The Blended Blog Asks: Fall 2.0


It's actually, kinda starting to feel like fall around here. The days are warm but not crazy warm and the nights are cool enough to open the windows.  Running Daddy calls my need to open the windows are soon as I think the temperatures have dropped enough my "Yankee Sensibility." Since it's the first Monday of the month I am linking up with The Blended Blog to talk Fall 2.0. Feel free to leave any of your Good thoughts about fall in the comments below.

1) Favorite Fall Color

I absolutely love a Good burgundy color. It's really one of my Best colors and always one I reach for both in clothing and beauty.


I used to wear an awesome burgundy lip color from MAC called Xtreme and they no longer make it. They probably have not made it for over a decade and I am still thinking about it. Boooo. My old standby in the fall is now Black Honey by Clinique. I don't think they will stop making this any time soon or hopefully ever because my understanding is that is one of their Best sellers. It goes on much sheerer than it looks and if you want a more bold look you can always use a matching liner before you put on the lipstick. Bonus alert: both Macy's and Nordstrom are having Bonus time right now. I do think the one at Macy's is the Better offer.

For clothing, here are some burgundy options I am loving this fall:

How are feeling about cropped wide leg pants? I am kind of on the fence about them but really like these.

This open cardigan would look really Good with jeans or grey pants for work and it's currently on sale. This cardigan is a steal at $39.99 to $49.50 depending on color.

2) Apple Cider Hot or Cold?

I will drink cider cold but really prefer it hot. Hockey Guy drinks a lot of warm cider after games. I also like it warm when I don't feel well and find a warm cider with a little bit of rum before bed really helps a cough.

3) Caramel Apple: Yes or No?

Oh yes please!

4) Pumpkin Donut or Apple Cider Donut?

Considering I have not been able to have a real donut in over 8 years, at this point I would take either. I do prefer an apple cider donut.

5) Long or Short Cardigan?

I am going with short. I really like the look of a long cardigan on other people but they don't look Good on me for some reason. They kind of wear me. Every time I bring one home the boys totally nix it and tell me it looks like I am wearing a bathrobe. Not sure if it is because I am not super tall or because I have small shoulders, but I am sticking with shorter cardigans for now.

6) Favorite football or fall party food?

Give me all the guacamole and chips or a Good chili and chips.

7) Orange or White Pumpkins?

I love to go traditional. Orange pumpkins all the way.

8) Hayride or Bonfire?

I am all about a Good bonfire or fire pit. Our neighbors usually have the fire pit going on Halloween and it is so fun. We have a propane fire pit and it's time to start cranking it up.

9) Favorite Fall Baked Good?

There is a gluten free bakery near where we live called the Happy Tart  and in the fall they make the Best gluten free pumpkin roll. Sweet and spicy cake, cream cheese filling without the gluten. Pure bliss.

10) Most Anticipated Fall Activity?

This would have to be setting up our Spooky Walk for Halloween. We build a path between our neighbors' house that is spooky and not gory or scary. Our house has become a destination house in the neighborhood with a light show and a soundtrack.  We look forward to it every year.

We are also looking forward to the 5K race that Running Daddy helped to found at Hockey Guy's school. I am proud Good Better Best is a sponsor again this year and we will have a mile marker sign again!

That's what we have going on for the fall. Leave your fall favorites in the comments below.

    1. It is. Luckily the bakery is a little bit of a drive, so it is only a once a season treat. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

    1. Hi Ann,

      Thanks for stopping by and for the follow! You know that it is a Good shade of lipstick when you are still thinking about it decades later. I should go talk to the MAC counter and see if I can find a shade that is close.

      Hope you are having a Good week!
