The Small Things Make All The Difference

Good mornin' my fall friends & family!  Wow, it has been a fantastic week.  I seem to finally be in the right time zone & no longer suffering from 6 hour jet lag.  It has sure been a long 2 weeks getting over that, but it is finished :).

Every time I return home I am quickly reminded of how much I enjoy the small things in life... a smile from my niece, a Chai Latte with a shot of espresso, the warmth of a hug from my parents, the cool fresh air [& of course boots]... It's the little things that make up the big picture, don't ya think?  Here are some small, but good memories, from the week so far.

Sugar on top, drizzled with Sweetened Condensed Milk... Tastier than all get out!]

my beautiful new Steve Madden boots!!! I couldn't be more stoked about them ;) ]

Now if I do say this makes for a pretty good week entering into fall.  Wouldn't you agree?
Proverbs 13:7 reads a pretty great verse about living simply... Here it is in The Message:

A pretentious, showy life is an empty life;
   a plain and simple life is a full life. 

Have a beautiful day & remember to appreciate the small things & to count your blessings :)

Love... 

Comfy.Cozy.Cute.

Beautiful friends!   It is so good to return to you & enjoy your company. Yes yes, it is my fault that I wasn't around.  A whole week without visiting, it was quite strange.  Part of me apologizes, and the other part just can't because of what a good week I had.  ALL of the students were able to graduate, we had a fun party celebrating the past 6 months of their lives, reminiscing about the memories & creating new ones in the process.  As I look back over this season, I am truly truly blessed & overwhelmed at the goodness of the Lord.  He is faithful all the time and I just love who He is and what He does.  You should get to know Him :).

I will hop right into this fantastic new week with these lovely outfits.  Last week my mom wrote me and told me that I would just love being home because it was 60 degrees and it was perfect for my leggings & scarves & boots outfits.  I have to admit, everything in me wanted to go and be home for that day.  Hawaii is lovely!  But a break from the heat would be fun.

So anyways I got in the mood to look at some comfy, cozy, & cute outfits which I cannot wait to try out when I visit home for the winter.   I hope you enjoy & are inspired!

 

   

   

   

     

 

   

   

So there you have it!  Aren't you so ready for fall now?  I am.  Make sure to check back tomorrow because I am excited about what this week holds for us.  Have a beautiful rest of your Monday!

Brilliantly Bold: Urban Outfitters

Good day my lovely Wednesday readers!  How is your week going so far?  Fantastic I hope!!  Since I have returned to Hawaii, it has rained quite a bit, which I should have expected.  Usually I wouldn't love it so much, but this time around I have!  I think it's preparing my spirits to go home eventually and curl up in warm clothes with a big comforter & watch movies & drink hot tea.  Sounds lovely doesn't it!?

Something else that I love to do in rainy or cold weather, is look at all the new fashion thats coming around.  As I shared All Things Anthropologie with you yesterday, I thought I would share another one of my favorites with you: Urban Outfitters.  Not only have I found that Urban Outfitters never disappoints, but it always seems to go the extra mile in pulling out the boldness in you to rock new styles!  Here are some of my favorites this time around.

While you're on a roll, make sure to check out their new Fall Catalog!  Have a wonderful day :)
Love...
