Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! So we survived the hurricane, honestly around here in Northern Virginia it was more like a bad rain storm which I am very very thankful for power out with a 19 month old is NO FUN at all not even for the first 5 minutes so I am grateful we kept our power and the storm didnt do any damage to our new home. Since I had so much time inside these past 48 hours I obviously spent way too much time on Pinterest here are some of my favorite pins for the week. I hope all of you that were affected by the storm are OK xoxo

In love with the light and airy playroom and all of the great organization

 Basically anything taco I am sold on...this speaks for itself YUM

 I know this may seem weird but I need this in my cabinets nothing makes me more annoyed that looking through my cabinets and all of my pots and pans falling out so frustrating!!! I think this rack is only like 9 bucks at Lowes

How beautiful is this table? I have been looking at it trying to decide why I am so in love with it and I think it is the light blue napkins against the gold tablecloth..just beautiful

I am always on the hunt for great basics to wear around the house and when I run my errands with Kael the days of getting unpractical clothes are sadly over for a while so I love when I find an affordable website that sells cute tops with a little extra detail how cute its this scalloped top?? Found it over on SheInside its got some cute stuff check it out!

Helllllloooo I am back.... we have moved and are finally feeling a little { emphasis on little } settled dont get me wrong we def still have brown boxes scattered around and more furniture to buy but the basic stuff is out and we are getting to know our new hood. This past weekend we went back to where we grew up for the wedding of two of our best friends it was the first wedding that me and Jay have both been in together which was kinda fun and to make matters more fun we introduced this couple so it was a very very sweet weekend and a gorgeous fall wedding. So back to the house ..I am going to do a little room reveal once I am done decorating each room a little before and after if you like that kind of thing. No room is ready for that yet but I will get your opinion on some small decisions I am trying to make we have a hutch in our dining room that we keep all of our wine martini glasses ect in and I want to repaint in and line the back with wallpaper I have decided on this color for the hutch I have been eyeing it for a while on my pinterest isnt the cornflower blue gorgeous? 

                                         Now I need to decide which wallpaper to line it with? Remember me mentioning the awesome fabric website Spoonflower ? Well now they also make custom wallpaper how amazing it that?? Here are a few of my favorites for the hutch, what do you think?

        For those of your braving the Frakenstorm { which we are } stay dry and safe!!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!! Anyone else getting excited about Halloween besides me? I am still not sure what Im going to dress Kael as yet. Last year he was an adorable elephant and I think I am going to go the baby costume rt one more year before next year comes and he starts vetoing costumes. I am feeling so inspired by some of these fall decorating ideas I am seeing I think we might be a little too busy at the new house for me to find the time to put into some of them but I will def put them into my internet hoarding space { Pinterest } and remember them for next year! Hope you guys all enjoy your HUMP day!!

If I was going to have a haunted house { which I never will because I HATE Haunted Houses } I would pick this adorable invitation!! 

 Oh yea me and Husband J celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary yesterday can't believe its been three years since we 
were in a room surrounded by Family and Friends dancing to this song which will forever be my favorite.

Monday, Monday...

This is it..the last week the three of us will live in our FIRST home together. So bittersweet and it will probably fly by because we have some much to do before the movers come on Monday. So much good has happened in this house I hate to say goodbye to it however I am SO excited for a fresh start and to find what other good things are next home will bring to us. I hope everyone had a good weekend, ours was fun and low key spending time with friends watching football and I went and had my hair colored a dark dark brown { almost black } I LOVE it! Here are some of the things across the internet I fell in love with over the weekend

This little blob of paint may look like nothing but it has been keeping me up at night! We are painting our new home right when we move in and I have been trying to find the right white { say that 10 times fast } I THINK I have settled on Dove White.

Can someone please invite me to this GORGEOUS fall gathering that I found over on my favorite blog Camille Styles, seriously guys if you haven't already checked her out do so because she always has the most beautiful things on her site.

Did you guys watching the Emmy's last night? It was a bit of a snooze fest but Kerry Washing made me sit up in my seat! I loved her gown and how simple she kept her hair makeup and jewelry!!

OK I am not a tech nut I did not get the new iphone5 and I probaly wont get it till my current one dies HOWEVER this new gadget from Bikn allows for your phone to find your keys when they are missing and your keys to find your phone when it is missing HELLOOOOO lifesaver!!! This will literally chop 20 minutes off my day..adding to my Christmas list!

Speaking of chopped this Autumn Chopped Salad looks AMAZING Ive been trying to eat healthy during the week so when Sat and Sun come around and Husband J brings in the wings I don't feel quite as guilty and while I was hunting for the recipe I found it connected to an adorable food blog check it out
