Desert Leaves
Oh, I have so many things to tell you about. First, Spotted Moth was so incredibly kind to send me some of their gorgeous new fall pieces and I waited about five minutes before tearing open the packages and slipping on my new boots! Ever since I bought Cole a pair of desert boots, I've been dying for my own and I must say they were worth the wait. Second, I walked into my local Target store today and nearly ran right into the Mulberry for Target display. Now I know I've been living under a rock lately, but how did I not know about this!!! Most of the items were sold out, but I managed to snag this adorable little bag. And last but not least, Cole is still sick as a dog. After yesterday's long tiring day, he was totally wiped out and spent most of today resting in bed with me bringing him endless cups of tea, toast and tissues. He has his last final on Friday evening (what kind of cruel professor schedules a final on a Friday night at the end of the quarter!) and then will be done for a week. But of course, during his break he has three more interviews lined up. Busy, busy man! Oh, and I almost forgot...my big sis arrives tomorrow!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their sweet and supportive comments on yesterday's post. Thanks to your well wishes, I'm doing a bit better today!
Yours,
Oh, my gosh! Does that bag hold anything at all? It's so tiny but adorable!
That sweater looks so great on you. Who knew it was made for a man?!
Take care of yourself. You don't want to get sick, too.
You're such a good care taker. Hopefully Cole will be feeling better by Friday. Being sick and studying does not sound like fun at all. Although tea in bed does.
That cardigan looks so comfortable. I'm looking for some chunky nude knits for this chilly weather.
Have fun with your sister! Are we going to get pictures??

You're a good wife! Darin and I were sick in bed with food poisoning all day together yesterday. It was nice to take care of one another.
I was in Target and today and almost bought that bag! I might grab the one that's a size up, but it's twice the price! I mean, wha??
Look at all your spotted moth goodies, you lucky thing! (Isn't their packaging the best?) I've had my eye on those boots, and while they aren't exactly spring appropriate, I might have to get some for next autumn here! You look lovely Maria, as always.

PS. All the best for poor Cole - I have my first end of semester exam next friday night! It's cruel!
I'm jealous of all your Spotted Moth things.
Cole must be a great student if he is getting so many interviews.
Man, your makeup looks great today! I'm pumped to see what you got in the mail!
Hope the fella feels better soon.

Argh I've been wanting a pair of desert boots just like these, lucky girl!
Love the color intensity on these shots and hey really hope Cole is doing better and can manage all that's ahead.

Love this casual outfit. Looks so cozy! I guess I'm living under a rock too, had no clue about the Mulberry for Target line. Is anything else in the line good?
Sounds like a fun day... but poor Cole. I wish him all the best!

i'm definitely running into my local target to pick up a mulberry bag tomorrow. i've been avoiding target (to give my wallet a break) so i had no idea this was happening!
i also love this outfit. you look so beautiful in that shade of lipstick and i want to steal those shoes. xo
Mulberry for target?! Whaaa? I had no idea. I've been thinking of buying those boots you're wearing, you know. Oh and also, you look adorable. xx
Those boots are so fab! You lucky lady you!
I just love this outfit, the cardigan is great !
Your hair is getting so long and I love your natural curls. Glad you're feeling a bit better today.
Those boots are just right for autumn and kicking through leaves, lovely. And I am a big fan of the snuggle cable knit cardi too.

I love the little bag ! That's a shame that Target does not exist in France...!
You look so darling! I love your jean posts because I periodically like to wear pants but never know how to dress them up.
It is good to hear you're feeling better and I hope Cole feels better soon, too!
Your boots are just a dream. Very classic and chic outfit. Now that is how to style jeans! :)

Wow! Awesome outfit as usual!
Love the outfit, it looks very cosy. I'm totally in love with those desert boots, they are amazing. All my get well wishes for cole and have fun with your sister :)
the boots are wicked cute as is that bag...I must be living under a rock as well because I had no idea about the mulberry line, might need to pop into my target to see if any goodies are left.
love the cardigan !
Maria,
I just started reading your blog, and I think we're soul sisters! Adore your impeccable sense of style, sweet drawings, and ever-lovable Wellington (I've always wanted a pug named Watson!) If you'd like, please check me out at: primandpoesie.wordpress.com, or my custom portraits at primandpoesie.etsy.com (I'm new to the blogging thing, and need all the help I can get!)

This post makes me long for a leisurely walk in the woods all bundled up! The backdrop of these photos is stellar. - Katy
Woooow I really love that cardigan and it is so perfect with the bag =) Oh and the shoes too, the whole outfit is lovely! It was so kind of Spotted Moth to send you them =D

ooh love the cardigan! I have a similar one that I wear with dresses, but now thinking I should dig my jeans back out, love your look :)
This is very sweet. I love the cozy feel to it. Again, these make me want to go to michigan to see what it's like!
Maria, I hope you don't mind that I am going to post it up on my tumblr for my modesty promoting! I have a contest giveaway I'm running on it right now and am hoping I get more entries (hoping for at least 35, only been sent 2 so far). I have more info on my blog about the giveaway but it is connected to my tumblr. Maybe you could even help spread the word for me on your blog? or is that asking for too much. my blog: http://tiedemanntribe.blogspot.com here's the tumblr: http://rubyeyedokapi.tumblr.com/
Sincerely,
Victoria
Great sweater! I want to curl up in it right now while drinking my morning coffee!
love this casual and cozy look! Love the shoes! I've been wanting a pair of desert boots like that but in wedges, might have to reconsider ^.~
Great booties! Totally jealous!

Oh I knew about Mulberry for Target, but I just didn't know when... I guess I've missed you, but I have way too many bags already. Eeeep. Aww boots! Nice! I need combat boots or duck boots. The weather is starting to get cold and I'm going to need warm footwear to keep me going! Oh I hope Cole recovers soon! Good luck on his finals too!
I actually got my shearling jacket from H&M for $30! It's quite a deal, I had to have it! It's really warm and I've been wanting one for so long. They've always been so pricey, so thank you H&M!!! :)
Maria, I LOVE this outfit! It looks so autumny & snuggly. & the boots are HEAVEN. I'll be checking 'em out on Spotted Moth meself now :]
Maria, you look awesome! I love your hair like this too! :):)
I adore that sweater!!
wow i would love to get something cool like that from a shop. your pics are adorable!
Very nice!
I missed that at Target for a long time too. And I LOVE Target.
i love those boots! i'm a sucker for brown leather....esp suede!
have fun with your sister! hope we get to see pics. and hope cole feels better soon! :)
So cute, Maria! Love it. Sorry the hubby isn't feeling well. And sorry you weren't doing so good the other day! Glad you're better now, though. Like you said, life is short so try not be down for too long. :) Have a blessed day!

Supercute bag, lovely photos Maria! xxx
eeee! That bag! I need to go to Target right now! I love those shoes too.

Janelle
nice look so retro I love
Love the cable sweater and the bag! I thought it was the only one worth getting from the Mulberry for Target collection, of course without that awful keychain!
Hi Maria, your outfit is so lovely and your shoes are so pretty! I am loving those kinds of shoes right now! I have similar black ones from Urban Outfitters!
I hope Cole will get better very soon, it's not really great being sick when you are so busy with important things in life :(
I wish we had Target up here! Argh!!!
Hope that Cole feels better soon!
I've been looking for a chunky cable knit sweater that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! So jealous! ;) I also love cuffed jeans with boots- definitely one of my cold weather staples!

I love yur cardi, bang on for the camel trend
I just found your blog and have been looking through it for about 45 minutes now! I just love your style.
But I thought I would comment on this one because I just got a pair of desert boots myself, of course these were gifted from my brother... I still love mine though (:

love your fall look, maria.
I almost bought a sweater JUST like this yesterday. But then I didn't. And now I regret it. Ugh, shopper's remorse strikes again. You look adorable, love the look head to toe!
xoxo, Ashley
both the shoes and bag are great Maria! love their packaging too!
I'm so jealous! I want one of those bags but there are no Target stores where I live =(... Lovely boots btw! xx
