I'm trying hard to enjoy the last few weeks of Summer but my heart is already living in Fall! I'm so ready for temperatures to drop, sleeves to get longer and leaves to get crunchy. J Crew's second wave of Autumn pieces has officially launched and I'm in love... This round is full of chic cold-weather tops, the infamous excursion vest (I've got my eye on one this season after having missed out last year) and the PERFECT casual trench (here). Bring on the Fall... this girl is ready!

Happy Friday friends. This week has been fantastic! We spent an afternoon catching up with a family friend, got even more pumped about our Alabama adventure and I had a very productive phone-meeting. Lately, it seems that the chances I'm taking are starting to pay off! I'm so excited to grow this little blog and continue to bring you fun content. I hope your weekend is relaxing and filled with a few leaps of faith!

Here's what I've been loving this week:

a stunning trip to Napa Valley on Style Me Pretty Living
the sweetest look into Joy Cho's home in Better Homes & Gardens
Mackenzie from Design Darling's home tour via The Glitter Guide
the workspaces of some of my favorite girls on the web
& J Crew on Film: The Secret Language of Monograms

Summer has definitely been the season of pattern mixing (for me at least)! At first, I was a little worried about clashing but I gathered up all of my "fashion rules" and threw them out the window. Birds, stripes, floral... bring 'em on! The obsession is even carrying over to Lorelai's closet. I tend to dress her tiny versions of things I would wear (I mean, how cute is that cargo vest?!)... the next day she even rocked stripes + polka dots!

In other news, I'm started to get wayyyy excited about our upcoming move. Expect a few home decor posts and a whole lot of daydreaming in posts to come!
