Happy Sunday night! How was your weekend? We did some exploring, some shopping, some hanging around. Pretty much the perfect way to spend two late-fall days.

Here's what caught my eye this week:

How gorgeous is this vintage velvet dress from Vintage Urban Renewal? So perfect for the holidays.

This patchwork tote from Jess Amity might just be the perfect bag for fall.

A pretty look for fall.

These chakra leggings would be perfect for a workout.

All about shades of grey this fall.

29 Thanksgiving sides... because the sides are the best part.

Love this moon phase necklace.

This week I made this dried citrus holiday garland, it smells amazing!

This dress would look so cute with a red beanie and doc martens.

Quit possibly the coziest sweater to ever exist.

Can you imagine discovering something like this? So incredible.

This coat looks so cozy.

The 1970's fashion apocalypse.

My new fashion icon.

How cute is this scalloped hem skirt? So cute. And this coat. Ugh.

So excited for Tieka!

Well, these chocolate pinecones are pretty much the cutest ever.

I bet this candle smells amazing.

Happy Tuesday! How's it going for you so far? I went for a haircut this weekend, and well, I'm not stoked about it. It's pretty awful actually, but hey, at least it's hat season, right? This week I'm off to Richmond, Virginia for work and I can't wait, it' my first experience travelling for FP and my first time in Richmond and I have some really fun things planned. So stay tuned!

PS - I'm binge watching Gilmore Girls and couldn't be happier. Except I think Chris and I might be Babette and Maury?

I can't believe it's the last day -- the last night! -- of September. This month has flown right by and I'm spending these last few hours exactly how I want to be: Drinking wine, watching Scandal, and blogging. Am I a stereotype? Perhaps. Am I perfectly content to be? Sure. This past weekend was so good, my mom came to town and I got to play tourist and tour guide. Despite waking up with one hell of a cold on Saturday, I had a great time and it was exciting to show my mom our new home.

Let's hear it for fall weather! It's finally cooling off, my clothes are all unpacked, and I feel somewhat human again.

I just rolled in from spending the weekend in West Virginia for our friend's wedding, and man was it magical. I needed some fresh mountain air and friend-vibes. We even got a little taste of fall, too. Much needed. Now I'm watching Drunk History with the cat. Also much needed.

It's about that time again. We're living in a smaller place which means less room for clothes, so I've been cleaning out my closet -- BIG TIME. I'll be listing stuff on my closet sale Instagram from now through, well, infinity, so if you're interested, check out @orchidgreyscloset. Lots of vintage, shoes, and things from my last job that I bought and never wore.

Chris and I have basically been hiking all weekend, the weather is gorgeous, and I've been enjoying the chance to get outside and reconnect. We've got an exciting project on the horizon, lots of fun things ahead.
