From Starbucks with Love

Forgot to mention that when I went to Starbucks, I ordered a birthday cake pop and the girl at the register joked, "Is it your birthday?" And when I answered that it was she was like, "Really? I just ask people that as a joke!"

Then they gave me this:

Very cute!

Happy Birthday!

Today was my birthday! And my friends went out with me for dinner, then bought me a delish ice cream cake (red velvet and cake batter!) It was a pretty wonderful day despite my morning being a little on the crampy/melancholy side.

お誕生日おめでとう！

Rarity

Another outfit inspired by My Little Pony! (So embarrassing!) This time I made a set designed after my favorite character, Rarity:

I'm so ashamed to say that I'm absolutely addicted to this TV show... It's a total flashback to my childhood! I remember we even had a stallion! (It was my brother's favorite when he was like, 3...) 

Pinkie Pie

I'm so embarrassed about the inspiration for this but I thought if anything should be inspired by the show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, it should be fashion.

That said, this was inspired by actually my least favorite character, Pinkie Pie:

I tried to make the outfit colorful and playful without being clownlike, but...

Halloween Best

My dog just came back from a (desperately needed) trip to the groomer. I love when she comes back fluffy and doggy-dolled up!

Those little Halloween bows are my favorite! Too bad she hates them! 

When in Rome...

So my friends and I all went apple picking/pumpkin picking (kind of) on Sunday at an orchard near here. Unfortunately, Irene hit most of the farms up here pretty hard so most places aren't much to look at but in the end it was successful.

Besides the necessary cider doughnuts and apple cider, we used the apples to make apple cake (and muffins). We also tried this pizza monkey-bread recipe I found, which I'm sure Kunjal will put up eventually... but if not, feel free to ask and I'd be more than happy to send it to you!

In case you're not quite sure what monkey bread even is, this recipe was essentially little pizza balls thrown into a bunt pan. There are other, less savory, variations too.

While everyone was rolling up the monkey bread balls, I carved a pumpkin for our front yard:

Looking pretty fly, pumpkin man!

What does it mean?

I know this joke's been played out, but maybe the people in my town today saw the double rainbow?

It's faint but there are definitely two! I was very excited so on my ride home I stopped at a red light and took a quick snapshot on my phone!

Some fall inspired patterns

So if you haven't heard of Colourlovers yet, I suggest checking it out. The patterns are GREAT for iPhone backgrounds or to use on your blog... I'm completely addicted!

Study Date

An outfit (on polyvore) inspired by what I wore today.

Fall foliage!

The fall leaves are SLOWLY changing! These shots are from my backyard but the drive home really looked like fall! Even the weather is (kind of) getting colder...
