Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

With Fall here I am obsessed with shoes! 

In the summer I rely on flips but now that the crisp air is moving in, I love to be fashionable with my feet. Look at these! I think they would look fantastic with black skirt and black tights with a boho top or over sized t-shirt. I think I will pay in a few paychecks. 

Oh Fall... you make my wallet hurt. But, I love you so

and finally, 

a pug in a bowl. 

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

YES!

I am SOOOOO happy this style is BACK for pants! 

Tight on the booty then wide all the way down. So comfy and I love the silhouette. 

I wish i still had my sweet pair from a south carolina thrift store from the 90's, but, I will shake this salvation army re-donation with consoling myself with a NEW pair. 

MAYBE TWO! 

I love fall clothes. 

I can't WAIT to spend an entire paycheck on a new seasons wardrobe.

All I Have Left To Do Is Hit The Liquor Store

...And I'm set for Hurricane Irene! 

Stay safe, everyone!

My Life Really Is Like This...

Scottie and I had awesome plans to go up to NYC to see my sister and go to the Dave Matthews Caravan concert this weekend on Governors Island. BUT, now that Irene has completely screwed us and everything was cancelled, I decided to go to the next best thing. 

The new grocery store GRAND OPENING, Super Fresh! 

I know, I know... catch your breath. I too was so very excited. THEY HAD LIVE MUSIC! 

there were celebrities, our mayor... Nutter. 

The veggies were oh so fresh and clean, 

and, I got to practice wearing my rain boots before this b*tch of a hurricane hits us. I'm so mad at her.

and just to add, and im not sure how I feel about admitting this, but, all my bags broke on my walk home and I almost cried. You all would have laughed at me. jerks.

Before and After

Before I decided it was time to clean up my stupid closet. 

 

AFTER I decided to finally sit down and clean my awesome closet: 

We travel a lot and putting away my shoes after an unpack is just unfathomable to me. So I typically just throw them in the general direction of my side of the closet. SOOOO... now that they are organized and all put together I realize that... I don't have enough SHOES! 

Hey Huzbo, go to zappos.com or endless.com or better yet...  

just gimme your creddy card. 

LOVE YOU!

Want

I love everything denim. 

Jackets, pants, shorts, shirts... not so much bags, but you get my point. I really like it. I even wear denim ON denim on numerous occasions. Its so GREAT!

i think i have and would wear this outfit. but, I love her jacket.

But right now I'm totally eying some denim jackets. Has anyone seen a great one out there on the interwebs they wouldn't mind sharing? They really are the perfect fall warmth in my opinion.

Paps

My grandfather passed away this past weekend. He and I were very close. He was like my best friend all growing up and we had a lot of secret stories and special faces between the two of us. Some say I got my personality from him and I am a lot like him, a mini-me, if you will. Greatest compliment ever in my opinion. So his funeral was a little rough, but it really was a great celebration. He was 87, he lived a long life and he had a special impact on his tiny town as it was standing room only in his little church. I was extremely proud to be apart of the family he created. He was also known as "the candy man". He carried candy in his pockets everyday and passed it out, everyone knew it and everyone loved it. We passed out candy in baskets during the service. 

He was also a crazy sports fan. He was a pitcher for the Philadelphia Athletics as a young man and never missed a chance to see/watch/go to a game of any kind. He instilled that passion into me as well. I thought it was extremely poetic that I went to my husbands baseball game the day before his service. I know he was smiling down on us all weekend and loved that my huzbie plays his favorite sport. I get goosebumps thinking about it. Would it be too much that we had the entire church singing "take me out to the ballgame" at the end of the service? Yes? Well... we did. And it was a moment I will never forget. I love you, Paps.
