It always takes me a long time to get in the mood for fall. I am just not a huge fan of the cold weather. And then usually, by the time I enjoy dressing for fall, its the dead of winter. Bluck.

Anywho, I am starting to feel inspired! Some of the images below are just how I want to dress lately: simple, warm, layered, darker hues with pops of white or red thrown in (for kicks). And the first one almost sort of reminds me of my wedding dress, which I just purchased this weekend (HOLY CRAP-OLA)!

ALSO, I weeded out my closet for this season and have two GIANT bags to sell/get rid of. I really love this part, because I end up selling a few things and then buying one nice thing in exchange, for the new season. Its a great way to change up my wardrobe for the coming season. Plus, it gives me a great feeling of accomplishment when my whole closet is neat and tidy, and trimmed of the fat.

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention it? Our engagement session with geneoh photo hit the blog. They turned out so sweet, and exactly what we wanted. Thanks again Gene (all images copyright Gene, obviously)!!! (More here.)

I wish I had more monies. If I had more monies, I could buy the following things. Are you guys lusting over equally as functional and seasonal items as I am right now? Or is it just me?

This Parka! Is so perfect!!


Or actually, maybe this one too.


And then these:


And these/maybe these:

But most of all, ANY OF THESE!



Oh well, may have to wait until I can put 'em on the Christmas list!!

MAN, I have been really bad at updating my outfit photos to the wardobe_remix group lately... and even to my Flickr at all!

Anywho, here are some outfits of late. Today a bunch of us went to the apple orchard and picked appples! We also stopped at a roadside stand and got apple butter, root beer, candy and baked goods (yummmyyyy!). We also spotted Christopher Straub from last season of Project Runway? It was a good day. I'll post pictures soon.

I just happened to find the funniest blogger on the planet. Via east side bride, this blogger does happen to talk about her own wedding plans, but describes her plans in a way that makes them oh I dont know HILARIOUS and COMPLETELY UNBORING, like my plans are! This is a taste (okay and maybe this). But I highly suggest you start with this, and move backwards from there.

Also, I think everyone could benefit from a lovely cameo ring like the ones above, made by Erie Basin.

Camping will friends at Jay Cooke State Park was the best. Fall colors, cool weather, bacon, chili and banjos. Can't wait to do it again someday!!!
