Hey Cuties,
How was the weekend? Ours was good, we had to change up the program but fun nevertheless. Babe and I planned an end of the summer activity for the family at Kings Dominion. The kids have never been and I was really looking forward to it but such is life. Hurricane Florence shut that all the way down with a torrential downpour. We met up with TheStyle Medic and her family and played Laser Tag! It was more of a workout than I remember. If you and or your loved ones are in the path of the now category 4 hurricane be safe!
We are 12 days away from the fall and I am excited. The school supplies have been packed up and Halloween costumes are everywhere. I am over summer and I am sending fall all of my good vibes. Fall is my favorite time of the year for several reasons.
Shirt: Koral Watch Top
Reason #1: Fall Fashion
I love fall fashion because it is the best of both worlds. You can transition some of your summer pieces into fall fashion. You can rock booties and a peep toe and be perfectly fashionable and cute. If it gets chilly you can put on a moto jacket, a bomber, or my favorite a denim jacket. I complete my look with a hoop scarf and you can’t tell me anything. Oh, I can’t forget the best loungewear ever, a onesie pajama.
Business in the front, and party in the back.
Reason #2: My Birthday
I am a proud Libra born on October 18th. I like long walks in the mall, and Netflix and chilling. I enjoy celebrating another year of life no matter how big or small that celebration might be. This year is my last go around with these here 30’s. You better believe I am going to make it count in major ways. I’m even more excited about turning 40 next year.
Reason #3: Television
This is when my favorite shows return. My DVR is worked more than a hooker on a Friday night. I’m talking Grey’s Anatomy, This is Us, 9-1-1, Black Lightning, Station 19, Blackish, Grownish, The Chi and a few others.
Reason #4: Food
Our meals get hearty, I’m a true fatty at heart so this should probably be reason number one. I can officially make chili, sweet potato pie, and get the crockpot going on a regular basis. Then there is Thanksgiving, the Super Bowl of food.
Reason #5: Fresh Air
The weather is great for opening the windows and airing the house out a bit. This also means I get a break on my electric bill. Amen! Oddly enough I enjoy a good hike this time of the year as well. I have committed to a workout plan with Babe so I can get some running in before it gets cold. Plus I need to work off all the food I mentioned above.

Yessss! I can’t wait for Shonda shows to start. I like to brag that I’m a day 1 Grey’s Anatomy fan. That means something to me. 😂😂😂
Yes, Shonda keeps me entertained and in my feelings at the same time.
Ha! I binge watched after 12 seasons.
We like a lot of the same TV shows! I feel like I need to be productive for the next few weeks before all my TV shows return.
Sorry your Kings Dominion plans got delayed. You’re going to have even more rain this weekend too.
We have great taste, I totally get lazy in the fall
No worries, we still had a great time doing laser tag.
ok. let me first start off by saying that dress is too cute and sexy! Love, Love, Love! I love wearing boots. That’s my favorite thing I love about fall.
Thanks, it was a nice mixture of classy and sassy.
Boots are a good one, I stay in Uggs.
Love these looks, the cutout back of that top yesssss! When Summer ends I’m like scrooge at Christmas lol I’m going to try hard to embrace Fall & Winter this year these are great reminders of the good things this change in season offers.
Yes, I love the back. I had to put on a bra, but you can go free too.
I’m going to work on you. lol
I LOL’d at “biz in front, party in the back”. I am a summer baby and love the long days but fall is near and I won’t shed a tear. As you list implies, there is lots to love!
Cheers to that!
Love the looks and fall is my favorite time of year too.
Yay for fall loving.
Next to spring, fall is one of my favorite seasons because of Pumpkin everything, the mild weather, sweaters….
I love everything about the fall except the pumpkin stuff. lol
Girl I am excited about some new Fall line ups and my favs of This Is Us, Grownish and Blackish yay! Also yay youre a Libra I love libras you all are cool people!
Yes, I’m such a Libra to my core. We are cool though.
I must admit I am looking forward to Fall as well. We are in a new place this year so I am looking forward to EVERYTHING, fall, the holidays, even a few snow storms. I’m always up for hibernating during a big snow storm. I can’t wait to see your Halloween Costumes, they’re always the best!
Congrats on the new place, that makes everything more exciting. I am excited about the snow days that we will have, come October I totally plan to hibernate as well. lol I have already started working on my first Halloween Costume for the year.
I’m a libra too. I’m getting ready for my birthday and just made a spa appointment. I realized that after 35 I need to be more intentional about my own self-love.
Yes, you do my fellow Libra. A spa appointment sounds incredible.
I think we have a lot in common. Fall birthdays a love of fall fashion and of course tv. But I also enjoy the holiday season and the way it looks outside so beautiful!
It sounds like we totally do. The Holiday season is my favorite time of the year.
Looking lovely Mimi. I love fall too. I love the heat but after a while a sister needs to throw on her boots.
Yes, my Uggs are one of my favorite pair of shoes to wear ever.
When I lived in the midwest, I used to love Fall for the clothes alone! Love that top from Koral!
P.S. Hey Libra! I’m at the end of September. 🙂
See, great minds think alike. Happy Early Birthday my Libra sister.
Love the outfits! I love Fall too. Mostly for fashion and food, oh and all pumpkin everything. Well, until I get tired of it.
Hahahahhaa
I’m all about celebrating your birthday month, so yay for fall for you. And that top…party in the back all day!
Yasssss! You can be just as cute walking away in this top.
Fall TV!
The best thing about Fall to me is the beginning of TV season. I like to record and binge over the weekend when I have time. Also to me grilled food taste better when it’s done in the fall. So there are a couple more grilling sessions in the works for us.
I am so excited about the news shows.
I need to trying grilling food this fall.
Mimi I loved this post ! We have a lot in common, I’m a winter baby but Fall is my favorite season. I feel that I dress better in the fall and I love everything about the season. I usually write the best during this season!
You are my spirit animal.
I agree. I’m glad the fall line up is back. Some good tv finally lol. Any plans for the big 40? I love that white too you are wearing too.
Thanks. I have zero birthday plans, I want a very low key 39 because 40 is going to be the absolute most.
