How is it already the last Monday in October?! We are gearing up for Halloween over here by visiting one last pumpkin patch. This was actually the second time Crosby and I went to this one, but we had to bring Jeff back over the weekend. When we left our house it was cloudy and cold (and we dressed for that), but once we got there it was hot and sunny. Between the weather a wild toddler and running on little sleep we didn’t last long. But we did get to do one last lap around the pumpkin patch.

I got this top last week and love how comfortable and flattering it is. I sized up one size to a small for a more relaxed fit… and also in hopes it will fit my growing bump this winter. It’s really affordable and comes in two other colors. I LOVE the green. I’m thinking about throwing on some animal ears and wearing it on Halloween for my easy trick-or-treating costume.

Speaking of Halloween… I finally tried Crosby’s costume on her for the first time over the weekend. It did not go very well. My girlfriend is having the same problem with her little boy who is the same age as Crosby. Do all toddlers just hate dressing up? Last year I made Crosby and Mackie wear matching flamingo costumes and it was so cute and easy! I’m hoping she warms up to the costume a little more by Wednesday or we might need to make a last minute change. Fingers crossed.

Hope you had a great weekend – thank you so much for reading and following!

With less than two weeks to go until Christmas I’m sure some of you are already thinking ahead to New Years Eve. I won’t be doing much celebrating this year, (maybe from my couch with some sparkling cider) but I know a lot of you will be heading out-of-town. Las Vegas is always a popular spot to ring in the new year and I think Aria Resort and Casino would be the perfect place to stay if you’re thinking about heading out there. The location is pretty great, it’s very central on the strip with a tram that takes you down to The Bellagio or up to The Monte Carlo. The resort and casino are so nice and clean I never felt like I was getting a lot of second-hand smoke like most casinos on the strip. And there are SO MANY great restaurants right on site. I wish we’d had more time to try them all.

Summer has always been my favorite season. But now that it’s mid-August it seems like it’s kind of coming to an end. Without fail, about this time every season I start getting tired of my current wardrobe. And feel like I wear the same combo of clothes over and over again. In southern California we don’t really get a “fall.” If we’re lucky by the middle of November it finally starts to cool off, but this makes me never want to buy real fall pieces. To combat this I’ve started looking at dresses I can wear now that will still transition into the fall season.

Happy Friday… and it’s a good one! I’m really into off the shoulder dresses and tops, they’re the perfect alternative to strapless and are much more flattering. They always make me feel very boho and who doesn’t love that. This dress is the perfect new addition to my wardrobe. It could just as easily be dressed up with a pair of strappy heels and a clutch, which is how I plan on wearing it next time.

Hope you’re ready for a springy holiday weekend full of chocolate… I know I am. Did I mention I’ve somewhat given up carbs until the wedding? It’s completely crazy I know, but I still can’t say no to chocolate. Jeff joined in on this challenge with me, but has the self control of a Navy Seal and likes to remind me constantly that chocolate is in fact a carb. Anyway, eat extra for me this weekend!
