Flannel and Primaries

This was one of the first autumny outfits I put together this season, and it made me so excited and happy. Flannel, boots and socks, tights, and a hat?! I just love the autumn accessories. It gives more opportunities for different color combinations and pattern mixing. You're going to get sick of me expressing my undying and unfaltering love for autumn. Trust me. Autumn can do no wrong. Winter on the other hand... Well, we've always had issues.

In other news, I can't stop consuming pumpkin-flavored things, among other fall treats. I've already had a few pumpkin spice chai lattes and I've already baked a pumpkin dessert (the recipe is coming soon!). I ate a whole bag of candy corn and I've had a couple of Reese's pumpkins. I found a recipe for this pumpkin cream pie that I'd like to try. I might wait until Thanksgiving to make it, though. I still have to make my pumpkin bread too! So much to do! I've already stocked up a bit on canned pumpkin since it tends to always be out of stock when I go to buy it later in the season. I should stock up on more, though, while the supplies last!

Sigh...I wish I could just spend all my time exploring and taking pictures, editing pictures, baking, and blogging. Autumn just makes me want to do it even MORE. How can you resist going outside and being surrounded by such beautiful colors? I sure can't. Autumn is the reason I could never move too far south where it doesn't really happen there. North Carolina is probably the furthest I'd go.

That's enough about autumn for now (is that even a sentence one utters?), let's talk about hair. I just dyed my hair a darker brown on Sunday, and I'm super happy with how it looks. I have been contemplating darker hair for months now, and I'm glad I finally did it. I was sort of waiting for autumn to do it. It just seems like the appropriate time to go a little darker, especially around Halloween time! I did a spooky shoot with Sarah and Joey on Sunday where Sarah did our makeup to make us look sort of ghostly and gaunt. I can't wait to share the photos from it with you guys! It was a fun shoot. I love themed shoots every now and then. I'm actually doing a burlesque/pinup one this weekend!

Speaking of this weekend...I'm having my birthday party tonight and I can't wait! Luckily a lot of my friends are free and able to go. I can't wait to celebrate with them all! My actual birthday isn't until the 17th, but there's nothing wrong with celebrating a little early, right? ;) Sarah is going to be making me a cake and I can't wait to eat it. I requested something with chocolate and peanut butter. Plus, my mom is making me a pumpkin cake for my actual birthday, so I got all grounds covered on the cake front. Something chocolatey and something autumny. I have a feeling this birthday is going to be a good one. :) Here's to not jinxing myself!
