I started after brunch with some of my favorite DC area bloggers this Sunday, with a stroll down Connecticut Ave. \u00a0I used to work in the area, and I was happy to see that one of my favorite stores was still there. It looks like I won't be able to make GHOE (the Greatest Homecoming on Earth - Aggie Pride!), but I still made a hopeful GHOE outfit purchase that made me think of fall sunshine. Most people are all on the pumpkin thing right now with oranges and browns. \u00a0I did something a little different with some yellow and gray. Photo from Gap.com Photo from Gap.com Photo from Gap.com Only thing I didn't do was skip out of the store - I probably would have if I didn't have those insanely high heels on... I mean, it was brunch - high ridiculous heels are essential - am I right? Yes... Yes, I am right. Just added some sunshine yellow to my fall wardrobe from @gap... Warm, sunny sweaters for when the days get gray! #happy \u2014 SocaMom (@SocaMomDC) October 21, 2012 \u00a0 @socamomdc Glad to hear that! Everyone needs a little yellow in their wardrobe. #bebright \u2014 Gap (@Gap) October 21, 2012 Being from the south, with Caribbean blood, being cold is not my cup of tea... ever. \u00a0With each brisk wind, and each afternoon that seems darker than the last, I thought back to a trip I made to Brookstone for a blogging event last year, and a wonderful little light that could have the power to help me harness my joy - the joy that seems to hibernate in the winter. \u00a0It's called the \"Happy Light\". Photo from Amazon.com When I saw it, I was thinking - why is a little happiness THIS expensive? \u00a0So I checked on\u00a0Amazon.com and found some that were on a super sale. You can get one for as little as around $39 ! The ones that are $89 on Brookstone.com, are only about $63 using this link - last I checked there were 10 left in stock. Not bad... Here's what they say about \"mood, energy, and revitalization lights\" on Verilux's (the manufacturer) website:"}
