floral eye candy.

floral dresses have been in style for about three years (that ive noticed). ive posted before about the flowers and stripes combination, but these fall florals are taking away my breath.

the two of these are from jcrew, certainly nothing that i can afford since i spent my very last dollars and cents on the planet earth dvd series on a whim last night (a good investment, but quite sad all the same).

since im currently unemployed, and the most broke of college students (soup all day every day) these florals are simply eye candy, but delicious sweets for certain.

masculine meets feminine

shoe-crush. (available at anthropologie.com) the fountain spray wing tip:

picture it peeking out of a pair of black skinny legged jeans as you shuffle through the red and yellow leaves falling over campus. or tap-tapping down a city sidewalk.

i might be a girly-girl but ive always had a thing for mens shoes...

upside-down apple cinnamon

stress baking at its finest. i tried the upside down apple cinnamon muffins today. i found the recipe while i was browzing in my botany class last night, and i couldnt wait to try.

they look kind of funky, but taste like apple pie.

oven- you may see me again soon. midterms are right around the corner.

welcome to the jungle.

yesterday i attended my very first nfl football game. i was told following the game that not everyone enters the world of football in such style. but i think theres no better way.

the weather was perfect. the game was a nail biter the bengals won in the last ONE second (literally!) of the game with a field goal (maybe? im not very good with football terminology.. but it was three points). Our seats were killer- in the family section because our dear family friend ryan (pictured to the left) scored us our tickets.

Afterward ben and i made our way down to the family and press waiting area and watched the ben-gals strut out of the locker rooms, tap-tapping their heels and towing their suitcases in perfect unison. They were followed by the players, all of whom were smiling at a game well-played. Children were bent double over the small gate that separated us from the players, trying to get autographs and pictures, hugs and high fives. it was the perfect sunday.

time to work on my football facts, because id like to make a habit out of the nfl. cincinnati-style.. whodey.
