Ready For Fall!

Today is my first love's Birthday.
My Daddy!

There is NO denying that I am a daddy's girl.
Do you think we look alike?
I honestly think I favor him the most, and I would be proud to be like him in spirit too.
He is the salt of the Earth and as honest as they come.
He is also the guy that says no to "boys night" or camping trips with the guys, because he'd rather spend time with us. We always come first.

My husband calls him John.
Daddy's name is Marcus.
Daddy calls Will, Army.
I still don't understand it, but I love that they are best buddies.

I am loved...

I am their princess, and I am proud of it!
If only I could squeeze them both RIGHT now.

Okay, let's move on before I get too emotional...

Let's Fall Into Fashion!


Okay, okay...so I'm not a "fashion" blogger, but I am craving Fall right now!

+I'm tired of this heat.
+I want to change up the wardrobe.
+Hubby comes home at the end of Fall!

The other morning, it was actually in the 50's when I went to work, so I got the perfect opportunity to rock the Fall fashion without dying in the heat. A scarf, TOMS, and my favorite hat was all I needed:

I just love this hat, and it's so good as keepin' my noggin' warm.
So versatile too:

"through the looking glass..."

I used to feel weird about wearing it, since it was a little out of my comfort zone, but now I rock it with pride. I've learned that life is too short to be afraid of doing what you want.
Are you as ready for Fall as I am??

Happy Birthday Daddy!

  25. That's awesome that you have such a good relationship with your dad and that the two men in your life get along so well. As for fashion I'm loving the summer weather but I must say I'm in a slump right now so it's probably time to change up. Every time I look in my closet I can't find a thing I want to wear to work.
