You are here along with the long weekend! And whew, what a week it has been; so many appointments from dentist to vet to Botox, lol! This month ushers in the slow transitions of my beautiful posies to marvelous mums and pretty pumpkins! And I’m here for it all! Now, let’s talk favorites!!

1. Last Weekend

Last weekend was such a fun one! Friday, I enjoyed a day with my dear friend Kim celebrating our local cheese queen Erica at her local business birthday party! There was everything there from the "cheese" cake to of course charcuterie to mimosas to creating your own flower bouquet lots of gift ideas, cute cards, and clothes as well! We then have the most spectacular strawberry spinach salad for lunch and of course did a little more shopping.

Saturday we attended a friend’s surprise party at a local

Restaurant we’d never been too and went out for cocktails after, wish I would’ve got more pictures.

2. Oh the BOOTS

Give me all the boots! Sharing some of my favorites.

I’m literally swooning over these two pair I got from Cecelia New York

They are made so well. I knew I would love them because I have a favorite pair in my closet from them, the original Gemma! These Black suede GEMMA and Tall Nutella colored GERBER are spot on SPECTACULAR!!

You are going to see these on repeat for sure! More in my Instagram stories today.

*Marmi

And can we talk the embellishment on these beautiful water resistant Marmi Vaneli boots called the Zinnia! Impeccable craftsmanship on these as well and oh so cute.
