I kind of dropped the ball with the "looks" part the past few "life & looks" lately so I tried to do a little bit better this time. It's been a while since I've done one of these and there's plenty to share so let's just jump right into it…
My first fall manicure/pedicure of the season was long overdo (all this housewife, cleaning and stuff I always reck my nails so quickly so I've gotten into the habit of just not getting them done) but as much as I love the bright summer colors, I just became obsessed again with the fall ones.
Date night! With the busy end of summer/start to fall we got out of our routine with weekly nights out but now that we've found time again we enjoy our quick nights out. Our favorite italian restaurant has a location right near our house that we recently just tried for the first time and fell in love.
My secretary doing her thing at the office. I always get a good laugh out of the places she picks to hide out.
One of our favorite restaurant right in the center of town is closing at the end of the month so we're trying to get as many favorite meals in there as possible. A group went last week and we're going with the whole family next week for another one.
With the weather a few degrees cooler, we've been getting our fair share of walks in - my favorite form of exercise and Stella pup loves it too.
We liked the new Fellini's so much the week before that we went the following week for date night. One of Derek's goals for the year is to become regulars somewhere - I think we've found our place.
A little family play time…
One of my favorite things is shopping dates with my mom. New things, girl time, lunch out - it's all the best. We usually walk away with something matching too - we did it again this day.
Our final Phillies game of the most terrible season against Derek's Met's no less (I can't wait for the Mets to be done in the playoffs soon… I dislike them greatly)
For two of our most recent games, Stella and I rode up with my parents and Nash to help with the tailgate stuff and Derek, my brother and other guests trickled in later on. This time both dogs were loving on me at once.
A couple photos from State College that got "lost" - I guess it's hard to keep track when there are so many home games in a row. Afternoon drinks amongst the college life downtown and a sunset before entering the game.
A lot of family was in town in early September and my cousin and I showed up in identical outfits to one of the dinners.
In Stella's life lately news - she's loving her new bed, the fall season and her new fall blanket (she's lucky her mom likes neutrals around the house because it's now her new "all the time" blanket)
Loving all of your outfits recently! And I love your fall manicure--I've been putting off doing my nails for fall and it's time I just did it!

ReplyDeleteLooks like you two have been up to all kinds of busy/fun stuff, and the cute clothes to accompany it all are the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteDate nights are the best! I loveee your long necklaces!
ReplyDeleteThat floral blazer is fantastic - such a great transitional fall piece! I'm not sure if it's the same Fellini's but when I lived in PA, there was one by my house that I went to all the time...soooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of your fall nails! And I'm totally with you, even though I love the bright colors for summer I'm really loving the darker colors for fall too. Derek is too funny playing with Stella! I always love it when you see guys not caring and acting like goofballs when they're playing with their pups.

you've convinced me to get some dark florals, like that blazer! dark nails are a fave of mine always!!
ReplyDeleteI'm from NY and I don't like the Met's either haha. We also don't live far from Wrigley Field, so Cubs all the way!!! It has been pretty crazy here and I honestly hope that they win it all!! Anyways... love your red plaid shirt, your black floral shirt, and your white tie blouse. I also really like that plaid shirt that your husband is wearing, where is it from? Chris could use more things like that. Crazy that I am saying that since yesterday was my birthday. Clearly I should be the one shopping!! Haha. Cute picture of you and your mom too, she is so pretty! I love spending time with my mom too. :-) Have a great day girl!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the flower clothing pieces - that blazer is awesome!

Love all of the Stella snaps! She looks so cute under your desk - isn't it the most random places that they love to lay in?! Brady is currently sleeping right in front of our toilet upstairs and I can't get him to move for anything, ha!
ReplyDeleteI love that first floral blazer and that floral dress. Fall florals are becoming one of my absolute favorite things. Can I hire you as my stylist?!
