Feels Like Autumn

It's officially autumn....

Baseball season is over. I'm wearing a cable-knit sweater. And boots. The heat is on at my house. I wore my winter coat this weekend (and not just because it's Cardinal red). And this morning it was still dark when I woke up.

I like fall, really I do. Halloween, Thanksgiving, tailgating, cozy sweaters, Oktoberfest, pumpkin beer, fires... all great. But I'm not ready to be cold all the time and scraping ice off my car in the morning. Can we please rewind a little bit? Or at least pause before it gets any colder around here?

"It's funny how you can turn a baseball cap around and throw on some D&G glasses, and all the sudden the intimidating-closer-with-a-97-mph fastball beard becomes a laid-back-grad-student-who-plays-guitar-in-the-quad beard."

So true.

Eleven in Eleven

My Cardinals won the World Series. In case you didn't already know.








It's been a crazy ride the last couple of weeks and I can't believe it's all over.... and that we won. What blows me away is that this roster, these names, are ones that people will always remember. Freese, Carpenter, Pujols, Berkman, Craig, Motte... kids will grow up and remember back in 2011 when they were the best team in baseball. David Freese's walk off home run in game 6 will be played on highlight reels forever... and he's just a kid from Lafayette High School. It's nuts.

Speaking of nuts... RALLY SQUIRREL.

Anna Kournikova on Graham Norton Show with Brojanica

BBC One's Graham Norton show features lovely Anna Kournikova. She is wearing a black Orthodox prayer bracelet, also referred to as a Brojanica.

The funny thing is her other East European Tennis Colleagues also wear one. Just do a search on this blog for Novak Djokovic, Jelena Jankovic and Anna Ivanovic.

I'm no good, but I'll give myself at A for effort. Plus, the beers and atmosphere (and company) make for a good time.

Trendy Fashion - American Apparel Flea market

Hey dolls! 
 So last thursday I went up to Brick lane because there was an American Apparel flea market on! (up 90% off everything) It was on till tuesday and I wanted to get this post up as a 'heads up' and tell you guys to go but I again could'nt get round to it! 
 It was MENTAL! I went with the boy and we waited in the queue for about an hour which winded its way up brick lane and moved quite slowly. When we eventualy got in it was mayhem! Girls, boys, clothes flying around everywhere, sections which were apparently changing rooms (you saw the odd flash of bum), The queue wound round the whole room. I looked around for about half an hour, the clothes that were there wernt the BEST of the clothes AA do but if you looked properly you could find some gems. Then we waited in the queue to pay for about 40 minutes, GOSH!
 They advertised it as a massive sale, 90% off, loads of things for £1, in reality most things were around £15/20 and only the nail polishes were £1 but still I figured the amount all these clothes will come to is the equivalent of about 2 things when you go in the actual store! 
 So above is what I got my hands on! I wonder if any of you guys went or heard about it?

I've exciting news, I'm PREGNANT and will become a mommyyy! During the last two months I was so tired, sleepy and exhausted that I couldn't brace myself up for anything, not even for shopping. That's why I didn't post any outfits lately. But the good thing is, I saved a lot of money during this shopping abstinence. And last week, in my 13th week of pregnancy, when the doctor told me that everything is fine with the baby, I took a day off and went for shopping to Düsseldorf. And above you can see the result of my shopping excess. Now that I'm going to become a mommy I thought I can finally add some more classy items to my closet.
