fall. Oh hey, you know, just the thing that pretty much every blogger is talking (or shall I say writing?) about these days. But that's okay, I love it anyway. Especially since it gives me a justified reason to have my space heater on at all times. It's a little silly to have it on in summer, I know, but I can't help always feeling cold.
new shoes. Courteousy of a sweet older lady at church. They're perfect.
haircuts. This afternoon I headed for the salon. My favorite part? Having my hair washed. Pure bliss. (is that creepy?) I was long overdue for this cut -- it's a bit shorter than I would've liked it, but after playing with it and styling it different ways, it's growing on me. Thoughts?
And yes, I changed my shirt in between photos. It's how I roll.
sunrise drives. When the sun comes creeping up from behind the horizon, spilling the first rays of light over the landscape, that's where I want to be.
mini-sized outfit shoots. I seriously don't think there's anything more adorable than tiny sized fashion shoots. Most adorable thing ever. And as for Lilly...well, she likes it too ;)
iced coffee. Because I'm all for drinking cold drinks when it's frosty outside and warm drinks when it's sweltering outside. It's all about the opposites, baby. But in all seriousness, I've found myself making iced coffee nearly every afternoon. It's just that delicious -- and easy. Want to make one of your own?
You'll need approximately one cup cold brewed coffee, 1/4 - 1/2 cup milk, ice cubes, sugar to taste, and ice cream. I like to put in my ice cubes in first, pour in the coffee, add the milk and sugar, then the ice cream. Mmm.
What are some things you've been really liking lately?
xoxo















i love your loves.

Having someone wash my hair is one of my most favorite things in the world. A few years ago I was a teacher overseas. There was a hair salon down the street from the school. As a reward to myself at the end of a long week of teaching I would go to the salon just to have them wash and dry my hair. Pure bliss indeed.
ReplyDeleteLove the haircut, Carlotta!!!
ReplyDeletelike the haircut. like how the ice coffee looks. like the first picture. and i like writing right now, especially since national novel writing month is a comin' up. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo, Carlotta, you're not creepy because you like getting your hair washed - I love it, too. If that is creepy, we can be creepy together ;)
ReplyDeleteThis post was so nice! Loved it.
liking your likes. and the hair? loving it.

ReplyDeleteFunny that, I just got my haircut! I have to agree with you there....I loved getting my hair washed.... although the sink I leaned back on was uncomfortable! Would you believe I hadn't got a haircut at the hair salon for over three years!
Your little sister is soooo cute!

ReplyDeleteOh, and I had an ice coffee for lunch this afternoon! I make them every so often and like them too : )
Have a lovely weekend!

Lately I've been liking your littler sister! She's adorable! But... aside from the creeper stuff, I've been liking new dresses, fall vacation, chocolate cake, long talks with friends on the phone, long overdue rain and coldness, pumpkins. And I love your haircut! It looks great on you, and it's always nice to have a fresh look.
ReplyDeleteI love you new hair cut!! Nope, not creepy I love getting my hair washed at the salon too!!
ReplyDeleteYour haircut style looks like mine. I got my hair chopped off at shoulder length and long layers.
ReplyDeleteI love sunsets, I think they are just magical.
The mini-outfit photo shoot is cute! LIlly is cute in the outfit, I love her smiles. :)
Lovely haircut! Your necklace was really pretty too :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been loving having hilarious conversations with my friends on skype, the new television show Pan Am and getting to drink tea more often now that the weater is getting colder... <3

@carlotta - I love your haircut! I actually just got mine cut... and it looks EXACTLY like yours :) @alli - got shoulder length and long layers, too :)
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes. I would very much like to have those shoes. :) :)
I love this post!!! It's one of my favorites you've done recently for many reasons! But I have a question! How do you keep the coffee from melting all the ice and ice cream?
ReplyDeleteI love your new haircut Carlotta! I had long hair that I just got cut to a bit shorter than you, and I really like it too. But now I'm growing it out again and thinking of maybe getting bangs :))
ReplyDeleteThe chalkboard photos you do are amazing! I'll have to try it sometime.
I don't drink coffee, but the iced coffee looks so delicious, especially with that ice cream :)
~Simi
I do love your hair! It's very pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteSome things that make me happy are when I finish a school project, going out to eat with my friends and also sweaters. I love sweaters! <3 Hope you have a lovely weekend.
that iced coffee looks like a rootbeer float and now im craving one so bad! Love the hair makes you look very sophisticated!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the new hair-cut! You look so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say I love that first picture, you are such a creative photographer, dear!
Blessings,

ReplyDeleteLove this post! It's defiintely autumn-filled! ... Your little sis is adorable... and there's nothin' like getting gifts from sweet older ladies at church. =) Great haircut too!
ReplyDeleteYour hair cut looks amazing,girl!! Seriously you look so much older! And it's so cute!!! That coffee looks and sounds so good. And lilly, shes pretty much always cute :)
ReplyDeletei really don't want you to take this offensively at all, but your hair cut makes you look younger, I think. but, I do really like it. ;) for the 50 millionth time your sister is too cute.
ReplyDelete"And yes, I changed my shirt in between photos. It's how I roll." I'm sorry, it was just really funny. :D
I love this post! All of the pictures are beautiful. I also love your new haircut! It's super cute; and your little sister is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love the haircut! I am thinking of getting one myself. Only problem is that I can't help but go dramatic when I do... which isn't always good says the one who had chin length hair for maybe 3 years. Shudder! Chin length is not for me.

Beautiful post Carlotta! Autumn is a special time of year. I have always loved it.
ReplyDeleteYour haircut really suits you. B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!
I got a new cut yesterday too. It feels nice to have a fresh cut doesn't it?
I think your new haircut looks cute!
ReplyDeletegirly, i just wanted to tell you that your hair looks much better than before. it was starting to look kinda scraggly... it was getting overly long. so let me say this again >> your hair looks so darn beautiful. i don't think you're hair could look better. and i'm literally serious!
