FRIDAY FAVORITES...I LOVE OCTOBER

Warm weather graced us in the beginning of the week and yes, I got in the pool again! They will be closing it on Monday and I’m going to miss it.

Lots of goodness happened this week and my mom and I peeled 15 pounds of apples for yummy homemade applesauce! I LOVE OCTOBER!!

1. Wedding FUN

Oh, my goodness what a fun wedding last Saturday! It was held on an estate in the town I was born in up in Michigan! The couple that got married both work with Mr. Nine, are about our age, have grown children and they have been dating for 14 years. It was really special and a band that I used to listen to way back in my early 20s played fabulous classic rock! I mean we kind of are all classics now especially the boys in the band, in their 70s!

2. Sweet Stella

Our sweet Stella finally got that silly cone off! She got cleared at the vet this week and got treated to a spa day! And she turned 10 months old this week! Look at her in her pumpkin spice sweatshirt!

3. Teddy Blake

"Stella"

You read that right my friends, my latest Italian crafted leather bag from Teddy Blake is called the STELLA! I’ve been wanting this bag for a while now and the brown is the perfect color for Fall! As always, I have a fabulous 30% off code from Teddy Blake!!

Wouldn’t this make a great gift with the holidays coming up! I will be showing you how I’m going to style it very soon!

4. Sweater Set

I can’t believe I keep forgetting to share this because it’s one of my favorite target finds the season! These two ribbed sweater pieces coming in several colors both came home with Kellyann and I when she visited last month.

Get the top HERE and pants HERE!

POOL IN OCTOBER

Got in it twice at the beginning of the week and it felt so good! Unfortunately pool wise , Fall is really here now but I’m OK with it, lol.

HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

Here is some of that applesauce that mom and I made on Wednesday. Many of you have asked me for the recipe. I’ve shared it on the blog before but here it is again, my favorite and so yummy!

HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

INGREDIENTS

6lbs apples, peeled and cored

2 cups apple cider

1/2 cup water

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons white sugar

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

Bring the apples and all the ingredients to a boil and turn down to a low simmer, cover and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes. You can mash them right in the stock pot or pour into a bowl to mash. We save a couple containers in the fridge and freeze the rest; it makes about 12 servings.

*Favorite Applesauce apples are Jonagold or mix McIntosh and Golden Delicious.

This is Stella for sure!!

Happy FALL Weekend FABULOUS FRIENDS!

WHAT I’M WEARING...CLOSET SELFIES

Happy middle of the week my sweets! Sometimes we bloggers share things that aren’t necessarily everyday wear! Like maybe I’ll share dresses that I would only wear to a bridal shower or a wedding, that kind of thing. So today I’m bringing you some things I’ve bought or been gifted that I actually wear on an everyday basis. And it’s not always practical to get out the tripod and snap pics with a remote so today I’m just bringing you some closet selfies of some adorable outfits I love and have been wearing lately!

Let’s start with these Target Tops because I cannot stop wearing them and such great colors! There’s actually several color options and both of these tops are under 20 bucks!

This Tangerine Cutie has the sweetest ruffle sleeves! Only $15!!!!!

White Linen Pants are a must for the summer and if you like shorts, a good pair of distressed Jean shorts would look cute as well!

OH, The sweet Bubblegum One Shoulder Wonder Top!! I love this one so much. Several colors too and $18! I've worn it with White pants, a skirt and now these cute Jean Shorts (Splurge). (Save) version HERE. Pink Oka-B Sandals..so much love for those too!

OK, nothing but pure love for these next two outfits! I have become such a fan of joggers and these Tech Ankle Joggers from Old Navy are spot on spectacular! Old Navy always has such great sales and I will be wearing these around all the time! Size down one if you don’t want them to baggy.

The little Ribbed Knit Tee is shorter so there’s not so much excess to tuck in. I’m going to throw on one of my LuLulemon Bags and I’m good to go!

(TRUTH..I just ordered my 4th Lulu Bag this week (black) LOVE THEM)

With these brown ones (called date palm), I dress them up a little bit with the Gold Chains and Tory Burch Flats! That’s what I love about joggers, so versatile!

Last but not least, these little Ruffle T-Shirts from Express are so soft and darling! I got these in two colors and they will go with so much this summer. Here I just tucked them in some cute linen shorts.

There you go, what I’ve been wearing lately and the outfits that I wear most often. Which outfit is your fav?

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Hope your week is going GREAT!!!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...BARISTA EDITION

Hello March! It was a calm week before a busy March begins. I did get to have a nice leisurely lunch with a friend on Tuesday. We had a little bit of a warmup this week and I was able to get outside and walk record a Walk and Talk for Instagram Sunday. Stella had her first vet visit yesterday and I nursed her last night after her vaccinations, well, not ACTUALLY nursed, LOL

1. My Little Barista

Oh, my little barista! Took Stella to Starbucks for her first Puppuccino on Saturday and the girls at the drive-through window went crazy for her little Starbucks Apron! Her reactions on Camera were priceless so I was so tickled to put together a little reels video that I shared on Instagram on Monday. I’m so proud of it. It’s like the cutest thing ever. Here are some snapshots of my little hard working girl, LOL!

And I'm not a Barista, but I play one on Reels, LOL

Stella's Wardrobe Additions

AndBesides the apron, I got some adorable pieces for her from Shein. I thought you might like to see them in addition to the cherry hoodie I shared last week. The Camel Coat is like my Cashmere one.

4 WAYS TO WEAR A STRIPED DRESS & LAST LINK-UP

You know I love me some Striped Dresses! T-shirt dresses are some of my favorites. This ONE is even better because it’s elevated a notch for Fall with a little bit thicker weight, Maxi length with slits in the cute puffed long sleeves! It is so incredibly flattering! And best part, it is under 25 bucks!

Plus, these types of dresses are so versatile! A great piece to head into Fall and wear in many different ways! Today, I’ve put together 4 outfits with this Dress! I think they all turned out so cute.

Oh, how I love me some casual sneakers and ball caps with dresses! Isn’t this just the cutest?

BALLCAP HERE

You know how much I love Blazers! They are a staple in the fall and winter and even early spring for me! With this Dress having the navy stripe, I loved throwing on the navy blazer with it and some cute, heeled sandals!

Blazer HERE // Necklace HERE // Shoes HERE

Of course, I had to pull out the Booties and the hat, I feel like these two accessories work with so many fall dresses as we transition into cooler weather.

Hat HERE // Booties HERE

More sneakers with this one and Chuck Taylor Converse! Just a simple chambray button up shirt tied in the front. Add in a ponytail and I’m ready for errands or a casual day out!

LOVE THIS Dress!
