It's turning colder this week, so it's jacket time. There are so many styles I like and all very different! The problem is deciding. Couldn't you just sleep in the Hanii Y jacket? It looks so comfy and cozy. I'm also really into turquoise right now, so I was drooling a bit over the Diane Von Furstenburg. What kind of jacket are you wearing this season?

Happy Weekend!

This weekend is going to be a relax, stick close to home, and catch up on some sleep weekend. I'm very excited about it actually. Lately, I've been really missing the mountains and fall foliage, so we may go in search of some for us to see. Hope you have a great weekend.

If you get a chance check out the Chloé Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. Such a stunning collection from the clothes to the ballerina shoes. I'm drooling over the white dress with the red ballerina's.

Venomous Villain

So have you seen the MAC collection featuring some the Disney Villain's? I was looking for fun fall nail colors and ran into these, which I am told are all the rage and always sold out. We have Formidable!, Mean & Green, and Bad Fairy. Now I prefer much more of a natural/neutral look on my fingers, but my toes can have all the fun they want and I do loves the metallic. What do you think of them?

Hello My Pretties

Okay, I am breaking from my fall theme to show you these beauties photographed here by Marie Labbancz. They are turquoise, they are sparkly, and they are Christian Louboutins. Need I say more?? What beautiful wedding shoes. I'm excited to see the pictures of them on the bride.

Fall Yummies

So around this time last year I was ready to pop and majorly jonesing for something pumpkiney. You know how that goes when your pregnant, there was no stopping me til I got my fix. I found an absolutely yummy recipe (thank you Martha Stewart) and made me some pumpkin goodness then topped it with a cream cheese icing and some cute fall sprinkles (pic above). Mmmmmmm. Here it is typed out and ready to go: Enjoy!

Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon coarse salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I doubled this because I love nutmeg.)
* 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
* 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
* 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree (I used a 14-ounce can and it was still lovely and pumpkin-y)

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and the spices. In another bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and eggs. Add dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Then whisk in pumpkin puree.

Line the cupcake pan with liners and fill each about halfway with batter. Bake until tops spring back when touched and a cake tester comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Rotate the pans if needed. (I have one pan, so did not bother with that step.) Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely before icing.

Cream Cheese Icing

* 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
* 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
* 3 cups icing sugar, sifted
* 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and sugar.
