Happy Halloween

Hope you all had a great Halloween - filled with spooks, candy, and fun costumes. Our little Maeby had the most fun in out family; she played dress up on Halloween Eve and Halloween. She ultimately decided the race horse was the winner for the big night and insisted we call her I'll Have Another. All the trick or treaters loved her. 

Two Good Things

{via}

Two good things happened today: 

01. A man in the elevator told me I looked 20 (and I just turned 28). Score.

02. We mailed a big fat check to pay off one of our cars today. Score again. 

Hope y'all had a good day too! 

MIA

I feel like every post recently has been an apology for my absence on this blog (and the Internet in general). I won't change things up on y'all, and I'll go ahead and say, "Sorry for being MIA." I've had a horrible sinus infection; between all the meds, having to work, and lack of sleep, it's taken a lot longer than usual for me to recover. I'm still not feeling back to normal, but definitely better. 

Hope you all are doing well too! 

Giveaway: Leather Jacket

Quick story: I ordered this jacket from the site as a c/o item. I didn't check the measurements and ordered the wrong size for me. OASAP decided I should give the jacket to one of you instead of sending it back. So..

Today I'm hosting a giveaway for a Standing Collar Biker Leather jacket - it's actually a faux-leather, for those of you wondering. Unfortunately, the giveaway has a specific size: small - but I would like to mention the small fits more like an extra-small.

The fit and shape of this jacket is amazing - it has great structure, details, and feel. I'm definitely re-ordering this guy, but in a different size. Anyway, to the giveaway...

Just be sure to be a follower of my blog and comment below!

Leopard Loafers

First of all, hello! 

It's been a while - a long while, but here I am! I've been a busy girl and I feel horrible for neglecting my little blog, but sometimes you have to live your life without blogging about it. And let's be honest here - I'm not back in full-force just yet (I'm not ready to make that commitment), but I promise, eventually, I'll be back. Until then, I'll be popping in and out. 

For the record, it's not just a blogging thing - it's a whole Internet thing. The most time I spend on the Internet is on my iphone, during my lunch break at work. Seriously, I've been that busy - I don't even know what's trending this fall as far as fashion. I have heard that burgundy is the new black, but I'm not even sure that's accurate (comments below would be helpful - what are you wearing this fall? do I need to buy some burgundy?). 

Aside from burgundy. I'm pretty sure leopard loafers are a must have as well - at least that's what I'm picking up from Pinterest. Even if they aren't, I'm still all about them! I've been wanting a pair of leopard loafers since the beginning of winter last year and I finally have my pair! I found them at Aldo shoes and I'm thrilled to wear them this fall (and probably into winter as it doesn't really get cold way down here in Alabama). Oh the possibilities!
