IT SURE IS!  My favorite season of the entire year is here and I can't control my happiness!  This time of year is uncontrollable with pizza, hot wings, beer, chips, guac and jersey's of every color-sooo fun.  Late into the season last year, Beau and I discovered BJ Restaurant's game day happy hour in Long Beach (off of 2nd street) and has remained our favorite place to watch football, so I'm really excited to head down to our local spot hopefully soon!  Football season is just so lovely with so much going on, the activities are endless and it doesn't matter what age you are, there's always room to participate!  Thanks to my trusted Pinterest, I've pinned a bunch of football related ideas that I want to keep in mind this season to spread the seasonal joy.  Below are a few of my favorites, for the full scope, come follow me along here!

This set up is so cute!  I'm definitely going to have to recreate those footballs for a party soon!

These mason jars are simple and adorable home decorations, not to mention a fun craft night full of painting!

This painted pumpkin is seriously such a great idea, I love how creative this is!

Aren't these cupcakes so cute!? So simple yet so clever!

Hey guys, feeling like fall yet!?  It's most definitely NOT feeling like fall where I live since temperatures have been in the high 90's for the last two weeks.  Needless to say, I'm patiently waiting for cooler temps, but more so to continue wearing my favorite tunic!  This striped tunic was gifted to me by my beau (thanks B!) for my birthday last year and it's been my go to top ever since.  The tunic was bought from an online clothing store called SheInside (if you guys haven't shopped this site, go NOW!)  It's still available along with a few other similar and super cute striped tunics, but the best part is that it's under $12!  It's such a steal but be careful, the SheInside website is addicting with all their cute and affordable clothing-happy shopping everyone!

Happy almost Friday!  I woke up this morning with the realization that we've pretty much hit the end of August, which means the harvest season is upon us!  Fall is my favorite season for several reasons, and one of them being fall fashion of course.  Around this time of year, it's always fun to go through my closet and figure out different ways of wearing my favorite closet items throughout the fall season, because let's face it, who really likes to wear their favorite tank top only one season a year!?  One of my favorite closet items is this Cynthia Rowley sleeveless trench that I transitioned into a dress for the summer.  It's super comfortable, very lightweight material and has these SUPER cute pleats around the back of the trench that turn the coat into a flare dress.  To be honest, I'm not even sure if this was meant to be a sleeveless trench or a dress, but either way, it works for both seasons!  This fall, I plan to partner this closet staple up with skinny jeans, flats, striped shirts, and maybe even keep it as a dress with a long sleeve shirt under and switch out my heels for boots!  The possibilities are endless, I can't wait to show you all how I transitioned this coat later!

Wedding Wardrobe

There's something I have to admit about myself as a guest of a wedding-I WORE WHITE!  Apparently there's an unwritten rule about never wearing white to a wedding out of respect to the bride, luckily though in my case, the bride was wearing black (not even joking, it was so cool lol).  Anyways, I'm heading out to a wedding this fall and I'm so clueless about my wardrobe.  I've gone through different color schemes, dress colors, fit types, weather considerations, jewelry type-you name it! I have some time to figure it out, but in the meantime, here are a few outfits I've put together for those in my same boat!

Outfit #1- I've been a huge fan of hunter green lately and love it even more when it's lightly paired with neutral accessories and bold dark eye make up! This simple dress doesn't need much, just the right accessories, basic nude sandals and you're good to go!

Outfit #2- You can never go wrong with a little black dress-it's my favorite closet staple and I probably have about five.  The beauty of a little black dress is you can pair it up with various types of jewelry!  For this dress, I went with gold accessories to match the orange trim and take away the 'Halloween' feel.  I'd do very minimal make up to avoid adding more darkness to this outfit by including an almost nude lip, subtle gold eye shadow tones and definite top eyeliner.

Outfit #3-Lavender is another color I've been swooning over and have yet to wear.  I'm really loving a royal combination of lavender with pure silver accessories. I went a little light on the necklace to bring in more attention to the earrings.  This outfit would definitely require an up-do (maybe simple sock bun) to show off the earrings or even mellow curls with one side tucked and pinned behind your ear.
