make sketti???  If not, google it, I haven't looked at spaghetti the same ever since.  It's almost the end of another work week and while I know others may have more exciting plans, I seriously love weekends that include my favorite grungy pjs, in bed, catching up on my reality t.v. shows. It's my idea of bliss.

Dotty Greens

It's an illness, an obsession, a sickness really on how much I love polka dots.  I won't mention it ever again because I'm being obnoxious but I really love them.

Classically Headless

It was a headless kind of day.  The kind of day where I had no inspiration to think, thus I turned to my J Crew catalog, and no makeup to cover up the under eye circles.  My hubby says that my head being chopped in most of the photos was on accident but I know the truth.  You see, there are these things called mirrors and I may or may not have glanced in them one or twice throughout the day.  Bless his little heart.

I'm not one to reapply makeup during the day so that doubled with the fact that I barely even put on makeup in the morning did not turn out well.  It's just one of those days...

Farmer's Market Breakfast

Putting this post together, I realized that everything I wore, head to toe mostly, was from Target.  I told my husband about this discovery and his response, "that'll be my favorite post of all time."  Oh boy...

Saturday morning, my husband and I walked around the Village Farmer's Market and had breakfast at my favorite breakfast restaurant.  Simple kind of morning but it made me realize how much I love where I live and how much I enjoy days like these.  The Gators beat Tennessee so it was a nice lil Florida Saturday :-)

Into the Mix

It's mid September...how does time go by so fast?  College football started, Starbucks is selling their Pumpkin Spice Lattes, hubby makes hot chocolate in the evenings, and Bath and Body Works brought out their Leaves candles (my favorite!)...yep, fall is here!

A Hoot

Whenever I visited my family in Puerto Rico and stayed at my grandmother's house, my mom's little sister would lend us her room for us to sleep.  My sisters and I loved sleeping in her room because she would let us play with her makeup, jewelry, and play dress up.  Another thing I really loved about her room was her collection of owls.  She had tons of owl figurines.  Growing up, I took a liking to owls because it reminded me of being young and my aunt's owl collection.  When I saw that this GAP blouse had little owls on it, I was smitten.  Then when I saw how cute it looked on Beach Chic Style, I knew this shirt and I were meant to be!

What wasn't meant to be...all the dry shampoo I failed to properly mix in my hair...holy gray hair!

Pastel Fall

I've been seeing everywhere that burgundy is the "it" fall color this year; however, I've never followed color rules when it comes to seasons.  Although, I do feel more fall-ish wearing bolder colors, I just wear what I like and if it happens to be pastels - it just happens to be pastels that day.  Anyone else follow certain color combos for each season?
