Moss and leaves.

Hi, doves! So, some days just don't go as planned, and that's all right, you know? When I took these photos, I wasn't feeling all that well, and I'd already played around with another outfit and hated it (meh, it happens). But I made myself try out this outfit I've been waiting ages to wear and forced my sad sack self back outside. And I'm glad I did!

(Ruche dress, ? blouse (I'll figure it out eventually), Sock Dreams socks, Chase & Chloe shoes)

(Fake heron photobomb... Protecting the creatures of our pond!)

I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling pretty whatever about September. Bring on October and chilly bike rides and bonfires! I can't wait for the leaves to change and the air to smell of dirt and leaves and smoke.

Witches in disguise...

Hi, doves! I figured this would be the perfect time for me to crawl out from under my rock since it's the first day of autumn here and, most importantly, because Halloween is on its way! 

Sometimes the blurriest photos are my favourite...

I've been gradually getting my house ready for the season and our annual Halloween shindig (including playlist construction). This summer was insanely busy as usual (we finally picked a wedding venue and date! You know, only two years later. We've been together nearly ten years; "rushing" isn't in our vocabulary heh), so I'm ready to slow down a bit and enjoy the fall.

I have a bunch of autumnal and Halloween inspired outfits coming up, and I'm super excited to get back into it. So stay tuned!
