Fall Favorites: Fall Drinks

Happy Wednesday, y’all!

I’m so excited about today’s link up because I’m hoping to find some new fall-ish coffee drinks to try!  Make sure you link back to Emily or myself in your post!
Let me go ahead and start with a disclaimer–I am a huge water drinker.  As in, I prefer water over everything else….unless I’m treating myself, so today I’m going to share with you all of the drinks I like when I treat myself.  I’m also having to give up caffeine again since we’re doing another round of IVF, so this may be a dumb question, but can I order my favorite Starbucks drinks decaf?!


My #1 favorite fall drink is a Pumpkin Spice Latte, nonfat no whip.  I love it from Starbucks and from my favorite local coffee shop downtown.

My #2 favorite fall drink is a Caramel Apple Spice (sugar free) from Starbucks–can’t go wrong with hot apple cider and a little caramel sauce mixed in with it.

My #3 favorite fall drink is Russian Tea.  I don’t know if you can buy it anywhere, but my mom used to make it when I was younger and I knew that was the start of cold weather when she had Russian Tea boiling on the stove.  I don’t drink this anymore since it’s loaded with sugar, but I might have one cup if my mom decides to make some (hint, hint Mom 😉)

Basically, fall drinks should be warm and soothing!

What are some new fall drinks that I should try?

How to Wear White After Labor Day

I grew up knowing that it was a sin to wear white after Labor Day.  White had a very short season in the South–Easter to Labor Day.  And you just did not challenge that rule.

But now things have changed and white has become more acceptable to wear after Labor Day. (Yay!) It all depends on how you wear it, of course.  Even now that the rule has relaxed a little, you’ll still never see me in white shoes or a white dress after Labor Day 😜

Today I want to share an outfit that it totally acceptable to wear after Labor Day, and it’s actually one of my favorite ways to wear my white jeans!

As always, thank you to my talented sister at RAW Images for capturing these photos!

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday, y’all!  I am so excited about this weekend for multiple reasons–it’s a 3 day weekend, it’s the start of college football season, and it transitions into September, which to me is officially fall!

So this weekend Dustin and I will be watching football while I decorate for fall 😃

As always, I’m linking up with some of my favorites to share a few favorites from this week!

 I went to Target and browsed through the new clothing lines they now carry.  One of the lines, A New Day, seemed to be closest to my style and I found this skirt.  I was going to buy it and then I didn’t, so I need y’all’s honest (but still kind!) opinions.  What do you think of this skirt?  Obviously not paired with my t-shirt, but maybe a chambray top?



I bought this cookbook yesterday and have read only a little bit so far, but it’s really informative!  I’ve definitely done a good job lately of cooking a protein with veggies (pretty much a sheet pan meal), but this cookbook/book (it’s like half a book too of advice!) has encouraged me to do better.  Tia writes about having endometriosis and having to have 2 surgeries.  After that, she decided (with urging from her doctor) to revamp her diet and lifestyle to use food as a medicine.  Definitely something that can’t hurt to try!



This coat (but in pink) is in the September issue of Southern Living and I WANT IT!!!



I’ve really enjoyed delving into some fashion blogging, so I have some exciting looks coming to the blog this month!  The first one will be next week–and it’s not this one!  Thanks to my awesome Sister for always shooting my photos!


Don’t forget about our Fall Favorites link up!  Don’t forget to link back to us in your post, and I can’t wait to read about everyone’s favorite drinks!
