Fall Love.

On this lovely 65 degree Texas November day, I am glad to pronounce that Fall is my top favorite season.  It's not boring and depressing like the winter, and here in Texas the weather is perrrrfect compared to the spring and summer months of blistering heat.

Not to mention, there's no shortage of foods like apples, squash, pomegranates and sweet potatoes etc...

And gorgeous red, orange, brown, and rich earth-tone hues...

Plus, it comes with things like Thanksgiving and the MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE (there's a chance I look forward to this more than Christmas sometimes...)

And of course, all of the above in one way or another give licence to wear those rich lovely colors in the form of sweaters and jackets and scarves all the time... and I love ANY excuse to wear them...


And if I'm being honest, I'd have to say that I also think fall is the most romantic time of year.  I mean think about it... boys look super delicious in sweaters, and scarves make you feel super pretty like a princess, and what's better on a cold evening then holding someones hand?? I can't think of anything right now.

I think I reeeeally love fall though because at the end of fall comes Christmas, and fall is this big long, golden-colored Christmas count-down filled with Christmas songs and movies and parties, and lottttts of family and buying/making presents, and remembering to be grateful for the people that mean the most to you.  I'm sort of in love with fall.

Grateful for:
New brake pads.

Pea Green and Mustard Yellow.

My fave colors...  yes, it's true, they are pea green and mustard yellow.  I thoroughly enjoy them by themselves, and even more especially together. Don't freak out--it doesn't look like baby poop when you put them together the right way.  I promise.

Do you trust me?

fashion chic: pea green


Baby Poop color can be vintage aaand modern.


Beautiful in a fairy-tale sort of way in weddings...


...and can also be lush and rustic.


Yum.

Yellow cardigan over a wedding dress??? Yes PLEEEEASE!!!


Oh my I love this. Sooo fabulous.


Super ornate... but aren't the colors delectable??


Bright and sunny and sparkly and symmetrical.  Lovely.

A dash of sophistication if you please.

Add some green and your space will NEVER be without imagination...



Green/Yellow shag carpet = super rad and sooo hardcore in your jammin' room.


Pretty pastel pallets make for the perfect room to indulge in some sweets.



These colors are also gorgeous in vintage, shabby chic spaces:




...

And ultimate fashion use of golden and mossy hues??
CARDIGANS.
Of course.





Accessorized with complementary scarves and bags.
Perfect.
Delicious.

Green and Yellow are what I would call the ultimate WHIMSICAL color combination.
I loooove how bold and playful it is; especially when you make something sophisticated and traditional out of pea and mustard.  It's definite whimsy.



Grateful for: President Uchtdorf's talk on creativity and compassion.  Sooo grateful.
