I LOVE October.
I am so happy it's here! I try to cherish every bit of this month, it truly is my favorite. There are SO MANY things to LOVE! {of course having a birthday during this month doesn't hurt either} Being an autumn girl at heart, I have to say my #1 favorite thing about October is the change of season--the leaves--and the crisp air outside. Oh, i miss that dearly! CA has had some crisp air lately, which has been amazing! October kick starts the "holiday season", it's Hot Cocoa time {you may drink it year round like I do, but it's much more enjoyable when its cold out}, sweaters & boots, fall recipes like butternut squash soup (omg! yum!), etc! etc! etc!.
glitter pumpkins...
gourmet hot cocoa..
oversized sweaters...
I am one happy chick during this month! ah! I used to say to Jeni (not sure if she remembers this) "we aren't allowed to have anything bad this month! only good things happen in October". haha, I am a total dork--but I'm just an autumn baby.To kick start my October, I enjoyed some fashion @ Phoenix Fashion Week.
I was asked by one of their emerging designers to design headbands for her runway show {pictures coming later}. Although it's not a huge fashion event, I thought it would be a great experience. And as luck would have it, I sold enough MEC at the trunk show to pay for the entire trip! I loved getting dressed up & going to the runway shows! The first night I had just flown in & was not able to attend, but to my surprise my balcony over looked the runway so I was able to enjoy room service & watch the shows! The second night I attended the event. I took a million pictures, here are just a few:
I was also able to enjoy dinner with these fine ladies:
Lindsay's boyfriend called us "the first wives club" because all of us are married but her, it was pretty funny. We laughed a lot, I sure am going to miss them when I move to OC.

I'm with you! I love fall. Give me some caramel apple cider, and my boots/scarves/sweaters, and I am good to go!
