We are thankful for ...

Food! 
He is starting to overcome a temporary oral aversion scare we had for a couple of weeks -and is          back to enjoying a couple spoonfuls of sweet peas, apples, or sweet potatoes!That being said he is also able to munch down a few 1/2 cheerios, and has been loving teething biscuits!
Chubby legs-
He is gearing up to crawl! 
He has been pushing off and rocking back and forth when trying to reach for his favorite toys!
Immune Systems
 He got a cold and it was no big deal! THIS IS HUGE for him!
Fish

He got an early Christmas present(four actually : Stalone, Fischer, Godfather, and little puppet)

Mommy Update- I got a new haircut! I went even shorter with a slight A-line long bob! AND I refuse to call it mom hair - denial? Maybe! I am loving it tho! Aaron isn't too sure in this picture haha!

PS excuse this post's horrible picture quality - I asked for a new camera for Christmas ;)!

Hope you all have an Amazing day with your loved ones! THANK YOU for reading!

Fall Staples

Hi guys! Sorry I have been neglecting the blog a bit! Life has been hectic lately with too many Dr. appointments and a new quarter began for me in school! But now that my first big assignment is out of the way, and Aaron is napping, I have some time to blog!

Anyways, it has just started to cool down in sunny California! Barely - but STILL! On the very first cloudy and rainy day we had, I predictably reached for my MAC Rebel lipstick. This got me thinking about the fact that every fall I reach for some staple beauty and fashion items, and I thought I would share :)

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark 

I have purchased about 3 bottles of this cult favorite nail polish over the last 7 years. Yes, 7 years - I feel old. Anyways this gorgeous almost black, purple creme polish works for any occasion, any skin tone, and looks great with the dark lips trend this fall season!

MAC Rebel & NARS Ingrid

   

These have not been a staple as long as some of the other products I am mentioning, because I just got the courage to rock dark lips last fall. BUT once I did, I could not get enough of MAC's berry colored lipstick in Rebel. This year NARS released the Audacious Lipstick line, and Ingrid is becoming a fast favorite! Although they look similar in the tube and both have a satin finish, Ingrid is more of a burgundy color and slightly darker. I like that both of these can be sheared out, or built up!

Fashion Staples 

In the fall I tend to live in a variation of any of the following pieces:

Black Leggings - I try to invest in a few nice thick pair of leggings (maybe stuck from my college days). They are oh so comfortable and can be dressed up or down!

PLAID & STRIPES - Plaid is a no brainer for the fall season, it just screams fall to me. Cliche'? Maybe! And stripes, I just love stripes, especially in a comfy loose fitting t shirt, with dark jeans, camel colored boots, a cardigan, and  red lipstick!

Boots - I have boots in just about every color, but my ultimate favorite boot color is camel. This year I picked up some camel colored  booties like the ones pictured above at Target for a very reasonable price and I can not wait to wear them!

Scarves - are my thang! I love them. I feel like they make the outfit. My favorite type of scarf  for the last couple of years has been infinity style scarves. We will see how I manage to wear scarves now that I have a little guy tugging and pulling at me!

&

Starbuck's - There is something about that Red cup that gets me every year. It just screams fall, cozy, warm, holidays! My favorite fall/holiday drink is the Skinny Peppermint Mocha Latte, and although they have the Soy Chai Latte all year long, I really only order it during the fall season. 

Thanks again for reading! & Let me know what your fall staples are - I would love to try some new things!
