A Tofurky Day Birthday πŸ§πŸ¦ƒπŸ₯³

Guess what? I sprouted butterfly wings when I woke up today and turned 38!!!!!!!!!!! Was it the collaboration with Thanksgiving that brought on this miracle metamorphosis?

Alright, not really. But!!!! Earlier this week, when I went for a lovely afternoon walk with my friend at a local park, I saw that they had installed beautiful sculptures in the art garden for various photo ops! I couldn’t resist taking a photo in front of the monarch butterfly wings. Because if you’ve been around my blog for long enough, you know that not a day goes by when I’m not wearing something butterfly-themed in my outfits – whether it be a barrette or a ring! πŸ¦‹

I LOVE IT when my birthday falls on Thanksgiving every few years! It feels like an extra celebration with a delicious meal (tofurky for me!) and seeing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on television. So, a big shoutout to this awesome holiday that, fortunately for me, falls on my birthday this year!

And I can’t resist having my birthday cake be pumpkin pie when this happens! 🧑

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!! 🀎

Black & White Look Worn Two Ways: Poppin’ Pink πŸ–€πŸŽ€πŸ€

Anytime I feel like an outfit is missing something, I always check first to make sure I have some kind of pink accent in my accessories. And ‘lo and behold, if I feel like something’s missing, it’s usually because I forgot to wear something pink in my hair or around my wrist, or at least some rings!

With this black and white look, pink accents were the perfect touch! πŸ–€πŸ©·πŸ€ Two outfits worn differently: one has a more romantic feel with the lace and ribbon top, while the second one has a more sporty feel with the letterman top.

Socks: Target / Skirt: SHEIN / Shoes: Dolls Kill
Purse and Ring: Temu
Bracelet: Gifted / Hello Kitty Clips: Temu / French Bulldog Clips: Target
Shoes: Dolls Kill / Purse: A New Day, Target / Purse Charm: Gifted / Ring: Temu

I love this accessory cluster shot in the last photo! That bracelet is my favorite bracelet, too; pink jewels are my favorite style!

Do you have a particular color that you’re especially attached to? Let me know! πŸ–€πŸ©·πŸ€

Jewel Tones, Bears & Tunes: A Cozy November Start πŸ»πŸ‚β˜•οΈπŸŽ΅

Purse: My mom’s, from the ’80s!

This past week was a great start to November; I met my friend for coffee at a French bakery and got to enjoy the beautiful weather and fall leaves everywhere!! πŸŒ€οΈπŸ‚

It was a great time catching up, enjoying an iced mocha and a lemon macaron… 😍 Also, I really liked my outfit with its jewel tones and letterman pullover sweater!

A theme going on with these two outfits are the retro purses I’m using – both from the ’80s!

Boots: Dolls Kill / Skirt: SHEIN
Rose clips: Made by me / Butterfly clips: Target

Another outfit from this past week was bear-themed: hair clips and a ring to match! πŸ»πŸŽ€

Skirt: SHEIN

It’s such a pretty time of year, and I feel myself wanting to be outdoors a lot to enjoy the cooler air, the bright blue skies and the foliage vibrantly etched against it! I also feel like I take things even slower than I normally do, taking an extra moment to enjoy the sound of leaves rolling across the pavement or noticing the different color palettes nature creates depending on the time of day.

I’ve been in an extra nostalgic music mood lately (but honestly, when am I not!?) and I’ve been revisiting Third Eye Blind’s Blue album from 1999! πŸ’™ This is one of those bands that takes me way back. Somehow, the album feels like it pairs well with the fall foliage around me. I bought the CD used well over a decade ago, hence the sticky sticker residue on the top right corner!

Does anyone else totally love CD booklets and album art?!?! I always have, since they tend to fit the concept and overall feel of the album. πŸ’Ώ

My favorite songs on here are Anything, 10 Days Late, Never Let You Go, 1000 Julys, and An Ode To Maybe. Totally love rocking out to this album from start to finish!

See ya next time! I hope you’re enjoying the start of November! πŸ’•
