Fall Bucketlist

Buh-Bye Summer! Hello Fall! Glad you're here!
Fall came overnight in NYC! It's chilly and it feels good! 

I love when a new season arrives. What will it bring? One thing I know for sure, I'm getting my Fall Bucketlist started and looking forward to enjoying the experiences and moments this Fall 2016 will bring.  

As my mother would say, it's Fall Ya'll!

Beginner's list for Fall

     

My Fall Bucketlist

1.  Apple Picking!
We went a few years ago loved it. We're going again in a few weeks. 

2. Go to the Dallas Arboretum Pumpkin Village next time we're in Texas. 

3. Make homemade apple cider. I want to try all of these recipes! 

4. Check this off my list...
I have been contemplating over the knee boots for awhile now and finally found some that fit like a glove and are so comfortable. 

5. Try and re-create these table settings.

6. Play in the leaves like a little girl. 

7. Give baby pumpkins to friends. Who wouldn't love a baby pumpkin? 

8. Make pumpkin smoothies. 

This one, this one, and this one look delicious. 

9. Light pumpkin candles every...single...day. 

TJ Maxx has the best selection and pretty cheap. Go right now and stock up!

10. Appreciate and enjoy every single day this Autumn brings.

Hop in your car, drive through some fall foliage, listen to Ain't No Mountain High Enough and enjoy the wonderful weekend! (and maybe watch Stepmom if you have time) 

cozy scarves and leaves stuck in your hair,

gingham this, gingham that

Gingham. 

Probably one of the cutest patterns ever made. Wear it, decorate with it, picnic with it, gingham this and gingham that. A good gingham shirt goes with just about darn near anything you pair it with.
Are you a gingham fan? 

Adorable dress. 

I'm asking Santa Clause for these jammies. 

Apparently every man owns this shirt. 

If you want to follow the gingham shirt on instagram, here is the pretty little shirt's account.  

If you want to add a shirt to your wardrobe, for women, for men.

Love the length of this shirt and on major sale.

Not sure how to style gingham? Here's a little help. 

A great gift for a man. 

Cute pillows  to add a classic touch to your home. 

Cloth napkins in every color imaginable. 

Put a little gingham in your step on this wonderful Wednesday.

lots of gingham love,

coffee

Are you a coffee drinker?
We're going to a coffee festival next weekend so I felt the calling on my caffeinated heart to blog about coffee. Signs are going up around town for the infamous "pumpkin spice latte" which is still a little too early to get- but makes me excited for Fall. 

This post is going to be pretty simple and sweet. Coffee is good. 

When we first got married, buying matching coffee cups was a BIG deal to us. These were the ones we decided on. 

Our favorite coffee spot in NYC. The coffee is so delicious and they put pretty swirly designs on top. 

Fun facts about coffee in America.  

New Yorkers drink almost 7 times more coffee than other cities in the US! 

Have you ever tried chocolate with your coffee? My in-laws started me on it- now my parents do it. It will have yourself thinking, why have I not done this before? 

Jennifer Aniston's shining moments serving coffee.

One of the reasons I think I enjoy coffee so much are the moments that come with it. Meeting that friend you haven't seen in awhile over a cup of coffee, getting up early and having quiet time, putting on a HUGE pot of coffee when you're having family get-togethers. It brings good conversation, memories, and laughs.   

Enjoy a cup of joe this weekend with someone you love.

medium latte with a side of chocolate please,
