Thanks for including my picture! Loveeee the fall outfit!

I went to Berry Patch two weeks ago and they had tons and tons of amazing blueberries!
I’m a senior at ISU and was in their marching band, but I spent the first 18 years of my life in Iowa City. I bleed cardinal and gold AND black and gold. I do root for the Cyclones for the ISU/UI game though, because it’s fun to have the family rivalry.
Robert Pattinson was so hot in the 4th Harry Potter movie. Have you seen it?
Sarah 09.02.2011
I love that outfit, I am in love with the dark mustard yellows for fall! And R Patz?! Swoon, mega, mega Swoon.
Emily 09.02.2011
Ben doesn’t like GaGa?? I find this so shocking…..

It’s really weird – in general he really likes her, while I don’t care for her that much. Our opinions are totally flip-flopped in regards to this song though. I love it, he hates it!
Amy 09.02.2011
Fashion Plates, OMG, that was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid!!! Gah! Brings back memories!
And GO HAWKS!!!
Alyssa 09.02.2011
Go Hawks! I am so ready for football but sad that for the first time in 3 years I won’t be attending all the tailgating and football game festivities in Iowa City. I’m planning on going back for at least one game however.
I’m looking forward to turning off my AC and opening up the windows without feeling sweat drip down my back. :)
Lesley 09.02.2011
That man is walking sex. Sorry if that was TMI, but I had to go there. Um, anyway love that song too, and I WANT that fortune cookie necklace. Too bad I’ve declared September a no spending month. :( I have some shopping issues, lol.
TONYA 09.02.2011
Fashion plates!!!! Love love love, I bet my old ones are still in my parents basement. My favorite thing this week is tomatoes from our garden (I’ve put them in every meal)!
Go Huskers!!!!
Angie 09.02.2011
I <3 your man candy. And the fashion plates!
Panera John 09.02.2011
I will forever be cheering on the Cyclone sidelines, but we can agree to disagree there. :) Just so we’re clear, the ‘real’ pumpkin spice latte will be returning to Panera Bread on Sept. 14th. (along with our new oven roasted turkey harvest salad and new oven roasted turkey artichoke panini) ;-) I’m not sure both lattes are delicious though – how can you go wrong with pumpkin. That’s why I’m excited to try your pumpkin pancakes this weekend… I think they will be my culinary endeavor this weekend!
Panera John 09.02.2011
Typo… I’m SURE both lattes are delicious though – how can you go wrong with pumpkin? :)
Teresa 09.02.2011
Love the Panera pumpkin spice lattes! Can’t wait to see them on menu again.
Sara 09.02.2011
Oh, I love that outfit! It’s totally “fall.” Maybe I’ll finally give in to the skinny jean trend this fall and try it out.
kathleen 09.02.2011
i was a little apprehensive to read this post because your friday favorites from two weeks ago put a SERIOUS dent in my wallet! the jewelry from etsy was just TO DIE. {i now own the gold bracelet, alphabet charm necklace, and am coveting the alice and olivia dress}. thanks for sharing your fab style and loves, kristin!
Iowa Girl Eats 09.02.2011
AHHH – that is awesome!
robin 09.02.2011

Iowa Girl Eats 09.02.2011
Ebay does!
Alyse 09.02.2011
I can’t believe your hair used to be that long! I forgot it was.
I think that was the famous apple slurping video post, haha.
That dip looks amazing as does the tater soup.
Iowa Girl Eats 09.02.2011
Oh it was indeed. Eek.
Chloe (In Fine Feather) 09.02.2011

Hawkeye fans, are you ready for the BOOM? I am ready for some football. We will be at all Iowa games this Fall – home and away. Hope to see you tailgating at Kinnick!

Micah 09.02.2011
This weather sure feels like fall, doesn’t it? I’m so ready for college football. We’ll be on opposite sides though — I’m a Cyclone season ticket holder :)
