Oh heyyy Fall..

Hi ya'll!

I know it's been nearly a week since an update. I'm so sorry I'm not good at updating, clearly my life is not exciting enough to update daily. :) I've been SUPER busy! When not working (which feels like takes up about 98.2% of my time) I'm babysitting, spending time with my family, keeping my house straight, facebooking via my iphone, on pinterest also via my iphone, or watching tv. I sometimes don't even turn on my computer! Anywhoodles.. here's an update of what's going on! :)

I nearly made myself sick/depressed watching all the 9.11.01 memorial saga on television. Thank you Dateline for a restless night of sleep Friday night. My heart breaks for those families and we will never forget, but after Friday night I had to stop watching the coverage. Too much for me to take!

Saturday after sleeping in late and trying to get over my horrible night of sleep, I got up and got ready to head over to Lancaster, SC to see a friend and sorority sister get hitched! It was a beauitful and sweet ceremony. Unfortunately, dummy me didn't whip out a camera or phone or nothing to take a picture, but her photog and her momma did so those will appear at some point! :) It was a beautiful day Saturday and I actually enjoyed the 90min ride jamming out to The Band Perry in the car there & back. Good chance to clear my mind!
I got home and finished watching the USC/GA game.. what a nail bitter. I wasn't exactly thrilled about the outcome, but if Clemson didn't get a pretty win against Wofford, then I'm glad USC's win wasn't pretty either!

Speaking of Football.. I'm going to go to Tailgate at the USC/Vandy game next weekend. I AM NOT a CAROLINA fan, I will NEVER be a Carolina fan, and it will KILL me to put on USC colors, BUT I enjoy a good time at a tailgate with a friend and will meet some people, so I'll PRETEND to like them for the day. That is it. I will have on orange somewhere, even if it's my underwear! ;)
I'm hoping to get a ticket to the Clemson/Boston College game in Oct. so if anybody has any leads on free/cheap tix holla! :)

SO! I think this week I'm most excited about this forcast! A high of 73 & partly to mostly cloudy! :) Saturday is going to be a perfect day to get stuff done around the house like, decorate for fall, plant some fall-like flowers in my front porch pot, watch football, potentially thrift store shop for some DIY crafts/sewing projects that have my interest on pinterest etc. It's been like 7 weeks since I've had a Saturday that wasn't devoted to doing something, going somewhere, or in generally not doing whatever the heck I want to do! :)

So in case you forgot or were unaware FALL is my FAVORITE season EVER! So I have changed my desktop background (from Lilly patterns, which is sad, but she'll be back in Spring) on my work computer to have some rotating fall images all day long for my viewing pleasure and I thought I'd share a few here! Love Love Love.

Fashion Friday

Here is the first edition of Fashion Friday! I thought I'd share a few things in fashion that have caught my eye as of late. 

Have to admit I've been bitten by the "I'm so sick of this hot humid SC summer, I'd like fall now please bug!" I don't know if it's because football media day was this week or what, but I'm seriously craving fall air, football Saturdays and FALL FASHION! There are several "fall items" I've placed on my never ending "need/want/gotta have" list!

The first is a pair of brown boots, I'd prefer something with little to no heel since I'll probably be wearing them to work nearly  everyday! The Nordstroms Anniversary Sale Catelog came in the mail last week and these little beauties caught my eye!

Unfortunately, I will not be purchasing the Tory Burtch version.. but I am going to attempt to find a knock off at TJMaxx the official store of "the look for less!"

Again, I'm itching for fall, and to me fall = football. Now that I work in an office, and an office no less that has like 2 Clemson fans... I need to insert some orange & purple into my work wardrobe so that I have some spirit on Friday's this fall & can tick off the Carolina fans with my bright orange! Love it! Anyways. My new fav. designer that I've discovered is Judith March. I already own 2 dresses, one of which was in my birthday post. Anyways, she makes some ADORABLE gameday dresses. I probably will not buy these because I don't go but to one Clemson game for the season (if I'm lucky) and they aren't work appropriate, but they were just too cute not to share!!

I will probably just stick with TJMaxx, Ross, Kohls or Loft to find some cute work attire that is in orange and purple, but I WILL wear Clemson colors on Friday! I won't let this Cocky town get to me! :)

I looked at the Coach website because well I need another Coach bag like I need a hole in my head, but eh, you never know could be the bag of your life just sitting their waiting on you to purchase it! I'm going to Myrtle Beach 2 times in August, and then another time Labor Day weekend. I'm sure I'll make my annual trip into the Coach Outlet while I'm there one (or all of those times) & find a new fall bag! In the mean time I can dream b/c the $780something bag won't EVER be coming home with me! But this color is amazing for fall!

And the finishing touch.... Jewlery! I seriously have a shoe and jewlery obsession.. I have so much "costume" jewlery it's ridiculous and I'm running out of room for it all! Whoopsie! I like Forever 21 Jewlery it's simple, cute and SUPER cheap.. or in this economy priced right. Target even has great, cheap jewlery! Every now and then I'll splurge and buy a nice piece, but I always try to find classic pieces that will be timeless and go with most any outfit. I got a monogram necklace at Christmas and I adore it! I wear it most everyday, it's sterling silver and it's my monogram how could I NOT love it! I got it at Handpicked, which mom and I refer to as "our jewler." Well I was looking at their website and found this cute little bow necklace that would be a great edition to the monogram necklace for a layered look. I LOVE to layer jewlery, the more the merrier. A bow AND a monogram, could we get any more southern? I think not.

I also want some Peacock Earrings for the fall!



 Well.. I think that about covers this edition of "I wish it was closer to fall edition of Fashion Friday!" Ha :) In the mean time I'll just wear my Lilly Pulitzer, Jack Rogers and sundresses while drinking something cold in the AC! Have a great weekend everyone! Stay cool... literally! ;)

PS. I LOVE THIS! & I will definately be figuring out a wall in my bedroom to do it in! Finally an idea for all  my designer bags I've held onto!
