Of course, I have the obligatory red leaves. I like these leaves because they're not yet all the way red, making me think (hope?) that maybe summer hasn't completely left us yet.
Then there's Luke in his new red coat ($10, thank you Old Navy!) about to get a piggy back ride at a nearby Arboretum. We spent an hour and a half hiking and running on Sunday. Tommy slept in the sling the entire time, and it was just a lovely way to spend the morning with my three favorite boys in the whole wide world.
I wish that this photo looked better, but I snapped it with my phone two seconds before I devoured this piece of RED velvet cake. It was amazing, but I'd already consumed roughly 8000 calories at dinner, so I'm pretty sure I suffered a minor heart attack after eating it. SO WORTH IT.
Finally, this is my favorite red lipstick. It is matte and very old Hollywood. Unfortunately, it is also very hard to pull off unless you are wearing the right outfit and eye makeup, so I only wear it about twice a year. As a testament to how little I wear it, I bought this tube four years ago with Leah (we walked into the MAC store and demanded that teach us to wear red lipstick), and it looks hardly used! Speaking of Leah, she's just beginning blogging again and is going through a tough time, so if you have a free moment, could you please swing by her site? I will love you forever!
I hope you enjoyed my red captures!
I love, love, love red leaves. And the fact that I can just look outside into my back yard and see them. Great shots!

ReplyDeleteI remember that day so well. Erin, that was FOUR years ago, the day you bought that lipstick. FOUR.
Gorgous Red leaves...I live in Colorado so we have more yellow aspens, but I adore red leaves:)Where are you from?
ReplyDeleteThe lipstick is definitely borrowed from nature in all its glory! I love the jacket especially. When I opened your post and saw the leaf-turning-red, I was hoping to see the red jacket that's been in photos lately hugging the most precious little guy! The red velvet cake... whoa! Now that's a CAPTURE!
ReplyDeleteThat shot of the partially red leave is gorgeous! Nice bokeh!
ReplyDeleteThe obligatory red leaves are something I can't see where I am, so THANK YOU for that! And the lipstick, it's HOT. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I LOVE your red lipstick! How cool is that shade? Hot as can be : ) Perfect. And the leaves are so pretty. And your son is SO adorable!
ReplyDeleteBoy, you're red-tinged leaves turned out WAY better than mine! Beautiful shots!
