1. Costume Shop Workers.
Halloween costume shop workers are hilarious when they stand on street corners holding signs. They look ridiculous and I'm sure they feel ridiculous because they are standing at insanely crowded intersections dressed as 'monsters'.
2. Colorful Scarves. Enough said.

I can walk into Harris Teeter and see an adorable, painted face "Fire Chief" pumpkin with a plastic hat [thank you China]. It was precious and any small child will want it.
4. UGG Boots.
That's right, I just spoke the unforgiveable. I happen to own three pairs of UGG's and everyday I thank UGG for making it socially acceptable for women to wear shoes more comfortable than bedroom slippers out in public.

Don't tell my husband, but I do enjoy watching the men get excited about something once in a while. Plus the food at tailgates always taste better because you're breaking bread with friends and family.
6. Baking Brownies.
When the weather outside is less than appealing, it just makes me want to bake. For the past two weeks I have been looking for any excuse to make brownies.

It is socially acceptable to start thinking about the holidays and Christmas.
8. Mountains of Leaves.
One of my favorite memories is when my grandma and grandpa made piles and piles of leaves for me to jump in after school. It was one of the best days of my life and I will always remember it.

It doesn't officially feel like fall to me until I've had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season. Some days there is just nothing better than going to Starbucks and sipping on that delicious foamy latte.

I love rainy days that forces me to snuggle up on the couch, light a candle, and put on a good movie, read a good book, or watch NCIS.
11. Vibrant Leaves.

God's creation is so beautiful when the leaves change color and fall on the ground. Everything looks so magical and the scenery makes fantastic photographs.
12. Cozy Sweaters and Sweatshirts.
Pulling out the box that has been hiding my sweaters and sweatshirts all summer. Seeing them again just excites me about the comfort I will feel wearing them.
13. Peacock Tutu Costume.
And.....finally, the cutest halloween costume I have ever seen was a peacock costume from Pottery Barn Kids and I swear it made me want to be a mother on the spot. [Side note: For those of you who know me well, I do not say this lightly.]
