If someone would like to deliver some toasted pumpkin seeds and chilled Kit Kat Bars, I wouldn’t hate it…. Happy Halloween all!

Apples to Apples
The most gorgeous fall day was had this past weekend. Apples were picked. Pumpkins were selected. Doughnuts were devoured, and cider was sipped. Fall is here, and all is well now.

Awkward:
-Getting kicked out of Starbucks at 6:20 pm when they close at 7, so the employee could wash the floors. I understand, you’ve had a long day, but when I worked in the food industry, we didn’t even begin cleaning until our actual closing time. And even then we didn’t kick out dawdlers!
-Being caught as a part of the only group in costume not once but twice this Halloween season.
-Forgetting where the question mark key [?] is on my computer while typing this morning. How does that even happen?
Awesome:
-Going to NEW YORK this weekend to see my bff [kTk]!
-Hanging out with a certain funny character from a certain movie [Superbad] last weekend :)
-My Halloween outfit pictured above [since my office was not keen on dressing in costume] is pumpkin-themed!
-SYDNEY [the host of these glorious A&A Thursday link ups] HAD HER BABY!!
Halloween Scenes
Happy Halloween ladies n’ gents!! I hope you all enjoyed your Halloweekends and that your Monday is still candy- and costume-filled!
I realized this weekend that I love this city because ever since about Thursday, no matter what time of day, no matter where I was, there was always someone in costume. 1 pm bus ride on Saturday? Bumblebee. 5 pm dinner? Mummy. Etc, etc. I admire these people.
Linking up with a {little} dash of ash today to share all these Instagrams! You should too ;)
Punkin’ Huntin’!
Last weekend, Sarah of Hemenway Street and Stephanie of That’s Better hosted the cutest. fall. event. ever. We went apple and pumpkin picking at Lookout Farms in Natick, MA and then spent the afternoon painting and glittering pumpkins and leaves [you know I'm a fan of anything having to do with glitter] and eating the most delicious pumpkin treats baked by Stephanie!
I met these two girls back at Rendez-Vous New Engand and was so thrilled for a chance to hang out with them again! We already brought up the idea of a holiday meet-up, so New England bloggers stay tuned.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the day… so hard to narrow down! We couldn’t have asked for better weather, so don’t be afraid of those ominous clouds in some of the backgrounds…!

Photo by Sarah, from our day at the farm, I promise a recap is coming soon!!
Awkward:
- Oh this is a good one.
When I was in college, I was on the board for my school’s Fashion Society. Every year, we held a Next Top Male Model competition and ran it very similarly to the real America’s Next Top Model, with photoshoots, live judging, etc. Last fall one of the photoshoot prompts was to remake famous advertisements, including Axe. My friend and I had to stand in as Axe girls with the male model contestant. It was all cute and funny and forgotten about as soon as the show was over. UNTIL I received word last week that SOMEHOW Axe/the MLB/TBS got ahold of the photo, superimposed Cal Ripken Jr.’s face over the actual male model’s, and it is playing in a commercial during the MLB playoffs. Really great.
I have yet to see the commercial, but here is a photo for proof that it exists. If anyone does in fact see it, I apologize in advance.
-I’m not quite used to my new apartment’s setup yet, so after a long day Friday, I flopped on my couch, leaned back, and smacked my head so dang hard that I felt a bump arise just like you’d see in those old cartoons. Pain to the max. Washing my hair all week has been quite the challenge.
Awesome:
-I got to go to a pre-screening of Like Crazy this week. Not only was the film amazing, but director Drake Doremus and actress Felicity Jones were both there for a Q&A at the end! And let me tell you kids, this girl? She’s gonna be a star.
-SOMEHOW, without even looking, I stumbled on a pair of Missoni for Target heels, and the last ones in my size! They aren’t the flats I lusted over so badly, but if they were still there this late in the game (aka #MissoniforTarget sheeetshow), I think they were mean to be.
-A space heater in my office and a warm cup of pumpkin coffee. Nothin’ beats the rain like that combo.
-That belt up there? ^ It’s from the clearance pile at Wet Seal. #sorryimnotsorry
Free Fallin’
Another perfect autumn weekend here in New England. I got to spend Saturday with some lovely ladies… pumpkin hunting, apple picking, and sparkle crafting! Full recap to come when I can sort through my 200 photos, but here’s some instagrams to give you a little taste of fall :)
