Everything in black and white...

Black and white can really add a lot of sophistication to a space...They are not colors I use regularly, probably because I'm not super sophisticated, but can't wait for the opportunity to try it on for size....hint hint...

And with a pop of color...

So Kardashian-esque right? So who wants to be my guinea pig?...Bueller? Bueller?
Happy labor day all! Spend it with your family and some greasy food...at least that's what I'm going to do..

Bring it inside....fall edition...

Have I mentioned lately that I love the fall...no?...oh let me tell you again...I L-O-V-E fall...Here's some examples of how to bring it into your home....

Bringing a pop of orange and some deeper browns can really add warmth to your home that is great in the fall...Like this...

You can also add coziness...with textured blankets or pillows...or even just a roaring fireplace...

Fur adds coziness...

So does anything knitted....

Or more literally...

Oh, it's so close I can smell burning leaves...or maybe the house is on fire...hmm...anyways how do you decorate for Autumn?

I am no chef...Fall edition...

It's getting close...really close...Oh fall, how I love thee...especially the foods that only taste good this time of year....or they taste good other times, but you don't tell people you just ate them...like when you eat chili in the summer, when it's 97 degrees, that's weird...Anyways, here's what I've been pinning, most of which I've tried myself, other's I will soon...

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Brownies...can we say yumm...Recipe here...

Chai Pumpkin Spice Cookies...Amaze-balls...Go here...

Crock pot applesauce....delish plus makes the whole house smell amazing...Found here...

S'mores cupcakes (haven't actually tried this one yet but eager to)...."Hey Smalls, you wanna s'more?..Some more of what?"...10 million points to whomever/whoever (?) knows what that's from...I know most people think of s'mores as a summer food, but in Kansas even at night it's usually too hot for campfires, our fire pit gets used 10x more in the fall, so around here s'mores are fall food. 

Pumpkin spiced latte....my absolute favorite....Try them...I'm telling you...go here...

Now, I'm off to get really fat....let me know how these turn out for you, or if you have any other fall recipes out there!

Get in my closet....Fall edition...

Saying "I love fall" is kind of like saying Jensen Ackles is cute....It's a complete understatement....I'm obsessed with Fall...Cooler weather, good food, football, apple pie, pumpkin patches, and everything else. With September coming soon I find myself "pinning" a lot of fall stuff lately. Therefore, I wanted to pass those along to you, both some recipes I've tried in a post later this week, and today some clothes I hope make it to my closet soon, and finally a post about how to bring fall into your home....

Adorbs...Boot socks=great look with the boot and leggings. I'm a boot and legging kind of gal...in fact if you don't see me wearing those in the fall, I'm probably naked...so stop staring...

Love this look...Leggings, leather jacket, knee high boots, and a white button down...perfection

Scarves...I love scarves....Especially this one, by Marc Jacobs, I wish I could justify this price...then again I can justify anything....

The high waisted shorts and tights look...Love it...Too bad heels don't really work for me, you know since 75% of the time I'm at home, and I might be a little overdressed, or I'd totally rock this look....or fall on my face...but still...

Riding boots....Love them, especially the worn leather ones, I got some last year and during the fall I never want to take them off......
What do you love in the fall?

What I've been pinning....

My laziness is seriously astounding....I complain about having no time to eat a proper meal, no time for a real workout, no time to brush my teeth (just making sure you're paying attention) and sometimes, no time for a conversation...yet, I can spend endless hours on Pinterest. Oh well....Here's what I've been pinning lately...

We have the hubby's 8 month old baby brother around sometimes (haha the first time I wrote this post I forgot the brother part...would have been fun to explain), therefore a glass coffee table isn't the greatest of options in our living room...plus we've always wanted something softer...So now I'm obsessed with the idea of diying a cocktail ottoman...Like these...Just click for source!

The newest thing in the blog world is hacking the Ikea Vittsjo Shelving unit... People have been painting them crazy good colors...

I seriously can't wait to take another trip to Ikea after seeing these.......

Love the idea of painting branches a bright color...such a simple and fun idea..

Great space, great layout...love the color scheme and those sofas are perfect...

Fantastic work space...loving the pink chair and eclectic mix...

These are fun...love halloween...definitely making these in gold this year to match my gold pumpkins :)
What have you been pinning lately?..........
