two weeks until thanksgiving!

thanksgiving might just be my favorite holiday.

the food, the family, the feeling.

i can't believe it's only two weeks away!

i'm going home next monday

and i can't wait

because home means hugs from my doggy

and being silly with my sisters

and baking

baking

baking.

here are a few recipes i cannot wait to try

instaweekend

this was the perfect fall weekend

complete with rain, boots, football, and scarves.

saturday was gameday, and my bears killed. happy faces all around.

on saturday night we celebrated my friend taylor's 22nd (look how happy she looks!) ;)

and on sunday my sorority hosted our founder's day luncheon.

sigma kappa is 137 years old this year!

i gave a little speech, we had a candle lighting ceremony, and we celebrated with our sisters from sacramento state and chico state.

me and my little! i'm wearing: dress and top Nordstrom; tights Walgreens; suede skirt Sway in Berkeley; wedges Jeffrey Campbell; red lipstick Bare Escentuals in strength

i was calling my ponytail "hangover chic" because i was indeed hungover.

very satisfying weekend, and now to catch up on school.

happy monday!

Happy November!

Seriously cannot believe November is here already!

It seems like just yesterday that I was making my list of new year's resolutions.

And now I only have two more months to stick to them!

November will be such a fun month.

My sorority has an invite Thursday

so I will be dressed up as a bride and dancing the night away in San Francisco.

This Saturday is GAMEDAY, so once again I'll be dancing my life away in SF watching my Bears (hopefully) roll on to victory.

In two weeks we have our date party

and then it's Thanksgiving week! Once of my very favorite weeks of the year.

On that Monday, Paige and I are seeing Katy Perry in concert

(you. make. me. feel like i'm livin' a teenage dream)

and then I will be venturing home to dear ol' Hollister for the first time since August

to celebrate my mama's birthday and Turkey Day.

November is rounded out by Paige's 17th birthday.

Can't believe how old she is already!

This month also means real fall weather

and scarves and boots and layers.

mmmm. November, I think we'll get along quite nicely!

wake me up when september ends

(hehe, couldn't resist a cheesy green day title)

CAN'T believe it's the last day of september already!

i guess that really means fall is here.

i can't wait for boots and browns and crunching leaves

and snuggling by the fire

and wearing scarves

and drinking hot apple cider.

what are your favorite things about fall?

happy last day of september!
