Normally I am not a fan of Jessica Simpson's shoe line. They always have a close-but-not-quite feel to me. But these adorable lace up booties? Home run.

My dad took me out to Nakashima's and I managed to eat my entire meal with chopsticks. When I got home I remembered I own a pair -- maybe I'll have to start using them when I have rice.

Lately I'm into lipstick. Of all different colors. These ones are MAC's Diva, Vegas Volt, and Rebel. I love them all equally.

I love lace, so I'm basically thrilled that it's super in this season. I got this lace dress at Forever 21 and wore it the next day. It's an off-the-shoulder type and basically perfect.

My cousin Jacob is in the stage of his life where he thinks hugging me is completely undesirable. But when he was a Lambeau for the preseason Colts game, he was so excited to be there and see Peyton Manning on the field that he completely forgot his distaste for hugging his older cousin and threw his entire body weight against me. In a relatively tackle-like manner. I'll take what I can get.

Wait, one more glimpse of summer love. Then back to fall. But seriously, a long black cardigan over this, cute black ankle boots to go with? Ahh I love pieces that can transfer through the seasons.

Kaia's a pretty senior in high school who came to me for her senior pictures. She's got naturally curly hair, so she came with her hair straightened and then tossed her head in my shower to get her curls back. If only it was that easy to make my hair curly!

The moon looked huge when I was driving home tonight. I pulled over and took a picture.
