I decided to make pumpkin bread (my first attempt, ever) and although it didn't quite turn out great psentation wise (when I went to flip the bread out of the pan, half of it stuck in the pan, despite greasing it. I don't think I baked it long enough, as the middle was a little gooey), it tasted so great. I'm a huge fan of pumpkin, especially in the fall, it's so festive! However, next time I'm going to replace all that sugar though, with apple sauce and see if it turns out as well. Finally, there was some left over batter which I poured into my mini-muffin tins and they turned out perfectly.

Ardene necklace & Michael Kors bracelet
Went out shopping the other day and rocked one of my new (fave) jackets. I can't get enough. On another note, my bff was rockin' her socks above her boots alllllll last year and I tried to tweet (her) a photo of me coppin' her style, but my photos + twitter were not working for the life of me. I decided to roll these over-the-knee socks down and keep 'em mid-knee. The shopping trip was less than successful (just bought a couple necklaces and a couple Christmas gifts - yes, Christmas gifts) but hey, probably for the better.

When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change colour, it's a sign that fall is here. I like to make the transition into fall by switching it up to my more 'cool-weather' perfums. I'm always drawn to two scents: spicy for fall/winter, and citrusy for spring/summer. Of course there are other notes I enjoy, but the latter are often my immediates. I also find perfume holds crazy nostalgia and sometimes, after a season of wearing a certain scent, you never want to wear it again, or, everytime you wear it, it doesn't seem right because that time in your life has past and you need something different (too deep?). However, for me, this is my third fall and when I broke out my two fave scents, I will still as in love with them as the last two years.

While driving home from lunch, we stopped at hubs' old elementary school and he started to reminisce about his childhood and what it was like going to school. These rocks are on top of a hill, and sort of make up some of the hill. He said in the winter, they weren't allowed to play on the rocks, but in the summer, had free reine. It was so sweet hearing him talk about it and how the school on the other side of the rocks was their rival. Even in elementary school they had rivals! So cute.
In other news, I made this skirt, top and necklace... and it doesn't happen very often (or never, actually, this is the first time) that I wear an entire outfit that I made myself. I picked up this fabric on Friday night, went home and made this circle scarf immediately. The great thing about the circle scarf, is that you can wear it multiple ways, including a skirt (just like the shredded scarf)!
