The Patch: Season One

If I had to pick a season that is my favorite, I would have to say that Fall is my favorite time of the year.  Of course, I love winter because that's when Christmas is, but there is just something special about the fall time.  I feel that Fall is wonderful because it is when school starts and so you can get all your school supplies.  The weather is just cooling off, but it's still warm. Fall slowly starts to lead us into the "Holiday Season".  The leaves start to change (Well... in other parts of the country. Not in LA.). You can pull out the boots and scarves. You can go to Pumpkin Patches. Thanksgiving comes and you can eat as much turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy as you can fit in your stomach. And then once that is over, the Christmas season has arrived!

Well, yesterday, my friends and I decided to go to a pumpkin patch and all get pumpkins! There was just something about being able to go out with friends and dress up in boots and scarves and enjoy the fact that fall was here.

Doesn't this kind of look like a "How I Met Your Mother"/"Friends" type photo? 

Couldn't resist to not put this photo up of the two couples. Aren't we just adorable?!
Oh, here's a little side note. Kelley and I have been friends since the first day of Freshman year at choir camp!
We still remain great friends and we're even roommates!

We found our "perfect pumpkin"!

We took over the hay stack.

So what are all of your favorite fall activities? And your favorite parts about fall?

Fall Time in LA

I've grown up in Northern California and had lived there up until I moved down to Southern California for college a few years ago.  There's no way to pick which part of California is better, because they both have their pros and cons.

As of right now, obviously Northern California is better because:

1. The San Francisco Giants are just doing AMAZING right now.
2. It's actually cold enough starting in September to wear boots, jackets, and scarves. 
3. There is no smog.
4. It rains there a lot.
5. It's home for me.

However, I really do like living in Southern California because:

1. I'm at an AMAZING school that I absolutely just love!
2. I've made some really great friendships since I've been living down here.
3. It's warm so I can wear shorts in the middle of October... sometimes up until the beginning of November.
4. Disneyland is near and I get to go for free every year when my choir sings.
5. I can go to the beach anytime I want from March - November. 

Right now though, I really do being able to wake up, put on jeans, crazy looking socks (right now, my dinosaur knee high socks are my favorite!), a nice warm pair of boots, a cute top or sweater, and a bright colored scarf. This past week, it was nice and cool. I did even pull out the rain boots and the North Face fleece jacket and rain jacket, however somehow it has managed to get back up in the high 80's, low 90's!  I really just wish that the weather would cool off, that way I'm not sleeping with the fan on at night or having the AC on during the day... in the middle of October. 

What's not to love about wearing an outfit
like this when it's chilly outside?

Fall is definitely my favorite season, because it's when the holiday season begins.  I can't feel like the holiday season is approaching because 90 degrees does not equal fall time for me.
