Happy First Friday of Fall! (THERE’S an alliteration for you!) This first (partial) week of fall has already brought about new Starbucks seasonal lattes, outfit inspiration, and pumpkin mania. (I am SO excited about the gold and white pumpkins I scored at Target!) I only wish it was cooler than 80 degrees here in Miami so that I could bust out my fall sweaters and boots. Boo.
My little sis, Megan, came down last night from FSU to surprise our mom for the weekend! (She was definitely surprised.) It’s so nice that she could come down and I’m excited to spend the weekend doing fun sisterly bonding things. Like shopping, obvi. (BTW- we also surprised our younger sister Kaitlyn… we blindfolded her and took her to the airport to pick up Megan. She had no idea what was going on, it was HYSTERICAL. To throw her off the trail, I told her she needed to wear sneakers and bring a sweater and water bottle LOL. She was convinced that the surprise was a sister hazing or something and that we were going to leave her in the woods somewhere LOL! WE’RE SO BAD.)
OH! So, thank you to everyone who came out last weekend to shop with me at Bloomingdale’s! I had so much fun and am so grateful you guys came out! (Special shout out to Hana from A Head Over Heels and Kristin from The Fancy Things for coming out! LOVE YOU!) I couldn’t link my outfit on Like to Know it, so wanted to share the deets here:

So tell me in the comments: what are you up to this weekend?? Did you watch ‘Scream Queens’? Are you prepping for fall? Have a great weekend! Thanks for reading.
Sister hazing sounds like fun -at least for the one not being hazed, lol. I really lke your cape. I always think they look great when other people wear them, and then I try and . . .
My birthday just passed, so i may just check out those links and put those sale’s codes to work . . .
LOL it’s so beyond nuts, I was like… why would you think that THAT was where this was all going?? Her second guess was that we were helping someone invite her to homecoming. I think she was kind of disappointed by the ACTUAL surprise LOL! I totally know what you mean about the cape… they seem SO INTENSE. This one was cool because it looked more like it was a blazer you draped over your shoulders, instead of just a full on cape, you know what I mean?? I love it!! It’s so cool. Happy Birthday!! I hope you buy yourself something special, you deserve it 😉 xo
I’m loving fall! It actually feels like it here in North Carolina! I’m guessing Miami doesn’t have much of a fall!
Thanks for the Serial update! I can’t wait. I’ve also been hearing good things about Limetown – check it out!
Have a great weekend! xo
Ooooh what’s Limetown?? I have to check it out! I’m so jealous, the weather in NC is always so beautiful… plus you get SEASONS! People always say how jealous they are of Miami’s weather, but really, it’s awful. It’s just hot ALL THE TIME. It seems fun when it’s freezing, I know, but it definitely gets old. Just think of how excited you are for a new season to start! We never feel that way 🙁 xo
