Weekday Musings

Eating | When the leaves start turning, it's soup season! We're knee deep in chili, tom ka gai and butternut squash soup and we're loving every minute!

Home*Work | We're in dire need of a new mattress and have been thinking about getting a Casper. Any recommendations out there? 

Crushing On | I'm a rebel through and through! I'd pinky promised one holiday decoration purchase per season... But OMG even for Halloween?! No way, Jose! We're now the proud owners of a version of this adorable banner and these black kitty lights... Whoops!

Reading | Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl. Although it's quick witted and a bit crass, my take? There are many books in the sea and this is not one I'm reading for keeps!

Thankful For | You guys! Repeat after me... Dry shampoo, dry shampoo, dry shampoo! Give this one a try and I promise you'll be #THANKFUL

Thinking About | Montana! We're headed home for Thanksgiving and I'm so excited to spend time with my family and the big sky. 

Watching | Fresh Off the Boat, The Mindy Project and Project Runway on the regular! Our faves are back so you know that means scheduled couch time - whoop whoop!

Wearing | During Rag & Bone's annual friends and family sale I was fortunate to snag these booties and they're worth every penny. Don't mind me, I'll just be over here scheming on how to add another pair to my wardrobe!

Now... What's new pussy cat?! 

Halloween Edit '16

Hey guys, Halloween is right around the corner!! Are you ready?? I hauled out our favorite decor items October 1st despite protests from the hubs.  It's no secret Halloween is my favorite holiday so here are a few items to help get you in the spirit...

Life by Design

Hello lovelies, I hope you're surviving this election season and keeping that sparkly smile! Here are a few details of life lately...

*I've already said it but I'm saying it again: I'm beyond thankful for my new carry-on! From Louisiana to Tennessee, I've been one traveling woman! The one thing missing from this bag of style and function? An espresso machine! Maybe it's because I'm in my third decade but OMG I am wiped! Traveling is really taking its toll. Any tips out there on how to survive the budding life of a road warrior?

*But on the brighter side... it's fall... and you know what that means?! Boots, pumpkin spice lattes and my favorite holiday is right around the corner! Despite protests from the Hubs, my Halloween decorations were up on October 1st - pumpkins, squash, candle sticks and skull included! Now it's just 25 days before trick-or-treaters grace our front stoop! I'm ready for you - bring the troops!

*One of the perks of this fair city is going to Nats games. I love the festive gear, the excitement in the air and... the HOT DOGS (with ALL the fixings!)  And now that the team is in the playoffs, I bought these sweet lil espadrilles to celebrate. What a steal, am I right?!

*Besides a new pair of shoes, architecture is another thing that gives my heart a flutter... Add in clean lines and a modern aesthetic and I'm sure to have a heart attack! Although much of what's in DC is classic in style - there are a few total swoon worthy buildings like Union Station. This stunner is not only a hub for transportation but boasts a vaulted ceiling 96 feet high! Sheesh, instead of stop and smell the roses - stop and drink it all in!  We may not be in the District forever so I'm trying to value every minute.

Now what's happening in your neck of the woods?!
