embroidered pillow, floppy hat, leather backpack (on sale), soap, palm cuff, dresser

I'm officially over summer! While sunshine is nice and summertime adventures are a ton of fun, I'm so ready for the crunch of leaves beneath my feet and an extra pump of pumpkin spice in my lattes. Since we're in that awkward transition stage when it comes to fashion (do you buy another pair of cutoff shorts or go ahead and start picking up boots?), I'm adding a little autumn to my wardrobe in small increments. This week's favorites is a roundup of things cropping up on my wishlist for the new season...

Last Friday Ginny and I stopped by our local #anthroevent (a pop-up market with local vendors... so much fun) and I immediately tried on this floppy hat. I've thought about it at least once a day since and I'm headed back as soon as my calender (and wallet) allow. I'm also eager to get my hands on a few cozy touches for our apartment as the seasons change. Add the perfect backpack (I'm loving them instead of a purse for fall) and jewelry for a place I've never thought to put jewelry and you've got the perfect wishlist to welcome colorful foliage!

Hey there! It's been a while since I checked in like this and given the shortage of text around here recently I decided that a Chelsea Lately post was long overdue... Here's what I've been up to:

feeling excited about opening a studio space soon
liking free people's newest arrivals
making an easy DIY project
cooking homemade mexican food for friends
drinking water, water and more water
reading all of my favorite blogs and little else
wanting art for our walls at home
looking for the first signs of fall
playing our new record player
wasting time when I should be cleaning house
wishing that migraines would subside
enjoying so many new projects
waiting for the return of cool weather

wondering what to wear to a potluck tonight
hoping to fit in some yoga
marveling at your sweet comments lately
needing a nap in a big way
smelling  tea tree and lavender
wearing the mister's college tee shirt
following an exciting new path
noticing how hard it is to do it all
knowing there's not enough time in the day
thinking about potty training
bookmarking interesting fashion publications
opening too many tabs... again
giggling at lorelai's sweet voice

I usually hate Mondays but not today! With a couple more looks to share from our big Anthropologie shoot this week, I spent the weekend looking forward to today's blog post. I am beyond obsessed with this series of images and I can't believe what sweet and docile creatures these doves were! We spent the day cooing to our new friends and happy-dancing when they sat still so that we could capture a few iconic shots.
