Boot Loot 2011

It's that time of the year again, the time so many girls get very excited for...it's time for boots! I love boots and even though it's the end of October, the temperatures have been fluctuating a lot here so I have been switching up my daily style of shoe choice based on whether it's 80 or 50-something degrees outside. I have already worn a few pairs of boots this fall and based on the upcoming forecast, it looks like soon I will be able to wear my boots whenever I would like. Here are some boots that have caught my eye this season...

Yes, please. And now let's look at the gorgeous backs, shall we...

So so pretty.

Love these cute booties.

Here is the taller version of the one above. I adore these. The color and the buckles. Yes and yes.

Sexy high heeled booties. Fun for a night out.

Mid-calf boots. Loving the contrast of the leather and suede.

Classics. And they'll last too.

I first spotted these in the store months ago and I look at them every time I'm in there. I like.

Super cute camel booties.

These look comfortable. And I like the gray option too.

How fun are these pink Hunter's?! I have them in brown and they're my go-to for rainy or snowy days, plus they are really comfortable.

Or these bright pink Sperry's are just as fun. When it's gloomy outside and you're not feeling it, these could be the perfect remedy.

Time for Halloween

It's almost mid October which means that it's time for Halloween decorations and party planning. There have been a bunch of adorably decorated doorsteps popping up in our neighborhood and I love to see all of them when we walk around. I think it's really fun to decorate the inside and outside of my home for the fall and Halloween season.

Happy Halloween!

It's Fall Y'all

Fall officially began last Friday and I could not be more excited. Along with the cooler weather, fall also includes great clothes and boots which I am so excited about because of all the wonderful textures and layering. I also love everything else that fall brings with it, the leaves changing colors, pumpkin patches, football, apple picking, and homemade soup. Here are some of my favorite elements that come along with fall...

Pretty outerwear, like this camel cape.

Light scarves! I'm loving the mix of 

plaid and leopard print on this scarf.

The perfect pumpkin wreath

Stunning.

A gorgeous fall flower arrangement

Pretty mercury glass pumpkins

Yay! Time for pumpkin muffins!

Cute little pumpkin salt & pepper cellars

Soup - even better if it's served directly out of a pumpkin 

that has been transformed into an adorable bowl.

Sparkly glass acorn vase fillers

Pretty porch displays

Simple rattan pumpkins

Happy Fall!

Bag Lady

I am an accessories girl. I absolutely adore clothes, but I love accessories. I get giddy over shoes, bags, jewelry, belts, scarves, etc. I just love how accessories can really change an outfit. I love that accessories can make a go-to dress or outfit feel fresh and new. Accessories are so fun to me and there are so many great options. With the beginning of fall literally starting tomorrow I decided to share some handbags and clutches that I think are great for the upcoming season.

Polka dotted clutch with brown buckle detailing. Sold!

I love anything in cobalt. And I adore the gold tipped point on this clutch.

Hello bright pink stripe. You just made my day.

Another great envelope clutch...this time in leopard!

Absolutely adore the contrast. So fantastic.

My husband would laugh if I purchased this bag because of it's mini size. I tend to carry too much stuff around in my bags (unless I'm carrying a clutch for an evening), so this darling little bag is not very practical for me, but I still think it's super cute.

Gah! This color blocking rocks. I like a lot. And you can't see it in this image, but the short handle is another shade of gorgeous blue! Swoon x's 100.

This bag is also a bit small, but it's just too pretty to ignore.

This color is complete eye candy to me. I love the shape and vintage feel as well.

Gorgeous classic. Goes with everything.

I really love the zebra print. 

Kelly green goodness. 

Yes please. The colors are amazing.

So, I know this is not a handbag, but can we please discuss the awesomeness of this duffle bag?! Slap sequins on anything and I'm a happy girl. I am crazy about this bag. For reals. 

Fall offically begins tomorrow!
