Seriously though, we realized we looked like a girl band taking these. I'm kind of loving it. I had a nice weekend in Ohio and I got to meet up with Jessica & Rachel again and do a bit of shopping. We went to a thrift store and a little local boutique called Noto where I picked up the cutest necklace ever (it will appear soon, I'm sure.) Fall has finally hit around here, more so in Northern Ohio than where I am living, but still, tights and scarves are becoming a must now.

Also - Jessica & Elana started a sweet blogger swap group called Flock Together. I designed the blog :D Go check it out.

I quite enjoy bright colors and acting like a fool on rainy days. There is something about wearing the sunniest color invented on the grayest fall day ever that really puts a smile on my face. And it is finally cool enough to wear thicker sweaters and fall booties - which translates into being comfortable in my fox and rabbit sweater probably every week again like I did last year. Speaking of, I think today is my on the dot anniversary of moving to Harrisburg. Where has the time gone?

We are getting closer to the time for holiday parties - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, etc. - lots and lots of things! I always make Chex Mix as a yummy treat because it's easy and everyone likes it. Our recipe is ever so slightly different than the on the box and is always adjustable - I use less salt for Jason because he doesn't like it. Best part - it's microwavable - which means it takes no time, can be done in a hurry, and basically anywhere, including dorms. This is super easy and maybe doesn't need detailed instructions, but I give them anyway, complete with animated GIF. Anyone notice my animated GIF obsession lately?

Lots of my favorite things going on here :: a covered bridge, a bow necklaces, and a bird dress. First, this colorful bird print dress has been on my watch for awhile, but the moment I saw it go on sale, I was anxious to get home and purchase it right away. Everything with animals on it, all of the time, am I right?

I was venturing down towards this park to go to an abandoned gas/service station, but it really wasn't as cute as I remember it being when I first drove past it. So I made a turn on a side street near the park and noticed a weird barn like structure -- which ended up being this covered bridge! Sometimes I really do love Harrisburg for the plethora of little photographic gems it has.

Last week I came home to an adorable package from Anya of Pretty Pany in my mail - I loved the little card and packaging of this adorable necklace. I can't stop wearing it. I really love independently designed things - I love knowing someone made the thing I am wearing and that it's a different (and a lot nicer!) than some cheap nickel necklace from Forever 21. Basically I'm in love with this thing! Also - get excited - Anya and I will be doing a giveaway later this month!

So, central Pennsylvania is actually kind of adorable. I was excited to take my friend Alyson who came to visit to all of the local places, walk around the beautiful and huge capitol complex, and eat at some of my favorite places ever. Having Alyson come in town was great because it gave us both some well needed girl time together - it was our first time just hanging out since forever. This needs to happen more often - sadly, Arizona and Pennsylvania are not really easy to travel in between.

Drinks in Amish country at the beer & wine gallery I frequent now. It's in a barn.



We had beers at McGrath's - my favorite place in Harrisburg for drinks - and dinner at Carley's - an adorable piano bar (the same one Marisa and I went to!). It was all amazing.

Harrisburg is situated right on the Susquehanna river and has a beautiful park that goes for miles along the river right beside downtown. I never knew about the stairs that lead directly up to the water - so we ventured down here to get up close and personal with the river. It's fairly clean too - much cleaner than the Ohio river back home.

I'm pretty much obsessed with this dress and everything about it. I don't own anything white/cream - so this was a great addition and I cannot wait to remix it again and again and again
