Summer Into Fall



I love the autumn season, but with our Midwest wacky weather, some days are summer, some are not, and then we forget what season it is!  No, but really, it's more of the want to hold onto a bit of Summer Into Fall.  Which is exactly what I did last week.  I paired a simple navy blue t-shirt dress from H&M with a hot pink cardi, and this wonderful cotton scarf.  I was wrapped for the cooler temps, but I kept the bright colors for summer. And what do you know, it's 75° out today!  Enjoy the warmer temps even though we're in the thick of fall.

Mindy, Mindy Make Me Laugh




I was totally happy and lucky to score a copy of "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And other concerns)" by Mindy Kaling from a #birchbloggers twitter event! (ooh, and click HERE for my referral link if you're still wavering on becoming a birchboxer). I've been a huge fan of hers as Kelly from The Office for years, and she has made me laugh at the most goofiest and neurotic things- but she makes it okay to be yourself and have your insecurities and still, be fab.  It's even cooler now she has her own show: The Mindy Project with a couple of cute blokes and still all the jokes and natural womanly neurotic-ism I love. She's brave for including some pics from her childhood to illustrate just how not fabulous, but how normal she was.  And like, boom, now she's used all her Ivy League smarts and natural funniness to make herself a fabulous career.  And she LOVES shoes. And FASHION.  She's like the bestie I need to help me pick out what to wear to which event, and how to make an Irish Exit; even when it goes wrong.  Her book, her show, and her twitter feed (LOLs all day, e'ry day), will make you laugh. I read this book twice!
