FRIDAY FAVORITES...OCTOBER DON'T GO..or MAYBE DO

Hi Friday loves! I say October don’t go because I LOVE October, but the maybe do part is to get this surgery further behind me. Exactly 1-month post-op today and feeling great. Back to regular walks and my usual shenanigans for the most part. Lol. Got some Fall cleaning up to do this weekend outside and maybe starting the decorating!! Eek..countdown is on. And Sweet BOOs if you partake in Halloween!!

1. Day Date

Well, for the first time post-surgery, Mr. Nine and I finally had a day date and we tried someplace new! There is a new and very modern brewery 25 minutes south of us, so we headed down there on a beautiful afternoon last Saturday and had the most delicious meal! It was also the first cocktail I’ve had since before surgery and that smokin pineapple peach margarita was delicious! Mr. Nine got an incredible burger with bacon jam on it, we shared some tater tots called tipsy tots with the yummy topping and I got a mahi-mahi Reuben with sweet potato fries!

2. Gift Guides

Coffee Theme Gift 

A friend of mine, who loves coffee, recently had a birthday and I compiled this gift basket for her. I’ve linked up everything you need to create your own gift basket as it was a huge hit! I had one of those Cellophane gift basket bags around it, but I put some Leopard Duct Tape to hold down the corners. I think it turned out so cute.

Hair Spray

Oh, it’s no secret, M. Nine and I love our Liverpool jeans. These black ones he is wearing are the Relaxed Straight and mine are the kick flare crop. LOVE THEM!! My jacquard moto jacket and henley are Liverpool too. We thought we looked like a couple of bad a$$es in this photo but then I had to go pose with angel wings, lol!

Monster Brains Munch Mix

I cannot believe it is Halloween weekend! Back when the kids were younger, this was the most requested room mom snack ever in my history of being a room mom, LOL! I think because it was just too darn cute! Plus, it was super yummy as I had derived it from a local Amish Cookbook. You’ll find my recipe HERE in case you want to make this ghoulish! LOL

Mom's Caramel Corn

This next recipe is my mom’s most requested Fall treat! Trust me when I say, there is no better caramel corn than hers! I shared this on Instagram a while back and y’all went crazy for it, a couple people even made it that very day. Mr. Nine and I sometimes fight over this, LOL! It’s so good!

Enjoy the HALLOWEEN/FALL Weekend My Pretties!!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...LAST OF OCTOBER

October, Pease don't go. I am super excited the Holidays coming up as it means we will be in the new house a couple weeks before Christmas (with fingers crossed) but man how I adore October. Although it pretty much rained all week so these are warranted.....

1. The Plum, The Mauve, The Purple
In the above graphic she is wearing the Glossy Plum Hunter's (although they are called "violet') but I have been lusting over them for two years so I got em' and I love em'!

BUY HUNTER'S HERE

We went on a Saturday Date Day last Saturday and I was happy to throw this lil together ensemble. The Mauve Top is a sleeveless Knox Rose from Target and is such a pretty shade.

Lace Up Shirred Tunic HERE

Just look at this purple campfire MUG! Last Friday, I said Bring on The Cozy! Well, how perfect are these mugs!!! Mugs are always a great gift idea!

2. Favorite Travel Bag

BUY HERE

Usually I take this black Coach bag below but a pocket in the front is a must so I love the above cognac one so much better and I can fit 3 pairs of shoes in the bottom zipper part.

3. Week's Attire

Ross Dress, Charming Charlie necklace, Lucky booties

Express Top, The Loft pants

Target Dress, Urban Outfitters sweater, Steve Madden boots

4. White Dress, Duster and Booties
This outfit came together like a dream on our last warm work day last week. Love the open toe booties with it. My dear friend Laura has this dress. We even Twined Em' one time. I just love how the sweet white dress went right into Fall with the boots and vest.

5. Misc. Fun!
My Favorite Bronzer

I get asked a lot what bronzer I use and since I do not tan my face, I am ever so grateful for Bronzer. I showed you my recent favorite Amazon Purchases this week but forgot this one: Physicians Formula in Sunlight. It's under $12 and I have been using it for years.

Capital Gaines
My love for Chip and Jo Jo has ran deep since the beginning. Today, Chip's  book "Capital Gaines" is released and since we ahve 2 budding entrapenuers in the family, thinking this may be a GREAT Christmas gift.

Lights!
Lighting was one of my favorite things to pick out for the new house. Monday, I shared with you the Drum Shade Light for our Master Bedroom. My dear friend, Emily shared an awesome post Wednesday full of Gorgeous Chandeliers. It made me want to share with you the sweet little one that is going over an island in my Master closet.

Go light up the weekend sweet friends!
