1. PAN AM
I'm horrible with series on TV, but I'm actually really into this one. Pan Am is an ABC (find it Sunday nights at 9pm central) series about 1960's airline attendants and pilots as they fly around the globe. I love timepieces, so their fabulous clothes and the way they carry themselves definitely drew me in. Also, it might have something to do with Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly With Me" being used in the previews. And yes, the real Frank Sinatra ;).
2. Music
Some music is just fall-ish to me, especially really chill, pretty things to ride around late at night with the windows down to. Some of my favorites on repeat right now are:
- Dance With Me Baby/Out of My Head/Falling in Love/And Then You Love Someone - Ben Rector
- Lifetime/Hesitate/Thing About Us - Steve Moakler
- You Are More/Alive In Us - Hillsong Live
- We Owned the Night - Lady Antebellum
- My Story - Addison Road
- What I Know - Parachute
- Heartbeat - The Fray
DISCLAIMER: I'm NOT one for country music, especially the new stuff, but Hunter Hayes has a beautiful voice and new album that I'm willing to forgive him for such a genre. Check it. Moving on.
3. Pinterest
This is a very large reason why I can no longer take my computer to Microbiology or start on homework before 11:00 at night. If you need an unreasonable amount of new ideas or a new addiction of which to spend an unreasonable amount of time, check out Pinterest. Here you can find hundreds of pictures across the web at one time and one place. It shows you things you might like (mine are all crafts, flowers, clothes, etc.) based on things you "like" while signing up. Basically, it's just a virtual bulletin board that you pin photos on. You do need a membership, but it's free and all it takes is sending in your email which later sends an "invitation." You will find that lots of your Facebook friends are already pinning away and you can connect with them there, too.
4. Cape Coats
This is one of my favorite things for this season fashion-wise. How classy? I'm glad that 30's-ish/60's-ish clothes are now-ish, but I think I can give a big "I told you so." :) This one is from Forever 21, but you can find them pretty much anywhere. Yay.
5. Raspberry Hot White Chocolate Mocha
I'm a long-time fan of the White Mocha, but drizzle in a little raspberry flavor, and I'm in love. Playing around with flavors is so fun to me, and this one was definitely a success. It's sweet and warm and perfect and all it needs is a drizzly chilly night to walk bundled up in. With a scarf. Yes.
6. Ulta's Salon Formula Polish in "The Jungle Look"
It's hard to believe I'm into a non-traditional nail color, but I couldn't resist when I saw this. Not only is this Ulta color $2, but perfect for fall. I'm really into jewel tones this year and this one is great. I have to admit, I thought it was more teal in the store, but it's definitely green. I like it though, I think it's definitely worth a try.
