Sweet Potato Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Ironically, the day before I made these cupcakes I told my friends, “I’m just not a fan of fall flavored desserts.” It’s true, I prefer blueberry pie over pumpkin, cookie dough cinnamon rolls over your typical version, & a green tea latte over everyone’s favorite PSL. I do, however, love fall flavors in savory foods: fig grilled cheese, squash & goat cheese […]
Butternut Squash Curry Soup Recipe
I’m all about using ingredients I already have in the house lately. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I’m taking over every inch of every closet in my apartment (sorry roomie!) or the fact that I have enough condiments to open up my own hot dog shop but I just don’t see these recipes […]

Mini Cranberry & Blueberry Pies
Everyone knows the typical Thanksgiving dessert is pie. Pumpkin, apple, pecan–you know the drill. It seems the second summer is over (still crying about that) everyone pushes those blueberries aside & everything becomes pumpkin this & pumpkin that. Which is great and all except it’s super awkward when everyone shows up to dinner with the same […]

Ever since I spotted these gorgeous heels on Margo & Me at Create + Cultivate I knew I had to have them. Yet once I found out who made them I knew it most likely wouldn’t happen. I’m all for splurging when appropriate but these heels felt more like something I would wear just a few times […]

Burgundy x Blush
The deep hues of burgundy hat paired with the blush pink heels. The rough leather jacket paired with the flirty floral dress. The delicate bow heels paired with a mixed print dress. Clearly contrasting fabrics, patterns, textures, & styles is one of my favorite ways to play up an outfit. Since the fabrics & textures were […]
