Halloween Porch and Fall Fashion

Halloween week!  Are you ready?  We’ve had a weekend full of Halloween parties and get togethers so it feels strange that trick or treating isn’t until Wednesday.  Kind of spread out this year since it fell mid week isn’t it!?

But we are ready and so is our porch!  Bring it on.  I had planned on mixing up my porch decor this year and going with less black/Halloween and more light, bright/all things Autumn.  BUT..

I have a certain 8 year old..

Better known these days as “Pikachu” who had a different idea.  He wasn’t all that excited about switching out our spider web for more mums so we keep things nice and friendly/spooky like always.  Because really.. how many more years am I going to have a sweet little sidekick helping me decorate?  Not as many as I’d like!

So the two of us got out our BOO pumpkin and favorite lanterns and Halloween banner and we added a few Cinderella pumpkins (they are my favorite!) and a couple of small mums for a compromise. :)

We also put our spiderweb in the window and some cute little pumpkin string lights on the balcony railing and then called it a holiday. :)

Boo hello and trick or treat.  That’s as scary as we get around here.

We’ve had a few chilly days lately which means sweater weather!  Woot woot!  Even on warm days it has been cooler in the mornings and evenings for us which is such a nice change.  This green Ribbed Funnel Neck Sweater is my most recent favorite.  It’s a great length and just so soft and comfortable.  Comes in plus size too!

This is the same sweater in Ivory with this cute Check Scarf.  Love this outfit!  I need a vacation home in the snow.  That’s backwards I know.  Ha. :)  But I just love cold weather clothes too much to live full time in San Diego!  Good thing we make lots of Utah trips in the winter.

My Madewell Balloon Sleeve sweater is selling out fast but there are still a few sizes left!  I love pulling out this long time favorite RM purse every Fall too.

So in love with this Cece Poodle Sleeve Sweater!  The sleeves are my favorite.  I recently wore it three times in one week.  I made sure I wasn’t going to see the same people.. although now the secret is out.  Why do I even think about that when I’m perfectly fine telling everyone later how much I wore it?

One of life’s great mysteries that will never be solved.

We took Kole to the Pumpkin Patch a couple of weeks ago and it felt strange to just have him there!  My girls both had actives and things going on so we met some of Kole’s buddies.

We spent a good while lost in a corn maize.

And had an overall fun night.  Love hanging with my boys.

One more item I’m loving lately!  These comfy LOVE sweatpants are too good.  Perfect for around the house.

And around out of the house. :)  This is my Sunday evening crew.  One Sunday afternoon we all ended up at the same park with our kids (unplanned) and had so much fun catching up while the kids played that we decided it needed to be a weekly tradition.  Today we all took food!  Life is more fun with friends isn’t it?  And with food. :)

K.. this post is too long already but I wanted to quickly share some favorites that are back in stock or on sale!

My favorite Balloon Sleeve Sweater from the N sale is back in fun new colors!  I know this is looking a lot like the sweaters I already shared.  I’m nothing if not predictable. :)

This cute Wrap Sweater is also back in stock!

My Blouson Sleeve Sweater is 40% off!  It’s a tad on the short side so sometimes I wear a tank under it.

My Bow Neck Puff Sleeve top is also on sale.  I get so many compliments on this every time I wear it!  I love the length of the sleeves.

My Cece Ribbon Sweater is also marked down.  (Loving Cece tops this Fall!)

And so is this cute Fit and Flare dress!

A view from the side..

and the back.  Really pretty dress.  I love wearing it with over the knee boots.

And last but not least, this cute faux leather tote is also on sale!  I’ll also link to some recent favorites I have my eye on at the bottom of my post.  I’ve started my Christmas shopping (following my holiday planner guide!) so I’m seeing ALL the cute things on-line.  Picture late nights with comfy pjs, Hallmark Christmas movies (they started last weekend!), on-line shopping and lots of leftover Halloween candy.

It’s a dangerous time of year for me.

Well!  That’s it for a round-up of my Halloween porch decor, fashion favorites and complete and utter nonsense.

Looks like I’ve done my job once again. ;)  Have a great week everyone!
