I am a FIRM believer that some days you need to do nothing but stay home and have a day of luxury.  I am ALL about indulging and these are some of the things I day dream about while sitting in an office all day.
 
Talking about the stuff above is making me want play hooky.
 
Everyone that knows me, knows that I am a HUGE bath lover. I literally take a  long bubble bath a day b/c it's so needed.  That's where the robe and Jo Malone lotion come into play. I can't express enough how much I LOVE robes! I have a ton and each one serves a different purpose. Warm fur robe, t-shirt robe, silk robe, etc. The Little Giraffe robe above is about to make it's way to my closet. Have you guys felt the Little Giraffe baby blankets? OMG they are unreal amazingly soft and cuddly. I always want my niece wrapped in her blanket just so I can snuggle her in it!
 
If you haven't tried Jo Malone you are missing out b/c her products are out of this world delicious. My favorite scent (they are all awesome) is Peony and Blush Suede.
As far as "treats" go, I am not much of a snacker. That being said, I could have Williams-Sonoma pumpkin butter on toast and champagne bubbles candy any day of year. Both can be found at Williams-Sonoma..my mouth is watering writing this.
 
Deep Eddy's Ruby Red Vodka and club soda is the lightest and freshest cocktail I have ever had. Low on calories and high in deliciousness.
For the mornings (obviously I don't sit around drinking vodka all day) I have been crazy about the Cinnabon coffee for my Keurig. The smell will make you melt.
 
Now on to the entertainment....Apple TV and iPhone 6. I want to applaud these products after every use. I suggest you add both of them to your life.
Last are my love for movies and reading. I watch Sex and The City dvds on a weekly basis, usually when I get in bed.  I have seen every episode dozens of times but can't seem to quit watching. The same can also be said about Gillian Flynn novels...readying Gone Girl for the second time.
 
I hope you have all made a list of these wonderful things and are planning a day of relaxation.

Pop, Fizz, Clink! It's almost my birthday!! It doesn't matter how old I get, I still LOVE celebrating November 5th like royalty! I start think in July what I want to add to my bday wish list. I think this year, I added some pretty awesome items.
 
Not listed but pictured above is the GORGEOUS black & gold Hermes bracelet. This little gem is what I dream of...obviously b/c I love the letter "H".  A girl can dream!
 
I feel that this year I added necessities to the list. Earrings, a duffle bag, perfume, iTunes gift card, rain boots and a coffee table book are all fantastic wants needs. If I open any of these, I will be over the moon! 
 
I know this year will be memorable and I most looking forward to spending my day with family, delicious food and mouth watering cake. But until then...here is a list of how to get on my good side :)

Fall = Plaid. One of my favorite patterns! Buffalo check print makes me think of leaves falling, crisp air, football, snuggling, and drinking hot (spiked) cider around a fire. I love a plaid boyfriend button up with dark denim and boots. It's typically my fall uniform.
The rain boots above are my ALL TIME favorite! I bought my Burberry wellies 8 years ago and still wear them! So, consider it an investment.  
The best part about buying plaid is knowing that it's a classic print and won't go out of style. I usually stock up and wear from Oct to Feb every year. Some of my pieces are years old and still fit the trend. You can't go wrong with a little check.





I mean how CUTE is this little pumpkin? I had to share b/c she is too precious! I hope Madden will be a Halloween lover like her mother and I. We will brainwash her with Hocus Pocus and pumpkin everything!

I'll Put A Spell On You

I'll Put A Spell On You

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's my absolute FAVORITE time of year! Halloween time!! This holiday tops my list and always has. Being an OSU fan, I obviously can't get enough of the orange and black! During the month of October, candy corn becomes it's own food group and Hocus Pocus is constantly on repeat in my house. Every year I watch what I consider the classic Halloween movies...Hocus Pocus, The Worst Witch, Gremlins, Casper and The Witches.
 
 Let's talk about The Witches for a bit...everyone I talk to says they have never seen this AMAZING movie staring the scary, Anjelica Huston. I have probably bought this movie twice as an adult. Yes it scared the hell out of me as a little girl b/c that's HOW REAL the witches look! Do yourself a favor, go to Amazon and buy this for like $8.
 
Get ready people...this is the first of what could be many Halloween posts this month! I am too excited for there to be only one!

Bottoms Up!

Bottoms Up!

 



Who doesn't love Happy Hour? Hosting your own cocktail party is so fun, especially if you are always prepared! This is where the iconic bar cart comes to play. I love updating and replenishing my bar cart and it's so lovely to have when entertaining company. You literally have everything you need at your finger tips! Cork screw, serving tray, cocktail napkins and straws, coasters, cards, and the perfect glass for that signature beverage...these should all be on your bar cart check list. I love updating my cart this time of year b/c nothing is cuter than a Halloween bar! I can usually find fun (and super cheap) napkins and bar accessories at Marshalls or TJ Maxx. I also listed my favorite party game of all time, Cards Against Humanity (don't judge me if you haven't played this). It's on SALE on Amazon! Also, if you are a Moscow Mule lover like me, check them out on Etsy. Copper mugs are sometimes a little pricy but you can usually find a steal there. I hope this helps all of you little party animals and I expect to be invited for cocktails at your place soon!
