Fall Decor

Fall has finally arrived!!!! woohoo! My favorite time of the year.  I picked up a few new things to add to my fall decor and pulled out some of the old stuff too.  I'll just jump right into it..

Yesterday I picked up this prelit wicker pumpkin from Pier1. $39.95 I do believe.  Its indoor outdoor, and I like to enjoy it in the living room on a light switch.

Just a few older decorations I put on the entertainment center, I'm not sure where we got those.


Our favorite Halloween themed Decoration is this cool dead wire tree!  We got this years ago at Pier1,  they do still sell the ornaments and a similar tree.



Never say its too early to look at Christmas Decor at Hobby Lobby!  I found these guys in the Christmas Department just perfect for my Halloween tree and it seems like everything is always 40% off!



Ahh fall time is the best time to pull out all wonderful candles I secretively "not so secretively" hoard. 


Want to make your Living room more fall festive just throw in some pumpkin pillows (Chair from overstock.com, big ruffly pillow and little lace pillow from Pier1).


Or add a splash on color to a basic black couch like I did with these granny apple green throw pillows  (also from pier1).


I pulled in more of the green with a couple of cloth placemats I got from Kohl's last year.



You could also mix some prints to add some more color (Poison pillow from Hobby Lobby, Owl pillow from Pier1).


How Cute is this little guy!? 
(Pier1)




Now I love some pumpkin scents for fall, however I also love a good clean masculine scent like Mahogany Teakwood.  


Please excuse my dining room table doubling as my office at the moment but with the extra space I added a couple sparkly pumpkins (both Pier1) and this creepy/cute kitty (from Gordmans).  I like the vintage halloween vibe he gives!


And we couldn't forget the Puppy! He likes to be festive too.

Anthropologie Collective Haul

Anthropologie is one of  the best places for me to find little knick knacks for the house, especially the kitchen!  Over the past couple of months Ive picked up quite a few things I just couldn't wait to share with you...

First off I got a couple of kitchen towels to hang on my cabinets.  I adore this little french bulldog! pick him up here ;)





And I thought of Toby when I saw this darling dachshund towel...pick them up here :)




I wanted to really add a splash of color to my kitchen counters, so I knew this would be a perfect addition, because I mean who can resist an owl.  A Real Hoot Canister




On my next trip I wanted to pick up some stuff for this tray I got at Pier1.   p.s. I don't own any cookbooks so my current read had to suffice. 




 This stand is meant for holding plates but I love the idea of having it on the counter holding a cook book (once I find the perfect one) freaking adorable!  Crossed Spoons Stand




Attingham Teacup (available in so many colors) I think what sold me on this were the little bear claw feet! They remind me of those old-time bathtubs. This could also double as a jewelry holder.



Filomena Cake Server   Filomena Wisk  Latte Bowls (which also come in so many colors!)









And my last purchase is now my everyday go to mug!  Monogram Mug



Thanks for checking out my collective haul I can't wait to share more of the things I love with you! Until next time...

XOXO

Pumpkin Everything




Me!!! I'm beyond ready.  Fall is quickly approaching which means long sleeves sweaters and scarves, boots moccasins and clogs!  But the one thing I can't get enough of and look forward to every year is pumpkin everything!



Pumpkin Pie Glade smells absolutely amazing in my kitchen, you would think I'd baked!  I picked that and the glade candle up at Target yesterday along with some pumpkin spice k cups for the hubby.              
Then I had to run to Bath and Body Works "my home away from home" and picked up some sweet cinnamon pumpkin sanitizer and room spray.
Basket in the background also from target, my go to store for everything!
What are you most excited about for fall? 

                                                       xoxo

September Top Picks From Sephora



Recently My mom and I went on a shopping excursion for our birthdays coming up in september.  I don't know about you but I always have a mental wishlist  for sephora prepared in the back of my head.



This stuff Is absolutely Ahhhmazzing!




First on my mental list was Prada Candy, I just ran out of my last bottle.  I would defiantly describe this scent as seductive yet sophisticated.  Its that final touch I put on before going to work that makes me feel extra professional.  Its notes are Caramel, Musk, Vanilla, Benzoin. 
Next on my list was a new mascara, and I have to say it was a toss up between Benefits they're real and Too Faced Better than sex.  I went with too faced simply because I heard such great reviews on youtube and the fact that its supposed to add 1,944% more volume.  I only hope my lashes can handle it! 
Last on my list was a little gem that i had gotten a sample of in the past and fell instantly in love with.  Its by the Brand Fresh, Sugar lip treatment and has sunscreen SPF 15.  I like this for those days I'm just not feeling lipstick but want my lips to feel silky, nourished, and hydrated.  The best way I can describe Sugar is a High End more adult version of Baby Lips.  The version I picked up is untinted but Sugar comes in 11 different shades. 
Those were my top 3 from Sephora from September.  What's in your top 3? 

XOXO, 
         Jamie



J crew goodies!





There's just something I've always loved about J Crews sparkly goodness, every time I go to the mall I get sucked in.  But luckily they had a 25% off sale so I got these lovelies for a bargain. Check out the pieces here.
 XOXO,
          Jamie
