Bushel of Fun


A bushel full of fun! I love going apple picking in the fall. I always go to the same apple orchard and pumpkin patch year after year. I've gone so many years that it feels weird to not take a trip! My favorite apple orchard is Honey Hill Orchard in Waterman, IL. It is a drive but it is so worth it. 


This year sadly we went too late for apple picking. It has rained non-stop in the Chicago area and I wanted to go on a dry day. Luckily, I was able to head there on Columbus Day when I had the day off! We weren't able to pick apples but we stocked up on apple pie, apple cider donuts, apple cider, popcorn, and we picked raspberries! 


You can also go pumpkin picking at Honey Hill! They seriously have some gorgeous pumpkins. Plus you can wander through the patch and get the full Midwest fall experience. 


For my apple orchard look my Bean Boots are an essential component. It gets muddy in the fields so I try to always wear them when I go! They are super durable plus look cute. I always wore chunky socks with them and have them peak out the top of the boots. Makes for a super cozy relaxed look. Not to mention they are super practical for the Midwest fall and winters. Can't go wrong with a pair of Bean Boots. 


Then of course I wore this gorgeous Barbour jacket. This is part of their 125th anniversary collection called Re-Engineered Icons. They are all inspired by archive pieces throughout the 125 years of Barbour. This style in particular is one of my favorites! Gorgeous velvet details, a lining infused with sparkly threads, and just a ton of small meaningful details. 


To complete the perfect fall look I wore this cozy J. Crew Factory sweater from last year and my trusty Paige jeans. To top it all off I carried my adorable Mickey pumpkin backpack.

Jacket: Barbour
Sweater: J. Crew Factory (similar)

Boots: LL Bean 
Backpack: Shop Disney

Pumpkin Queen


I'm the pumpkin queen! I just love fall you guys. There is something about pumpkins, the leaves changing, and all of the colors I just love. Nothing beats bright orange, yellow, and red leaves in the fall! 


I took a trip to the Morton Arboretum for their Glass Pumpkin patch and it was a treat as always. We went on Sunday this year, which last year we went on a Saturday. I will sale the pumpkins were picked over. They have huge displays with hand blown glass pumpkins at the event! This year they were almost cleared out by Sunday. I highly recommend the event but next year we may go on Thursday when it opens to get the full effect! 


The Morton Arboretum is about 40min outside of Chicago, on a good day, but is a great fall getaway from the city! Whether you live downtown, in the burbs, or visiting I highly recommend it. You can attend events like the glass pumpkin patch, cider tastings, or drive around the property to see all of the leaves and fall colors. Plus look at this photo op! I am obsessed. 


As for my outfit I am rocking my prized Alexa Chung x Barbour jacket. Barbour did a collab with her to create these super unique and cool jackets. This style in particular is a jacket made with a ton of different wax patches and colors. It makes for such a cool and unique jacket! I paired my jacket with my go-to pair of Paige jeans and black Cole Haan boots. Plus, this adorable pumpkin backpack I got from Disneyland! I got so many compliments on it. It's so fun and perfect for fall whether you are in or out of the parks.

Boo to You


Boo you whore.... name that movie! If you guessed Mean Girls you are right. Who else loves Mean Girls? In some ways I think of it as a Halloween movie. I think it's because a good chunk of the movie takes place in the fall. Plus, you can forget that memorable Halloween Party scene? 


This adorable tee is from a small shop called Pink Sunday. I think it is too funny, and perfect for Halloween. They have the best pop culture tees, sweatshirts, and more! Shop this tee here. Pairing this tee with a sparkly midi skirt and whimsical headband is giving me all the Halloween vibes. This skirt is super old from Target but I've linked similar options below. 


What is your favorite Mean Girls quote? "She doesn't even go here" is my favorite! Let me know your favorite in the comments.

Lele Sadoughi x J. Crew


I think my dream collaboration has finally come! My newest obsession of Lele Sadoughi headbands has joined forces with my favorite brand J. Crew to create a holiday collection. These headbands and accessories have all the Lele style I love plus classic J. Crew touches. Plus these pieces will be perfect to wear during Christmas time. Hello, I'm already planning for the holiday season! I can picture these headbands working perfectly to complete any holiday ensemble. Plus, the best part is they are at pretty easy price points. Most Lele Sadoughi headbands for embellished styles are around $170, while these pearl headbands are around $130 for the larger sizes. Not a bad deal considering you save around $50! Also, pro tip: the kid's headbands fit adults. They are the exact same size. So, you can get a petite headband for around $60 to save money as well. Score! I picked up a few pieces because I have no self control + they were just too gorgeous. 

 A cool fact about Lele Sadoughi is that she actually started out as J. Crew's first head of jewelry. So, that classic pearl necklace that everyone has from J. Crew we have her to thank for that! I love that even though she left J. Crew they joined forces for this collaboration. I cannot say enough good things about the Lele pieces I already own, so I am so excited to receive my goodies from this collaboration!




Did you pick up anything from the collab? Be sure to shop my favorites above!

Amuck Amuck!


It's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus! Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite Halloween Movies. So, when I saw this tee at Target I knew I had to pick it up. Plus, it is super affordable! I've linked it at the end of this post. 


I paired my Hocus Pocus tee with this gorgeous blazer from the Atlantic Pacific x Halogen collection last year. I still love this blazer so much. The colors are perfect to pair with any fall look. Plus, it is super soft and comfortable. 


Naturally I styled my tee with my pearl Lele headband which makes the look instantly fancier. The power of a good headband is not something to take for granted! 


By pairing a tee with a blazer and a fancier accessory you can instantly elevate the look. I love finding new ways to wear tees! Whether you pair it with a blazer, a skirt, or find another unique way to layer it you can extend the use of the tee. I'm always looking for different ways to wear things! It keeps getting dressed interesting, instead of wearing the same outfit combinations on repeat. 
What is your favorite Halloween movie? I love Hocus Pocus, Halloween Town, and Nightmare Before Christmas. Let me know your favorite in the comments!
XOXO

Dose of Disney: Fang Club


Who's the leader of the Mickey Mouse Fang Club? Me! I am such a fall person. So, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Behind Christmas of course. I just love al of the treats, scents, and festive things that go along with Halloween. Except I am not a fan of horror or scary things. Sorry not sorry I'm not trying to have nightmares from IT for the rest of my life. Movies like Haunted Mansion, Halloween Town, Hocus Pocus, and Charlie Brown are much more my speed. 


However, dressing in spooky cute things is my speed. Like this adorable ringer tee from the parks! I picked up a bunch of Halloween stuff while at Disneyland in August and was able to get some cute spooky photos early! Sadly we missed the decor by a week or two. But, Haunted Mansion is always spooky! We opted for this haunted attraction as the backdrop for this look. 


Frontier Land/ New Orleans Square at Disneyland has some cool vibes. It's much different then Disney World. I love that Haunted Mansion is closer to Thunder Mountain! Also, New Orleans Square is so cute!! And has some great food. For sure wish we had something similar in Disney World. 


Where it's from: 
Shirt: Shop Disney
Ears: Shop Disney
Shorts: J. Crew (similar)
Sunglasses: Ray Bans

Atlantic Pacific x Halogen at Nordstrom


PURPLE POWER 






Purple is my all time favorite color! The collection last year featured a ton of great purple clothing pieces including this striped sweater. I also picked up a purple blazer and cable knit too! This year, there are pieces in a mauve purple shade that I love. You can't go wrong with a cute polka dot dress or cozy sweater!



BOW-TERIFFIC





The bigger the bow the better. At least in my opinion! Just like last year the famous bow shirt is back! Every time I wear this pink bow blouse I get so many compliments on it. Last year I got the matching pink blazer too! This year the top is back with a different twist. The bows are organza instead of velvet. I picked up the black and white top this year to add to my bow collection. Of course I couldn't' skip the plaid bow dress too! And the cape... OKAY anything with a bow I basically purchased.


RAINBOW ROW 





Blair always adds a ton of color into all of these collections and her everyday style. Which, is why I love her so much! Last year I got this adorable rainbow stripe top which is one of my favorites. It is so comfy. This year she has a few multi-colored stripe options that are perfect for fall.


SUIT-ABLE 




If there is one thing Blair does amazing is making a blazer or suit look chic. There are so many menswear inspired pieces this season that I love. I opted for all of the plaid things! This brown shade plaid in particular I love. From platform oxfords, tights, to a blazer this print is on everything. For sure not opposed!

Did you pick up anything from the collection? Let me know in the comments!
XOXO
