Well, silly me. I just realized it's October which is Vegan Month of Food.... better late than never?
What's Vegan MOFO?? You basically write as much as possible about veganism and/or vegan food- recipes, stories, favorite products, etc. From the website:
The idea is to write as much as you can all month, about vegan food. The blog entries can be about anything food related – your love of tongs, your top secret tofu pressing techniques, the first time your mom cooked vegan for you, vegan options in Timbuktu – you get the idea, right?
Check here for previous Vegan MOFO entries including an AWESOME little series from Rikki Cupcake of Seitanic Vegan Heathen.
Now, I'm not vegan (though I try to eat vegan fairly often) but it is something that is important to me and I try to do my best to limit items like cheese and dairy. I do eat eggs somewhat often (thank you chickens!). I don't drink milk and I rarely indulge in things like yogurt, sour cream, etc. We use a lot of vegan substitutes in our house like Vegenaise and Earth Balance vegan butter. I just love examining and making vegan meals because of the simplicity of it all. Of course there is vegan junk food and highly processed vegan options, but the vegan meals that really get me goin are the simple, fresh ones that use just a few ingredients. Here are some vegan recipes I been collecting on Pinterest. I can't wait to try them.
Spinach Pancakes- Whaaaattt??
Cocoa Roasted Cauliflower with Grape Farro- sounds weird and strangely yummy. I've seen a lot on Pinterest lately about roasted grapes. I have to try this.
Jack-o-pumpkin Breakfast Sandwich- OMG.
Vegan Nachos with Cashew Cheese- I can't wait to try to make my own cashew cheese. I'm kinda obsessed with the thought of it but keep forgetting to try.
Raw Lasagna- This is a perfect example of simple food that lets the vegetables/ingredients shine.
If you do Vegan MOFO let me know! I'd love to check it out. I'm thinking about doing a post on my journey to vegetarianism. We will see how that turns out.

Weekend Plans
This weekend I'll be heading to Apache Lake for the Apache Lake music festival. I'm pretty excited for it- hanging by the lake, amazing weather, incredible friends, good tunes... It's gonna be wonderful. Sunghost (Trev's band) and a ton of other friend's bands will be playing throughout the next few days. I won't be able to make it until Saturday- which means I will miss the first two days of the festival. BOO. If you are planning on going give me a holler so we can dance together. All night long. Forever.
What do you have planned for the weekend? Have a super time and be safe <3

Fashion || Etsy Fall Wants
I get sooo stinking excited for fall. I love love love waking up to a dark house and cuddling under the covers (even though it's soooo hard to wake up), pumpkin flavored things EVERYWHERE, drinking tea under an afghan, plants greening up (that's what happens here in the desert), and most of all, fall fashion.
Here are some things that I'm really into for fall and winter.



Long Sleeved Mini Dresses (If I had to choose one dress to describe me I might choose this one)

Patterned Tights (especially swiss dots and hearts : )

What special pieces are you looking for to jazz up your wardrobe this season?

Biker Jackets (I'm dying for one!)

Fur Coats (think Penny Lane/Almost Famous)

High Heeled Ankle Boots (cause heels make my kankles less visible)

10 Best Fally Things for You and Your Home
I love Fall and, to be honest, its really irritating that while everyone is enjoying cool temperatures, sweaters and cuddling up with someone special we are dealing with temperatures in the 90s. Can you believe it? For those of you who are soaking up the loveliness of Fall, here are my 10 favorite things for you and your home. And guess what? They were all found on Etsy (except one) so you can snatch em up. (P.S. Send me some pictures of leaves and things so I can pretend!).
Berets
I reeeeally wanna be good at wearing hats. My friend Jasmine is the best at wearing hats. Maybe if I practice... : )
Vintage Collars
Fancy Lucky Vintage
I looove collars. (Remember my post about Peter Pan collars?) I got a lovely vintage crocheted collar on my summer vacation- I can't wait to wear it!
Yummy Smelling Candles
Greenbriar
It doesn't feel like fall without a yummy spicy candle burning.
Tea
The Loose Leaf
I am soooo glad I found this shop! I wanna try everything in it! I have been trying to get off caffeine and have really taking a liking to tea- I wanna be one of those wine folks who knows all the tastes and flavors... but with tea.
Saddle Shoes
Anna's Attic
I just got some pretty little saddle shoes over the summer. But check out these blue ones- adorable! (FYI- there are tons of good ones in 7-7.5 on Etsy. If you wear that size you should check it out!)
Knee Socks
Xenia Home
Sooo lovely.
Afghans
Bird in Hand
There's nothing like curling up in a cozy afghan with a cup of tea and reading a book.
Ponchos
Apricot Baby Baby
Ponchos are perfect for fall-y months cause they are cozy and keep you warm but not too warm. If I had an extra $50 you better believe I'd snatch this little one up! I'm so in love!
Yarn
Sosae Caetano
Wouldn't you love to receive something handmade with this pretty hand spun yarn?

It's October 1st!!
I seriously can't believe it's October 1st. At the risk of sounding old, I must say that time is just flying by lately.
Now that it's officially October I'm throwing caution to the wind and starting an all out Fall celebration (if you're a new reader you must know that I live in Phoenix where it has been record high temperatures. Makes it hard to do Fall-y things). That's right! I'm breaking out the boots and warm coffee drinks. I don't care if we've still got triple digit temps still!
Here's some cute fall fashions I've collected that inspire me.

(I've collected all these over the years so if you know where they came from. Please let me know if you know the source so I can give proper credit.)
I hope you all have a lovely first day of October.
XO

Fashion Show Prep
I spent the day helping my friend Jasmine of Butter Toast Boutique styling for a fashion show that's happening next Saturday at the Grand Avenue Festival. It sounds like it's gonna be an amazing event and, while I don't wanna toot my own horn, we've got some super cute looks going down the runway. If you're local, you should definitely stop by and say hello and support your local businesses and designers.
P.S. Thank you all so much for telling me about the things you are thankful for. I wrote back to all your lovely comments so check it out. It's so fun getting to know you better!

Busy Days and Beautiful Things
I hope you all are having a super great day! Today has been rather busy. I got a new assignment at work that I am pretty excited about and today is my last night at Anthropologie. Sad but true. Even though I am seriously going to miss all of the beautiful things and my amazing coworkers I know that there are good things to come!
Here are some pretty fall things from Anthropologie :)






Find them all here.
P.S. Don't forget about craft night on Thursday at 908 N. 6th Street from 5-8pm- it'll be a blast I promise!

Where you'll never have to worry about grown up things again...
I seriously am having a hard time grasping that stores are beginning to get Autumn merchandise. Maybe it's because I am no longer in school (read: no back to school shopping) or because I live in sunny Phoenix and the thought of the a day that fails to reach triple digits seems laughable. Anyways, I am dying for peter pan collars for the fall season!

Oh and P.S. Tomorrow I'll be posting a giveaway!! Yippee!
