♥A Day at the Apothecary I’ve never been one to stick my knickknacks just anywhere. I’ve always felt the need to store my special somethings in splendrous hidey-holes for safekeeping; pretty little environments that preserve their glamour, while displaying them in the most dainty of ways. At this particular time this task has been relayed to ambrosial apothecary jars which are just as heavenly as they are handy. Despite the fact that these Apothecary Jars with Stainless Steel Lids look eerily similar to those lining the counters of doctor’s offices filled to the brim with tongue-depressors and cotton swabs, I imagine that they’ll look unbelievably gorgeous filled with a mix of polished pinecones and shimmering seashells. With the holidays virtually around the corner, I find that it would be absolutely lovely to pile pounds of peppermint candies into the San Miguel Apothecary Jars. And for a touch of high fashion, I’m sure my cast-aside baubles would look beatific glinting from within the confines of the Waterford Marquis Vintage Garden Apothecary Jars. Care to spend a day at the apothecary with me, dolls?

♥Hay Dude! Some things remain unspoken for far too long; therefore, in honor of Halloween, I’ve decided to divulge un petit bit of information about moi…like Green Acres’ blissfully beautiful Eva Gabor, I find myself completely smitten with the city, but quite content with various aspects of farm life. It is the lure of numerous public transportation methods, bright lights, the hustle and bustle, and the feeling that the entire world is at your fingertips that makes me head over heels for a metropolis; but the romanticism of pumpkin patches, apple groves, and, above all else, moonlit hayrides, which leads me to the country like a horse to water. The autumn months only make me more eager to experience these things. But alas, aside from a paltry, makeshift hayride that springs up in a local shopping center every now and then, it’s nearly impossible to find the genuine thing unless you actually reside on a ranch. But it certainly doesn’t have to be. Pumpkin Patches and More! is a virtual map to all things fun and related to fall. Hayrides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, orchards, farmer’s markets…just choose a location near you, and voila! your weekend plans are set. I wonder what I’ll be doing tonight…
What were you smitten with this week?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to It’s Unbeweavable! and Shopbop for the pictures.

I love the DKNY'S Double Breasted Trench with Rolled Collar! I especially the love the color :) And the pearl necklace from Anthropology..totally smitten! Those notebooks are darling as well.
I'm with you on the pearls. I was smitten with sweatpants and uggs this week because of all the snow we got here in Denver =) I know, not so glamorous! It is melting though...

OOOO pearls, so classic and chic. I'm the opposite, diamonds I'm meh about, but don't know what I'd do without my opera length strand of pearls!
I think the trick is though to try and keep them from looking too "ladies who lunch", and to be a little irreverant with the beauties!
Great post, as always! Love the notebooks and the pearls!
I too loved Harriet the Spy as a kid and always ate tomato sandwiches. :)
I am not a writer but I love to collect all sorts of beautiful notebooks and pens.
I admire people who can DIY really well. I don't have the talent for that. But still, I try and try.
Have a great Halloween Erika!
Those notebooks are so much fun! Everytime I go to Barnes and Noble I touch every single notebook they have like a child, wishing I could own all of them. I had to laugh at all of the different titles! Communists I met! ha ha so funny.
PS) I need your help on my page, help me decide on a handbag!!
I have been talking a lot about pearls this week. I like them in necklaces and bracelets. No so much as earrings. I am kind of a DIY disaster too. Although I have gain some skills in the last years after trying and trying. So don´t stop.
This week I smitten chocolate basically.

B* a la Moda
that necklace (omg, i honestly just typed necklass wtf is wrong with me today? haha) from alloy is AMAZING!
as a child, i loved harriet too! i'd dress up in overalls (did she even wear these? i forget even though i just saw the movie, but i always related them to her) and bring my notebook EVERYWHERE.
happy halloween!
I know what you mean, I am an absolutely failure at DIY. And Pearls!!! I wore a pearl necklace every day in eighth grade. I love their class!
I'm definitely giving P.S. I made this a look. I really suck at DIY, but if there are step by step instructions, with pictures, I'm surer I'll succeed.

Ohh I am drooling over the notebooks!
those notebooks are so cute; it made me write another entry into my journal - which i have neglected for awhile haha.
this week i have been inspired by being on the docks at Pier 54 here in new york & just watching boats sail by. lol
Hey there. Great post as usual. Hope you've had a cool weekend. I had a fantastic Halloween here. Take care. Cheers!
I love the Archie Grand Notebooks. I don't know why, but I'm always drawn to notebooks, journals and note pads. The more I like it, the less I want to write in it - I'm afraid I'll destroy its perfection. =)
I always love your fantastic lists! That trench is gorgeous and I love the cool writing notebooks. I'm also a lover of DIY but can't seem to perfect my own way of styling things as well. I hope u had a great Halloween! :)
I want a nice trench coat too :D
Pearls are a total staple for me. Well, no one's given me any diamonds yet! I love trench coats as well, as you can imagine I was a massive Harriet the Spy fan as a child too!
Thank you so much for the shout out for our apothecary jars with stainless lids - nice post!
I love your coat with the shoes... I also want one.
The French lace is easier to maintain as compared to the Swiss lace.. [url=http://www.elitwine.com]canada goose down parka[/url] I would be happier at home but need job exp.. [url=http://www.sagoparap.org]canada goose outlet sale[/url] Xnrhnpano
