Little Things

Happiness is truly a choice, and even on this freezing, rainy, miserable day, there are some bright spots. A few of the things that have kept me smiling today are:

-Bright pink lipstick (specifically this shade which I'm wearing)
-This article from Levo League featuring Your Coffee Break
-That the sassy sisters of Georgetown Cupcake are the "Guest Bartenders" at BaubleBar
-That I get to wear my moss green hunter wellies (not to be confused with the fabulous pink ones Sophie and Katherine rock).
-That there's a tiger game tonight

I'm sensing my obsession with the color pink growing. So even though my editor just said "It's literally flash flooding outside," and there are icicles hanging off our steps, I'm smiling.

Jump Then Fall

Labor Day is has officially come and gone (and with it, the first of the TNB's turned 24, I went on my very first camping trip, and it's officially football time once again), and you know what that means? Bring on the best season ever -- fall.

I've never been shy about my affinity for the season (as told here, here and here), and this year is no different. In hopes of ushering in the cooler temps, colorful foliage, and pumpkin muffins (for recipe click here) with haste, I wore my (Minnetonka) moccasins (a steal from Marshalls at $30) and wine-stained lip gloss (from the oh-so-lovely YSL) today. 

*yes, the title of this post is a TSwift song

i want the world; i want the whole world...

okay.. but really--my happy place is sephora and my newfound love of online shopping.

Here's what I'm currently lusting after in my subtle attempt to be glamorous:

Essie "wicked" nail polish

NARS nail polish in "Versailles"

Tibi hot pink skirt

the entire outfit from polyvore

sequined mini from net-a-porter

loafers from anywhere (I just bought a new pair to wear to work)

Emily Manyard's hot pink YSL lip gloss as seen on Bachelorette

her sequined dress from episode 9

platinum blond hair like these lovely ladies featured.

there ya have it folks. what I'd buy this week if I didn't have a budget or care to eat ever again.
