Fall time is the best time for outdoor activities. Pumpkin patches and apple orchards can call for days of fresh air and fun times in the lovely crisp fall air. This year I visited two apple orchards: one with my boyfriend and the other with my best friend Abby! Here are some outfit ideas for these lovely fall outdoor adventures.

Jonamac Orchard with my boyfriend. I wore the classic fall outfit: boots, plaid, and a vest!

 He loves taking random "modeling" pictures of me so I turned the camera around on him :)

black leggings // (old) maurice's

vest // (old) north face

My grandmother makes the world's best apple pie I swear! Only I'm not entirely sure her recipe (yet, I'll get it some day) so I'll give you some of my other favorite apple recipes

Apple Fritter

Snickers Caramel Apple Salad

Trick-or-Treat!

A little recap of my final Halloween costume decision. Last minute I went with the ninja costume. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make a little ninja turtle-esque mask but check out these awesome swords!

I got pretty awesome and pulling these swords out like a B.A. ninja! (Luckily my boyfriend was there to help me put the swords back in their holders)

 My boyfriend knows my love for holiday decorations and picked up this adorable little "poison" bottle for 50% off at a cute little local store.

And of course here is our pumpkin we picked up at the patch the other day! We both love minions and the Despicable Me movies so we carved a little minion who unfortunately was a tad too large for our pumpkin but we made it work!

How did you spend your holiday? Any fun costumes?!

Greetings from Ireland

Happy Tuesday!

Sorry my update has taken so long, this vacation has been crazy so far!

 

I also apologize for the quality of these pictures, my "travel camera" isn't the best but I'm making due!

Experiencing terrain from the cobblestone streets of Temple Bar to the grassy hillsides of Doolin I have found these boots to be the best item I packed. I purposely went out shopping for some of these boots before my trip and definitely do not regret it. I found these beauties at Charlotte Russe, they convert from a basic brown combat boot to a chic boot simply by folding them over.

The chiller climate of Ireland has greatly influenced layering in my wardrobe. A light jean button down is perfect to throw over your top while out sightseeing in the brisk Ireland air but is easily removable to prevent over heating in all of the fabulous shopping centers around town. I paired it with my new light lime green oversized vneck sweater and my comfy black shorts. I recently discovered an amazing store in Ireland called Penney's (not jcp) and found this absolute steal- oversized tan tote for about $6, how can you beat that?!

Finally Friday

Happy Friday everyone! I hope everyone had a great and safe Fourth of July. Today I had to run a few errands with my momma and of course I stopped to take a few pictures at a local golf course. Today's ensemble was inspired by my black pair of open toe stilettos I purchased while in Ireland, they've been sitting on a self for quite some time and I thought it was about time to change that!

 

 

 I apologize for my ugly toe nails, I'm in desperate need of a pedi!!

 As far as makeup goes I paired the whole outfit with a very simple lined eye (black eyeliner) a little mascara and to add a little pop I lined the inside corner of my eye with a glittery eyeliner. I also used a tiny bit of a light pink lipstick to wrap it up. So I've been seeing all sorts of great arm parties and I've decided I just don't own enough bracelets. Any suggestions??
