Great post! I love all things fall and was excited yesterday for it to be September. Pluse we got our Hawkeye tickets in the mail last night from our friend who orders them for our group. We were like kids at Christmas when we opened them up. I am a bit bummed that the weather looks iffy tomorrow. Random fact, but my boyfriend and I saw James Vandenberg at Scheels at Coral Ridge a couple weeks ago. He is a cutie!

Love everything you listed…especially the outfit (where is that from?), EXCEPT the Hawkeyes. I grew up in eastern Iowa as a tortured Cyclone fan AND went to school there, so usually any Hawkeye is my mortal enemy but I like your blog so much I’ll make an exception! :-)

This might be my favorite Friday Favorite of yours to date! I have sooo many comments I want to make, but I’ll spare you. :) I think the only thing I disagree with you on here is your college football team. Wisconsin Badgers all the way! Goooo Bucky!! But I suppose you can’t help but root for your home team. The Wisco vs. Iowa game used to be such a great rivalry, I hate how they changed up the divisions! Happy Long Weekend!! :)
Brook @ Redhead Reverie 09.02.2011
I will be trying the soup and the donuts for sure!
I LOVED Fashion plates…it’s what made me want to be a fashion designer…however that dream faded into oblivion when I realized I couldn’t really draw.
And THE HAWKEYES! We are so ready for the season to start. The RV is packed and ready all I need is a Mike’s Hard Lemonade and I’m good to go! Are ya with me?
GO HAWKS!!!!
Kait @ One Love Run 09.02.2011

sarah k @ the pajama chef 09.02.2011

McKenzie 09.02.2011
Wow! Talk about taking me back AND making me hungry! I want to try the soup, the apple bites and that popcorn. And I had totally forgotten about the greatness that was fashion plates! Love the post!
Melissa 09.02.2011
I am loving your list! And that outfit? ObsessedX3 sounds about right . . .

You are a little sneaky genius!!
Anita 09.02.2011
I go to USC– so I have to cheer for the Trojans, obviously! Can’t wait for the game tomorrow.
Also I just have to say, that outfit is adorable!!! It’s enough to make me want to go shopping right this minute!
Lindsay @ biking before bed 09.02.2011
I love that your fall outfit includes a long champ bag! I think I finally need to retire mine and get one in a new fall color. My Favs this week include hay rides, hot apple cider and cocoa nibs.
AJ 09.02.2011
OMG. I had forgotten about Fashion Plates! Loved that when I was growing up.
One of my favorites this week: Just bought body lotion in the scent “Twilight” at Bath & Body Works. I very rarely go in that store, but last night I had a blast picking out some new, inexpensive, fun scents. I also got body mist in the “stress relief scent” – so fresh and clean.
Go Hawks! I got tickets for the U of I v. Michigan game. So excited.
AJ 09.02.2011
oh oops, the scent is “Twilight Woods”
sarah@spinach and spice 09.02.2011
