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?!
