Favorite Things: October 2012

I'm jumping on the bandwagon and sharing a few of my favorite things this month. I figure since I love reading posts like this, why not create my own? 

The Mindy Project - I don't watch The Office, but fell in love with Mindy when I read her book (Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?) back in December. I felt an instant connection to her humor and love of romantic comedies and was delighted to hear she'd have her own show this fall. Let me tell you, it does not disappoint! Tune in for 30 minutes that feels like a romantic comedy in a tiny package. 

Babel by Mumford & Sons - Oh, how Mumford & Sons sing to my soul. Their first album is still in constant rotation, and this new album has been keeping me sane during long workdays and road trips. My favorite track is "Below My Feet", because the lyrics are so beautiful: Keep the earth below my feet /For all my sweat, my blood runs weak /Let me learn from where I have been /Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn

Bahama Mama nail polish - Though I will never "need" another nail polish, that certainly doesn't stop me from purchasing them. I recently ran across Essie's Bahama Mama shade at my local CVS, and it's actually the perfect maroon color without being too dark or too purple. I'm definitely going to wear it a lot this fall & winter. 

Bubble necklace - I'd been seeing bubble necklaces a lot around Pinterest & blogs, but ran into a beautiful display in person at Eastern Market this past weekend. I snagged this turquoise gem, and have worn it several times since. I love how it makes my striped shirts (of which I have many) a little dressier and part of a pulled together look. 

Wild by Cheryl Stayed - I'm the least outdoorsy person I know, so I wondered if this book, which is about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, would lose my interest with it's backpacking lingo and descriptions of trees. Imagine my surprise when I was taken on an adventure of a woman healing herself after her mother's death and a painful divorce. I highly recommend this book.

What are your favorites this month?

Your bubble necklace is so pretty! I've been keeping my eye out for a perfect one since I currently have zero statement necklaces, but I've yet to find the perfect one.

Loving Babel as well!
