The Autumn Girl

Thankful

THOUGHTS
Peppermint hot chocolate. The smell and warmth of a roaring fire. George Winston’s December Soundtrack. Flannels & scarves. Early morning coffee inspired writing. The sight of tree branches painted against the sky. Fall leaves and cute booties. Slippers and scented candles. Executing a much anticipated recipe in the kitchen while blasting a great Pandora station (Michael Buble anyone?). Moments of silence. Breakfast in bed. Christmas Wreaths and Festive Chicago homefronts. Fuzzy robes & bacon kind of mornings… Tea Time &...

Pre- Black Friday SALE alert!

Collages
Happy Thanksgiving Eve gals! Can you believe how fast this holiday approached? I can’t wait for mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pie :) I’m super excited because a ton of outfits I’ve been crushing on are on major sale today! What often happens over Thanksgiving is that lots of items go on sale on Wednesday, and many of them are sold out before Black Friday! So I wanted to share some major outfit deals & finds before they are gone!...

Christmas Plaid

Holiday Outfits
  I hope you had a fabulous weekend loves! Today is my favorite kind of Monday. The Monday before Thanksgiving where I am off of school and currently in my Christmas pjs listening to George Winston, sipping coffee, and blogging from my parents living room in Chicago where it is quite chilly outside. I couldn’t feel more in the Christmas spirit! Especially after a fun weekend shopping at the Junior League Christmas Affair and putting up décor in our...

Bell Sleeve Dress

OUTFITS
This dress. This color. These sleeves…. I think I am in love…. No, I know I am in love. This dress encompasses everything about my style including fall colors, floral accents, Anthropologie-like flare, and so much comfort. And if you’re a facebook friend of mine, you know I’ve been rockin’ it a lot lately ;) Bell sleeves are everywhere and a must have trend this fall if you haven’t quite caught on. It’s hard to wear a bell sleeve top or...

His + Hers Holiday Style

HOLIDAY•Holiday Outfits
Good Morning & Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend :) We enjoyed our first weekend in town with absolutely zero plans. We saw Girl on the Train on Friday night at the Domain Ipic theater and it was awesome. I volunteered Saturday at Zach Theater and got to see Charlotte’s Web! They had a petting zoo outside which if you know me, was the cherry on top of a beautiful day. Little bunnies prancing around? SO...

Leather Weather (Under $100)

Collages
Hi Friends! I’m enjoying this rainy cool Wednesday because it reminds me of fall this time of year in Chicago. I’ve been listening to George Winston’s December album on repeat and I’m feeling in the holiday spirit. I know you probably think I’m getting ahead of myself but this particular cd is very Novembery to me. It gets me pumped for Thankgiving and family and being cozy and I love it. I’ve been a little less active on the...

Fabulous Fall Florals

*
Happy Friday Everyone! Who else saw the Cubbies win the World Series on Wednesday?! Holy smokes! HISTORY! :) Games don’t get much more suspenseful than that, huh. Yay Chicago! I’m feeling all relaxed right now because I have finally had a low key week and a few nights of just hanging at home. It’s quite nice to get a break from the busyness that is life, you know?  November has only just begun but looking at my calendar for...

Roasted Butternut Squash Salad

RECIPES
Happy November 1st! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween :) Eric and I dressed as Wayne and Garth from Wayne’s world and it was pretty funny. Our wigs were terrible and it made our ridiculous outfits that much better. We also got to tailgate with a friend of ours and watch Texas beat Baylor on Saturday and it was such a fun day! Then the Cubs won Sunday night in game 4 of the World Series and it’s...
