First: there is the food and wine festival.

Then there are Mickey pumpkins/ fall stuff everywhere on Main Street

And last but not least there is MNSSHP (Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party)

Which is like the one time of year adults are allowed to dress up in the parks.

 

I may have bribed by husband by telling him he didn't have to come again if he would just be the Flynn Rider to my Rapunzel.

 

 

 

I made my costume and his vest (more on that later)

 

He was a pretty good sport, even when I made him stand in line for the princesses

 

Because obviously I needed to meet my inspiration...

 

 

He even took a picture with her. She called him Eugene the whole time!

 

My lantern trick or treat bag actually glowed in the dark.

I was super happy with how it turned out.

 

They do a "Celebrate the Magic" Castle show

 

 

Lantern Castle = my favorite, obviously.

 

One of my other favorite things is the Hocus Pocus show & Hallowishes

 

 

 

 

 

And castle selfies...

 

 

 

The other great part about MNSSHP is that the lines are pretty short and you can ride a lot of the rides that are still open with little to no wait

 

 

 

 

 

Main Street is pretty cool at night too...

 

 

The saddest pumpkin words in the whole place...

Need to start planning my next trip!

It's It's that time of year again (finally)

And while the high today is still in the upper 70s,

the low is low enough for me to warrant fall outfits!

 

I've been really into jewel tones recently
and swing dresses
and casual outfits

Here are some things on my "to get" and "got" lists:

Blanket Scarves

This is a photo from Southern Curls & Pearls
She is one of my favorite bloggers to follow
She has the best fashion and beauty tips
and she travels a lot so there's always new and fun content
 

Dark purple/ wine leggings

I also picked up a short sleeved swing dress with pockets from Bungalow 123.
Both boutiques have a great fall selection!

Leopard/Cheetah/ Animal Print

Day 2: Helen, GA

After a scenic tour through the mountains to get here, we finally arrived in Helen, GA.

"Formerly a logging town that was in decline, the city resurrected itself by becoming a replica of a  Bavarian alpine town"

Our first stop took us to Hofbrauhaus:

Until next time, GA!

Our view from the room was pretty cool.

We were also close to a McDonalds, Wendy's, and Starbucks

(things you care about when you might end up drinking to much).

 

In an effort to show us some local cuisine, the bride and groom took us here:

 



 

Called "SATCO" by the locals, The San Antonio Taco Company did not disappoint.

The best part about it (besides being amazing) was it was so cheap.

And honestly, things in Nashville are not.

 

A bucket of beer was $12 (later I would pay $10 for a small rum and coke)

And that queso was SO amazing!

 

We headed down to Broadway for the touristy half of our night and ended up at Honky Tonk Central!

 

Note to self: Rompers are adorable, but not the best going out to drink outfit...

 



 

The glowing bride! (although I think the groom might have been glowing the most).

Upon arrival back at our hotel, Caitlyn and I attempted to venture off to get food.

Security quickly stopped up from crossing the street to McDonald's because it was drive through only at midnight...

But he did offer to walk us to Wendy's.

That burger was heaven!

Thanks Carl Lee!

 

 

The next morning (wedding day) we walked the mile to the Hutton hotel to get ready!

We passed this stunning church and I couldn't resist a shot or two.

Those doors though...

 

 

We had brunch from "The Roe" and some other snacks...

How cute are those donut "rings"?

 

It was a lovely group of ladies to share a day with in honor of our friend!

Photo Cred coming soon!

 



The bride got us all matching t-shirts (monogrammed) to get ready in!

It was a cute twist on the trend these days to get everyone a robe.

I slept in mine last night, it was so comfortable!

 

Next it was on to the Belle Meade Plantation to get some pictures and wait!

 

It may have been a little hot...

 

 

Side note: I could not have been happier with my hair!

 

 

We were also pretty grateful for whoever brought the extra champagne over...

Team bride was so awesome!

 



Including our little flower girl...

North Carolina was also represented amazingly in some pork sliders with adorable NC flags!

 

Of course no wedding would be complete without an Uber to take you through the cookout drive through...

A fire alarm went off at 4:30AM and we basically never went back to bed.

Early flights out!

But my make up was still awesome.

I literally woke up like this:
