Fall's Calling Me...

Source

I'm not sure what it is, but there is something so invigorating about Fall. So refreshing.

I love it. I adore it. I live for Fall.

I love the weather, with its cool, crisp mornings. Going through boxes of sweaters and jeans, scarves and boots. I'm almost giddy just thinking about it! I love gazing down the long aisles of fresh school supplies! I'm a paper and pen addict, and I used to LOVE going to get new notebooks and folders... Around the end of August, I swear I can smell football season. I absolutely adored football games in high school. I cheered my freshman year, and danced the remaining three. I loved it. Most of my good guy friends played, and it was a pretty small school {Small Town Girl, exhibit A}, and we all just loved it. Being on the yearbook staff had its perks too, as we got to go down on the field to take pictures...

As you may (or may not) know, I call Kentucky my home. And while we may not be Vermont-like famous for our fall foliage, I think the photo above can atest to the fact that they are still pretty spectacular in a good year. That photo was featured in a 2002 article in Southern Living about Louisville, Ky, home of Churchill Downs and the Derby.
I am eagerly awaiting the return of Autumn...


"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face..."
Quote by John Donne



To hold me over until I actually get a chance to go shopping, here are some of my wants for this upcoming season:

I heart sweaters. Particularly sweaters in jewel tones. This lovely comes from our dear friend Ann. $39.50
I'm also loving this outfit, would be perfect for the office...

I am totally in love with JCrew's boatneck tee...and I adore the pin...$34.50

My love of handbags definitely comes into play as the seasons change...I've been on the lookout for a tan/brown "go-to" bag that I can wear with almost anything, and can hold my universe, with room to spare...And it never fails, when I find one that I adore, it is by none other than Michael Kors. I love him! He's a genius! $348.00

Well, gotta go. Work to be done!


Anyone else have a love affair with Autumn?

As corny as it sounds, I think I love fall so much because that's the time of year that Keith and I started "dating" many centuries ago, LOL. So I absolutely adore it. Cool crisp air, bright blue skies, trees on fire with color, and snuggling...yes, snuggling is a must. And considering how disappointing this summer has been, I am ready for fall, too! :D And the paper/pen addiction must be in the genes, do NOT ask my mom about my addiction! :-X
