If you saw my post earlier this week, I’m sure you know that today all I can think about is the big game – Miami vs. FSU. Here’s hoping my Canes embrace the underdog role and come out big tonight.

Moving on… it’s been a little while since I’ve done a required reading and I definitely missed sharing some of my favorite reads from the week. Definitely going to do my best to bring it back on a more consistent basis (wish me luck).

Here’s what I was loving…

* I’m in the midst of a serious cobalt obsession (maybe because UK basketball season is starting up again) and this look from Ashley {SideSmile Style} had me swooning.

* First off, have you checked out Beth’s {Seersucker + Saddles} redesigned site? Well if you haven’t yet, this gray outfit is all the motivation you need to head over there. Love love love those shoes.

* The story behind Jessica’s {Bows & Sequins} outfit (well the mishap that happened after getting dressed) was just as fun to read about as hear in person. Either way, you definitely couldn’t tell and the skirt is a serious find.

* One of the highlights of my New York trip was meeting Hallie {Corals + Cognacs}, just as funny, related and cool as she is on her blog.  Now she’s got me seriously coveting these booties.

* Halloween may have already come and gone (lingered a little longer around here) but I’m still thinking about this amazing party spread that Mandy {Waiting on Martha} put together.

* Looking for casual fall inspiration? Look no further than this look from Ali {Love You Mean It}.

There you have it. Go check ’em all out and then Go Canes!
