It's Fall!

Fall is without a doubt my favorite season. When I first moved to New York I couldn't get over how awesome it was to have four distinct seasons. Now that I've experienced a small taste of Fall in northern Michigan though, I know that what I consider Fall here is a littttle bit lame. That said, I love 50 degree weather in NYC and even though there aren't a lot of colored leaves falling, there are a lot of little dogs in rain coats... almost as cool?!

Of everything I love about Fall, pumpkins are my absolute favorite. Particularly eating pumpkins. Last night I ate pumpkin ravioli...yum! My mom sent me an amazing pumpkin themed care package with a pumpkin loaf pan from William Sonoma. I had been dying to try it out but school has been insane so it took awhile. Finalllly:

It has this pretty little leaf print on top, and I just sprinkled a little powdered sugar.

There was a ton of extra batter so i made muffins also.

Mmmm... I love pumpkin everything! In other news, I had to make a bodysuit this week. Looking back on the extreme unpleasantness of sewing plaid spandex, I don't really know what possessed me to buy it, but I am pretty sure it had something to do with the lumberjack-y feeling that also reminds me of Fall.

I like the final product, but I definitely don't think it looks as complicated as it actually was to construct. I'll credit it to the hours I spent painstakingly matching plaids, but it is really hard to see that the front is actually 9 separate pattern pieces. (Also, the lines you see underneath the mesh are just style tape on the dress form, not part of the design.)
