Winter Must Haves

{Top 3 via Pinterest  and bottom 3 Nordstrom}

 First of all, HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I am so excited for this weekend. We are having a house warming party with all our friends over to see our new place!

As it gets colder outside, I can't help but get really excited. This is my first Pacific Northwest winter, and pulling out the jackets, scarves and boots I've had in the back of my closet pretty much all year when I lived back in Cali are finally seeing the light of day. Nordstrom's half yearly sale is calling my name, with that darling Juicy purse and the Juicy boots at an amazing price, but alas Christmas is coming and I don't have the extra money to spend. Maybe gift material?? ;) The Tory Burch iPhone cover would be an excellent upgrade to my current "I Do" Casemate I got when I first got engaged. It's been banged up a little. Dear Santa, I've been a good girl, can I have these few things? Oh and an iPad 2 would be nice too!!

What are you wishing for for Christmas? See any good deals out there?

Baby it's getting cold outside...

Brrrr!!! First signs of winter are making an appearance! The grass was icy and I could see my breath. And of course, it was cold enough to grab one of my big A&F jackets. Oh how I love those jackets. I've been wearing boots and scarves non stop since the beginning of October, and let me tell you it's been heavenly!!! I'm dying to go to Starbucks for some if their holiday drinks, and hit up the Old Navy 50% off outerwear sale! Because of course, Riley had NO cold weather clothes...and she's grown out of almost all her shoes. Man that kid grows fast! Where did the time go??!!

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely Thursday!! So glad the weekend is almost here and our housewarming party!!! Lots of cleaning and cooking to get done ;)

Hello November!!!

 {via Pinterest}

I am so excited that it's November!!! The past few months have gone by so fast, well actually this whole year has flown by since I got engaged just before New Years.

There are SO many things to look forward to around my new home. One in particular, Seattle Center Winterfest where they decorate all the trees with twinkle lights, and set up an ice skating rink. I've always dreamed of going to Rockafeller Center to ice skate, see the big tree all it up, and enjoy the falling snow while drinking hot cocoa. Well now I'm a little closer to that dream. It may not be New York, but Seattle is just as beautiful and has that same magical effect for me.

Another thing I'm looking forward to this season, is Zoolights at the Point Defiance Zoo. Riley loves to go to the zoo, and who doesn't love twinkle lights??? This would be the best of both worlds! I can not wait.

Washington has been so amazing so far, and I can't wait to explore more!! I also can't wait for snow! (I know I know, I say that now haha)

Happy November everyone!

Gearing up

For Halloween and the ongoing rain.

Fall and Pumpkin Patch

It feels like fall and I'm loving it!!! Sorry to all you back home in Cali suffering in 90 degree heat...I'm thankful it's rainy off and on and in the 60s here in beautiful Washington! Looking forward to baking some fall goodies!

On another note, Riley and I met up with our cousins at the pumpkin patch and took pictures next to giant spiders, in a pumpkin house, eating Halloween treats, and of course doing a pumpkin toss! Can't wait to go back and pick out our pumpkins with the hubby!

Wedding pics!!!

Here's some photos from my beautiful wedding!

We made it!!!!

So I know I've been MIA...but we had the most INCREDIBLE wedding, went on an AMAZING honeymoon cruise to Mexico, then arrived in Washington! The first week was mostly unpacking and organizing, finding Childcare, job interviews, and yesterday a Zombie Festerval in Tacoma. A pretty crazy few weeks for sure! I'll post up more pics from the wedding and honeymoon this week.
