Falling for Fall + Motivation Monday

via

Hey y'all,

I know that it isn't officially fall, but here in NC whenever the weather drops below 90 degrees for the majority of the week we are all excited. With beautiful weather comes dreaming of autumn staples. Currently I am enjoying this weather on the porch and checking out some of my fall favorites like:

Scarves. I seriously have a love for scarves. They are the perfect way to jazz up a neutral fall outfit with a bright color or print. Currently I am lusting for the Lilly Pulitzer NC Murfee State Scarf and the new Murfette Scarf in Bright Navy Tusk.
Who doesn't love elephants?
North Carolina Lovin'
Hot Chocolate & Tea. I do not drink coffee and don't like pumpkin so fall for me means a nice cup of tea in an adorable mug or to-go cup. I especially love the hot chocolate at Caribou and as far as tea goes my favorite is probably raspberry. A cup of tea and a book=this English major's perfect getaway.
Don't you think I need this mug?
Cardigans! Jeans+cardigans+riding boots=perfect fall outfit. My favorite cardigan ever is from LOFT which I got on clearance! But I am currently lusting over this sweater from Old Navy(let's hope it comes back online since my ON store has the slowest check out, last time I was there I gave up and walked out since I knew it would take forever to check out):
Old Navy Boat-Neck Sweater
Deep nail colors. Now typically I don't necessarily always fall the darker colors of nail polish in the fall/winter but this season I have been gravitating toward deeper colors. Next on my list of colors to paint will be butter LONDON's Royal Navy, which I picked up this morning at Ulta during their buy one get one free sale.
Gorgeous!

PJs! I love throwing on a pair of pj pants to lounge around in during the fall. Comfort=Fall to me. Other comfort picks would be sweatshirts and fuzzy socks.

Now here are some Pinterest finds for some Monday Motivation!

  2. I totally just got back from Ulta too... Had to take advantage of the BOGO butter sale today! (I mean... it's basically like getting each one for cheaper than Essie or OPI!). And have you tried Chai Tea lattes? My mom introduced me to them and they are SOOO good! The perfect fall tea :)

    1. It was a great deal. I came home and looked online to see if I could snag HRH and Racing Green but they had limited colors on Ulta.com :( I do like Chai Tea lattes but it depends on who makes them since I don't like a whole lot of spice. Can you say picky?
