It's no secret that Shelby and I love fall. To us, fall is the best time of the year. We love the chill in the air, the changing leaves, cozy sweaters and scarves, and of course pumpkin spice lattes. We are also big list makers so we decided to make a list of all the things we want to make sure to do this fall. In addition to our list of fall activities, fall food, and fall decor we created a to do list of all the fall fashion we wanted to be sure to wear.

Here is what is on our fall fashion to do list:

 love a long sleeve dress for fall

 we are feeling camo this fall. love these camo pants

 a chambray shirt and converse is going to be our fall uniform

 we are really loving leopard lately. i like the mix of navy and leopard in this scarf

 

the print mix of the buffalo plaid and leopard is something we are definitely going to try this fall

 

 love the big dots and oxblood pants combo

 these black oxfords are so chic! and they are from Target!

 I am not a pumpkin carver (bad fourth grade experience) but I love the idea of painting pumpkins like these!

 i love this idea of stacking unique mini pumpkins in vases

 i love the wood grain paint on this pumpkin

 these chevron painted pumpkins are so cute!

these pumpkin place cards would be a unique touch at a fall party or at thanksgiving. then your guests could take then home as a party favor.

Until Next Time

It's no secret that Shelby and I love fall. To us, fall is the best time of the year. We love the chill in the air, the changing leaves, cozy sweaters and scarves, and of course pumpkin spice lattes. We are also big list makers so we decided to make a list of all the things we want to make sure to do this fall.

So, here is our list of things we will be making over the next few months:

 this autumn brittle is packed with yummy flavors

these super easy pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are on our to do list for this week

this is a great twist on rice crispie treats using peanut butter cereal

 who doesn't like funnel cake? this pumpkin version sounds delicious! 

 a donut and muffin mash up that involves pumpkin and lots of sugar? sign us up! 

 these oatmeal pumpkin creme pies look amazing!

what a brilliant version of a classic s'more! all the flavor without the gooey mess.

 this apple cider sangria has tasty fall beverage written all over it

 one of our favorite cocktails is this ginger and apple bourbon one. it's so good we drink it year round but it will be in heavy rotation this fall.

 we made this last fall and it was dangerously yummy. so good, that we haven't allowed ourselves to make it since. this fall we will definitely need to make this dark chocolate bourbon cherry soda float again.

 this orange cinnamon iced tea sounds so refreshing. it would be perfect in these early fall days when the temperatures are still on the warmer side.

Do you have a favorite thing to make in the fall? Send it our way so we can try it too!

Until Next Time

A Day In The Life | Shelby

Since everyone loved getting to see "A Day In The Life Of Ashley" here is a little glimpse into a typical day with me!

 6:15 A.M | Wake up and get ready

Waking up in the morning is entirely way to hard for me. 

 

I like to light a candle to wake up my senses. Ashley hates this scent, so I have to light it while she isn't awake or is out of town! ;) I'm also loving these smoothies from Trader Joe's! A great way to start the day.

 

 Just like Ashley, the first thing I do when I wake up has to be brushing my teeth!

 

Dressed and ready to head out the door to school! We are absolutely loving this fall weather! I had to bust out the boots and burnt orange!

  

8:00 A.M. | Off to school

 I've got my headphones in, and ready for my 45 minute commute to school!

I love walking on the Upper East Side, it is quiet and peaceful, even during rush hour!

I can always find something new in NYC! Outside my subway this morning, one of our candidates for mayor was out there taking pictures, and answering residents questions! I was too much in a hurry to gril him with my grueling political questions! ;)

Waiting, waiting, waiting!

 8:45 A.M | Coffee with Allix

 Since we are all so busy with school and our jobs, my friends and I try to see each other any chance we get, even if it means getting to school 15 minutes early for quick coffee and breakfast! Always makes my day to see Allix's bright and shiny face! :)

 

9:10 A.M | Business Writing Class

 Still have my coffee, and I'm prepared for my first class of the day! I particularly really enjoy this class. I have a young professor who is a journalist in the entertainment field. I'm sure he has some very interesting stories to tell.

 

11:10 A.M | Lunch Time 

 I tried to recreate my own Sweet Green salad for lunch. I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself. My friend Daniella joined me for lunch before we headed off to our next class together.

  

12:10 P.M. | Algebra Class

 Every week I have a very quick algebra class. Don't you just love those pesky pre rec classes!?

1:30 P.M | Study Session

Thank goodness for a 40 minute break in between classes so I could cram for my quiz in my next class!

 

 2:10 P.M. | Financial Assortment & Planning

This class actually sounds a lot worse than it is. The only downside...it's 4 hours long!

6:00 P.M | Time to go home

Jumping on the train!

My walk home after I get off the subway is my favorite time of the day. Especially in this weather. I'm never in a hurry, so I can enjoy the beauty of the Upper East Side.

6:45 P.M. | Arriving Home

Pixie always comes running to the door every time I get home! She showers me with kisses. Who wouldn't want a welcome home like that!? Even Ashley doesn't get that.

 The girls are glad that I am home!

7:00 P.M. | Coffee Round Two

I always need some coffee when I get home from school so I can prepare myself for the second part of my day! Nothing better is a pumpkin spice latte with home made whipped cream! At this point I work on any last minute homework or studying I have.

8:15 | Dinner Time

Ashley and I have a deal that she cooks on the week days, and I cook on the week ends. Tonight she fixed us up some spicy fried rice. We enjoyed it while catching up on our DVR! We are so behind!

10:00 P.M. | Pamper Time

One of my favorite things I do to pamper myself is to give myself a manicure. I tend to give myself one at least once a week. I have gotten pretty good if I do say so myself! The color I decided on is a pretty fall blue by Essie called Bobbing For Baubles! (It looks black, but it's not! It's just the light)

 

 12:00 A.M | Off to bed

After a very long and exhausting day I'm ready to snuggle up in bed for a good nights rest!

 

I hope you all enjoyed a look into my daily life! I'm sorry it's a little boring! Let us know if there is anything in particular you would like us to blog about. We are always open to new ideas!

Until Next Time

XOXO

Shelby
