Autumn is in full swing here in Missouri. It's the little in-between things that make this season so great. Testing cozy recipes, breaking out jackets and coats for the season, hot tea and extra snuggles from our pups.
I also LOVE when all the leaves start changing colors. Some years are more colorful than others (which I think has to do with rainfall or something). Every year when the leaves turn bright red and orange it always makes me think of our dad. He isn't exactly a photography enthusiast although I've gone with him more than once to drive around our town to find the best colorful trees in the autumn to snap pictures of. I don't think he does this every year, but it was certainly an obsession for a little while. And he had a knack for finding the most colorful trees. I think the obsession grew in part out of his love of plants and gardening. Anyway, the leaves changing colors always makes me think of him.
We are working with the super nice folks over at Golden Tote for this post. If you haven't heard of them, they have a pretty unique business model. Essentially, you choose 1 or 2 items, tell them your style, and they send you a whole goody bag of clothing and accessories! Here's what we're wearing from our October Golden Totes, all of which is available on their site nowβ
Elsie's wearing: Vegan Leather Jacket, Zipper Leggings (surprise item)
Emma's wearing: Stylish Sophisticate Dress, Fall Cardigan (surprise item)
Cheers to hot apple cider and crunchy leaves. xx. Elsie

Ooo, the Golden Tote product sounds interesting! Kind of like a more personalized subscription box. You guys look adorable as always. I’m SO excited for jacket weather! It rained for the first time here today, but I wasn’t anticipating it so I didn’t bring a jacket to the office, haha.

Does this mean we won’t know where Emma’s shoes are from? I love them!
Hi Joanna! They are from Asos π -Jacki
Loove the changing colors of fall! It’s the thing I miss most about Missouri.
Cute outfits and gorgeous photos! Fall is a nice time of year. It’s nice to be able to drink hot beverages and snuggle with blankets after a hot summer.
I have almost the exact shoes from DSW that are similar to Emmas!

They’re so nice and exactly what I’ve been looking for! I couldn’t find them on the website. Are they Asos brand?
You both look great! And I love the idea of Golden Tote. But a bit of feedback for them — I popped over to take a look, but I HATE sites that make you register in order to access the site. I’d much prefer to poke around and see if it’s worth creating an account or giving them my info. I’m hoping that’s because it’s still in beta, and that soon I can take a look, because you both look so cute in those outfits. And yea fall!
GoldenTote sounds like such a fun service to use! I’m really surprised at how affordable it is. I love your outfits, and the two of you look gorgeous in these pictures.

I live in a tropical country so we don’t have autumn and winter from where I am. Yeah no changing leaf colors and snow. This makes me so curious about how those seasons feel like. I’m loving all the black and white outfit pairings here too. So chic!

I would give anything to live in a beautiful place like this where the seasons change. I live in Miami and let’s just say it’s hot all year and near the holidays it is full of rain and humid… but I do look at the bright side of living where many vacation.
Fall is my favorite season. Love the leather jacket… work!!
