Last weekend, A and I went shopping in Jersey, which is a rare occurrence so I was one happy clam. :)

We started off hitting Home Depot and Ikea to take care of some errands before heading to 3 (!) separate shopping malls to find the stores we wanted to stop by. First up was the Nike Factory Store, which of course was his stop of choice, but I was the one who actually ended up leaving with stuff - ha. Though my favorite color is lime green, I opted for the blue leggings instead (these were girls) as well as the tank (women's) , which totaled just $20 together. :)
Next stop was the Banana Republic Factory Store, where I tried on a bunch of sweaters but only left with a crop top.
Then, I headed over to H&M, where I got a ton of stuff, including two cropped denim vests for $5 each and a $3 skirt. :)

| I LOVE these girl's sweatpants!! They are so super comfy and soft, I wish it came in black! $3 Women's skirt is also super soft and of the same material. |
After leaving this outlet mall, we headed to a regular mall to check out Forever 21 but before that, I stopped by Sephora to pick out a new lip color because I am a fan of their
Cream Lip Stains. Here I am wearing # 09 Watermelon Slice. Even though A does not like any kind of lip color on me, I want it anyway. :)
I feel a red lip really polishes off your look and all it takes is a simple swipe and you can easily tell by looking at this photo and my first OOTD photo at the beginning of this post, as well as in the fitting room photos below.

| The only item I did not leave with here is the buffalo plaid fleece-lined jacket. :) |
The weather was perfect for the ideal fall day - I think this may be my favorite time of year because it's not too hot and not too cold. :)
Also perfect for fall are these apple chips, which I made after apple picking one weekend because we had an abundance of apples. I tested the recipe out first with just one apple and these were so tasty that A and I gobbled it all up before we even made it to the train station on our way to work. :)
