Fall has officially arrived. There is a bit of a nip in the air, and those who know me know that I do not like to be cold, so this weekend I’ll be whipping out my sweater collection. Just the thought of curling up next to a fire in an over-sized cable knit warms my heart. I love the look of a chunky cardigan for fall. There are so many ways to rock it- jeggings and some riding boots, jeans and a tailored shirt, or belt it. Regardless of how you sport your chunky cardigan, you will want to grab a few for this season. Here are the chunky cardis that made it onto Kiki’s List:

The Boys of Fall.
I have been told as of late that my blog is all sugar and spice and all things nice by my friends who have little boys. So ladies, here is your dose of snips and snails and puppy dog tails.
I am constantly hearing how difficult it is to find stylish clothes for little boys. While shopping for boys is a foreign concept to me, I decided to take that challenge and run with it. This one’s for the boys- below are the pieces for fall that made it onto Kiki’s List.

5.
As many of you know, my baby girl turned five last month. For their birthdays, I let my kids pick the theme, then the rest is up to Momma. You can see her first four birthdays here. Believe it or not, you can have a character party with style. This year, she chose a Princess and the Frog theme. I aimed for a whimsical, bayou-esque feel. Since Tiana is a chef (and so is E, might I add) I focused on the cooking element. You will see this theme repeated in the invitations, as well as the favors.
We had an absolute blast. Below are some pictures of the event, as well as the How To’s.
Goody Bags– 1. Aprons- Bought aprons here. Printed each child’s initial (lilac for girls, chartreuse for boys) on transfer paper and ironed on. 2. Tiana’s Cookbook 3. Frog Cookie Cutters
Games– Pin the Kiss on Naveen, Hot Frog, Freeze Dance
Flowers– Remember those darn candy jars from Lou’s party? They have once again been re-purposed. We wrapped them in ribbon and added an E sticker glued onto lilac card stock.
Music– Princess and the Frog Soundtrack, as well as some other Disney faves.
Candy Cups– Michael’s. I created the labels from Paper Source‘s 2.5 inch labels.

A special thanks to my bestie, MJ, who slept over the night before the party to tie together loose ends. As usual, there were a lot more loose ends than I estimated… We were up until 1:30 am.. she arranged all of the flowers- and what an amazing job she did! I have the best friends in the world. A big fat kiss to all of you.. MWAH!
