Excuse My Cheezy-ness..

For those of you who don't know, this little man is my nephew, Braxton. Today was his first birthday party. You always hear the phrase "time flies"... but I've never really applied it to my life. It seems like not even that long ago, I was feeding this little guy a bottle. Now he's eating cupcakes on his own, giving me big sloppy open mouthed kisses, offering me slobbery cheese puffs, wobbling around everywhere (as opposed to running), and saying little fragments of words. It's so hard to believe. I'm not even sure where the time in between his birth and his first birthday went. It flew by. Today was a significant day for me. I've finally realized what people mean when they say "time flies". Happy first birthday, Braxton. Aunt Steph Steph loves you.

Oh, Hey Fall.

Fall is here! Well, supposedly. Even though it was about 80 degrees today in good ole Alabama, It is no longer summer. Fall is most definitely my favorite season. I love everything about it. Here are a few of my favorites as fall is just starting to materialize itself...



My cowboy boots. There isn't even much to say about them. I adore them and I jump at any chance to wear them.


Candles! I love candles any time of the year, but I especially love them during the colder seasons. Especially ones that smell like cinnamon, pumpkin, bonfires, etc. Sooo yummy.



Teaaaa! Ah, I am such a tea person. I'd take tea over coffee anyday. Unless of course the coffee was Starbucks, then I'd probably have to drink them both. Bigelow's Pomegranate Green Tea is my favorite.



As you all know, I am a nail polish fanatic. Actually, fanatic doesn't even describe me well enough. This is currently my favorite nail polish. Ingrid by China Glaze, a part of the Vintage Collection. It's much like You Don't Know Jacques by O.P.I., but with some gold shimmers. Sooo pretty!



The infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte. I could drink one every day. But because I care about my waist line, I treat myself every now and then.




SCARVES! If you know me at all, you know I'll wear a scarf any time of the year. With any article of clothing. I feel like I could never get enough. I just really like wearing them in the fall because I don't feel stupid. Versus wearing them in July and sweating to death. Which I am also willing to do.



My Toms. I have this exact pair; a birthday present from a friend. Love them soo much. I recieved them just in time.. because my old yellow ones had seen their day. So sad.



Skinnies! Love them. They're just perfect. Although it is extremely difficult for me to find a pair that fits right... considering the fact that my legs are really short, they're my second favorite thing to buy. And they fit perfectly into my BOOTS!



Yes, that is a cookie. It's a snickerdoodle. Probably the best baked creation ever. Its just a sugar cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar before its baked. So easy to make. They're delightful.


Over sized sweaters like this one make me so happy. They're so comfy and I wish i had one in every color. I'm working on that.




I'm not even sure if this perfume is meant for fall. But whatever. Burberry Weekend=<3 align="center">


And last but certainly not least, the scenery.
