I have been wanting to go to a pumpkin patch for years! And when I say pumpkin patch I mean a real pumpkin patch, not one of those converted parking lots with straw on the ground. I want to go to a big, beautiful field and pick a big orange pumpkin and cut it right from the vines. In LA a real pumpkin patch is almost impossible to find, but I put Matthew to the test to do some research and he found the perfect place. Of course it ended up being a little outside of LA {yes, a whole county north}, but we found it nonetheless and had the best time picking out our pumpkins! Our yearly pumpkin carving competition is coming up and I need the perfect one to win :)

I love the color of this dress! It's so pretty and reminds me so much of the fall season. I've said it before but I'll say it again, this is my favorite season by far! The cooler weather, the change in lighting, the natural colors {mustards, browns, oranges}, the layering.. it really can't be beat! {Although I know some of you summer-holics would beg to differ!}
Have a great Monday friends!

The colors are so beautiful together, Mara, and I adore those boots! I am so happy you found a real pumpkin patch! I may have to get my husband to take me up there too!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is definitely beautiful. I love how your outfit kind of matches your surroundings. Perfect colours for picking pumpkins! :)

I am a big fan of the fall as well, no other season can beat the beautiful colors and perfect weather.
ReplyDeleteps: your dress is fallish, I have been having a hard time finding me fallish dresses.

ReplyDeleteLove love this outfit. please i hope u follow back britters89.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAW! I love it! The pallet is so fall!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most beautiful outfits you've put together, I think! The fall colors really make you glow =). I LOVE fall too, although I'm not yet convinced that California fall is still fall when compared to New England fall...
ReplyDeletethis looks like a beautiful time of day to take photos. gorgeous light! it compliments your autumn colors well:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pumpkin patch and LOVE the pumpkin dress. So glad I stumbled upon your blog- definitely making my blog reel!

Aw, this post is adorable! I love that you ventured out of town in search of the perfect pumpkin! I don't know as I've ever been to a real pumpkin patch, but it definitely makes for gorgeous photos! You look so pretty, love this whole fall-inspired outfit and the lip color is amazing on you!!
ReplyDeletei've always wanted to go to a real pumpkin patch too! maybe i can convince my family to go this weeek. and i agree, fall may just be the best season ever - and that's coming from a girl who devotes herself to summer entirely. autumn is taking over my love.
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful, friend!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous and I'm totally with you on the real pumpkin patch thing. I've been telling my husband for two weeks now that we need to find a real one! ha ha So thats awesome you found one!

Love these photos Mara!! You look so pretty, and I love the pumpkin backdrop!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd love your outfit, and the colors.
I love the Fall season as well. It always seems to go by so fast though. And I love seeing pumpkins around! And the color of the leaves!! Can't be fall without that!
these photos are so beautiful! I love the pops of orange coming from the pumpkins in the background.
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year, too! (except it's still practically summer here in LA!!) You wouldn't happen to be in Oxnard, would you? I think my boyfriend was at that exact pumpkin patch this weekend! P.S. - love the composition of the photos! xoxo
ReplyDeletefollow me!
Absolutely beautiful - and what a perfect OOTD to wear for it! Yeah, Matthew, for your good research!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun at the pumpkin patch! I totally love this outfit! The dress, tights, sweater, boots, love it all! Happy Harvest!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit!! and YAY for pumpkin patches! Its funny to think that there are places that don't have pumpkin patches, I've been going to one every year since I was little that was only 10 minutes from my house, ha ha. I might not get there this year though... *cries*
