happy friday, beauties! hope you had a fabulous week...

the first rain of the autumn season fell for about two days this past week, and to say i was thrilled is quite an understatemnet-- i love this time of year! i know that the weather will be going back and forth between warm and cool temps for several more weeks, but i'm still thankful. crisp, cold morning air has greeted me for morning outings with my pup, the leaves are changing colors, i wore coat and scarf {also purchased a new one!}, as well as set a fire in the fireplace. over the past couple of weeks, i've picked up, and been given, some new tea and coffee {discovering and collecting them is so fun-- drinking them is even better!}, finally put my oven back to use for baking...

there are so many things about fall to love, right? and among these seasonal joys, i'm also loving...


my new Midnight Soiree Ring from jewelmint.com -- fabulous, oui?

though i've been a member since the site's launch, i never bought anything. i considered making this ring my first purchase after seeing it on one of my favorite style mavens {and editorial director at Who What Wear}, Hillary Kerr; it was when i recieved an email from jewelmint for a too-good-to-pass-up offer for first-time purchases that sealed the deal...



i've been a fan of MAC's primer, Prep + Prime Skin for a long time {fyi, Victoria Beckham is also a fan!}, so when MAC introduced their Fortified Skin Enhancer, i was intrigued. i have been using it in Recharge {comes in other variations} and not only does this tinted primer give my skin a boost and help my foundation stay put, it also contains an spf of 35-- always a huge plus!



my domestic-diva self loves this gorgeous, good-for-the-planet, lavender floral & mint-scented dish soap by Seventh Generation for washing the things i can't put in the dishwasher...

my beauty-girl self loves that this concentrated formula works fabulously for washing my makeup brushes. ;)

currently loving...

it seems my days are going by so much faster these days. i wake up, and before i know it, the day is coming to an end and it's time to sleep! it's kind of nutty when i think about it, but i definitely many things to be thankful for-- my family, my friends, my health and the fact that you are here reading this! :)

sprinkled on top of my thankfulness are some delightful things i'm currently loving in this moment...


There's Cake in My Future by Kim Gruenenfelder....a fun chick-lit read {be warned, it is a bit rated-r, due to all the f-bombs dropped}, but the story is funny and engaging. i'm about 70% through it and can't wait to see how the story of three friends, their lives and hope for the future will end up!


fresh, roasted red peppers with my egg whites at breakfast {and sometimes lunch and dinner, too, lol!}...



this image of a small laundry room space is inspiring the redecoration of my own slightly larger laundry space...


NYX Natural Look Nude on Nude Kit is the perfect little gem for travel and everyday use. every shade is wearable, giving my eyes added day-friendly glam, but i also love that the neutral tones help to enhance the shade of a bright-colored eye liner!


philosophy Falling in Love...i picked this up on a Sephora run when they were out of favorite Unconditional Love {j'adore!}; i figured, "why not try it?"...and now, well... :)

A Few of my Current Favorite Things

I have a problem... I'm a shoe addict. These are the new shoes I'm currently loving, which I bought in only a month's time.... I need to stop! My mom and her mom are also shoe addicts so I suppose it runs in the family. The red ballet flats and lace flats with the chain are from Topshop, the mustard huaraches from Urban Outfitters, the T-bar flats are Shelly's of London, and the leopard loafers and bow wedges are Jeffrey Campbell. The worst part is that I don't feel guilty for buying them, not even a little bit. C'est la vie. 


I want to thank everyone for all the sweet and good luck comments on my last post! I'm so lucky to have such great readers! You are awesome ^,^


Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

A Few of my Current Favorite Things

New ring from Free People, a gift from my mom. She really knows what I like and what I don't like. I love the intricate detailing on the sides. 

One of the cutest carousel necklaces I've ever seen. I just had to snatch it right up. It actually turns! From ASOS.

I'm looking forward to wearing my See by Chloe sandals again this Spring/ Summer! I got them out of the shoe box and are just waiting to be worn on a warm sunny day.  


What are a few of your current favorite things?!

A Few of my Current Favorite Things

I can't help but smile every time I look at my hands. The butterflies are very cheery. These are the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips. I also have them in houndstooth and floral and had the lace ones on a while back. 

One of my new necklaces. Yes, it's a globe and it actually spins! I made it not too long ago. 

I've had this vintage dress for a year now and have only worn it once. I plan on changing that once it gets warmer (it's supposed to be overcast for the next few days). sigh. 

I don't wear pink even though I really like the color, but give me shades of pink lipstick and I'm in. My favorite, and go to lipstick, is Chanel's Mademoiselle (second to last).
