LIFE LATELY

one // my gold stack ft. alex and ani "live a happy life" and "boston" bangles, kate spade bff bangle, and shop lately's "born to be fab" bracelet
two // happy hour sangria and appetizers from Bravo with some of my girlfriends. Their appetizers during happy hour are only $4, so if you have a Bravo in your area, hit that up! :)
three // my work view from Starbucks...loving all the mums everywhere!
four // the cutest co-worker in the world! (rug is from land of nod, chair from amazon)

five // this royal blue flower power necklace from Molly Suzanne is a new favorite (other colors to pick from, too!)
six // recent forever 21 shopping haul (all for $80!): a burgundy dress, burgundy waffle sweater, cream with gold striped scarf, a new favorite plaid (seriously love this plaid!), and a casual sweatshirt.
seven // welcoming fall with my albion fit striped capris (sold out but these are similar and so cute) and go long crew top with thumbholes (the best!) - they are some of my most comfortable workout gear!
eight // made my first batch of 4 bean chili last night. There is nothing better than a good chili or soup on a chilly evening!

nine // black and tan outfit with my phillip lim bag! this jacket I got from h&m last year and has leather on the sleeves..it's one of my favorites.
ten // Rocky was ready for the OSU game Saturday with his jersey and his "dog beer" toy ;)
eleven // the California-based coffee, Peet's Coffee and Tea, just opened up new locations in Columbus! We first had Peet's when we went to San Francisco and are thrilled to have it by us now. It keeps a little piece of California here with me...

speaking of California, hard to believe we will be there next Weds! Ah! Cannot.wait.

twelve // our first caramel apples of the season and it seems like someone wanted his own! ;)

Then, something really exciting happened last night...I got the phone call from my best friend that she is ENGAGED!

absolutely gorgeous, right? He did so good!

I am so over the moon happy for her! I'm sure I will be posting about an engagement party soon enough. :) Congratulations Lindsay and Shawn...love you guys.

PS: House update...we are getting a new roof today AND are almost finished putting up our new doors. Billy has been working so hard on them! I feel so old/lame sharing these, but if you have a house, I know you can relate to my excitement.
