scarves

Fall is quickly approaching and my favorite fall accessory is: scarves! I always love adding to my ever-growing collection, and here are a few that are on my fall wish list.

Love the tassels on this one:




and of course there's the classic cashmere scarf, Nordstrom has a wonderful selection:

and if I were better at knitting, I would love to sport one that looks like this:



Check out this website for more unique scarves. The model is gorgeous, makes me want to go home and watch Madmen!

Baking Bonanza

As most of you know, I love to bake! Cookies, bars, cakes, bread, just about anything. This weekend I had lots of extra ripe bananas lying around so I decided to make some banana bread.  

I also got inspired by the quickly approaching fall season and whipped up some pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.  

Here is a wonderful recipe, I added about one cup of chocolate chips. Next up are some pumpkin bars! 

Have a wonderful Sunday evening everyone. 

All About Paper

When I was a student, I was always obsessed with day planners. I would keep my schedule up to date complete with homework assignments on a daily basis. I also love the feeling of accomplishment that accompanies crossing off tasks from my to-do list. Weird, I know. Actually I don't know if it's that weird - I've met several people who do the same thing... Since I'm not a student anymore and have no more lengthy homework assignment due dates to keep track of, the iPhone calendar works just fine for my schedule. But sometimes, I miss having a paper planner. In lieu of planners, I am finding a new obsession with calendars...

How cool is this typography calendar:

Back in Action

After a year+ hiatus from my blog, I've decided to come back to the blogging world. Here we go...

Two words describe life right now: law school.

It is pretty much what I expected, but I still cannot believe how much work Michael has on a daily basis.  I have been holding down the fort at home, cooking, cleaning, laundry, hanging out with the dogs, organizing our new house (hopefully pictures to come soon!), and taking classes at the university gym. Also, I discovered a wonderful dog park near our house which has been a nice retreat for Lily & Paxton.

This hot weather is reminding of our annual trip to Florida! We are leaving December 22, and I am already counting down the days. I stumbled upon these amazing swimsuits yesterday, just looking at them reminds me of the amazing beaches on Marco Island!

Fall is quickly approaching and I can't wait! Pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking, apple cider donuts, you get the idea.
