September Favorite Things
1. Baggies, Patagonia - If I am not wearing biker shorts, I am wearing these. So comfy, tons of color options, and even if you aren’t a mountain climber (like me) you can fool everybody and wear these! Folks will be like damn, that girl is adventurous as fuck and likes to go rafting and do nature shit.
2. Essie nail polish, Espresso Double Shot- Need a new nail color for fall? This is my favorite color at the moment! And it comes in their quick dry formula, which is perfect for me. I dunno about you but I can’t sit still long enough for my nails to dry with regular nail polish. It never fails, I paint my nails and I think they are dry then…they aren’t and I knick them. I end up looking like Stevie Wonder painted my nails. Thank god for this nail polish though because it is dry in MAX 5 min :)
3. Chef’n Corn Stripper, Williams Sonoma- I love corn and I love a good kitchen gadget. Fresh corn has become a staple in my weekly menu. It is sweet and crunchy and goes perfect with butter. Which as you can tell…I LOVE butter. This corn stripper is the bomb.com. I usually use a serrated knife to remove the kernels but this makes it SO much easier, it takes a few seconds to remove them compared to a few minutes.
4. So Fresh Tunic, Free People- This dress is so freaking cute. I HATE my ugly chubby arms so I always try to buy things that cover them up. I do like my legs though, so the shorter the dress the better. This dress is flowy, cute as hell with thigh high boots and perfect for fall. Its light texture makes you feel like you aren’t wearing anything, which is the goal right?
5. Fountain Grass, Lowes- I did a garden talk on my instagram recently about how this is my favorite plant in my back yard. I couldn’t remember what it was called but I finally figure it out. It is a lot like Pampas Grass but prettier. Its flower looks and feels like a soft animal tail. Its super wispy and you can cut them for centerpieces as well.
6. HUM Daily Cleanse, Sephora- As I have gotten older I have noticed I am more exhausted than I used to be, even after a good nights sleep. I have started to take vitamins (probably should have started before this year) and I am loving them. Also, my bowel movements are few and far between, these pills have been a GAME CHANGER. I am super regular now. If you would have told me 5 years ago I would be writing a blog talking about bowel movements, I would have told you you are lying. Well, here I am….
7. Salted Caramel Brownies, Butter Than The Rest- Yum, Yum, Yum. Wow. Think brownies from another planet. The caramel and sea salt are a perfect combo with the chewy and gooey brownie. Make them today and drift off into a chocolate coma.
8. Warm and Fuzzy Laptop Case, Packed Party- I obviously have an obsession with this new pattern they have released for fall. It has been posted multiple times already on my instagram. It is so freaking cute! I have already gotten tons of compliments. This company is a women owned, Austin, TX based company that makes the most adorable, yet functional products. I have been following them from their start and have to say anything I have ever ordered is amazing quaility and super unique! They also have this pattern in a tote, journal, duffle, cup and small pouch. Buy yours today and start your fall fashion out the right way!
9. Silver Bark Throw, Pendleton- I bought this blanket in Jackson Hole, WY last year and we freaking love it! It’s so warm, looks perfect on the end of a bed, in a basket or wrapped around you sitting out by a fire. The pattern is beautiful yet subtle. The company has TONS of perfect throws with all kinds of colors and sizes, to fit all of your aesthetic needs.
10. Tailgater Smoker, Traeger- I have gotten really into smoking meat lately. The Traeger Tailgater is perfect for our home because it is small yet mighty. I have made brisket, pulled pork and ribs and they have all turned out finger licking good. The legs also fold up and you can put it on the back of your tail gate, hints the name. Football games tailgating and camping are this smokers dream!
11. Vintage Amber Glasses, Vintage Finds Found- My aunt Joanie actually owns this Etsy shop! She has the coolest vintage stuff and for a really good price. I believe these amber glasses were super popular back int he 70s and she has a ton of them in different shapes and sizes. You will get your glasses with a cute note as well when it is sent to you, the personal touch is my favorite part!
