Blue spotted tail

Fall is great, why? Well mainly there are two options of things for me to do. I can twirl around outside a midst the changing leaves while wearing my favorite tights&boots combo and holding a fancy latte of sorts or I can wear my favorite flannel pajamas and curl up on my favorite spot on the couch with Wensley while eating cheese and drinking wine and watching Christmas movies in preparation of December. GUYS, ITS HERE! And while I've managed to last this long without having a men-with-scruff-wearing-boots heart attack (who knows what the pumpkin bread currently baking in the oven will do to my heart) here are a few snapshots of my fall so far.

Dinner party extravaganza, pre-vegetable pesto pasta and post total demolition of said meal. (RIP my 'Le bon lait' milk jug. Wensley destroyed it while jumping on the table to eat the remnants of a muffin I left there one morning. THE ONE TIME I DIDN'T FINISH AN ENTIRE MUFFIN.) Lesson learned- you have to eat every bit of your meal in my house or my cat will wreck havoc. (I can handle that.)

My grandmother gifted me with this because can I get a "what what!" if you've got a giant middle child shaped chip on your shoulder. It was a delicious red with a hearty aroma and undertones of berries and 1000 year old oak with just a hint of I don't know what the heck I'm talking about.

Lazy Sundays watching "Sleepless in Seattle" and having a champagne cupcake for breakfast are becoming a necessity for me. Waking up at 6am for work at the bakery takes its toll on me and Wensley. So on Sundays we pretend we are Kate Middleton and get our princess rest.

Wensley loves his Meg Ryan rom coms. He's all like "Mom! I don't know if Harry and Sally are gonna get together!" LOLS all around Wensley, we watched it this morning.. you know what happens!

Nothing like OHMYGOSH-ITS-THAT-TIME-OF-YEAR-AGAIN-HOLIDAYS-&-FALL-&-A-BIRD-JUST-DIED-CAUSE-I-SCREAMED-SO-LOUD like a giant sparkly pumpkin on your front door.

Hope your Friday is simply spectacular!

Blue Spotted Tail- Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes have been on repeat because well there's never a reason to not listen to them. Take me away, Fleet Foxes!

Chantilly Lace

First the kitchen was my favorite part of my apartment (CHEESE, MUFFINS, AND BAKING GALORE Y'ALLS!) And then my bedroom was my favorite place ever and Robert Redford wasn't even there so you know.. BUT NOW the living room has stolen my heart. Movie marathons on my couch with every single candle lit (I'm currently watching 'Meet Me in St. Louis' and its like OMG JUDY I LUV U!) Here's some snapshots of my living room. I don't know how Wensley St. Clair managed to sneak to almost every shot. What a fame whore. He really needs to control his partying ways. He won't be cute forever.. (oh wait, yes he will!)

Lots of blankets, a door turned coffee table, candles, and Ikea things. What can I say blankets are the best! (tied with plaid wearing, bearded men buying you a cup of coffee&a scone)

After I had burned through that candle, I cleaned it out and turned it to a mini vase! (Even though every time I completely burn through a candle a little part of me dies with it.) And I used twine and butterfly paper to spruce up a wine bottle.

My most favorite side of the couch. Chest from Nashville flea market for $30 and lamp is from Ikea. Both posters are from amazon for dollars and cents and frames are from Walmart. You don't have to spend buckets of hundys to have a nice home!

Wensley, bro-dude, people are really getting tired of your antics. (BAHA JK LUV U!) Vase is from Ikea and flowers from Trader Joe's. It was so sweet, I showed up to my doorstep with these flowers and asked myself on a date. So if anyone's worried about me being a crazy single white lady, don't worry... I'm doing just fine!

'Gone with the Wind' poster so at any moment during the day I can be reminded of: "You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how." OH CLARK GABLE! How you have my heart. And basically anything else you want of mine. You want this $1 flea market cactus.. ITS YOURS!

Bagel sandwiches are my new jam. And by jam I mean nutella. Because who puts jam on toast anymore ever since nutella has been available in U.S. grocery stores!? Cheese, egg whites, onion, garlic, &spinach. Mmmhmm. Thats how I like to start my mornings (&my afternoon snacks).

Hope your day is simple splendid and filled with your favorite things!

Chantilly Lace- Big Bopper (Went to dinner at an Irish pub last week and there was a Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin cover duo there and it was wonderful. But I oh so wanted to special request this song. "BUT BABY I AIN'T GOT NO MONEY HONEY!)

Honey in the sun

Outdoor movies, popsicles, cheese&crackers, best friends, picnic baskets, never having plans while always having plans, impromptu Modern Family marathons, nail painting parties, building couches, temporary tattoos galore, cranking up the AC, scaring kids with your white legs...

PEOPLE, THIS IS WHAT SUMMER IS ALL ABOUT!

Every year summer comes along and like clockwork I bust out my countdown till when I get to wear tights again. I always forget the many pros of summer! {the Tennessee heat makes me forget for like 4 seconds and then I come to my senses.}

Baking mini cupcakes is my new favorite thing because well they are uber cute and make you feel like you are soul mates with the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk and most importantly I can convince friends they are way more healthier than the normal cupcakes I bring them and we all feel much better about ourselves. {Also I got those adorable flag toothpicks from my most favorite shop in Ohio!}

There is this thing that me and my friends do where we make a homemade pizza loaded with 2 family size bags of cheese {its safe to say that I'm single handedly supporting the cheese industry. You are welcome family cheese farmers to Wisconsin! Hope the kids are well!} and watch 'Going the Distance'. Its my most favoritest of nights. {It just barely beats The Voice and mac n cheese nights with Wensley} There is green stuffs sticking out because I guess I needz my greenzz!

Guys, my cheese man at Whole Foods gave me a a free tub of cheese. And before I died, I thanked him and flashed a smile, which of course was without a doubt a spinach in my teeth smile. Damn you strawberry and pecan salad. But for real, this cheese is like THE GREATEST! Like God himself came down and churned the cheese himself, this stuff is great.

FLAMING LIPS!!

I can't even do this show justice by writing about it. Anything I say won't convey the wondrous of this show. Giant balloons, confetti galore, human bubble, Wizard of Oz guest appearances, giant hands, lazzzer lights, bears, AND CRAZINESS ETC! I mean I didn't even do two pictures of my new favorite cheese {see above} if that tells you anything!

One of my favorite humans and my most favorite animal!

{Aunt Tessa loves her nephew, Wensley, maybe more than I do because I would never feed him food from my palm because, um, GERMS!}

Going bangless makes me feel like I'm going out without my clothes on! SO EXPOSED! My poor forehead hasn't seen the light of day in one million years. {Shield your eyes! My God, its painful!}

Hope your day is ridiculously wonderful! I'm off to drink 5 cups of coffee and frost a bijillion cupcakes for the people of Nashville {Gosh, so needy} Lets be honest I'm probably gonna get a couple muffins too!
