When I am in heaven, it will be September and October, over and over again. Scarfs and halloween and that first night you need a coat. And the note you find in the pocket, from the boy you want it to be from.

Fall take my heart.
wow. if i weren't getting married in 1 month, I'd do a massive post on fall fashion. but I'm tired and I don't have time. instead I will just mention what great pleasure the september issue of vogue has brought me today. I live for fall. The colors, the textures, the smells, the feeling of something leaving us behind. Something dying, something reborn. I can still smell new pencils and brand new clothes and the anticipation of that which goes into the first few weeks of school starting again. Cider mills, wool skirts, tights. Jack o' lanterns, leather jackets.
When I am in heaven, it will be September and October, over and over again. Scarfs and halloween and that first night you need a coat. And the note you find in the pocket, from the boy you want it to be from.

Roller Derby, Wedding Showers and a Fashion Guerilla Garage Sale
I have had no time to update lately.
I joined the Ann Arbor Roller Derby, and we started practice last week. We practice 3 times a week, it's pretty intense. It does however, make me really, really happy. These girls I am getting to know, are the most amazing, determined dedicated women I have ever met. It's really changing my life and giving me confidence in ways I never had. Derby <3

I look pretty exhausted here, but what can I say, I was! First week of practice, sunday morning, 10 a.m. But I was having way more fun than it looks like, really.
I also had my bridal shower this past weekend. It was at Frenchie's in Ypsilanti, and we had a very lovely time! I have such wonderful friends and family. I felt like such a lucky girl!
Because my wedding is less than 2 months away (aaaahhh!!!) and I still have my own dress to finish, as well as 1 more bridesmaids dress and a few alterations, not to mention all the other last minute details (aaaahhhh!!!), I am doing my very last fashion related thing (until after we get back from the honeymoon mid-october) this coming saturday August 14th. I was fortunate to receive an invitation to be a guest designer at the 2nd Annual Fashion Garage Sale, which was organized by local design labels, Peace Love Spandex, Wound Menswear and Femilia Couture. Details for the event are here.
