Socks & Stripes

I don't have Mociun money to plunk down on these awesome animal stripe tights, but I found an affordable alternative- just ten dollars at Target!

Here I'm wearing them with my new super-soft alpaca fleece socks.

With Cherries on Top

My mom made my brother's favorite birthday cake (back when he ate cake) out of (birthday) season on Sunday. I love her Black Forest recipe and it's even nicer when the layers aren't sliding in the summer heat.

Fun Size

Brian and I planned a road trip to White Castle in Tom's River on Saturday. Even though my whole life I hated that holey meat served on small wet buns, suddenly I had a craving... or I guess what is called "the crave".

New Kerchief In Town

I want this delivered to my doorstep.

Mosty Toasty

This buttered toast Modcloth scarf would be the perfect accessory for my diner Friday breakfasts.

Fall Out (& In)

Incorruptuble

Did you hear about the New York City-based artist and photographer who documented every day for six months her Happy Meal's "shocking resistance" to "decomposition and biodegradability"?

Mmm. McDonalds.

She Said Yes

For winter, I want one of everything knitted by YesJess.

How about a Massive Pom Pom Hat?

Some Alice in Wonderland Fingerless Gloves for toasty typing...

A fallen Leaf Headband...

The Braided Maiden Headband...

A simple Twist Earwarmer...

The Big ol' Bow Earwarmer in black (or red if you dare)...

A cozy charcoal heart to hold:

Plus lots of slouchy hats, super thick cowls, bows and bows and bows.

Fringe Benefit

Love this outfit on the left. Loose tee, slouchy sweater, scrunched socks, fringed boots.

You'll Be Smitten

Last night I made this cauliflower soup; it was really simple and delicious. Other than some chopping it just about made itself.

I also grilled us sandwiches: a rustic batard, aged sharp cheddar and ripe tomato.

Was too hungry to shoot my own photos, but they looked just like these on Smitten Kitchen, I promise.
