...

i can't believe that it's almost november! 

i have to say that i am sooo excited.

i am waiting so impatiently for the day after thanksgiving so that i can start listening to christmas music and watching christmas movies.

i won't even let mysef pin anything that relates to christmas yet! 

i am dying.

but anyways.

this weekend was our very last bit of warm weather.

i'm not so sure it's going to get above the 50's around here anymore.

so i definitely took the opportunity to wear my short sleeve shirt and sleeveless vest to enjoy the last little bit of warm sun on my arms. 

and check out the fall colors in these pictures.

i mean, i miss california and all- but nothing beats these colors.

they make my heart so, so happy. 

and seeing leaves in the streets just washes away all my troubles.

i love fall...

top: downeast basics

vest: h&m

leggings: h&m

shoes: jessica simpson via dillards

turban: monroe & harlow (check out all of her headbands and accessories here!)

necklace: heavenly couture 

bracelet: t.j. maxx

(this is what happens when you wear heels in a field filled with leaves!)

i love target...

i think that most people would agree when i say that target is pretty much the greatest store ever.

{lately their home decor has been killing me}

i have always thought that they had cute clothes but have never really tried anything on more than once or twice in my life.

but the other day i was in urgent need of a dressy outfit and target was the most accessible store for me to find something in a hurry.

i found myself with piles of clothing in my arms, which i had not expected.

and then i was in one of those horrible positions in the dressing room where i had to decide what wasn't absolutely necessary for me to buy.

but i decided on this skirt and top.

{and another skirt that i will be showing you soon}

and i am just absolutely in love and happy with my target shopping emergency.

top: mossimo via target

skirt: mossimo via target

belt: nine west via unknown 

bag: lionel via marshalls

shoes: enzo angiolini {thrifted}

necklace: heavenly couture

bracelets: {teal} via forever21/{pink} via aeropostale 

p.s.

my mom got these two suitcases plus another smaller one that matches, all for $1 at a thrift store.

such an adorable find.
