A few weeks ago I spotted this navy sweater on J.Crew Factory and new I needed it for fall (then again, when isn't that the case with me? :) It's almost identical to the version from J.Crew last year and I got it for an even better deal. The seersucker detailing on the back makes it a more fun piece, yet simple enough to still wear often without getting tired of wearing it. I've worn it 3 times already #guilty and can't wait to get more use out of it before the temperatures really cool down! Of course, I paired it with my favorite skinny jeans and booties to give it a little height. Speaking of booties, I snagged a pair during a Labor Day sale a few weeks ago and can't wait to share them with you soon! Stay on the lookout for a post within the next week or so. 

As per usual, shades of navy are my favorite for fall. Are you in the same boat?

Happy Fall Y'all!

It's officially the first day of the fall season and we couldn't be more excited! Bring on the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Riding Boots (monogrammed - of course) and Blanket Scarves! 

Here are FIVE of our favorite crafts to get your ready for fall!

You will make this recipe over and over again because you can whip up a batch of muffins in a dash and impress any crowd.

I shared these treats at work when I made them and y’all I am not kidding when I tell you that every.single. person. that tasted these muffins begged for my recipe. One of my male coworkers even asked me if he could take the recipe to his wife which made me giggle! I gave it to them, of course! Sharing recipes from my kitchen brings me so much joy.

The ingredients are very simple – likely things you already keep in your pantry. You can use any type of pecans you have on hand for the recipe – but, since I made these mini-sized I chose chopped pecans. You will note these are much more budget friendly than a traditional pecan pie because you only need a cup of pecans!

Melting the butter before mixing it in gives these muffins a soft, chewy texture. It removes any “air pockets” that can come about when you combine sugar with butter. Sugar actually cuts bubbles into a stick of butter when you cream them together leading to a lighter, more airy texture and can even lead whatever you are baking to rise a little higher. This also prevents over-mixing the batter as you’re able to gently stir in the melted butter. You will also find that your muffins stay extra moist – melting the butter first also increases its water content by allowing the oil and water to separate. There’s a little Cooking 101 for ya.

Your family and friends will sing your praises this holiday season when you serve them these tasty muffins!

Has the rain ever caught you by surprise? Did you not have what you needed to keep you warm and dry? Make sure you are prepared next time with these rainy day must-haves.
