Friday Five Fave - October 5th

Wow! It's been a week since I've posted anything.  I have a few partially completed posts from this week just sitting as drafts and hopefully I'll be able to publish them on my blog within the upcoming week.  I'm battling some sort of bug and both Dan and I have been completely exhausted with upset tummies the last few weeks.  It's Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday so that means I'll have a long weekend.  I'm planning on visiting family (my parents just brought home a chocolate lab puppy yesterday, I'll take pics) and taking long naps.

Today Friday Five Fave is going to be autumn themed because it's my favourite season and global warming is depriving me of my cool autumn days/evenings.  It's 19 degrees outside right now...that's not cool :( 

1. Acorn Earrings by Layla Amber

Everything in Layla Amber's etsy store is adorable but I'm particularly fond of these acorn studs (and this ship in a bottle necklace)

2. David's Tea Fall Collection

Man does the Pumpkin Chai smell good.  A part of me wants to pick out the pumpkin candies and caramel bits so that I can drink this.  Alas, I'll just stick to the banana nut bread and organic persian apple.  But I reserve the right smell the Pumpkin Chai when I'm in a David's Tea.

3. Dogs in Sweaters

Colder weather means that I can dress my puppy up in fancy fall fashions.  Babies & Beasts is where I go when I need to purchase warmer wear for Arthur.  It's made by a Frenchie owner to specifically fit a Frenchie's awkwardly shaped body.  I bought a winter jacket for Arthur last year and even though he was a growing puppy at the time, it still fits his current frame.

The handsome little man modelling this turtleneck is named Tank.  Sometimes he plays with Arthur at daycare.

4.PUMPKIN everything

Sorry for anyone who lives in Toronto and needs pumpkin puree but I think the entire city stock is now at my house.  I've been putting pumpkin in everything.  Pumpkin soup, pumpkin "milk" shakes, spicy pumpkin fritters, and any sort of pumpkin dessert you can imagine.  With it being Thanksgiving this weekend I'm definitely making my favourite vegan pumpkin pie recipe from the Whole Foods website.  And don't forget about delicious pumpkin beer.

5. Won't You Be My Neighborhood? Dress by Elsie from A Beautiful Mess for Modcloth

Why does this scream Autumn to me? Perhaps it's the cute little orange house or maybe it's because I can picture wearing it with autumn coloured tights and a cardigan.  Whatever the reason, I'd love to add this dress to my fall wardrobe. 

Thanks for stopping by!
