Our Doubts are Traitors

Today I'm reminded that you cannot accomplish anything without first attempting. 

Wish I was Here Wednesday

On the water

or up in the air 

or in the trees 

Ode to the Rain

Just a little ode in honor of the first real rain in Portland this Fall

and a reminder to myself about why I named my blog "Dancing in the Rain."

Paislea's Fall Favorites

Please welcome Paislea from Allisterbee, one of my favorite blogs, to the guest post series:
i do have to admit that i am so excited for fall. and now that we're a few weeks into september, the warm weather is dwindling down. some of my favorite fall things include: pumpkins, turning leaves and warm jackets. but i do have to admit that my most favorite part of fall are the huge, comfy, wool socks that i get to pull out of the back of my sock drawer.

at home in sweat pants and pajamas, or out on the town under knee high boots and dresses- i love love love cozy socks. i love how socks are becoming more "appropriate" to wear over tights and under boots so the little tops of them poke out. i love curling up on the couch with little shorts, a oversized sweater, a blanket, a cup of hot chocolate and huge wool socks to keep my toes warm!!

you can find some really cute socks to wear for fall with your boots at a few different locations. i have listed a few below!

so whether you wear your socks in the comfort of your own home, or out in public as an adorable part of your wardrobe, wear them proud!!

Jen's Fall Favorites

Please welcome Jen from Life Spelled JEN to the guest post series:

hello all. happy wednesday. i'm jen, from life spelled jen, guest posting today for the lovely kendra. my blog is full of what inspires me and the things i love which are mostly fashion, food and fun. and thanks to kendra,  today i am going to be sharing a bit of that with all of you.

this december i will be graduating with my mba and hopefully i will make it out of my last semester of graduate school alive because the fall trends are looking quite adorable. as a private school girl raised in pleated uniforms, the beautiful pleats that will be making an appearance this fall make me nostalgic for days when i was younger and considerably more care free. when you mix them in with the warm fall colors my heart just melts. i really cannot wait until fall is in full swing. you better believe i will be wearing booties, suede, cable knit sweater and pleats daily. 

i am also very excited that this will be my second holiday season living on my own and since i have a bigger budget than last year i have already started decorating. i plan to have pumpkins and fall leaves [which i will have to buy in a store because down in miami leaves don't change color] with cinnamon and acorns decorating my apartment. i have put together a little inspiration board to keep me going while i try to survive a nine to five job, school and well life in general.

i hope you enjoyed a peek into what will be inspiring me this fall. make sure to stop by
life spelled jen and enjoy the rest of your week!


Thanks so much Jen for playing along! Be sure to check out her blog! It's filled with great  fashion forward ideas and inspirations! 

Colleen's Fall Favorites

I would like to welcome the lovely Colleen from the Dashing Pearl to the Guest post series:

Hi Dancing Readers! I am Colleen from Dashing Pearl, and the lovely Kendra asked me to post on what trends I am looking forward to this fall. 

September is my FAVORITE month of all, so I was very excited to post on this.

I seem to gravitate towards autumn apparel the most all year round.
Something about scarves, peacoats, oversized handbags, and boots just sound perfect
to me. I am also a sucker for the colors that come out this time of year.
All the reds, yellows, greens, and oranges of the leaves
turning make my heart smile. I have always dreamt of a September wedding for this reason alone.
And comfort food seems at it's peak when the weather turns slightly
colder, like hot chocolate or grilled cheese and tomato soup.
I also might be heading to New York in mid October so for that,
I am dying to see the city and the park in all it's fall glory. 

Thanks for having me here, please stop by and visit
sometime!

Thanks so much for sharing with us Colleen!
