Fall fashion ready

You guys, J. Crew is going to be the death of me. I'm loving practically every piece they have out this fall. But my bank account is breathing a sigh of relief as one of my favorite pieces, this cute paisley bubble skirt, is already sold out...

Sunday Funday

It is officially, finally fall here in D.C. I've been looking forward to watching the leaves change pretty much since I moved here and this weekend, it seemed that overnight the city's trees became alive with color. I'm having to hold myself back from taking my camera everywhere with me and snapping shots of the fall foliage. Nothing says Florida freak/tourist like that right? But since I haven't truly experienced a real fall since we moved to Florida from North Carolina 10 years ago, I'm relishing in this breathtaking scenery.

Today, as the usual Sunday tradition goes, I trekked up to Eastern Market and returned with some delightful bounty. One of my favorite things about the market is the samples. You can go up and down the farmer's market aisles trying all different types of fresh fruits and vegetables and let me tell you, they're all amazing. This week I fell in love with the honeycrisp apples. Seriously, store-bought apples will never compare. And they're huge! I also returned with my weekly allotment of fresh flowers for the apartment. Aren't they gorgeous?

This picture might not do them justice, but they're the biggest apples I've ever seen!

Life in the District

It's weekends like this that make me firmly believe that I could be in D.C. forever. It couldn't have been a more perfect, October weekend. With high's in the low 70's, the weather was absolutely glorious and to top it off, my step-brother and his girlfriend came up for a surprise visit!

I've become quite talented at giving walking tours of D.C., I must say. Despite the fact that my family usually hates me when it's over and we all collapse in utter exhaustion, it's always worth it. And with blissful weather this weekend, I couldn't of been happier to spend time with family in a city I adore.

Monuments at sunset, my favorite time to visit the mall.

Step-sib lovin': Chris & me

Chris & Mal

To top it off, all of my teams won this weekend! UCF pulled out a win, Auburn and even the Jaguars. Surprising, I know. Now with less than 2 weeks to go until the UCF vs. Miami game, which I wish I was attending, I'm a little stressed for my boys. But let's hope they rest up next weekend.
