five things...

well i am just a tad late on last weeks five things.  but i thought i'd go ahead and post them anyways!!

 

a few words to keep in mind

i think it's safe to say that we all get a little caught up in our own plans from time to time.  and this poster is such a pretty reminder that we are not in charge!

macarons

okay let's be real, macarons are not one of my favorites this week!!  they are my favorite every week!!  i love them so much.  i haven't actually found a place around here that makes them.  i know of a few in atlanta, but no where in gainesville.

birthday celebrations

richard's birthday was saturday!!  i can't believe my husband is 29!!  we enjoyed the entire day!  ihop for breakfast, a round of golf {i took my kindle}, dinner and ice cream with both families!  a while back i signed us up for a few birthday freebies so his breakfast and ice cream were both free!!

loafers

i am obsessed with loafers, i've already gotten two pair this year and it's not even fall yet!  I picked up a vintage pair at mustard seed, and a burgundy pair at target.  i have not stopped wearing the target ones since i first purchased them!

 

pretty displays

isn't this votive display so beautiful!!  i want to light candles all throughout the house!!  it's such a simple idea, but these little displays would add a lovely amount of color to any room.

so those are my five favorites from this past week!!  what are some of your favorite things?  i'd love to hear from those of you who are reading these post!!  i hope you enjoy!!



fall shopping list...

i have been ridiculously busy lately!!  i haven't slept 5+ hours a night in the last few weeks, i haven't seen my best friends baby in 3 weeks, i haven't spent any money on myself in i can't even remember how long {besides the purchase below}

with that said, i also haven't spend time deciding what things are going to have to be added this fall to my closet!!  so today i did just that!!  and here are a few things i think i'll add...

animal print cardigan

i've been living in baggy tanks all summer, and plan to keep on throughout the fall {it just makes sense seeing as i sell them}.  i plan to add at least one animal print cardigans into the mix.  i've decided that i will only buy tops that are too big...they are just so much better. plus i will continue, as life is meant to be, wearing leggings nearly everyday!  and baggy tops cover the bum : )

hats

i just recently purchased this hat, from target.  i had my eye on a vintage one, but let it get away.  i really love hats, even though the daily top know i wear makes it tough.  but a hat means i don't technically have to fix my hair!  those of you who know me know this isn't exactly something i care about.

ponchos

i know, i know, some of you have a strong hatred towards the poncho.  however, i do not feel this way!!  i bought a few last year and love them!  plus easy to wear with leggings...you will learn that gets me every time.  i am working on a few for greythread right now!!

frye boots

i will have to buy a new pair of brown boots this year!  and i've wanted a pair of frye boots as far back as i can remember...they are way more than i have spent on a clothing item in a long, long time though.  but i think i may commit this year, i mean my foot isn't growing anymore!!

yes i would take a baby elephant too!

keds

i need a new pair of sneakers, my little sister thinks i should convert to vans.  i feel like i have an attachment to keds and i can't buy another brand!  plus they are really stepping it up lately with a huge range of colors and prints.

also on the list are the usuals: cardigans in neutrals, big scarves, straight jeans, wool socks, a new pair of minnetonka moccasins,

so there you have it, my can't live withouts for fall!!  what are some things on your list to buy?  and what have you already bought?
