We went to the Harvest Faire at the school that Zack teaches this weekend. It was a fun little family event, and as usual bringing Sam with us made it even better. But can we talk about “fall” in California? It’s seriously a joke. Like, I was actually getting excited that maybe, just maybe, we were going to be able to wear sweaters and boots and leggings (oh my!) soon, but then of course the weather decides to be in the upper 80’s/low 90’s which seriously? Low 90’s? That’s hot. That’s not fall. But oh, it is. Fall in California. Which, honestly, I’m not complaining. Really, I’m not. I just, you know. Am kind of itching for some cooler weather now? I guess?
Fall in California means that when you wear a thin long sleeve top and some black pants, you start sweating after walking around in the sun for a couple hours. But fall in California also means that you eat shaved ice (sno cones? Same difference, right?) at the Harvest Faire in October, so I guess there’s a silver lining to everything, folks, and I’ve found it. Because, ice with syrup is like, so good. For some reason. Also, they added condensed milk on top, which I’d never had before but OMG life changer. If you ever get the chance, say yes to the condensed milk on top. You will not regret it.
Anyway, I’ll be sharing some of my tips for dressing for weather that can’t make up it’s mind (i.e. transitional weather/ fall in California and the like) later this week! So look for that. Hopefully it’s useful for all of you who live in states that can’t quite make up their mind as to what season it actually is. ;)

Haha, I laughed because I know EXACTLY what you are talking about! That will be a good post for me in Texas! :)
Haha right?! Fall is a term that is used veryyyy loosely for us! ;)

Sno cones are harvest fest?!?! Lol, we froze our bottoms off at our pumpkin fest this weekend, not even pumpkin hot coco could sooth me, brrrr!
I know! It’s crazy! I would have preferred a nice hot beverage- it’s much more festive! ;)
xo
Cute booties! Looks like so much fun!
Thanks girl! It was lots of fun :) I love doing super festive things like this! Makes the season that much better.

Love Love Love your outfit!! And love that picture where Sam is looking at the snow cone { at least I think that’s what he is looking at haha }! I couldn’t believe yesterday! It was crazy weird, and to make it even better my work decided that it needed the heater on in the morning haha I was dying!
Haha Sam is totally looking at the snow cone! ;)

You guys are so cute. I love your Ray-Bans! Would love a pair someday. And YES, I totally can relate to what you’re saying about fall. Same here in Arizona. I keep getting hopeful as the mornings and evenings are cooler, and the days are shorter, but the afternoons are still pretty hot. I look forward to your post about dressing for fickle weather this week!!
Thanks for totally inspiring me to write the “summer-fall transition” wardrobe post!! :) Is it feeling more like fall in AZ?
xo
Girl, I so feel ya! Fall in California is a joke. It’s more summer now than it was over the summer. I just pretend it’s fall and wear sweaters and scarves… and then start sweating in 2 minutes of being outside lol. Hopefully it will come soon!!
Haha “it’s more summer now than it was over the summer”- YEAH basically! It’s crazy!

Aw! I wish we still had some hot weather here in Canada (we never really did have a summer) but fall dressing is my favourite! And I totally get why you are itching to dress with layers! That snow come sounds and looks super delish! I may have to try it myself!! Looking forward to your next post :)
You are so sweet Kassandra! I always love your comments! :) I’ve always wanted to visit Canada- one day!!

fall in California is such a fluid concept, and this week yup back in the 90s, but next week i think i think i saw rain and 68 degrees in the forecast
Yesss it’s just now starting to feel fall-ish here! YAY!
xo
I’m sure you’re jealous of the actual fall weather in the middle states, but I promise you, come January, you will be thanking your lucky stars! I’ve never had condensed milk on a sno cone, but now I really want to try it. And wouldn’t you know – all the sno cone places are closed for the season. Ugh.
Ha! I know, you’re right! I spent a fall/winter in Paris, and that’s the first time I really experienced living in a place where it got FRIGIDLY cold- so I definitely feel lucky with our weather in CA (for the most part)! It’s fun to actually have real seasons, though! :) You’re lucky!

There was frost on the ground here this morning, haha. Definitely time to start bundling up a bit more! Cute booties!!
Brrrr! Frost on the ground, uh ohhhh that can only mean one thing… ;)
xo
You look so cute!
Thanks girly!
xo

Girl. I freeze in the 60s too! It’s currently 64 in my house and I’m like frozen haha
xo
I’m right there with you wishing for cooler weather! Which I guess we sort of got today but I’d appreciate some low 70’s or 60’s for awhile. I’m ready to curl up on the couch under a blanket with my hot cup of tea!
Curling up on the couch with a hot cup of tea… ahhhh that is my heaven!!!
xo
Man! I’m envious of your Fall. It was 35 degrees when we left the movies Saturday night!!! Wisconsin usually can’t make its mind up BUT I do know we barely got into the 90’s this Summer… I’m jealous!
OMG 35 degrees?! That is COLD. Stay warm, girl! And enjoy being able to bundle up! :)
