Have a cozy week

My stats professor brought it to our attention this morning that it is officially red cup season at Starbucks. Hooray for delicious seasonal blends like the peppermint mocha!

A friend of mine recently tweeted that Starbucks is even playing holiday music already. Dang! It's funny how Thanksgiving is in the middle, but doesn't get nearly half the hype of Halloween or the winter holidays. Also, who has started Christmas shopping? Target now carries Starbucks hot chocolate and coffee roasts that would make excellent gifts, or I love/ recommend the plastic tumbler. They are ideal for cold drinks! 

Looking forward to Fall

The heat finally broke here in Bloomington, and a few trees have started changing colors! Hooray for Fall! Here are a few long-awaited shares that always make me excited for the new season...

1. Cool scarves

2. Leaves changing colors - they make a long walk to class that much better!

3. Tights! Patterned, solid, with flats or heels, in New York or the Midwest, they're just too dang versatile! 

3.5 The return of Gossip Girl on Monday, Sept. 26!

4. Warm teas and coffees like Starbucks's pumpkin spice latte on a cold day all bundled up - yum! 

What are you most excited about this Fall?
