Classically Abby - How I'm Decorating For FALL! ⧸⧸ vlog #6

00:00:00.000 the big thing that we're doing today is we're going to go through my fall decor and we're

00:00:03.720 going to put it out i don't know you guys it might be over it help me decide in the comments

00:00:08.700 hello friends and welcome to today's vlog we are outside today and i am using a new lens which is

00:00:28.960 super exciting i bought a lens that was a 16 millimeter i didn't necessarily totally

00:00:35.260 understand what that meant and it meant that i had to sit right in front of the frame uh which

00:00:40.580 distorts you so then i got this this one which i kind of have to sit a little bit further back from

00:00:45.500 but i like the look of it and it doesn't distort my face so much which is great the sound you're

00:00:51.540 going to hear some nature sounds you might hear some cars you might hear some planes but that's

00:00:56.580 what we deal with when we film outside so i kind of like it i find it relaxing you might get a

00:01:03.440 little bit of wind hopefully it doesn't drown me out so before we get into today's vlog i wanted to

00:01:08.120 quickly briefly mention my nails uh i'm seeing if this will focus i'm trying to cover my face because

00:01:14.120 then it usually does i did my nails using my gel nail kit and i just i love the way it turned out

00:01:21.340 i love the color it's very natural but it has like a fall feel because it's slightly more orange

00:01:26.420 it's like an orange nude which i really like and i do my gel nails at home which is so much cheaper

00:01:33.580 i really prefer it uh the only time i get my nails done is when i'm like really spoiling myself normally

00:01:40.480 i just do it myself at home but this week i had to take some time just to take care of myself because

00:01:45.480 after hosting all those guys and then i had some girls over for a girls night we watched harry potter

00:01:52.000 to get us into the fall season since october is just around the corner uh we it was so much fun

00:01:58.940 i made butterbeer it was delicious oh my gosh everyone loved it but after hosting twice in a week

00:02:06.520 for a while i had so much laundry to do it was crazy we also just finished the holidays

00:02:12.980 i just needed a day to kind of take care of myself pamper a little bit at home just for my mental

00:02:20.080 health because as i start to not take care of myself physically then i start to feel not great

00:02:24.840 mentally so i definitely took some time to shower and take care of my hair i'm trying to embrace my

00:02:30.840 natural texture today so i put some products in i put some oil in i you know shaved i did my nails

00:02:38.960 i am trying to take care of my skin and actually one of the things i'm trying to do right now is

00:02:44.400 try to have less milk so not so much less dairy because i'm still having yogurt and i'm still having

00:02:51.860 butter but i'm not having like straight milk and i think that's going to help my skin i'm crossing my

00:02:57.880 fingers because my skin doesn't tend to react super well when i have a lot of dairy and the last couple

00:03:04.220 of weeks i've noticed that i've had more dairy and my skin has gotten worse so with that in mind i'm

00:03:10.020 trying to avoid so much milk in my diet and even in the last couple days i've seen an improvement

00:03:15.360 that's really good news this top it's really like a sweater dress i thrifted and this was the one from

00:03:22.560 ann taylor that had the tags on still which was awesome but this is just all catching up before we get

00:03:28.760 into today's videos so we have some people here cleaning our carpets today because our lease tells us

00:03:36.520 we rent that we have to do that once a year so somebody's here cleaning the carpets which is actually

00:03:41.960 why i'm filming outside because it's very loud inside while they do that so they're cleaning the carpets

00:03:47.580 but what that means is that i had to really make sure that the house was in order so that they could

00:03:52.760 clean the floors and the kitchen and the sunroom both are not carpeted so i could take my time with

00:03:59.420 that as far as cleaning i actually needed to because there were other things i needed to take care of

00:04:03.860 like tidying up the rest of the house so you guys can come along with me while i clean the kitchen later

00:04:08.780 but the big thing that we're doing today is we're going to go through my fall decor and we're going to

00:04:13.500 put it out and i'm going to take out my fall clothes that have been in storage and we can take a look at

00:04:19.020 those too so you guys can help me set up for fall which i'm really excited about i wanted to do this

00:04:24.660 like over a month ago but i got lazy and didn't want to go into the garage to get it out but yesterday

00:04:29.520 was the first day i was like it is almost october we have to do this today so i went in the garage

00:04:35.380 and i got everything out and we're going to take a look at it and then we're going to set it up around

00:04:39.300 the house and then i'm also planning on doing just a little bit of shopping today because i need to

00:04:43.100 pick up some stuff at nordstrom's i need to replace some things and then also i need to go to

00:04:47.700 barnes noble to pick up a new planner because we're about to head into a new year and as you

00:04:52.840 guys know i absolutely depend on my paper planner i cannot live without it so i need to go pick one

00:04:59.160 up the one that i have now i love because it has like a reflection after every month where it asks

00:05:05.900 you you know what did you learn what was your favorite day this month what did you do and i really

00:05:10.000 loved that and i didn't even think about it when i purchased it but i i felt like i wanted to fill it

00:05:15.760 out every month and it always gave me an opportunity to think about the good things and the bad things

00:05:20.360 that went over the course of the month and it makes me want to keep this planner for the future so i can

00:05:24.900 look back at my year so i'm hoping i can find something similar at the barnes noble here we'll

00:05:30.320 see because i got this one in omaha so i don't know if this barnes noble will carry it but i i really

00:05:35.760 liked it and i i always have fun choosing my planner so i'm going to try and do that today

00:05:41.680 and then i have to prep some dinner tonight so that's going to be most of the day uh but yeah

00:05:48.140 let's go come along with me

00:05:49.960 so

00:05:51.680 so

00:06:05.680 so

00:06:17.680 so

00:06:26.180 so I am making myself some eggs it's late in the day so maybe a bit late for breakfast foods but

00:06:50.260 I sort of eat breakfast foods throughout the day like I'll have some steel cut oats I'll have

00:06:56.800 fruit I'll have yogurt and right now I'm frying up some easy over eggs as you can see our fresh

00:07:02.060 baked bread is right there I was just drying my hands with that towel you can see what music I'm

00:07:07.180 listening to and then I'm toasting up my fresh baked bread to eat my eggs on so yeah that's

00:07:12.380 just kind of like a peek into my my meals because I normally am trying to get a good amount of

00:07:18.060 protein so the carpet guys are gone I finished cleaning the kitchen I prepared dinner I prepared

00:07:26.600 it in advance so I just cut up the chicken and you guys saw I chopped up some onions I also put some

00:07:31.040 garlic in there and I threw some other things that I'm just trying I don't want to say what the recipe

00:07:35.840 is because I don't know if it'll be good but um in case you were curious about that little tool I was

00:07:42.280 using to cut the onions Jacob actually bought that for me I thought oh this is going to make things

00:07:46.980 slow and it does slow things down a bit but you get really little pieces of onion which is awesome

00:07:53.080 and you don't really have to worry about cutting your fingers which is also awesome so I can link

00:07:57.800 it in the description box below in case anybody's interested I would have welcomed you to the floor

00:08:02.500 for this portion of today's video but I can't because the floor is still a little bit damp from

00:08:07.380 them doing the carpet cleaning it wasn't as bad as I thought and the guy said to me it was going to be

00:08:11.240 so loud and it wasn't as loud so I probably could have recorded a little bit but I didn't know where he was

00:08:16.340 going to be and he was kind of all over the house so whatever today ended up being a little bit more

00:08:21.280 complicated than I expected but that's okay and I have all of my fall decor right here all of my fall

00:08:28.440 clothes right here that I want to show you and I want to share with you so let's get into that because

00:08:34.660 that is the real thing we're going to do in today's video first off let's start off with this adorable

00:08:41.080 pillow I got this two years ago maybe I did a video on my channel a long time ago about fall

00:08:47.380 decor and so I just went on like a little shopping spree then I haven't really got a lot of stuff

00:08:53.500 since then and if I do get anything I just get it from the Dollar Tree because the Dollar Tree

00:08:57.320 actually has really awesome options the first year I went and got home decor I went to like home goods

00:09:02.280 and TJ Maxx and the stuff there is not expensive but even if you get two or three items it's like

00:09:08.160 it can really add up so I figured that I would just keep what I have I don't need to like keep

00:09:14.260 adding every year I'm happy with what I have and if we ever have a bigger house maybe but at this

00:09:20.060 point I'm I'm all set you know I'm actually in a smaller house now than we were when we were in

00:09:24.780 Nebraska so if I were to get more stuff it would just clutter it even what I have now I'm still

00:09:29.960 trying to figure out exactly where I'm going to put it but in any case this pillow says gather

00:09:34.140 together it's beaded I think it's really cute and it's just small and I can add it to our already

00:09:39.460 existing pillow displays pillow displays to our already existing pillows that are on the couch

00:09:44.640 next up we have this pillow which says give thanks I love the pumpkin print it's a really soft pillow

00:09:52.600 too so it's cozy and comfy and this is going to look great alongside our other pillows I think I got

00:09:58.840 this at the Dollar Tree it's just a ribbon but it has really pretty leaves on it like a little leaf

00:10:04.580 picture thing on it and it's gold and I usually just put this on a mantelpiece and kind of like

00:10:09.520 crumple it up so that is my plan with this but I just think it's so pretty and I really love the way

00:10:14.960 that it looks it's very seasonal and festive next up we have this blanket and I first of all I love

00:10:21.460 blankets that are this fabric they're so cozy and comfy and they're all I want to use when I'm chilly

00:10:25.880 I know there are other blankets that are knitted and we have a few of those from when Jacob was

00:10:31.400 before me single and he brought them into our marriage and they look probably nicer but I really

00:10:37.860 love the feel of these they're just so soft but the pictures on here are so cute there are little

00:10:42.800 bears and dogs and they're all wearing sweaters here's a little squirrel standing in the rain and

00:10:50.580 here's a moose in a vest oh oh my gosh the cutest thing I'm I'm so obsessed I love this blanket I

00:10:58.420 have one for winter that has them in like earmuffs and I need to put that one away so that this one

00:11:03.380 can come out and I'm so glad I have this one it's adorable so I bought this last year I think and it

00:11:10.040 says hello pumpkin and I don't really use it to like as a dish towel I use it just as a display dish towel

00:11:17.820 so it just sits on our stove and it looks really really cute or rather on our oven and looks really

00:11:23.700 cute and I really love the pattern guys I think orange orange isn't my favorite color year round

00:11:29.780 but in fall orange is my favorite color do you agree like is that does that have to be how things

00:11:35.720 are that you just like love the the warm browns of fall like this sweater is not orange but it's

00:11:42.460 like a warm brown and I just love it it just makes me feel so cozy and warm next up we have

00:11:48.740 this pillow this pillow I got for our green couch because these other pillows kind of clash with the

00:11:54.780 color but this one is it's it almost reminds me of Cinderella's pumpkins because it's like a little bit

00:12:00.920 more on the magical side and I would not say that this color is a really fall color but the picture is

00:12:07.760 so I really like this one I think it's really adorable and it's small again so it doesn't

00:12:13.160 really get in the way next up I got this from the Dollar Tree it says happy harvest and you guys these

00:12:19.640 signs from the Dollar Tree are such good quality I'm always surprised that these are such good quality

00:12:25.240 now I don't hang this on our door I have a fall wreath and a pumpkin outside so that's already set up

00:12:31.880 but this is something I just keep around the house because if I put this on our front door we get a lot

00:12:36.840 of sun and it just gets bleached but in the house it stays and I can keep it forever and it was a

00:12:41.440 dollar next up I have these cups I think I got both of these from the Dollar Tree and they're very cute

00:12:46.880 this is a hot cup it says pick of the patch which is so adorable and then this is a cold cup which I

00:12:52.580 use for iced coffee on hotter fall days and I think that they're both very festive and seasonal and again

00:12:59.160 only a dollar I got these little leaves that you can put in vases again I think I got them from

00:13:03.320 the Dollar Tree and they're just cheap and cute I can always throw them out and I wouldn't feel bad

00:13:08.860 because they were so cheap but they're just like pretty and festive and the color is great I always get

00:13:14.840 comments on this mug every year it says happy fall y'all I got it at Target and it was $5 and I love it

00:13:22.460 I need to put this in the dishwasher because it has been in my garage but I just think it's the cutest cup

00:13:28.600 so nice to drink out of and I love the shape of it too it's a little bit like broader and wider than

00:13:33.920 your average mug so I really like it I have these little pumpkins that I can just kind of put around

00:13:39.720 the house for more decor these were a dollar and they're ceramic and they're great quality incredible

00:13:46.120 I'm so impressed by these I have three of them and then these I got at HomeGoods and they were much

00:13:50.160 more expensive and they're gold and they shed I mean the gold gets on your fingers and they're candles

00:13:56.500 but I'm not gonna like them so I use them as decor but these were much more expensive I recommend

00:14:00.580 these much much cheaper and ceramic last but not least I got wheat I have wheat from last year two

00:14:07.420 years ago maybe and I just the look of wheat wheat is not so cheap it was actually kind of expensive

00:14:12.980 but the look of wheat is so harvesty so I'm gonna put this into a vase and put it around the house

00:14:19.580 I really love the look of wheat okay so before we get into putting this stuff out I want to show you

00:14:27.900 my fall clothing that I've had in storage I might end up giving some of it away because I've had some

00:14:33.380 of it for a while and I don't necessarily wear it and I recognize that because I unpack it and then

00:14:39.220 pack it and realize I never even put it on but we'll check it out we'll see what I have it's a not

00:14:44.140 small box I mean the thing is it's boots and it's sweaters which are both very bulky so it makes sense

00:14:49.280 that they would be in this big in this big box it's not like it's that much stuff it's just that

00:14:54.980 it's a lot of bulky stuff so let's crack into it first off I have this sweater from Target I love the

00:15:02.340 neckline it's like an interesting mock neck and the print and the dolman sleeves I mean it's just an

00:15:08.320 interesting sweater and I really like it and my mom bought it for me last year I thrifted this

00:15:14.980 this is a sweater I thrifted and I do love the color and I do love the fit but when I washed it

00:15:21.180 once I think it like ran and so there's all these little stains on it let me see I don't know if it'll

00:15:27.960 pick it up in on here but it looks like the color is like in the creases so you know I can't feel too

00:15:35.100 bad about that because I thrifted it so it's not like it was expensive but yeah I just don't feel

00:15:40.480 comfortable wearing it because the color is running on the fabric and it just makes it look

00:15:45.720 cheap next up we have this sweater which first of all I really love the color but second of all

00:15:49.820 this is the neck and it like folds over and it can either be a shawl or it can come over and be I

00:15:56.420 don't know what you would call that like a almost looks like a crop top over the top of your sweater I

00:16:01.580 don't know how to describe it it has like a flap that comes over your chest which is actually very

00:16:06.940 flattering for me so this is a great sweater and I think it would be cute and I'm gonna keep it my

00:16:13.000 issue with this sweater is I always want to wear it because I think it's a cute look but I don't wear

00:16:18.220 it as much as I should so I'm gonna keep it for one more year and see if I wear it more than once

00:16:22.540 and if I do then I'll keep it and if I don't then I'll give it away this is a turtleneck I love

00:16:27.580 turtlenecks turtlenecks I feel like they make everyone look so classy so beautiful oh the sleeve is tucked in

00:16:33.180 here and they look so good with a pearl necklace this is like a heather gray so you probably can't

00:16:38.420 see it might look black but it's a it's a great little sweater I think I got it from target maybe

00:16:43.000 let me let me see right now I got this one from H&M so again really affordable really cute this is

00:16:49.400 the same sweater but in like an oatmeal color this sweater I got at Kohl's and I really like that it has

00:16:55.560 all these different colors it's like an interesting stripe and I like the waffle knit too and it's just a

00:17:01.380 little bit more oversized so that makes it very comfy and cozy in the in the fall another thrift

00:17:07.340 find I love this sweater it's a big turtleneck it's got like a big neck and it I have to decide

00:17:14.080 I think I want to cut this off can you guys tell me what you think can you see there's like this

00:17:18.060 sheer thing that makes it look like there's a shirt underneath it and I guess that's cool but I kind of

00:17:24.500 want to just cut it off and wear it just like as a little bit more of a cropped sweater I really like

00:17:28.880 the ombre effect on here too so let me know what you guys think because I can't decide this is a

00:17:34.280 navy sweater I got from Banana Republic no Ann Taylor I got this at Ann Taylor it has a big bow

00:17:39.440 and it's very cute with the right outfit but you know again it's one of those sweaters that I don't

00:17:46.800 feel so confident in so you know what I'm going to say is I'm going to try it and if again I don't wear

00:17:52.500 it more than once this season I'm going to give it away okay I have had this dress for years years

00:17:59.260 and I love it because it's so like Christmassy and festive and it's got long sleeves and it's long

00:18:05.280 enough and it's very good very fitted so I'm going to keep this next up we have this sweater dress

00:18:11.300 from Charlotte Roos my husband loves when I wear this so I'm going to keep it but I just I really

00:18:16.740 like the mock neck I like the length of the sleeves I like the color palette it's a good dress

00:18:20.780 the camera of course died but I was sitting here for a while so it makes sense so let's continue

00:18:26.160 this dress I got with my mom a couple of years ago and it's like weirdly itchy it doesn't look like it

00:18:36.900 would be but for some reason something in it itches me um so I think I'm gonna get this one away next up

00:18:41.920 we have this white sweater which I love it's I don't know why some of the sleeves are not like

00:18:47.560 pulled out uh this one is very cozy and like the best fabric and you can put it over things which

00:18:54.120 is really cute so I'm definitely keeping this I have this gray sweater from Target that I really like

00:19:01.000 um and it's just easy it's nice to have you know a lot of neutral colors for sweaters I've had this

00:19:07.560 sweater for years and I can't decide whether I'm over it yet it has like a loop around the neck

00:19:13.480 and then a very slight v-neck in the front I like the color I like the length of it

00:19:19.200 this thing makes me sweat like crazy like I'm not even hot I'm not even warm I'm just sweaty

00:19:25.680 I don't know you guys it might be over it help me decide in the comments

00:19:30.980 let's talk boots so I packed these away these are my favorite boots I got them at Target I can't

00:19:38.360 believe I got them at Target they're so nice looking and they've held up so well they're so

00:19:42.960 comfy I wear them all the time I wear them with everything they go with everything so I pack these

00:19:49.100 away but these are like my favorite boots ever I'm actually surprised that so many of my boots from

00:19:54.700 Target have held up or rather that I had so many boots from Target these are maybe seven years old

00:20:03.500 which is kind of crazy to think about because they're like a suede fake suede and I still wear

00:20:08.980 them they still look fantastic I love these boots and they're so comfortable even though they have a

00:20:13.560 high heel so can't wait to wear these guys I love boots let's let's just be clear I have a rider's

00:20:21.020 boot these are just kind of like a flat rider's boot that are very comfortable and warm and good for

00:20:26.500 fall and then I have a heeled rider boot because I wanted to look like Kate Middleton and I still don't

00:20:31.940 regret that so I have both to switch off these are like less practical but still really cool I got

00:20:39.040 them for a birthday gift so that is all of my fall stuff that is the fall decor those are the fall

00:20:44.320 clothes so I am going to go set up my fall decor

00:20:47.360 so

00:21:01.040 Thank you.

00:21:31.040 Thank you.

00:22:01.040 Thank you.
