5 Things I'm Loving for Fall

As much of a summer girl as I am, I have been so ready for fall! This pregnant lady can't hang with the intense heat here in South Carolina, so I am very thankful for weather in the mid-80s! I also am excited for cozy days of cooking + baking in the kitchen, fall clothes, and the upcoming holidays. Here are 5 things I'm loving for fall:

Essie nail polish in hues for fall. I love swapping out my hot pinks

and corals for these perfectly autumnal shades.

(clockwise from top: Ladylike, Mink Muffs, Recessionista, Chinchilly, In Stitches)

The Jones Market fall collection. So many good pieces! 

I had a hard time picking just one to order!

Fall candles from Twine & Cotton. I can't get enough of how perfect this scent is!

Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien. I pulled this from my stash because I wanted

something darker than my typical pinks without entering into the bold-red-lip territory.

You can see how this shade looks on me here.

 All the pumpkin baked goods. I can't be tempted by a PSL, but pumpkin

breads and muffins are another story. I'll be sharing the recipe for this pumpkin cake

with pumpkin cinnamon cream cheese frosting next week, so stay tuned!

There you have it, 5 random things I'm loving this season. What are some of your favorites for fall?

Favorite Shops for Necklaces

one // two // three // four // five // six 

Where do you like to shop for necklaces? I love supporting independent shop owners, and I've also found that their pieces are often more beautiful and unique than what you can get elsewhere. Here are three of my favorite shops for necklaces:

Dear Mushka // for simple gold or silver pieces. For each piece Katie makes, she includes a Scripture verse that corresponds with the jewelry. I love this idea, and I already have my eye on the next necklace I want (hello not-so-subtle Valentine's day hint for Caleb).

The Jones Market // for everyday necklaces. I loved and wore these necklaces before I had a baby, because they are just so pretty. Now that I have Madeleine, I love wearing them even more, because they're nontoxic and tuggable. Madeleine loves pulling on it and chewing on the beads (#alwaysteething), and I love that I can still feel pretty and put together even on a casual day at home.

Lily Noelle // for bright and bold pieces. Heidi is a dear friend of mine, and she has got some crazy talent when it comes to decorating, making jewelry, and just being fabulous in general. I love the wooden bead necklaces for brightening up a simple outfit. Also about 75% of all of my earrings are Lily Noelle, so there's that too.

If there's a shop you love for pretty necklaces (and other jewelry!), please share! I love discovering new shops to support.
