SBC: top 5 of summer, top 6 for fall.

Hey hey, happy Saturday!

Let’s jump right into #5 and #6 of the September Blogging Challenge, shall we?

top 5 highlights from summer.

In no particular order…

Spending nearly 2 weeks away with my family.
I haven’t spent this much time with my family in almost 4 years! I got to see both my mom and dad’s sides of the family, and my sister Katie who moved to Florida last year. The fact that I was able to escape the city and be at our shore house didn’t hurt either

Fourth of July in Montauk.
If I had one regret from this past summer it would be that I didn’t spend more time out east. BUT I’m so glad I at least got to spend 4th of July in Montauk with my friends. It was a great few days – brought back so many memories of the past few summers out there, and made some new ones.

My first trip to Vegas.
Even though it was more of a work trip, I had so much fun!

Taking a month off from blogging.
This was one of the best decisions I’ve made recently – I learned so much from it.

Adventures in the city.
This is always a highlight (of life), but it’s especially fun in the summer when everything can be outdoors.

top 6 things I’m excited about for fall.

New (unexpected) things.
I know that’s ridiculously broad, but there’s no other way to put it! I’m a highly expectant person (sometimes I think maybe too much so), so I always get excited entering into a new season. I can’t help but think that new seasons in weather/time also represent a new season in life.

The clothes.
I love me some cutoffs and crop tops, but I can’t wait to reintroduce jeans, boots, and jackets into my life.

The food.
Yep, I’m one of those pumpkin-obsessed weirdos. I would really love to try some new recipes – any pumpkin baked goods you recommend?

Halloween.
It’s on a FRIDAY, people. I want to dress up as something really fun. But cute. Cute and fun. Last year I was ketchup soooo I’m thinking I can only go up from there.

New goals.
I have a few things on the agenda (especially for Speakable and GML) that I’m really excited to start rolling out in fall.

THIS CITY.
Seriously – New York is magical in fall – more so than any other season. Summer is too hot, winter is too cold, we tend to skip spring, but fall is juuuuuuust right.

Your turn! Give me a highlight of your summer and/or what’s making you excited for fall!
