Pining over Fall

After the Fall "fashion"-centric post I made last week, I thought Fall food/recipes should get a little love, too! Here are some recipes that caught my eye last week (although it looks like such a lazy selection when 3 of them are from the same blog... sigh).


Cider rum punch (versesfrommykitchen.com)

Spicy chipotle sweet potato soup, spiced bourbon apple pie, and aztec hot chocolate
(all via abeautifulmess.com ... can you tell i love their recipes?!)

Pumpkin cheesecake (via kwestiasmaku.com - in Polish ;)


I'm starting a new job this week, I'm both nervous and excited!
Wish you a not-so-terrible Monday!

Fall-ing!

So glad fall is finally here! Big scarves & jackets, loafers & boots, skirts & black tights.
Here are some cute stuff from Pinterest:
leather jacket & scarf // stripes on stripes // layers // black & white
heeled booties // moccasins // booties

Quiche and Links

Shrimp Quiche I made the other day; it was delicious! Here's the recipe (in French)!
And while I'm here, I'd like to share a few fun links I've discovered lately:

Pinstrosity: this site reminds me of my DIY adventures, especially the last one I'm struggling with, ugh.

Golden Retriever Puppy Cam: the most adorable puppies!

The Sun Hasn’t Set on the Drive-In: someone pleaaase get me to a drive-in!

Pins of the week (006)

Ouch, that's the third one in a row! I planned to go out and shoot a few nice pics for a post this past week but the weather didn't cooperate. Crossing my fingers for better weather ;)


A few days ago, I started this Splendid Summer board for this awesome giveaway on Oh Joy! Prizes include an iPad and coupons + products from Slendid - I'm so there! Besides, this little board's been a nice distraction from the bad weather.

Have a great week!
