+ Re-stocking up on Dye Ties.

+ Lazy afternoon with Abby; she has the right idea.

+ Freaks and Geeks on Netflix.

+ Local Dia de Los Muertos Festival: Crafts, car show, and cold refreshments for the 90*+ weather.

Other notes//

+ Saw Wreck-It Ralph with my brother, and it was so adorable. The short film before the flick is excellent.

+ Beautifully illustrated video on the co-existence of introverts & extroverts.

+ Thank you to Jessica for her post on designer Vega Zaishi Wang because now I can’t stop staring at her designs. Her work is so forward and just downright cool.

+ My dear friend Grace was supposed to run the NYC marathon, which obviously didn’t happen. Despite not running, she’s been busy volunteering for local NYC relief needs. To give your support, text REDCROSS to 90999 for a $10 donation or visit the Red Cross to give.

CHRISTMAS IN THE SAND

I’ve got Christmas music* playing non-stop and considering that we don’t have much for winter weather over here, Colbie Caillat’s holiday album fits the bill perfectly.

That said, I’m also looking at swimwear year-round. My dear friend Paula tipped me off to the brand Jolyn. As a synchronized swimmer, she knows how quickly suits can wear out, fade, and lose fit, so I can see why she’s stoked on the brand. Their versatile basics look like instant core closet items, which makes their skull suit collaboration with Laeken just the icing on the cake. Plus, they’re all made in the USA. Good find, Paula!

*I am fully aware of the calendar, but if Starbucks has red cups, it’s a go.

+ I’m getting used to weekly homemade apple pies in our home lately. My mom’s leaf cutout adds a nice touch.

+ To celebrate Halloween, I decorated mini pumpkins for the girls in my FF league in their team colors.

+ Halloween funfetti cupcakes for MNF dessert.

+ Operation Christmas Child is starting their shoe box collection in the coming weeks. OCC is a great way to spread love and the Christmas spirit with children all over the world living in less developed countries. It’s super easy, gentle on your wallet, and you can even do it online now. Check it out!

+ ACL posted this fantastic behind-the-scene video from Crockett & Jones. Craftsmanship of this level is so inspiring.

I work hard to keep from wandering into Free People too often because I am too weak to say no. Thankfully this guy wasn’t in my local store today, so I didn’t have to go through that internal battle again. Instead, I made a safer choice and got a dress, but man do I want this.

+ Between football games, it appears that I ate my way through the weekend: Celebrating a dear friend’s birthday with brunch at Taste, yet another Sprinkles cupcake & ice cream stop, and homemade pizza with the family.

Other notes//

+ I’ve got a busy schedule and a busy mind lately. Hyped to see D. Howard officially in purple and gold on the court yesterday. Wishing everyone a terrific and safe week.
