Anxious for Autumn (A Beautiful Mess)

Try as I may to stay focused on summertime, I am anxious for autumn. It happens every year. I'm sorry. Don't hate me. I... just... can't... help it.

Today I saw my first fallen orange leaves in Sarah's yard, and it was my moment of zen.

Here's a checklist of all the autumn traditions I have planned (from my journal): Host a Halloween party (this will be our first one!), make apple cider at home, visit the pumpkin patch with Penelope, celebrate PSL day with Jeremy, create an autumn cocktail, run the Turkey Trot 5k with Emma, hang our ghost decorations, make autumn floral arrangements and drink wine (don't ask! This is a long-running tradition), make homemade trail mix, and celebrate Friendsgiving.

Who's with me?

We teamed up with our (amazing) friends at Ruche for this Sister Style, who are running a 30% off Labor Day sale right now!

Emma's wearing: Dress, Necklace, Shoes
Elsie's wearing: Top, Shorts, Shoes, Clutch, Jacket

Oh, and one more thing on autumn. Let's not forget the cheesy (ahem—"classic") Halloween movie marathon that needs to happen. Hocus Pocus, anyone? xo. Elsie
