wrap: Windsor Store / white tee, tank: Forever 21 / jeans: american eagle / wedged boots (last season): c/o Blowfish Shoes / leather bracelet: c/o Salvage West
- breaking fashion blogger rules and re-wearing (total moment of word inventing!) the same outfit on the blog from the previous year.
- drinking lots of hot chocolate with a ton of marshmellows (thanks to Ginny's instragram, i've been craving it since).
- planning a weekend full of autumn adventures (headed to the Pumpkin Patch this Saturday with my small group girls and our church's Fall Festival on Sunday - woohoo!)
- attempting The Walking Dead on Netflix. i am not a zombie girl at all (more of the vampire type!) but Ryan keeps telling me how the storyline is ridiculously good - so i'm super intrigued! plus a lot of you keep talking about it, so my interests keeps getting peaked - any more thoughts? do i need to watch it behind a pillow or two?!
- getting back to riding 20+ mile bike rides with Dad (we have taken the past two weeks off - ouch! this is gonna hurt!).
- trying to keep my lips sealed with some giddy, i-am-about-to-explode news. when i am given permission to explode, i will! we are talking confetti and all.
- catching up on some blog reading and discovering new ones (i'm noticing there are some new friends who are visiting this little ole blog, so plase leave your blog in the link, i'd love to say hi!)
what do fridays and weekends mean for you, friend?
much love.
{happy friday, friend.}

I LOVE this sweater, it's so cute! I'm really short so it could probably be a bath robe on me :) But I love it on you.

This is so cute! I can just picture curling up in a big comfy chair with a book and hot chocolate. :)
ReplyDeleteyou are so cute! <3
ReplyDeleteand i'm not a huge walking dead fan. i want to love it, i really do, and we watch it all the time... but sometimes, it's just reallllly boring. like they draw the story out soooo much. it's still decent though i guess.

I enjoy the Walking Dead a lot, but I must admit...I cover my eyes when they start killing things. It gets to be a little more than I can stomach at times. But the show is truly amazing. You get attached quickly to the characters and their stories. Very good :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour SO beautiful. LOVE that outfit. I hope you have a great weekend full of fun. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteHi, Illy!!! That outfit totally rocks! Hey, would you mind doing a tutorial one day on how you do your hair in a topknot? I have tried and tried, and you totally own that look! So if you wouldn't mind sharing your secrets one day, that would be legit! =)
ReplyDeletethank you, payton! i put together a little messy bun tutorial on this previous post awhile back: http://www.muchloveilly.com/2012/01/messy-bun-buffet.html enjoy! :)
Deletei am all about expanding my large cute sweater collection this winter. grabbing boots, jeans and white tee and an awesome sweater sounds like the perfect way to spend my mornings :)
