Shop the Pieces:

Wearing: Abercrombie is my JAM and I think their fall selection is the best I've seen yet. I placed a huge order of all the things I loved and was so surprised to see the quality! They have definitely upped their quality lately and I've been super impressed! Their sales are really good- right now, everything is 40% off all weekend!!! So you can score these pieces at crazy good prices. Above are some of the items I tried on as soon as I got my order this week and loved. I did notice that they have started to streamline their sizing better. Oftentimes, I would size up in their pieces but now, I find that sizing up usually makes things too big on me! I have a try-on of these outfits on instastories right now!

Drinking: While in Nashville I had the most amazing cocktail. It had lemon, lime, carpano bianco, gin, lambrusco, and basil. It was so light and refreshing!!! 

Reading: One of my favorite YA authors just released her newest book in the Thousandth Floor series, called The Towering Sky. I'm so excited to read it!!! 

Sale-ing: Oh gosh there are so many good sales going on right now for Labor Day weekend. Right now, Sephora is offering 15% off your purchase for VIB members. I wrote about my favorite things, here!  Ulta is also offering 20% off your purchase using code 679729. I'll have a post up tomorrow on the best of the Labor Day sales!

Watching: Is anyone else SO excited for the This Is Us premiere on September 25th?! I am! Not only is it a great show, but I am excited because the fall premieres always signal a new cozy season! 

Listening: At the Taylor Swift concert in Nashville, there were a few things different about her Reputation tour concert than that one that I attended in Pittsburgh. The first being Faith Hill and Tim McGraw made a special guest appearance and the other was that Taylor played a song called 'Better Man' which she wrote for Little Big Town. I'm not much of a country music person but I just love this song!!  

Loving: Have you guys seen this incredible pullover?! I am SO OBSESSED. I can't decide what color to get. I am thinking the olive green because I don't have a pullover in that color but I also love the contrast on the white one, the coziness of the red buffalo check and then the pretty mauve shade. AH! 

Wanting: This is aggressive considering it's not even September yet, but I have been absolutely loving the SAM brand puffer coats. Living in Pittsburgh, one of the things I don't mind splurging on is a really nice, warm, coat. I love the red color of this one! See more of my favorites in the widget above!

Pittsburgh-ing: My Pittsburgh Guide is updated! I hadn't updated it in a while and it's all up to date, so check it out if you are a Pittsburgher or making a trip! 

Smelling: This cedar and juniper candle smells incredible. It has a bit of a cozy fall vibe and the copper canister is adorable. I love fall scents, but at the same time, some of them are AWFUL (sometimes when I am smelling fall candles, I literally gag), so I'm always happy to share one that doesn't smell 'cheap' or 'fake'. I can't stand vanilla-y sweet candles or fake pumpkin scents.

Traveling: Next up is Charleston in a few weeks! Can't wait! My Nashville travel guide will be live next week. 

Quoting: 'The quieter you become, the more you can hear.' // See more of my favorites, here.
