How fitting that today, the official first day of Fall, is the first day I saw my breath on my morning walk – ahh!
Coupled with this week’s chillier temps is the undeniably beautiful rainbow of colors that tree leaves all over the city have turned into, seemingly overnight. Fluttering to the ground and audibly crunching underfoot. ‘Tis the season! Here are this week’s favorite finds from around the web.
Favorite seasonal sip: Spiced Cider in Apple Cups. Edible vessels, people! ;)
Favorite DIY decor: Book Art. So smart and chic looking!
Favorite sweet treat: Butterfinger Blondies. My mouth waters when I stare at this picture.
Favorite piece of advice. Right?!
Favorite pop of color. Need this door for my future dream home.
Favorite sweet & savory bite: Sassy Sweet Potato Fries. Awesome sweet & savory combo of flavahs.
Favorite dizzy drink: Ginger Apple Bourbon. I think I’m making this tomorrow. Muwahahaha!
Favorite Show: Awkward. As if I needed another show to get sucked into! Sooo smart and funny though.
Favorite nail polish: NYC Quick Dry Nail Polish. Only $1.99/bottle, this nail polish dries in record speed.
Favorite (and freakiest!) spot: Great Belize Blue Hole. That is a straight up HOLE in the ocean.
Favorite meal on the go: Chicken Cashew Salad from Culvers. I had this salad a few weeks ago during a road trip. SO YUM.
Favorite wake up call. Awww. :)
Favorite recipe: Crack Bread aka Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pulls. I’m scared to make this for fear I will eat the entire loaf. I’m making it anyways.
Favorite serene scene: Emerald Gorge, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. Very Fern Gully-esque, no?
Favorite fashionista: Pippa Middleton. Can we trade closets?
Favorite new Larabar flavor: Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte.
TGIF everyone! :D













highlight: running my FINAL 20 miler tomorrow (marathon training!)
The highlight of my week was my birthday yesterday. :) It’s no fun getting older, but getting to eat cake is.
the highlight of my week will definitely be tailgating tomorrow!
My highlight of the week was talking to an old friend! We have recently moved and I miss her terribly!
This week’s biggest highlight so far was having Monday off work. But this weekend, I get to have dinner with my best friend, have a date night with my husband, and run 6 miles (okay maybe that isn’t a highlight) in a marathon relay so I think there are going to be lots of high points. If the Chicago Bears beat the Packers, that’ll be even more reason to celebrate!
The highlight of my week is going to be spending the weekend with my friend Laura!
TGIF! babysitting my 6 week old granddaughter tonight and then road tripping to Sioux Falls for a wedding on Sat! perfect weekend!
Walking my puppy to the farmers market in the GORGEOUS Chicago weather.
Surprisingly, my highlight of the week was the fitness class, Total Body Conditioning, I took on Wednesday. It felt so good to kick butt!
My niece being born!!
The highlight of my week- my birthday tomorrow :) Turning 25 baby.. haha … now I feel old :)
Detroit restaurant week!
Having a kindergarten boy who goes to the after-school program I work at tell me I’m really pretty. It was so sweet :)
