Halloweeny Friday Favs

Happy Halloween! I can't believe it's already the last day of October, but I am more than ready to dive head first into the holiday season. 1. Picked up the necessities at Trader Joes.. you know cookie butter and wine. I also picked up a few more cute lil' pumpkins and some cinnamon sticks for some mulled wine this weekend. 2. It's always a happy mail day when my new Rocksbox arrives, loving my new pieces. 3. I was excited to win one of the raffles at last week's mixer...

Easy DIY Fall Decor

Adding some DIY fall decor to the house made it feel more homey, and I loved how easy this mini-project was. All you need is a bag of candy corn, a hurricane glass, and an unscented candle. I placed the candle in the empty hurricane glass and poured the candy corn in until about half full. Can't wait to light it on Halloween admist the orange twinkle lights on the mantle. What are some of your favorite DIY fall decor project...

Disney and Brunching Weekend

I love taking Fridays or Mondays off to extend the weekend, and Friday called for a day at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios riding rides and some day drinking. Started the day off at Animal Kingdom where I rode Dinosaur for the first time and took another ride on one of my favorite coasters: Expedition Everest. Afterwards it was time for an African Margarita (Sauza Gold tequila, Van der Hum Tangerine Liqueur from South Africa, sweet and sour, and lime juice) and some photo...

Fridays are for Disney

Yesterday was my Friday (whoo hoo!) as I took today off to spend the day at Disney. I keep going to Epcot for the concerts at the Food & Wine Festival, but haven't gone to explore the other parks in a while so I figured Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios needed some love today and hopefully some Magic Kingdom love too if I have the energy. 1. The last work mixer of the year was last night, and now it's time to vote on who's was best *ahem the tailgate last month was amazing*. But last night's...

Pumpkin Picking

I'm so excited to finally go pumpkin picking this weekend. I love the whole experience... the hayrides, the corn maze, and picking out the perfect pumpkins for  carving into jack-o-lanterns. Pumpkin Picking by greenfashionistablog It's still not that chilly yet here (in fact last year I wore a tank top and shorts to the corn maze and pumpkin patch... not complaining!) so no need to bundle up under sweaters and scarves just yet. The perfect pumpkin patch outfit for me is a graphic...

Denim & Stripes

I love that even though it's been cooling off, I can still wear most of my favorite dresses but just throw a jacket on over it for chilly mornings. I wore this outfit out to breakfast at the Halloween spot last weekend, and it was the perfect combination of casual chic for weekend fun and errands. Dress & Jacket - ON | Bag & Sandals - Tory Burch | Necklace - Kate Spade This was the first outfit I posted to The Blogger Closet Instagram over the weekend, I wanted to...

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

As much as I love seasonal festive recipes, I'm not a huge fan of things that are overly "pumpkin" this time of year. Which is probably why I prefer pumpkin cheesecake over pumpkin pie because it's not an overwhelming pumpkin taste. So, when I came across this recipe on Pinterest I knew I had to make it, but was nervous that it may be too pumpkin-y. I was pleasantly surprised that not only were the cookies delish and the pumpkin taste wasn't overwhelming, but they were soft and chewy. Ingredients 1...

Relaxing Weekend

I'm so thankful to be coming off a relaxing weekend, which was just what I needed after being so busy lately. Friday, I enjoyed the soup, salad, and breadsticks lunch at Olive Garden with some work peeps and that evening called for some cocktails by the pool and some pizza to kick off the weekend. I also finally got my hands on the caramel apple vodka which is delish! Saturday, H and I went to a local breakfast spot that goes all out with Halloween decor and I went a little nuts snapping...
