A few things that have caught me eye...and an OOTD!

Happy Thursday!  

We woke up to another rainy, overcast day here in the mid-west...I have nowhere to be until early afternoon so I'm kind of enjoying it as I'm cuddled up on the couch, still warm in my pj's.  I welcome a lazy morning here and there.  The giant pile of laundry that needs to be folded is calling my name but I refuse to acknowledge it for just a bit longer.  =)

A few days ago I finally pulled out my camera.  It's been sitting in my camera bag in my room since we moved this summer.  Bad.  I decided to try to set it up to take a self-timer picture of what I was wearing instead of using my iPhone like usual...my family room has tons of natural light so I tried that spot out first.

I seriously need a tripod.  You should have seen me setting this up on a stool, box and then a towel to get the height needed.  "Make it work" came to mind.  Thanks for the inspiration, Tim Gunn.  Oh, anyone else watching the Project Runway finale tonight?  Can't wait!  Random, sorry. =)

So I've been browsing online for the past day and a half to come up with outfits to wear for our family pictures next week...nothing like throwing this together at the last minute!  I've decided to go with a casual look for pictures...jeans, layered shirt blouse and cardi, riding boots...it just feels appropriate with the changing leaves and colder weather.  I had thought about wearing a dress for a bit, but just couldn't come up with anything I loved.  Hopefully it'll all come together.  As I've been browsing I've come upon some items I am loving and thought I'd share:



I ordered this scarf to wear in our family pictures...crossing my fingers it looks ok on me and doesn't take over my whole upper body.  I LOVE the color, along with the other 4 colors that are offered.  The price is right at just $22 also!



This is called a dress, but I would actually wear it as a tunic.  The petite version is just 32.25" long which would be perfect.  It would be even more perfect if the petite sizes showed up online...I'm assuming those are forthcoming.  Wish listed!



SO CUTE!  These come in tons of colors...I'm definitely jumping on this trend this fall/winter...love it! Give yourself plenty of time to order from this store as each item is made-to-order.  Shipping takes 3-4 weeks.  These are perfect stocking stuffers!



I have been on the lookout for some rose gold colored bracelets and these are perfect!  Super affordable too at just $16 for a set of 6.

And just for good measure, I'll share with you one of my many favorites from the new J Crew releases this morning...is this dress not perfection?  



Totally AMAZE.  Love it.  Gotta have it.  On sale, please. =)

What are you loving right now?  Any of these strike your fancy?

Alrighy, off to attack my tower of laundry.  Wish me luck.  Have a great day!

  3. Great picks Jenni! I am loving boot cuffs as well and am patiently waiting for my etsy order from a different seller. It's a great way to fill a boot for those of us who have the dreaded narrow calf! I saw the J. Crew dress this morning and am in love. But that price tag, ouch! Love your cozy outift!

    2. 3-4 weeks is a long time! I ordered these:

      I wanted to make sure that I didn't get them made from acrylic yarn because I want them to last longer than one season. This seller happened to offer a wool-yarn option, so I am thrilled. She did say that she has a lot of orders coming, though, so I'm not sure what the wait time will be...
