Lemon Drops and Gum Drops

Today pants seemed like a good idea to Jess and I. The weather is definitely fall now--you know that time of year when the air is cold, but the sun is still warm? Well that's exactly what it's like here in Minnesota :) I'm just very excited to have the colder weather! I pulled down my winter clothes from the closet this afternoon and put them in my closet, feeling so happy to see them all again. I just love that during the winter I can layer--cardigans, belts, dresses, tights, just the excitement of endless possible combinations!

What do you think is this season's most essential article of clothing?

A Title...Not a Status.

Greetings!
Welp. I think it is safe to say that our dear friend, Autumn, has arrived. In full force too! Fall is one of the most beautiful times in the Midwest, and unfortunately, it is one of the shortest seasons. sigh.
In other news, all I want to wear this season is, Navy Blue, Red, Camel, Chocolate, Black and Grey. That is the gist of my fall/winter wardrobe. So get ready to see that palate and lots of it... Also. I think I will post a picture of me in my Caribou Coffee uniform, because in all, heartbreaking, reality, THAT is my fall/winter wardrobe.
*heavy sigh*
Oh, so about this outfit.
I love it.
No really...it's true. I do. :) We took these pictures yesterday after tea and the truth is...I wore that blue skirt two days in a row. *Horrified GASP*
Yes. I, Jessica of Two for Tea, am an outfit repeater. I'm over it...are you? ;)
Good.
So...
I just love this skirt so much! It's from H&M and has pockets. Feel free to swoon and run out to buy one yourself. (like Cambria did...her's is tan!)
And these boots! Yes. They are nice...very nice. :) No other words needed.


Love,
Jess
P.S. The proof is in the pictures... I love trees. And I love to hug them. :)

Two for Tea has Tea at Two!!!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen *dramatic pause*...you read that correctly...your friendly bloggers at Two for Tea had tea at two o' clock today :D Our lovely blogging companion, Miss Shasta from The Travelling Cabinet, invited us to her abode for scones and tea with milk this afternoon. Oh happy day of workers' solidarity!

The scones were oh-so-delicious orange and cranberry, made with heaps of cream and butter :) Shasta shared her European teas with us (Jess had lemon and myrtle and I had pear) and we chatted merrily away over our steaming cups. It worked out quite nicely, what with today's temperature drop...dear heavens, but it was chilly!

We finished of the afternoon with an hour of thrifting, then sadly parted ways so Jess could have dinner with her family and I could finish my mounds of homework. Speaking of which--I need prayer because it's completely overwhelming :P

Anywho, dashing off to bed so I can be up for my history thesis class bright and early! Bunches of love <3

Bobbing for {Russet} Apples

Humm te tumm...it's been quite the week...getting into the rhythm of another year and season! Dear Jessica has been suffering acutely from Caribou-Drive-In-Backache Syndrome, and I have been constantly and agonizingly inflicted with More-Homework-Than-Fits-My-Schedule-itis. Next week should be better, however, and thus contain more consistent blog posts *moment of embarrassment*

That said, my other and lovely roommate Caitlin and I managed to squeak in a trip to the nearby mall today. When (finally!) an H&M opens in your neighborhood--well, it's an event worth spending your measly two hours of weekend freedom on :) Plus I had a little birthday money, so I replaced my favourite dress (succumbed to a terrible rip last year) with this fall's revamp...*follow this blog and you'll see it soon*

Speaking of this fall, this season's selection at H&M is absolutely fabulous, just let me tell you! Jess, Caitlin, and I--who definitely have varying styles--all fell head over heels for a little russet number. Picture a long-sleeve, silky-soft light-weight sweater with the perfect crew-neck cut and (very British) soft, brown leather elbow patches. To top it all off, said elbow patches were top-stitched. Heaven. *Read those last sentences and tell me you've ever such a highly-concentrated hyphenated vocabulary*

Besides the little russet number, we found some darling ruched-sleeved shirts, big pocket swing skirts, a ballet pink cardigan and some leopard print. In the end, we restrained ourselves (college student budget). But you can see Jess' new skirt in today's outfit pics :D

How Adorable...Matching :)

Well, I don't have good pictures of this...the sun-glare on the camera display screen made it hard to see picture quality when we took the shots. Buuuuut in theory they were great photos--especially next to this darling little wrought-iron door! Jess and I didn't INTEND to wear matching clothes today, but we look rather similar :D

We just chilled at a coffee shop (drinking bottomless iced tea) and watched all the "interesting" styles go past...Let me tell you, liberal private colleges make for the best fashion! There is just a demographic of super artsy, chic, retro people who love talking philosophy and world relief while sipping soy lattes and eating goat cheese scones :) Sometime I ought to post creeper pics!!!

Where is your favourite place to people watch?

Sunday...Yes. Sunday.

Well this post finds me in a rather blue mood :( I am currently missing my darling Jessica VERY MUCH...it's really sinking in that she's not my official roommate for the semester. I keep thinking about our outfit convos in the morning, catching meals together during the week, and having homework time and bed chats before falling asleep. Oooooooh it's just not as much fun blogging from two separate computers in two separate rooms in two very separate houses!!!

Anywho, enough from me...who have YOU been missing lately and why?

{p.s. One great thing...these earrings!!! I've been dying to wear them and just adore their fun vintage style...girl can't go wrong with pearls, esp for $3}
