Holidays



Happy Halloween Everyone! 

BUT, I'm not too big on Halloween - I am much more excited about Thanksgiving! So here is a cute little reminder of what is coming up in this my second favorite month of the year (first favorite is December of course).

In Season

Halloween is creeping around the corner and I have found some of the cutest treats to celebrate! Also, I still have no clue what I want to be for halloween and I am super sad about it. I need some inspiration!

Options

I'm giving out two options here today. 

Option A: a healthy dessert dip - looks and tastes (apparently, haven't made it yet) just like cookie dough.





Option B: a complete and utterly amazing looking dessert that has ZERO healthy qualities to it





You decide :)

Timing

As I was chatting with my friend today about how we wish we made more money and how difficult juggling our shopping addictions and paying rent is in our prospective cities, I stumbled upon this "Eat Well, Spend Less Pantry Menu." The timing could not have been more perfect. Check out some of the great ideas below.

From lentils to beans to pasta - these are some great ideas. Check out the full blog post to see more great recipes!

Satchels

I am a sucker for a good satchel bag ("It's not a purse it's a satchel!") and Anthropologie has some of the most adorable ones I have seen in a while! Check them out:






J Brand

Everyone has that perfect pair of jeans that always seem to fit just right. My favorites are my J Brand skinny ankle jeans. Perfect for fall with boots or spring with flats! Here are some of my other faves from J Brand Jeans.
