Tim Walker for Vogue, September 2012

It's odd how years after school has recessed into my past that I still get excited with the anticipation of the new year.  This time of year holds a stronger notion of new beginnings and fresh starts for me then the actual new year does.  I always itch for new projects in the first weeks of September and dive into work with new levels of motivation, focus and determination.  The past few weeks have been no different, and I cannot wait for the next few moths to unroll.  An especially exciting new development went into action this weekend and I'm so thrilled about it, that I can't sleep...well in theory...in reality I have been working so hard that I'm sleeping like a baby.

The only down side to Septembers arrival is that part of my love for fall was how amazing it looked, smelled and felt in the North East which I was pretty accustomed to after 34 years of living there.  This whole 102 degrees in September nonsense is upsetting.  And where are the colorful leaves???  Instead I have been turning to pinterest to gaze at photos of Autumn, until I saw the above Tim Walker stunner...which promptly made me forget about my missing leaves and get back to the business of fashion.  That's the beauty of photos, they'll still be there later.

I am completely obsessed with Pinterest...duh, who isn't?  I have all sorts of collections of photos going on over there, all though last night I had to clean them up a bit as I was putting duplicates all over the place...how embarrassing, I know! As we are in the thick of the season, I thought I would share my Autumn photos here...

Autumn PathwayThe last two days have been finally feeling like fall here in Austin...I am wearing a SWEATER!!  I was a bit sad when we came back from the cool temps of Colorado last week and it was down right hot here.  I also got sick...which is now not so bad as the weather plummeted to 50 and I'm sure I would have ended up sick anyway.  At least this way I'm already halfway over it.  and rambling.  So anyway...I'm all excited about fall and sweaters, slippers...blankets on the couch and Thea texts me a photo of her front yard covered in snow.  Which was when I realized that I never get to see the first snow of the year fall on the leaves and all of that magical and beautiful stuff anymore.  I was sad.  However, this morning I woke up to a text from my mom.  It snowed in Millbrook last night.  A month earlier then normal.  They are expecting an ice storm this weekend...

Wow, its amazing how quickly you can get over missing something! AND I can run around outside nice in toasty in a sweater.

I figure if I can't experience fall, I will at least live it though the blog...because I can.

I have a crazy busy next few days ahead of me, but filled with so many fun things that I'm all antsy with anticipation.  Tomorrow I am participating in Austins First Thursday, which I think is basically a bug party on South Congress where all the restaurants, shops, and locals pour out into the streets the first Thursday of each month and hang out.  If you're in the area, I have been approved to be in the Gibson Street Artists Market (by the dogs) so come by and visit!!

Friday I have a lunch meeting for a new project I am working on and then coffee with a new friend, squee!!

Saturday, Adam and I are off to South Padre to visit his parents and on Sunday, my sister Gillian arrives in South Padre too!!!  I'm so excited to see her, it's such a change to go from seeing family all the time to only every few months, if that.  I can't wait!!!
