First outfit pictures with my new camera! Do you guys not love the quality of these!? I'm dying. I love my new camera! [Thanks, babe ;) ]

As you can see, I'm rockin' my team's colors again. (And check the new tunnels!) Today was the last conference game for the Florida Gators. They played Florida State... and won! Florida State is their rival team so it was a tense game but in the end, we beat them down. WOOP! (Sorry if you're a FSU fan...) The Gators are now 11-1 and the next game will be a bowl game. Stoked.

These pictures were taken outside Buffalo Wild Wings, before the game started. We go to the same one almost every Saturday so let's just say we eat a lot of wings during football season. We got a few awkward stares while taking pictures, but whatever. We wanted a different background!

I was freezing, by the way! The things I do for this blog. I wore a coat but you couldn't see my outfit with the big coat on, so ta-da! I hate that. Outfit pictures + cold weather = hard work. It was only 34 degrees today too, and I braved it for you. That's also why there's only 3 pictures, haha! But fabulous pictures, don't you agree?

Saturday, Henry and I woke up and watched the game. We won! 8-1 now!
Then we ran a few errands so I wanted to be comfortable and definitely warm. I love layering and I've been trying to find new new ways to layer since it's getting even colder here. The sun's down by 5pm! Crazy. I prefer fall weather and long, sunny days, please. I even opted for a hat! I really don't wear hats that much since I spend so much time actually doing my hair, but it was SO cold and I really like hats in this style. It doesn't mess with my hair too awfully bad and keeps my ears warm. Perfect!

I've had most of these pieces for a really long time but they're so basic, I'm sure you could find them anywhere.

Have you been layering your butt off?

Bad Luck Red

Henry edited this and loved it. I look like a cartoon!

Saturday was a blessing and a curse. I colored my hair! I got it cut too and it looks and feel so much healthier. I made some money at Plato's Closet. Met one of Henry's brothers. And it was game day. Unfortunately that's where the good luck ended because we lost. First game of the season that we didn't win. Boo. Boo boo boo boo.

It's because I wore red. Guess what the opposing team, Georgia bulldogs, colors are.. Next Saturday? Expect to see blue and orange Maybe for the whole weekend.

At least I looked cute, losing.

Saturdays are my favorite day of the whole week. We get all day to hang out and then it's time for football! I've stated before that I'm a huge Gators fan, as is the rest of my family, so every Saturday I make Henry sit in front of the tv with me while I yell at officials, our quarterback and the opposing team. Although, sometimes we go to Buffalo Wild Wings for part of the game and yes.. I still yell.

Festivals in the Fall (And Football!)

Today was absolutely fantastic in all the fun, fall-y ways!

Henry and I drove an hour and a half North (into Ohio!) to go to a street fair. I know.. it sounds absolutely ridiculous now that I've said it out loud to myself, but you could only truly understand if you've been to this place. It was in Yellow Springs, Ohio and if you've never been I suggest you take a trip immediately.

This is one of the gorgeous buildings in town.

This place is like walking back in time. On any normal day, you can expect to see a number of people walking in the middle of the tiny town, with no shoes. Hardly anyone drives through that part of town. There's yarn bombs on all of the trees. Just in case you feel inspired, there's sidewalk chalk on the benches, outside the cutest little shops. And those shops?! They seriously have most interesting little knick-knacks and handmade goodies inside, like jewelry, hats and mittens, candles, soaps, etc. It is really just the coolest place in the world. Not to mention the most delicious vegan ice cream shop and a bike rental right next to it!

So, if you can imagine all that on a normal day.. imagine everyone who loves those things, plus peace-lovers, street musicians, hippies, crafters, and artists gathering and setting up over 250 little tents set up with tons of fun stuff to do and see and buy. Can you now see why we drove so far for a street fair? It was the most fun thing we've done in so long. Not to mention the weather was GORGEOUS! I love fall more than any other season. Mainly because of the fashion but also because the leaves on the trees are so beautiful. Too bad it doesn't last very long anymore.

This is one of the trees we walked by on our way into the middle of town.

 Beautiful, right!?

One of the booths we stopped at had the coolest prints drawn by an artist named Tony Lewis. His grandma was selling them and for a small illustration? $5! We couldn't pass them up! I wanted to buy all of them but this is the one we decided to get.

We also stopped by a cute little toy store. Its Henry's nephew's birthday tomorrow so we decided to kill two birds with one stone. (Isn't that the most awful saying?) This is his first birthday (!) so we just got him these little foam cars and trucks to play with in the bath. Hopefully he doesn't chew them to bits. The best parts about the toy store were this awesome coloring book we found:

Ha!
And the bag they put the gift in!

Isn't that the cutest, handmade shopping bag?! I'm tellin' you. This place is seriously eco-friendly and it makes my heart warm.

It took about two hours to go through everything in Yellow Springs. We shopped, pet alpacas(!)...

then waited in line for ice cream, until we got bored & decided against it, and finally walked the mile it took us to get to our car. (We were shoulder to shoulder the entire time we were there, guys. That's how many people were there!) When we got home, we went straight to Bdub's. (Buffalo Wild Wings?) Game day, baby! My beloved, Florida Gators beat Vanderbilt, 31-17! They're on a freakin' role. 6-0!! I love me some college football.

And that's how I'm ending my night. On a fall festival loving, game day winning, high.
