Pumpkin Patch







On a bit of a whim, Bobby, Kimbly and I went to Colonial Springs Farm on a hunt for pumpkins and apple cider donuts. They didn't have the donuts (they're only available on weekends) but the pumpkins were plentiful. They had little radio flyers to pull your pumpkins with. We also used it to carry our purses!





They also had corn mazes, a petting zoo, raw honey (we walked by the tiny apiary), fresh apple cider and homemade pies! We left with pumpkins and the best apple pie I've ever had. The three of us devoured it in one day. Kim and I keep looking at each other and saying, "Why aren't we supermodel thin again? I don't get it." She's my food enabler (like Brendon and Jason in Home Movies). I need to get it together. But it was sooooo good. SO GOOD.



While searching for our pumpkins, we saved this little slug from destruction. Surely he would have been crushed underneath that pumpkin! Bobby and I named him Wiggles. Kim is upset because she thinks his name is Fluffy. Two to one. Wiggles it is!






The farm was quite magical. I'm kind of glad that we were all overdressed for the occasion, because it made it that much more enjoyable. It was like something from a storybook. I think we'll be going back this weekend to hunt down those donuts!

My outfit details: vintage dress from Beacon's Closet, tights and shoes from Target
Kim's outfit details: shirt from thrift store, jumper from Beacon's Closet, tights and shoes?
Bobby's outfit details: shirt and belt from H&M, tie by Calvin Klein, jeans from Target, shoes from Urban Outfitters


Love love,
Keiko Lynn

Speaking as a fledging artist (I like to paint), I must say that you have one of the most aesthetically beautiful faces I've ever seen! You are truly blessed. :)

This is absolutely stunning! You guys look like you had such a blast. And your outfit is wonderful! "Why aren't we supermodel thin again? I don't get it." This made me LOL. Anyway, I hope you get those cider donuts! Be sure to tell us how they taste.

I love how you all dressed for the event! I work at an apple orchard, so cider (and pumpkin) donuts are always plentiful. Go get you some! Beautiful as always!

you are a brave women for venturing out into a pumpkin patch in heels! The ones I used to go to were all so muddy this time of year (but it was Oregon so it follows...) I wish I had pumpkin patches close to me now, darned city living with no car...

Hi Keiko,
I love this pumpkin editorial! Never had an idea that whole fields of this are accessable by the public. Really fairy-tale-like! (And perfect for the pumpkin season). Did you think about sending a few pics to the farm owners, in case they have a homepage? Lovely greetings from LillysGarden,
Lilly :)

Selina said...

Oh I love, love, love that dress and it looks so very pretty on you. The slug was a bit of a surprise as I was scrolling through the photos - utterly, utterly terrified of slugs, had to scroll very quickly past it while simultaneously freaking out!

Shopper said...

You're looking amazing! I love that dress.

Helen said...

I love that that farm has little red carts for your pumpkins! The one we went to just had shopping baskets which were pretty hard to lug around with 3 heavy pumpkins in.

Cristina said...

i miss pumpkin picking/having a pumpkin at all and carving it and toasting the pumpkin seeds :)

LOVE how you and your friend are even wearing fall colours in your outfits. too cute!

laura said...

What I admire most about this blog and the way you dress is clearly shown in this post you and your sister and your boyfriend wearing such beautiful outfits just to go to a punpkin field.
or when you're at that farm (you use another word when talking about itm, but I can't remember right now) and all dressed up.

Sylvie said...

You look particularly lovely in this dress, very chic! And I love those shoes, they are so simple and elegant.

Lucile said...
