falling into fall friday's fancies...

I'm so ready for fall to be here - the leaves need to change color ASAP and I need some mini pumpkin pies in my life!  oh well, maybe next week. for now, I'm ready for this work day to be over and to be en route to Knoxville. Yeehaw. In honor of fall [and UT] here is my falling into fall friday's fancies... pop of color [orange!] and lots of camel and gold = fall to me. enjoy!

cozy fall friday's fancies

happy first day of fall! being a Florida girl, I was bred to adore summer and summer alone (after-all we didn't really have seasons in South Florida), but over the years my love for fall has grown... I'm actually excited for the weather to get crisp and the pumpkin goodies to come out in full force - and of course, college football! so with that in mind, here's a cozy fall friday's fancies for you - to me nothing says cozy like a sweater cardigan, so cuddly...

this fall is gearing up to be a great one - and the first weekend of fall 2011 is no exception - my love and I are venturing out to flip burger for dinner tonight and then enjoying a netflix night in. tomorrow, we're running a 10K in the morning and spending the day with Mike & Julie (brother and sister-in-law) and Sarah & Greggie (our adorable  niece and nephew), we're heading to a Chili-Cook-Off and then just spending the day with the fam. Sunday = domestic bliss (laundry, cooking, baking).

only a few hours standing between us and the weekend... let the countdown begin...

friday's fancies...

excited to be linking up with {av} again this week for Friday's Fancies, I was very excited when this week's theme was "rockin red" as I love me some red.  I took a more casual approach and daydreamed about what I would buy for this weekend if I had some extra money [which unfortunately, I don't...]. DJ and I are heading out on a double date with his brother Mike and his wife Julie tomorrow night so I put together a casual but [in my opinion] cute - date night outfit. I'm hoping to enjoy dinner/drinks on a patio to enjoy our good ole Georgia heat - what? I like it. so without further adieu, here are my fancies...

friday's fancies...

so excited to be linking up with {av} for my first friday's fancies... 

[because she's awesome and  I want to be like whitney] 

here's is my first creation... 

I'm sitting in my office daydreaming about a night out on the town with my husband... 

I'm a simple girl so a plain black maxi dress, silver accessories and a touch of pink...

oh yes -

and diamonds. 

lots of diamonds. 

did I mention diamonds?

clearly, I have a one track mind today... enjoy!

how'd I do for a first-timer?

I think I went a little overboard adding the $10 scarf, what do you think?


I know, I know, I promise next time I'll focus more on the actual fashion rather than the bling, maybe this is just a hint to my husband that our 19 month anniversary* just passed and that its tradition to buy your wife diamond earrings on that anniversary... bueller? anyone? well, it's on the internet now so it must be true.
you read it here first.... 
*no we don't celebrate "month" anniversaries, just when I want diamonds. ahem. today.
