LIGHTHOUSES + APPLE PICKING

You know, normally I do these posts on Mondays---but since coming back from vacation I am a little behind...mmmkay?

Here's what's good lately:

1. Since it's finally not crazy humid out, my curls are no longer pure frizz, so that's delightful!

2. There is nothing, I repeat NOTHING better than spending time at Lambeau. Even in the pouring rain.

Watching the Packers beat the Vikings Thursday was just too good to be true!

3. Michael and I took a mini vacation to Door County over the weekend- and despite some on and off rain, it was the perfect fall excursion. Hanging out on Lake Michigan, enjoying the fall colors, apple picking- if you ever head over to Door County and want some tips, be sure to send me an email!

4. Speaking of apple picking- if you like HoneyCrisp apples- you HAVE to go pick your own. $1.70/pound vs $4/pound in stores. Plus, then you can take some artsy as heck orchard pictures ;-)

What's been good with you lately?

Anyone else doing any cliche Fall activities lately?

FALL 2014 MUST-HAVE BAGS

Oh Fall.

I love you something fierce.

Every fall I always gravitate towards buying 3 things: scarves, riding boots, and a great bag.

Here are the top 12 that have caught my eye...

1. CAMBRIDGE SATCHEL: Ooooh these bags. I can't decide whether to love the saddle or the oxblood more... 

2.  LOEFFLER RANDALL: These bags made the must-have list because I am absolutely in love with the envelope shape. And that black + black clasps? Beyond sophisticated.

3. REBECCA MINKOFF: The Amorous Satchel made this list because it has some seriously excellent fall color options. Charcoal + Black Cherry + Petrol? One of each, please.

4. FOLEY + CORINNA: The size & shape of the Frame Satchel is exactly perfect for stashing a scarf if the weather gets cool. I'll take that Whiskey colored one in a heartbeat!

Now I want to hear from YOU!

Which of these excellent bags would you love for Fall?

The Foley + Corinna in Whiskey is definitely at the top of my list.

TAKE A SIP: GRAPEFRUIT SIPPER

See, when I posted my last drink recipe on this here blog I figured it would be the last uber-fruity drink I'd post for a while, since Fall was here.

Welp.

It was 80 degrees this weekend, and to me, that just ain't hot cider weather.

Hence this recipe for a super easy grapefruit sipper!

 

What you need to make it happen:

- Fresh Squeezed red grapefruit juice (of course store bought works too!)

- 1 1/2 ounces vodka (I used Svedka)

- 1/2 ounce triple sec

- Splash lemon juice

- Mint for garnish

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Combine all ingredients.

Step 2: Pour over ice & garnish.

Step 3; Enjoy!

Anyone else having unseasonably warm weather in their area?

Thanks Wisconsin, for being so gorgeous!
