Five Faves

Wow, is it really already Thursday?!  My goodness this week has flown!  I don’t work on Fridays as it is, so by having Monday off and tomorrow off, I think I have officially had one of the shortest work weeks EVER.  No complaining here!  How was your Labor Day weekend?  Ours was FULL and FABULOUS.  Work is pretty busy this week (gee, five days of work packed into three, I wonder why!), and our nights have been even busier so it leaves a less than desirable amount of time to post regularly.  I’m not complaining though, I love a busy lifestyle!  It’s nice to be kept on my toes.  First of all, I have to say that your comments on the post below were AWESOME; you recommended some pretty amazing candles and scents that I can’t wait to try.  If you are in the market for a new candle, I would highly recommend checking out the previous post and reading everyone’s comments.  SO FUN!  Now, let’s talk about more ‘faves’.  Besides candles, here are a few other favorites of mine for this lovely time of year. 

1.  Chanel’s Kaleidoscope nail polish.  I’m actually going to the nail salon tomorrow to sport this beauty!

2.  Sassy rain boots – I bought these green Burberry ones a few years ago to wear in the spring, but they are super cute with black leggings and a cream scarf.  LOVE the green.  Aren’t rain boots the best?!  Fun and practical at the same time.

3.  Lip gloss – Okay, quite honestly, my lips are NEVER without lip gloss regardless of the season, but I feel the fall and winter months are even more crucial.  (1) I am paler than I am in the summer, of course, and having that extra hue of color on my lips is so helpful in detracting from my lack of glow.  Oh, which, by the way, bronzer should probably be #1 on this list, but perhaps a post dedicated entirely to a necessity like bronzer would be more appropriate.  (2)  I want to keep these puckers hydrated!  Chapped lips are certainly not on my list of faves and I know my hubby appreciates this.

MAC – Local Colour and Viva Glam

Nars – Pillow Talk (not the color shown)

And Juicy tubes are always appearing at the bottom of my purse.

4.  Homemade gingerbread – I grew up in TX where cold weather is pretty non existent for the majority of the year.  Every year, on the first day the weather provided the slightest little nod towards fall, my mom would greet me after school with a pan of homemade gingerbread.  The smell still floods my heart with memories.  (Yes, trying to concoct a gluten free version – a little nervous; I’ll let you know how it goes!)

5. You’ve Got Mail – This movie gets me so excited for this time of year.  I love the scene where Tom Hanks and the kiddos partake in the fall festival and walk around the golden hued streets of NYC.  Oh, and I absolutely adore her little shop.  AND, I love watching everyone sip their coffee and say things like,  “…a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils”.  Le Sigh.  Perf.

Okay, these are not officially part of my list, but are definitely a love interest. The following earrings from Anthropologie are currently NOT in my possession, and MAY or MAY NOT be in route to my house. I’m just saying…

IN LOVE.

What do you get excited to wear, eat or watch around this time of year?

Have a WONDERFUL rest of your week and weekend!

Hubby is training for a triathlon and part of his training includes a half marathon this weekend.  I am SO excited to watch him and am SO proud of him!!  I will definitely bring the camera.

Blessings!/XOXO
