Happy Friday, gang! It’s time to kick off the weekend with my best friend by my side, Oscar, who happens to turn nine this month! He’s turning gray, just like me… I have him on a special diet since German Shepherds are prone to arthritis and hip/joint problems, and it seems to be doing the trick, as he has no signs of slowing down. He loves to race back and forth against the fence in my backyard, letting the deer know in no uncertain terms that this is HIS yard. Deer beware! Even with all of Ocsar's antics, we are all about Cozy Friday Fall Outfits today.
Of course, Kelly stopped by to turn an average Friday afternoon into a culinary experience. Today, she whipped up a delicious salad with all of my favorite fixings. And we made an Autumn Fizz that’s the perfect fall cocktail!

Since it’s Friday, I couldn’t resist slipping into a cozy half-zip sweater from Talbots with a denim shirt from J.Crew tucked underneath. Friday is always about casual weekend ease, so I’m typically sporting a pair of everyday relaxed jeans from Talbots if the weather is cooler or a pair of shorts if the thermometer has soared past ninety degrees. But fall has definitely arrived in Georgia as the temps have been delightfully mild with lows in the 40s and 50s! Love this time of year!!

Loafers are on style repeat all season long. Their comfort can’t be beaten, and they make a preppy statement all on their own.

I can’t resist a stripe – any stripe. I absolutely love stripes. So the new Shrunken Cashmere Sweater in Rugby Stripe from J.Crew was an immediate purchase for me. Not only for its stripes, but the navy/camel combination is incredibly versatile with all of the neutrals in my fall and winter closet. Nor can I resist fun pattern mixing. Hence my Rothy’s The Original Slip On Sneakers in navy/camel camo. These are several years old, but there are plenty of new prints and solids to choose from at Rothy’s.

I also enjoy bucking tradition, so…White Denim. A perfect post-labor day color all fall and winter in my wardrobe – it’s a perfect way to brighten any day. Don't make the mistake of rotating your white denim out of your fall/winter closet to create a Cozy Friday Fall Outfit!
This is the perfect fall cocktail for when the weather is pleasant: not too cold, but not too hot. It's a refreshing drink that packs fall punch with the sparkling apple cider.
I love this salad because it's a great main dish any time of day; brunch, lunch, or dinner; it's satisfying and delicious! I call it a Brunch Main Dish salad here because of the bacon and eggs, but make no mistake this is a great main dish salad for any meal.
Oscar, Ollie, Kelly, and I wish you a lovely weekend!

Love your Friday posts because we get to see and hear about Ollie. He looks awesome. Being a dog lover with three rescues that keep me moving I love getting to share with other dog lovers.
And that salad recipe! I have everything I need to create this in my kitchen right now, so this will get tested in the next day or so.
Down here in southeast Texas we are so looking forward to our first “fall” weekend. Can’t wait to pull out the sweaters and boots. Have a wonderful weekend,
Dogs truly are man’s best friend! Cheers!
Great outfits, lovely dog. Our 8 year old golden retriever (also a deer deterrent) gets glucosamine supplements that keep her pretty puppy like. Have a lovely day!
Glad to hear it! I’m a big believer in supplements too. Cheers!
The green sweater looks wonderful on you Beth. Kelly looks great too!
What a beautiful shade of green! And green is on trend this year so easier to find a shade you like. Cheers!
I too love your Friday posts with Oscar! Happy early birthday, boy! I really like your head-to-toe Talbots (sweater and jeans) and Kelly looks nice and makes a good point about white jeans for fall/winter. I WILL try your cocktail and main brunch salad — this looks easy (within my capabilities) and satisfying (also low-carb).
Have a great weekend!
Happy Birthday to Oscar!!! Love you!!
Kelly, I am making your salad this Sunday for brunch will add avocado that I have on hand. The strudel from two weeks ago was great with asparagus in place of green beans. Best to Beth.
