Pretty Pins for a Fall Mood

It's finally starting to feel like fall down here in South Florida! We had a brisk couple of mornings, which are my favorite. The fall-like weather has me doubling down on getting the condo back on track to a cozy vibe and I think I made big progress! I switched out an old carpet for a new one, cleaned off an entire wall and set aside some of the bigger things I need to take out of the condo before trash day. Think old garbage cans, a broken Keurig, ect. With Daylight savings also happening this weekend, the evenings just feel cozier and has me in a fully autumnal mood. Below are a few pins inspiring me as I attempt to bring fall into the home (even though everyone is already onto Christmas??)

Preparing for my adoptoversary photoshoot with Paloma! I've been playing around all week with different outfits and have a feeling it will be a game time decision.

Trying out Marianne Simon's blackberry crisp recipe that she shared on instagram earlier this week. I am a sucker for a fall desert like this and I prefer a crisp just because it's less effort than a pie and just as delicious. Even better - I have all of the ingredients already stocked in my pantry! 

Searching for a backup pilates studio! A year later and I still miss my old pilates studio. I loved the way we worked out and the results I had. I love the studio I'm currently at, but the workouts are not challenging enough for me. I'll still go because they. have worked wonders with my form and I love practicing pilates from a physical therapist perspective.

Rethinking the flowers for my patio! Having a container garden has been a learning curve for me. I realize that I need flowers that need minimal water because I don't have a hose and they must need partial sun. In a nice to have, they won't shed their flowers, petals and leaves just because they make a mess and Paloma loooooves getting into them! I'll report back on where I land. 

Making lunch plates for lunch this week! I was catching up with my good friend Cait and she was telling me how inspired she was by lunch plates and sent me some information. Needless to say, I can't wait to take a stab at this myself! It feels manageable, satisfying and delicious.

Pretty Pins for a Closet Overhaul

Can you tell I'm craving fall? I never thought I'd say it but I just really miss what I call cozy season. I miss stepping out of my old apartment for a walk in the crispy air, the different colors of the leaves, the warm fabrics, and the luxurious feeling of being snuggled up under a heavy blanket. I also deeply miss my winter wardrobe - the fur trimmed cashmere sweaters, the buttery leather, and the scratchy but familiar wool. I spent many years perfecting my winter wardrobe and I'm going to have to spend the same amount of years on my PB closet. Below are a few pins inspiring me as I take on this endeavor!
