Five Things

September 30th, 2011



{Gifted Chanel nail polishes that also serve as art}

Tomorrow marks the start of my favorite month of the year. In order to celebrate (and finally take an evening off), we’re planning on watching a scary movie (recommendations are welcome!), ordering take-out, turning out the lights, and finishing the remaining bites of this. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and in the meantime, here are five things currently making me happy.

{Seasonal decorating – a miniature pumpkin carved into a vase}



{I’m having a gold + sparkly jewel moment}



{Food truck favorite – cheesy tots }



{New obsession – Reed Krakoff’s Boxer bag}

P.S. To kick off the rainy season in style, we’re giving away a classic Burberry trenchcoat over at Beso! Enter to win here.

    Sorry- apparently hit send before I finished. I’m a fairly new follower and reader, but just wanted to let you know that I love your blog!

    And you should watch The Shining or Rosemary’s Daughter. Those are my favorites.

    I totally love the fall. And with the time going back an hour for us tonight and the nights getting earlier, it means more cuddle time under blankets!

    1. The Chanel polishes are awesome! I can’t lie. I’d probably never even use them up! So keeping them as pretty art is a great fashion decor idea!!!

    2. The pumpkin looks cute but even more amazing is the floral arrangement ! Those flowers are gorgeous! What kind are those?

    3. The jewelry…simply lovely :) I love anything sparkly too.lol

    4. CHEESY TOTS! ahhh. now I have a craving and must go find some! lol. thanks!

    5. That bag is really cute! Would look great w/ the grey trench I have for this fall! hmmm!

    Great 5 Things!

    Oh yum, cheesy tots! Food trucks are just starting to get pretty popular here in Nashville, but none (that I know of) with cheese tots. That sounds delicious!
