Fall Wardrobe Inspiration

I have been dreaming of fall for a couple weeks now 
and us here in the PNW {Pacific Northwest} 
are having some very cool, 
fall like weather right now in the mornings then it gets hot in the afternoon. 
So it is making me want it even more badly now, 
so I thought I'd do a post of some of my Pinterest pins that I am going to be using for inspiration to put together an very warm, cozy, and comfy wardrobe with some very cute accessories 
and brown knee high boots {I have a bit of an obsession with them right now!} 
to just pull it all together.

{The things I write under the pictures are things I already have...}
SOURCE all from pinterest
gray sweater, orange scarf, jeans, glasses, black vest, earrings, black boots 

jeans, glasses

jean jacket

everything! I made this outfit for inspiration last year and then bought what I needed

jeans, bag, scarf, earrings

jeans, flats, necklace

shirt, jeans

sweatshirt, jeans, bag, tank, earrings

jeans, sweater, sunglasses

jeans, earrings, bag

tank, jeans, boots

jeans, shirt, sunglasses, bag

And hopefully in my new diet that I am going to be starting works the way it is supposed to...
I will then be looking CUTE in these clothes and not just wearing them.
My dream {& goal} is to finally look cute in clothes again someday in the near future.

So many animals everywhere!

Last week my mom and I decided that we would take Zane to the zoo one afternoon. Our weather has been in the low 80s {since we got our summer a few weeks ago} and it is perfect weather to go hang out at the zoo for a couple hours. This was the first time he really noticed the animals and he loved it so much!

He also had a fun time running around with his grammy the whole day. We saw a bunch of great animals but didn't get many pictures because our zoo is so small and there are always SO many people there that it's really hard to get up to the front to even take pictures. I am going to be taking him a ton once school starts so that I can get in there and take some really good pictures of the animals and him. But we had a great time anyways. Here are a few of the pictures that we got while there.

Dreaming...

of fall! 


I want to wear sweaters & boots.
I want to turn 29. 
I want to drink hot coffee, cocoa or tea.
I want to snuggle up by the fire with James & Zane and watch football.
I want to go to the pumpkin patch.
I want to take Zane out trick-or-treating.
I want to watch the leaves change colors & fall to the ground.
I want to go to Oregon State University football games.
I want to play in the leaves with Zane.

Funny Face

Zane makes a ton of funny faces 
but he has one signature one.
It's a face I used to make when I was little...
and every time I see him do it, 
I just have to laugh.
It's his squinchy nose. {as we call it}


I absolutely love this face he makes. 
He knows he's doing it 
and he thinks he's hilarious.
He's got an amazing sense of humor for being so young.
This is definitely part of it. 
He loves to make people laugh. 
So face making is his number one way of doing that.

It's definitely the simple things that make me smile.
And this is definitely a simple thing.
He's got it down for sure.
I sure do love this boy to death.

A day of fun

The other day I took Zane to Pump It Up JR. for the first time, 
and he had an absolute blast! 
He ran around screaming and yelling when he was in the different bouncy houses. 
He couldn't climb up by himself so I went with him so I got a great workout. 
I had a great time running around with him, too. 
This place is awesome and we will definitely be going back soon. 
Oh and I will be booking his second birthday party there for sure in May next year!




Later that day we met grammy & poppa at Shute Park for 
the concert in the park that poppa was playing in. 
Grammy & Zane went and played on the play structure as we waited for it to be set up.
But as soon as the music started Zane was up dancing to the music and loving it.
We did have to leave before it was over since little man was getting sleepy.







But when we got home we took a bath and had lots of fun playing 
and splashing in the water. 
Then it was off to bed after our very busy day!
