Clemence Poesy

I am loving Clemence Poesy on Gossip Girl lately. (Yes, I'm a Gossip Girl fan - don't judge me!) She is so chic, so graceful, so quirky, so fabulous - everything I love! If I could only be a chic French girl too for one day - oh the cafes I'd visit, the fashion I'd wear, the overall attitude I'd have!

Happy Birthday Seaster

Sisters are something special - you can't explain it to those who haven't experienced the bond. And today, October 4th, is my seaster's birthday! Happy Birthday to the greatest, most special sister alive!

PS - Cupcakes were involved!

'Dem Apples

I truly believe that apples are the official fruit of Fall. And I use this as an excuse to make all kinds of apple pies, tarts, desserts, etc that I can because I just love them so!

But I have to admit, they don't always come out as perfectly as planned. Operation yesterday - this was the case! I went about making a simple apple crostata, and it turned into a crumble.

Yes, I hear you - those are two completely different make-ups of desserts. How could one morph into the other? Well, let me put it this way - my crostata crumbled! So we will simply be eating the "crumble" this week, but don't you worry - it is still ever so amazingly delicious!

Oh Wonderful Weekend

What a wonderful start to what will soon be a wonderful weekend! Oh weekend, I'm so glad you came around again - and not soon enough!

How could it be that Fridays just put you in a better mood? One day - the start of our weekend makes us so happy. I think we should just have more week-END and less week-DAYS! Doesn't that sound good to you? Maybe we would be in a better mood more often. Just a suggestion!

The Sophisticate

Wow-oh-wow! I'm in need of those shoes! Reed Krakoff is just knocking it all out of the park with his accessories and clothing line.

Isn't this sophistication at its best? This definitely goes on my Fall inspiration board. I'm going to be stepping it up a notch!

Dreamin' of a Picnic

What could be better than enjoying an outside picnic in this beautiful weather? That's what I have been dreaming of lately - good food, good wine, & a good man! I think I can muster up all three if the timing is right.

Fall Spirit

I'm already in my Fall state of mind and would love to be lounging around today in bed. This would be the perfect backdrop for me and with the windows open and slight breeze - so heavenly! I could seriously stay in that bed all day long! Ahh, Fall - isn't it the best!
