Cinnamon schnapps, cinnamon sticks, and warm apple cider? What’s not to love about this fall cocktail courtesy of one of my go-to books, Party Drinks!? I highly suggest this spiced treat this time of year, preferably while wearing similar attire.

This pullover was actually the best investment ever. Anthropologie really should have warned me to get one in every color, because they are the perfect fix to these strange spring Mother-Nature-Can’t-Make-Up-Her-Mind days.

What are your go-to pieces for the transition into spring?
Once upon a time, there was an affair that brought maidens from all over to an enchanted land…
The Anthropologie 50% Off Sale.
And in a dark corner in that crowded sale room, I found one single pair of my long-lusted-after Bowed Lacerta Mary Janes.
And I just couldn’t say no. We are now living happily ever after.

Cue typical day-before-Thanksgiving post.
But in all seriousness, I have a lot to be thankful for.
I’ll keep it short and sweet. I feel so lucky everyday for my supportive family, near and far. For my friends, old and new. For CEM II, who can brighten my day in a second.
For dance, for a job I love, for the blogging community. For cakepops, sequins, bows, chai tea lattes, pink, Pinterest, and parades.
Wishing everyone a very happy, safe, and filling Thanksgiving tomorrow. I’ll be back on Monday 🙂

post script. It is still Wednesday though, so I’m going to link up with The Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday!
post post script. We have a winner! Congratulations to entry #2, Lisa from a little tête-à-tête— you have won the Key To Wonderland necklace from my Shabby Apple Giveaway! Check your email soon, and thanks to all who entered!
I have a new love.
The Lepidoptera Dress.
This is an interesting one though. It didn’t hit stores until late summer, and even though it is full of some gorgeous fall hues, I knew I wasn’t going to be warm wearing just it throughout fall.
Enter some cozy scuffed boots and a pullover burnt orange sweater with an extra 30% off courtesy of a couple thread pulls I located. Now we’re in business for 50-degree Beantown.

I cannot get this burnt orange color out of my head this fall! I’ve never craved orange, but lately I can’t get enough of it. I actually own those Lauren by Ralph Lauren boots (and I am crazy about them– took me forever to find the perfect pair but I finally did last winter), and I love pairing them with this tangerine shade.
And in the spirit of this beautiful pair of brown and orange, check out this photo my godmother snapped from her back porch of a sunrise this week:
Happy Friday everyone! Have a lovely fall weekend!
