Feels like I'm Falling for Fall!

Today it's overcast and cool I can feel it deep inside that Fall has finally arrived!  With Fall comes a change in wardrobe and here is my Fall Wishlist...

Mid-length Skirts by Anthropologie
Pumps by Anthropologie

I also love some cute stuff Eshakti has been putting out!

This skirt is so cute with the little bow!  Don't forget to use coupon code TRICIA0811 type it in at checkout and get 20 bucks off!

And this little number with a jewel toned cardi and grey tights.... Fall!  

To make this the longest post ever I was tagged by Elle so here goes...

1.  Favorite color?
I will say pink I really love pink, but it changes all the time!

2.  Favorite animal?
Dog without question.

3.  Favorite number?
Number 3 or 21 I have no idea why.

4.  Favorite alcoholic/non-alcoholic drink?
Just what the Dr ordered DR PEPPER but it needs to be fountain and I also need a Polar pipe because those things are AWESOME!

5.  Facebook or Twitter?
FB I don't tweet, seems like way too much work!

6.  Your Passions?
Ummm weird question but I would say reading, traveling, DisneyLand, Pinterest, Shopping, Running and of course my Family most of all!

7.  Your Wishlist for this month?
Look above, also to get my basement organized them I am 100% done with moving in!

8.  Favorite pattern?
Chevron stripe right now!

9.  Favorite day of the week?
Saturday but I also love Friday night I have no idea why maybe it stems back to high school when we had the football games.

10.  Favorite flowers?
White roses without question.  When I got married all I had was white flowers as in NO GREENS, some of the greens were spray painted silver but mainly it was tons and tons of white flowers everywhere!  Sounds expensive?  It was, and it's a good thing I have connections in the floral business!

The five people I tag (which you don't have to do it but it might be fun)
1.  Jessica
2.  Jenni
3.  Molly
4.  h k style journey
5.  Tara

You know it's fall when...

there's a chill in the morning air,
the leaves start changing,
football season's here,
sweaters are out,
caramel apples are on your mind
and,
pumpkins line each doorstep.

The fall leaves in the canyon!

Acorns found on our autumn hike

The pumpkin turning in our garden

And finally you know it's fall when...

I bust out the 'world's cutest' fall coat!!!

Coat Anthro from 2007

Dress Anthro: Dagmar shirtdress

Boots Miz Mooz: Solis



I honestly believe there may *never* be a more perfect fall coat...

but this and this come pretty close!

And here is my pink for the day!!
I just orderd this bracelet to support Breast Cancer, Ann Taylor is donating 70% of the purchase price to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation!!!

Halloween decorations

My decorations are finally up but I am still waiting for this to arrive!  I just love this *magical* time of year, and how much fun it is to decorate!  This is about 1/4 of the crap I have (1/2 of the remaining is outdoors, and don't worry there are no blow-up thingys, I hate those!)  The one decoration I realized I am missing is owls!!  I love those little birds and decorated my daughters room in this.  Here is what my Halloween-house looks like so far, but my house is always a work in progress...

Here is my main display!  

I made these a few years ago, don't start thinking I am talented... I am just really good at copying my friend who is!!!

My wonderful friend made this cute sign for me (the same one I copied the pumpkins from!)

I got these cute little cake stands a few years ago and LOVE them!  I put ornaments in them during Christmas, apples during fall, well you get the idea!  I found some of them here and here.

Bag game and packing!

 Today I am in dressed in my scrappy's, cleaning the house (I hate coming home to a pigsty!) and I really don't want the person housesitting/petsitting to see my filth!  Oh the joys of packing 3 kids (said sarcastically!) I am soooooo excited for our wonderful trip to Disneyland, we leave tomorrow morning!!!  I have pre-written a few posts so my blog does not go dark while I am gone, but please don't be offended because I can't comment.  I will catch up with all my wonderful friends when I return!!!
Now I am onto bags, I am becoming slightly bag OBSESSED!!!  I want a mustard yellow bag sooooooo bad for fall and am patiently waiting for this to hit sale and "it will be mine!"  So while perusing around for yellow bags I found two Cheap-o purses and one designer purse can you spot the expensive one?  Look through and vote (don't cheat) and then click on the pictures to find out!

Doing some of this!

Since Halloween is on it's way (and I can hardly wait, since I've had my kids costumes picked out since May!)  I wanted to wear a little orange and black!  Can I also tell you how much I LOVED Glee last night!  I love me some Brittney Spears (don't judge, you know you do too!)  Here is what I am wearing while I decorate my house for the holiday (pix to come)...

Shoes Cynthia Vincent for Target: similar here

PS- I don't mean to brag, but I took this 15 question quiz on world religions (try it!) and got a 100%. Just sayin' (thanks to 'religions of the world' taken in college 10 years ago!)
