fall...?

where did the summer go?!? 

it got away too quickly and now i'm already dreaming about pumpkin latte's and apple cider, sweater and boot weather, halloween costumes and parties, and when the leaves start to change color and the air is a little crisp. yes, fall is one of my favorite seasons.

but before i totally throw summer completely away, i am going to enjoy every single night that i can to enjoy drinks outdoors with friends. that, i promise. and this weekend was no exception! labor day weekend brought lots of catching up, lots of outdoor at night activities, and a lot of relaxation. wooosahhhhhhhh. it felt good.

i didn't get a ton of pics of the weekend (go figure) but my best friend did snap this one of us out on friday night:

i don't think there are words to describe how wonderful it was to catch up with her, as well as get to know her new boo. <3

would it be wrong to vow to take more pics? i feel like i make that promise to myself all of the time and then i fail miserably. but...i am! i promise!

D's fashion inspiration

there's no joking here--i love fashion.

and i love looking at really good fashion blogs.

so it's no surprise when i say that i spend hours looking through my google reader and saving pics to my tumblr of outfits that i L.O.V.E.

with that being said, here's what i am looking forward to this fall:

perfect work outfit. it's stylish, comfy, cute. definitely something that can be dressed up and down.

yes please to these glasses. i want. i need. that's it.

another perfect work outfit. i shouldn't love stripes but i do. i just can't help it.

this isn't good for fall but i will find a way to rock something similar.

and here's an update on shop free september:

i cleaned the space under my desk at work and found not one, not two but three pairs of shoes that i totally forgot i had and i love. seriously? this is ridiculous. i wonder what else i will be able to find this month. either way, it makes me happy because now i have some new stuff to think about wearing.

thank you shop free september.
