shop the season: marsala
its mid-to-late september and we had one bout of cool weather, so that means its fall right? i chose to pretend it wasn't 85 degrees outside today and have decorated for fall, bought everything pumpkin-flavored i could find (PSA: pumpkin spice latte m&m's... not so good), and have started the closet transition from summer to fall. my favorite color for the fall? pantone's color of the year: marsala. i love this deep, rustic red wine color that makes a statement on its own or as an accent. sophisticated, earthy and rich, its just right for fall fashion. and what better time of the year to wear it than right now, when it complements the season's changing colors so well? so, shop the season in marsala with me and my round up of favorites below!

life lately - september edition
well, its been a while. y'all probably thought i was done with the blog scene, but no - just still transitioning to the real world and real job life. so where have i been the past month? here's a quick rewind...
i bought a car. i said goodbye to lady liberty and hello nissan rogue! i absolutely love my new car and may or may not be OCD about keeping it clean (like i am about everything). it was yet another big girl purchase, and one that was necessary. i no longer have to worry about getting from A to B!
i finally got to see my best friend after two and a half months too long without seeing each other. kaitlin came to franklin for the tim mcgraw concert and we made it a girls weekend that was much needed! between friday night and saturday, we saw alpha chi alum sisters, brunched in downtown franklin, sipped and shopped, visited city winery before the concert then sang our hearts out with mr. tim. it was such a fun weekend, and we are already counting the days til i visit her in atlanta later this month.
work has been very busy lately, with college football kicking off! its our peak season as everyone is ordering their tailgate gear, so the logo team has been working hard and still is. the way everyone comes together to help out and do jobs outside their normal tasks is amazing, i have never seen a group of coworkers truly work as a team to get the job done. everyday i am so happy to be part of that team.
i went to a bridal shower of a good friend that i can't wait to see get married in just less than a month! it was so great to get to catch up with my roommates from last summer. i am excited for the wedding, as phillip is best man and the couple is so fun, ensuring it will be a party!
i have met friends for dinner both here in franklin and in murfreesboro, had dinner parties with family friends and spent a few weekends at home. i am so glad that one of my best friends lives in murfreesboro and hope we can keep up our monthly dinner dates!
no matter how near or far from murfreesboro i am, its always nice to spend some time at home. we have celebrated many birthdays, eaten a lot of good food and cake, and spent lots of time together. if labor day marks the end of summer (which in the south, its still going to be hot through the month), my summer has been nothing short of perfect. i've tried some new things, tried to break out of my comfort zone and i really believe i am right where i should be.
so, its been a busy month. i still don't know how my parents had to energy to cook, do PTA, take us to practices, make sure we did our homework, etc. etc. after working all day. i am always so exhausted after my workday that the blog has unfortunately been what had to be put on the back burner. with that being said however, i am hoping to post more regularly. fall clothes are fabulous this year, and i am really itching to make some new dishes with healthy spins!
be on the lookout for the claire with red hair... she's coming back!
