shopping restriction

Even though I've placed myself on shopping restriction for the next few months, it doesn't mean I can't browse the imaginary lookbook I've created in my head for fall/winter clothes.

It does mean I should stop browsing actual lookbooks, catalogs, websites, store fronts, sales racks...you get the idea. Hello, my name is Megan, and I'm an (amateur)shopaholic.

a little mustard and paprika...



just like Audrey used to make...




all the trimmings...


(CHECK. Finally got a perfect blazer. Before shopping restriction started. Talk about a buzzer-beater.)

I love color. LOVE it. But this time around, while stocking up for fall, I have bought almost all grey. GREY?? Who am I?
So I'll be on the look out for mustards, eggplants, grass greens, and persimmon red-oranges. And my never ending quest for good pattern will of course wage on.

But I'm not letting myself buy anything, so...what was the point....?

life at the farm

Spencer & Sawyer took a quick trip to Gma & Gpa Beals' farm in Arizona. Sawyer loved the farm. The farm loved him.



Special thanks to Gma Janice for taking these sweet photos of Sawyer's visit.

where the wild things are

We took Sawyer to the wild...

where he could splash in a stream

where he could play in the dirt

where he could try to get dirt on us

where he would find sticks and rocks and bugs

where he could do some deep thinking

where he could look up at tall trees

where he was carefree

POST EDIT: I know Sawyer's hair is long and he is looking a little raggamuffin-esque at times. Especially in that last photo. Hello, dirty orphan child, do you need a new mother? It's the hot look for fall, we're just a step ahead of the trends.

Speaking of fall, I am putting together a post (for all 3 of the people who occasionally read this) of my wish list of what I'd like in my closet for the upcoming fall/winter. I like to make wish lists.
