Fall Style Round-up

There are a few standout styles I am gaga over this fall.

ONE: FUR VESTS
Rachel Zoe is forever sporting Fur Vests. Now I am not sure I can pull off a vest as big and puffy as hers but I love Olivia's black vest. I think a black fur vest looks so chic with an all black outfit and cute shoes!



HALSTON HERITAGE FUR VEST



TWO: STRIPES + BLAZERS
I adore this combo. I think it is such a polished look.




ELIZABETH AND JAMES BLAZER



A.L.C STRIPPED SHIRT



THREE: RED + CAMEL
I love this color combo!! J Crew has some great red and camel outfit ideas like this outfit.



CHUNKY CASHMERE CREWNECK



CAFE CAPRI



FOUR: MUSTARD YELLOW DRESS
Just found out the pink H&M dress I blogged about also comes in this fabulous mustard yellow. I love this color for fall! The perfect fall shade of yellow.




ZARA V-BACK DRESS



TIBI ONE SHOULDER DRESS
I think this dress would be perfect for a fall wedding! and it's on sale right now!






FIVE: SCARF + LEGGINGS + BOOTS
This casual look may just be my favorite because I know I will be sporting it all fall. It is comfortable and looks stylish! The perfect Mommy go-to outfit!





Vince makes some of my favorite tees because they are long enough to wear with leggings.
VINCE BOATNECK T-SHIRT



VINCE WHITE TEE



DVF SCARF



STEVE MADDEN INTYCE BOOTS
These are my favorite flat boots. I have them in the cognac color pictured and light tan and wear them both all the time. They work perfect over leggings and jeans! If you need boots for fall I highly suggest these!


What are your favorite fall trends? Will you be sporting any of these?

Feta Artichoke Dip


It is no secret I am a huge fan dips, as you might notice I post alot of dip recipes. Appetizers are my favorite genre of food by far! This recipe is a family favorite we have been making for years. It is easy to throw to together and always a crowd pleaser! We serve ours with pita chips or crackers. Enjoy!

**BTW You might have noticed a few new tabs at the top of my blog. I am working on getting my recipes all in one place for you guys. All you will have to do is click on that tab for a complete recipe list, should make finding past recipes much easier. It is taking awhile because I have to go back and find every recipe but I hope to have it finished over the weekend!**

Obsessions

FALL THEME PARTIES
I love fall and I am gaga over all these fabulous party ideas. Yes to the metallic pumpkins, pumpkin cooler, pumpkin carved address numbers and fabulous tablescapes!







BIANCHI CABERNET
I mentioned this wine awhile back over the holidays last year but we just picked up another bottle this week and it is a fabulous Cab. It is on sale right now at Harris Teeter for $19.99. It is so smooth with a great light finish.



SPOON FORK BACON
If you aren't familiar with this fabulous food blog you need to be. Amazing recipes and gorgeous pictures! Here are a few recents that have my stomach growling: Potato Rings with Homemade Buttermilk Ranch, Salted Carmel and Bacon Ice Cream Sandwiches, Fig and Caramelized Onion Tart. Truly amazing recipes here a must read!






HUNGER GAMES BOOKS
At first I was super skeptical about this teen series, but I just finished the first book and I am hooked! I can't wait to start the second book Catching Fire. I don't even know how to even describe this series but I promise these books rock!

Feeling Pink

Lately I have been really smitten with pink interiors. I see no way the hubby would ever let me put too much pink in our house but I would love to add some accents. I think pink can almost be a neutral if you pick the right shade. I love it paired with gray or black.










How amaze is this Christmas Tree. The perfect hint of pink for the holidays.



Since I probably won't be adding too much pink into our home decor, I am seriously considering buying one of these pink DVF numbers to fulfill my pink lust!

House Wants

We are no where near ready to move or renovate our house but I definitely day dream all the time about things that I want when either happens. Here is my growing list of things I deem essential for our next house!


SUBWAY TILE
I love,love, love subway tile. It is such a clean and modern look. Would love this in my kitchen or bathroom one day.






A KICK ASS LAUNDRY ROOM
Our washer and dryer our in our garage and I hate having to go out there to do laundry. My dream is to have a fabulous huge laundry room one day.





WALLPAPER
I am dying to wallpaper something in my house. My top choices are the bathroom or entryway.








WALK-IN CLOSET/DRESSING ROOM
This is a must have in my book. I need somewhere pretty to house all my clothes, shoes, and purses!





That's not too much to ask for right?
