All About Autumn Tag \\ I'm back... maybe

Hey people of the blogger world! It's been a while. A long while. But I suppose I'm back, for now. We'll see how it goes.

How was your summer? As you may remember, I went on a vacation for a wedding (which I photographed- my third wedding), and visited some dear family. Since then we've had some company at our house a couple of times, I've been working, and just going through life. I started something recently that I'll probably do a little post on soon. :)

Fall begins in just two days! Though it's still been quite hot around here, tonight the air is COOL outside. That means fall IS actually coming. *smiles* 

Speaking of such, DAMINIKA tagged me for the All About Autumn tag! So lets get into that!



\\ What are your plans for this fall?

Vacation to the West Coast! My cousin is getting married, and I have the honor of being photographer. It'll be wonderful to go see family and friends. <3
I also plan to fully enjoy the pleasures of fall fashion. MY. FAVE.
Thanksgiving. <3

\\ Which two things tell you that the autumn season has begun?

When the weather cools, and when the colors start changing. *shrugs* That's obvious, I know.

\\ What are three things you love about the season?

fall weather. boots. the colors. jackets. (i know, that was four)

\\ What is your best memory from fall?

I don't know. I guess it's the little things. And some of the Thanksgivings of days gone by. Family is special. :)

\\ What is your favorite scent from autumn?

Hot spiced apple cider, maybe?

\\ What is your favorite autumn color?

I don't know, they're all nice! For wearing, I'd probably say red

\\ What is your favorite fall inspired drink?

Spiced hot apple cider

\\ What is your favorite food from autumn?

Apple stuff and pumpkin stuff  xP

\\ Which place would you love to visit in the fall?

Um, probably just anywhere with people I care about. I'm happy to be visiting the West this fall. ^__^ But if I went somewhere for the colors I'd probably go to New Hampshire because I have family there. 



I TAG: Anyone who wishes to do it

November 2018

Hi. I've arrived. I know I'm late, but better late than never. ;P 

Before we get too far into the Christmas season, here's what the month of November looked like for me, through pictures!

We went to a fun hog roast! The food was amazing, there was music, fires, and people. *happy sigh* It had a great feel. And I started dreaming about finding a country boy while standing in line for supper. *cough* xP

I voted for the very first time! ;) Also, my current read. ^^

Did you know they have these at Walmart?? I should try one sometime. ;P

All my sisters (except the youngest) and I stayed at our aunt and uncle's house for the weekend while they were gone. We took care of their animals and watched movies and ate food. xD Their place is so beautiful.

Got an ice storm, which coated just about everything, even the power lines. :P Sooo pretty. I posted a few of the pictures I got here.

*healthy vs. unhealthy* 

{what do you do when you like both? xP}

Thanksgiving dinner with the homeschool group.

Day before Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! <3

Had it at the aunt and uncle's, and it was a good day. We had two sets of aunt and uncle's + cousins there, my grandparents, and some friends.  

Good old traditional food, eaten out on the side porch. ;) We took our traditional walk down the road before having pie. {I did take pics of my pie, but they're on my mom's phone ;P}
Also, there was hot apple cider, which was so good!

I actually embraced Christmas season in NOVEMBER. After Thanksgiving, of course, but still. I was early this year. I also only have a little more Christmas shopping to do (like, rn)!! *gasping face* That's so not me.

Making lip balm... Shopping with my little sister. 

I got a table at a local Christmas Bazaar for free through our homeschool group. I'm still 18, so I guess I qualified. ;) A couple of my sisters and I went there and sold soaps and stuff the two days it was going on. I bought this delicious S'mores cupcake. ^^

HOW WAS YOUR THANKSGIVING? HAVE YOU PLUNGED FULL ON INTO CHRISTMAS SEASON YET?

FAVORITE PICTURE?

Casual Cold-Weather Outfits Compilation

Hello, people!

How is your weekend going?? Did you get any ice or snow? We got ice-covered trees and grass and power lines and... you get the picture, right? But it all melted yesterday, and today was more fall and less winter. *winks*

Speaking of cold weather, that is what this post involves: casual outfits I put together for the fall-time {or winter, depending}. It's a lot of pictures of ME today, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Lol. xP

Distressed dark jeans: Garage sale find for 75 cents, I believe. And I love them. They do need to be stitched {where I accidentally ripped them more, oops} but I love the style\rise\fit of these jeans on me. Garage sales roooccckk. hehe.

Tan boots

Gray sweatshirt: Garage sale find for $1. It's soft and in nice condition, and Psalm 56:3 is on the back in pretty letters. It says "trust" on the front. *hearts* 

Knit Beanie Hat: I bought this from Walmart- it was around $6 or so. So cute and the pom-pom is so soft and furry! It's like my little pet... *laughs* Ok, I'm weird.

{these pics ^^ were taken at my aunt and uncle's place while we were house-sitting for them} 

Distressed light jeans: Garage sale find... maybe around $2 or so? I haven't worn these much yet, but they're comfy and e stretchy, with a waist rise that I like. I also like the rips. ;P I know the ripped jean fashion is really... kind of odd and impractical when you think about it? But I like how they look, so. *shrugs* It adds detail to your outfit.

Knit sweater top: Garage sale find as well, for idk, maybe $1-something. So because of this sweater, this outfit would probably look better on a girl with longer legs... but it still works. ;)

Blue scarf

"Jellypop" sneakers: Garage sale find, $1! Not exactly sure what to call these, but I found similar ones called "Jellypop Dallas Sneakers". In any case, they're super comfortable and easy to put on- you don't even have to tie the laces!

Black t-shirt

Red scarf: Garage sale find, probably $1

Distressed dark jeans

Black fur-trim boots

I really like this one! I'm really liking these colors nowadays; black and grays, as well as darker, deeper colors like red and navy blue. I guess maybe I'm starting to actually figure out the colors that are good on me. ;)

Striped t-shirt

Light blue button-up shirt: From our own garage sale we did with my aunts... probably $1

Light Jeans

"Jellypop" sneakers

Coral knit sweater: Goodwill, probably $4 or so

Striped t-shirt

Distressed dark Jeans

Tan boots

"Dream Big" t-shirt

Plaid button-up shirt

Distressed dark jeans

Brown lace-up boots: Goodwill? $5 or so

WHICH OUTFIT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU'D WEAR?

 FAVORITE PIECE FOR A CASUAL FALL OUTFIT?

She Who Fears the Lord \\ PHOTO SHOOT

Hey guys, happy Tuesday! What's been up in your life lately? Yesterday I read something that kind of surprised me: that it was 10 days until Thanksgiving! I don't think I realized how fast it was coming up. But yeaaasss! *hearts* Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday, and I'm looking forward to it... Turkey and pumpkin pie, all while gathered with dear family at my aunt and uncle's. <333

Today I'm sharing some pictures from a photo shoot I did with my sister the other day. It was kind of a Bible study\fall themed shoot, and I think I turned up with some nice pictures. :)

Without further ado, my gorgeous sister!

WHICH PICTURE IS YOUR FAVORITE?? EXCITED FOR THANKSGIVING?
