Octobre

October is really flying by and that is making me kind of sad. I have been trying to go out and do things when I have free time. Most of the week is eaten up by school and doing homework. This coming weekend Stacie and I have our two weddings, so there goes my relaxation time. We're hoping that on Sunday we can go to Larriland farm and take Daniel on a hay ride, have some apple cider and do some other fun activities they have there.

I got my hair cut yesterday and finally cut some bangs back into my 'do. I look better with bangs but my hair has crazy cow licks and is super thick so it's not really easy styling my hair. We took Daniel to get some pumpkins, I picked out mine. It's a big, round baby. Daniel picked out a tiny little pumpkin for himself. I can't decide what I want to carve into mine. I always pick out a pretty intricate pattern from the carving books - we don't carve silly faces into our pumpkins! It's between skulls and a werewolf but I'm not sure what I'll decide yet.

We finally put up some decorations inside and outside of our home, or I should say I really put them up. The kids playing outside were all like "isn't it kind of early?" I told them that it's never too early to decorate for Halloween. It's kind of lame because only a few townhouses in our neighborhood really decorate for any holidays so, we're usually the only house on the block. Oh well! Someone has to bring the festivity.

With The Falling Leaves

Fall is my favorite time of the year. It's rapidly approaching as the summer draws to a close and school starts again. I am the most thankful person alive because I hate summer. I do not like the heat at all and in Maryland it's constantly soupy and disgusting outside.

There is nothing more enjoyable to me than taking a walk on a crisp afternoon in autumn, drinking some warm tea and kicking the leaves around. I absolutely love it. The thought of it fills my heart with joy. Not to mention the fashion is so much better in the fall. I am a black-on-black wearer and it's kind of hard to wear black during the summer. Jewel tones are in season, which is what I look best in. Kids are back in school during the day so that means it's a little more quiet at the mall and in stores. Fashion week happens in the fall as does just about everything else amazing and fabulous! The red cup comes out from Starbucks in November and then the holiday season starts. Every year I feel like I spend all these months leading up to October-January. I know I can't be the only one who feels this way.

So, this is my celebratory post for all things Fall related! It's August 8th, which means it's almost September, which is almost October. Just a few more months and I'll be able to wear sweaters again, bring out my boots from the deep recesses of my closet and start picking pumpkins! I'm about as giddy as one gets. In a couple days I will be reviewing some of the fall collections for make-up that have come out recently.
