Happy {Thanksgiving} Weekend!

I love this time of year, it reminds me to be thankful for the people in my life and not to fret the little things or when things don't go as planned. I'm so, so thankful for the wonderful and supportive family and friends I have around me. What are you thankful for?


I can't wait to eat good food and be surrounded by wonderful people.


Have a happy, happy Thanksgiving

Wine and Cheese Party

I love cheese, all kinds: gouda, chevre, feta, brie... I could go on and on, but I'll save you from boredom.

I would love to throw a wine and cheese party some day for my closest friends and family, and when I do, I'll be sure to replicate this idea from Real Simple. A tray filled with different kinds of cheese with labels about them, how it was made and which wine they pair best with. I love it- easy and super fun! Can't wait to start planning this.

Starbucks red cups- enough said.



Pumpkin flavore galore- pancakes, coffee, pies, bread, and muffins. yummy!



Colorful tights paired with short skirts/dresses.



Crunchy (more often than not, soggy) colored leaves!



Sexy boots that complete the outfit.

Happy {Taking It Easy} Weekend!


Happy Friday, finally!! This week seemed extra long for some reason! I'll be taking it super easy this weekend- watching movies, eating, and lots of sleeping. I'm hoping to fully recover from this nasty cold/flu/horrible illness that I just can't get rid of. Any special tips or remedies? I've been dousing myself in hand sanitizer and overloading on vitamin c, but unfortunetly it doesnt seem to be enough. I'm open to any and all recommendations on how to get better!


Rain or shine, have a happy, happy weekend!

I Want One!

Some people call it a shrug, others call it an oversized scarf- either way, I want one! It's the perfect piece for fall outfits.

My Future Home

I love to get ideas for my future home from blogs and magazines. A few I'd love to create in my home some day...

Comfortable, yet chic! I love it!


The kitchen is one of the most important factors in a house- this kitchen is breathtaking!

I love, love this office. It's so bright, chic, peaceful, and organized-I need it!

Olivia Palermo's Style

Olivia Palermo isn't my favorite person on the The City, but I love her sophisticated & chic style. She always looks perfectly put together, something I havent quite mastered yet.

Happy Monday!


Happy Monday! I'm feeling much, much better and happy to be back at work! I took it easy this weekend but thoroughly enjoyed getting out of bed and the house to do some errands around town. Josh and I went to Stepping Stone Cafe on Sunday, and they had the biggest pancakes I've ever seen/eaten! I couldnt even finish half of one pancake. It was delicious and I cannot wait to go back! How was your weekend? The soggy wet weather is definitely making it hard to get out and explore, even with a rain jacket and umbrella...


Have a great Monday! I'm so happy to be back on here!

First Thursday

It's First Thursday in the Pearl. If I wasn't sick I'd be at Fenouil's happy hour enjoying a delicious meal and a glass (or a bottle) of wine...ah, if only. I cannot wait until I'm done with this flu. I'm ready to have my life back. Until then I'm stuck in bed; reading and watching way too much TV.

I love the label on this wine bottle! I always choose my wine by the label. Love it!

Still sick. Sleeping and reading consume my time. I'm hoping to be back in action tomorrow!
