Best of Lately: Fall/ Halloween

You guys...it's cooling down!!!

Last weekend I was in Denver - where it just felt like Fall was rolling in.  The temperatures were lower - we're talking in the 70's.  I know that doesn't sound very low - but compared to the 90's it's been here in Utah - it was a very welcome change.

While I was there we did some shopping at the nearest outlet malls where I got a great deal on this jacket:

Levi Denim Jacket

Except I spent WAY less than that because it was Outlet pricing and there was a sale on denim jackets.  I stole this for $48.  And truthfully, I mean this chick no offense, I totally wear it better.  (Is it just me or does this chica need to find better fitting clothes?  Or maybe eat more hamburgers.  I'll go with the latter.)

I also bought this sweater from Abercrombie & Fitch:

Blythe Sweater

It's on clearance already - so I snagged it.  What is clearance for Abercrombie, is usually about where I feel comfortable paying full price for something.  I don't think I've ever bought anything full price there.  It's an "I'm kinda cheap and sticking to my principals" sort of thing.

Now I just need the weather to drop about 40 degrees and I get to wear them!

We can kind of feel the cold weather coming thought.  Even though it'll be in the 80's this weekend - it's something you just know - cold weather is rolling in.  (See, already 10 degrees cooler!)  And before you know it, it'll be time to go see the changing leaves in the canyon and do the Alpine Loop.  (Scenic drive here in Utah - if you're all about Scenic Drives and you haven't been - I highly suggest it.  Also - bring a camera.)

It might be WAY too early, but I'm already cracking out the fall scents this week.  My warmers have this scent in them:

Autumn Sunset

For those of you who are up to date on their Scentsy Products - this isn't discontinued - look for it again on September 15th.  (My SIL is my consultant - she kind of loves me since I can't stop myself when it comes to the catalogues.  I currently have 6 bars on order, but I'm waiting until the 15th to put it through.)

Also super cute from Scentsy:

Pumpkin Warmer

Guys...I want it BAD.  And it's all...on sale this month.

But aside form the fall shopping and smells and drives, I have been inspired to do some fall crafts.  I've gone through my blog roll - a feat, I can assure you because that list is LONG.  And I've found some unbelievably cute crafts that gave me some ideas.

We'll start off with Eighteen 25:

SUPER cute Skull Art & Tutorial.  Lolly Jane guest posted, however I can't seem to find this post on Lolly Jane yet.  So I'll link to both pages.  

I don't decorate for Halloween...yet.  I know I will when I have kids old enough to appreciate the fun.  Right now I just decorate for fall.  But this gave me an idea - so stay tuned.

I LOVE how adorable these turned out.  You should see the girl skull up close - it has cute feathery eyelashes and everything.  And I LOVE the stache and bow tie on the boy skull.  Super cute!!

Craftoholics Anonymous posted this cute tutorial on a fun Witch's Hat that would be adorable on any shelf or mantle.

The best part - it seems relatively simple and the outcome its super cute.

Crafts Unleashed posted these cute Baker's Twine Pumpkins.  These are definitely more my speed with my current Fall themes.  And from what I've seen - Bakers Twine is everywhere.  You just have to google search and you can find some reasonably priced.

Bat Frame from A Pumpkin & A Princess

This is super cute.  Also a good idea if you have a little boy who is obsessed with Batman.  Halloween Decor for a month and for the 11 remaining months it goes back in Jr's bedroom.  I love it.

You can totally steal this Halloween Printable over at Craft-O-Maniac.

It's free!  And she has all sorts of themes as well.

And this cute Houndstooth Pumpkin wreath was made by Jen over at Tatertots and Jello.  I wonder if that woman has ever had a craft fail.

This makes me want to go make a wreath - pretty bad.

Well that's all for right now.  There are still about 30 different things I'd like to do to my house including pretty fall pillows and pretty fall wreaths and accents but I have to cool it because, believe it or not, I do not poop money.

Hopefully you're having a fantastic weekend.
