It is hard to believe that in about 168 hours from now, I will have a gut full of turkey and cranberry sauce! Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite day of the year! There’s no pressure for gifts and it’s just a time to spend with family. If you’re not cooking, the only thing you have to worry about is what to wear! I think that there’s three types of ways to dress for the occassion…comfy, casual, or dressed up. I typically fall into the “casual” category but boy do I wish I could just hang around in my comfies! Which type of Thanksgiving do you dress for?

Yes, my friends, I did sit on the floor at Target to take that first picture. The life of a blogger isn’t always glamorous, folks 😂 In any case, these booties are one of my favorites I’ve bought this season. The color is perfect and they’re surprisingly comfy for having a heel. They fit true to size for me.

Abercrombie Dupe

Fall Fashion{PulloverJeansShoes}

If you’ve been eyeing the Abercrombie sherpa pullover, this is a great alternative at a cheaper price. I will say that the inside isn’t very soft but will be fine a long sleeve top underneath. I’m wearing a size small which is a bit oversized. I’m typically an xs.

Fall Decor

Home decor is just not something I’m great at but I’ve been trying a little bit harder recently. I came across this picture on Amazon and for the price I really wasn’t expecting much. I was wrong! This looks exactly like it’s pictured and adds such a nice “fall” touch. Lots of prints available.

Leopard Vest

I keep waiting to sick of leopard print like that baloney sandwich my mom packed me for 3 years in a row but it just hasn’t happened yet! This vest is a definite winner and will be a staple piece this fall/winter!

lineL’ange Curling Wand

L'Ange Curling Wand

Let me be the first to tell you that I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to hair. I’ve been straightening my hair since I was around 13 years old and that’s all I’ve been able to figure out (seriously, it’s a wonder I don’t still wear butterfly clips) That is until NOW! I have finally found a wand that I can use and actually holds the curls all day long. You can currently save 20% when you use code 698299.

Lighted String Lights

This was probably the best $8 I’ve spend in a long time on Amazon. They definitely added just what I needed to “fallerize” (new word!) my apartment.

Camo Rain Boots

I’m still debating whether I’m more obsessed with camo or leopard print but I think we should just call it a tie. These rain boots are everything I could’ve wanted and more! Make sure to use code FRIENDS2018 to save 25% at checkout! I find these true to size.

Fall Outfit

Apples, and pumpkins, and ghosts, oh my! We’ve officially entered Fall and I couldn’t be happier! Call me basic but Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the summertime but there comes a point where I no longer crave the heat and desire that crisp air and all the “fall-ness” that goes along with it. Here’s a little post with 7 ways to embrace that Fall air and make the most of the season.

*This post contains affiliate links. For more information, please see my disclosure*

1. Go Apple Picking

It’s officially “drag your boyfriend apple picking” season which is my favorite Fall activity! We go to the same apple orchard every fall and I wish I could go all year round. Between the crisp apples and the cider donuts, there is truly nothing better. We unfortunately haven’t had a chance to go this year yet, so I’ll leave you with a picture from 9 years ago…how’s that for a “legit” blogger?

2. Decorate with ALL the Fall things

Nothing gets you in the Fall mood more than coming home to a house that looks like it just blew Fall chunks everywhere! Here’s a few ideas to make your home a “Fall-y” one.3. Cozy up with Cardigans

As soon as there’s a little chill in the air, I bust out all the cozy cardigans. Some would say, I’m cardigan obsessed but I just say that I know what I like.

4. Make Caramel Apple Sangria

After apple picking, lots of people like to bake pies and apple crisps but I’d much prefer a little sangria.

To make my favorite sangria, all you  have to do is add the following ingredients and mix together:

  • 1 (750 ml) bottle pinot grigio -or your favorite mild white wine
  • 1 cup caramel flavored vodka
  • 6 cups apple cider
  • 2 medium apples -cored and chopped

5. Carve a pumpkin

I have the hardest time carving pumpkins but these somehow came out pretty decent! I think it was the added aforementioned sangria that made all the difference 🙂

Fall activities

Here’s a few things you may need to carve a pumpkin of your own:

Carving Set With Stencils
Electric Carver
Stencils
3D Pumpkin Designs
Stainless Steel Carving Kit

6. Buy ANYTHING Barefoot Dreams

If you have yet to try this brand, you are truly missing out. I was a little slow to jump on the bandwagon because I didn’t think anything could possibly be worth the splurge but boy, was I wrong! I can be seen below actually snuggling with my cardigan in the car.

7. Sit by the fire

I know, it’s not quite that cold yet but there is just something so calm and relaxing about a fire, am I right? As you can see below, I clearly do not have a real fireplace but a gal can dream, right? I ordered this tv stand that comes with an electric fireplace and absolutely love it!

Where in the World did the summer go? Last time I checked, it was the Fourth of July and now here we are entering September. I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun! As much as I do love the summer, I find the clothing to be quite boring. Maybe it’s just because I’m always a sweaty miserable mess. Since there’s crazy laws requiring that I put on clothes, it feels like I’m forced to throw on any ol’ lightweight item.  Yet as soon as that fall weather rolls in, I’m like a new woman excited about clothing again! Fall fashion is my absolute favorite and it’s so fun each year to try new trends and styles. So, here’s five fall trends you need to add to your wardrobe before that first leaf falls to the ground.

1. Mules

Apparently, shoes with backs are for nerds this season. Mules are trending in a big way and I’m not even mad about it. So be cool and buy some mules.

5. Rust

This seems to be the “it” color this season and I ain’t even mad about it! I tend to think of the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz when I hear the word “rust” but boy is this color pretty!
