Five things I am crushing on right now

1). Tory Burch recently released her line of watches and I am crushing so bad. These watches are a little bit expensive but so worth it. I love watches, it's like sunglasses I never feel like I have enough and I always want more. The watch pictured here is the gold tone and orange Tory watch, this is one of my favorites that I hope to pick up soon.

2). This trench coat from Akris Punto is just darling. As a record collector and lover of all things vintage this trench coat is just perfect for me. The print is the perfect amount of pop mixed with the perfect vintage print, It's way out of my price range right now but something i definitely want to save for.

3). I love good makeup just as much as the next girl which is why this lipstick from Face in "cream darkest port" is on my list. It's just the right shade of deep red for Fall and I'm so happy that it's sweater weather so I can wear it.

4). I'm addicted to coffee we all know that, I drink anywhere from three to five cups of coffee a day and would drink more if days weren't so short. Last week I discovered this gem in the cooking section at Barns & Noble. It's published by DK out of the UK and is filled with so much amazing information that I can't stop reading. There's everything from recipes to what seems like every kind of bean in existence. If your a coffee addict like me you should look into picking up this book.

5). Every girl out there dreams of Tiffany's at night (or maybe just me) so when I heard Tiffany's released a new line called Tiffany T I had to go over and check it out. Of course I fell in love right away! I just had to have something from this collection (not that I have yet) but I really want to get this bracelet. It's perfectly simple enough to wear during the day yet elegant enough to wear out at night. This is something I really need to invest in.

Recipe: pumpkin waffles

It's fall and you know what that means? Everything pumpkin! I just love pumpkins and everything you can make with them like roasted pumpkin seeds and Shipyard pumpkin head beer (not that I enjoy beer that much). 

Here is a recipe for some amazing pumpkin waffles that I like to make in the Fall. The prep and cook time is short and they taste delicious!

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 5 minutes

Total time: 15 minutes

Tip: mix by hand to get a thicker batter

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

2 pinches of salt

2 fresh eggs

1/4 cup of brown sugar

1 cup can pumpkin puree (I prefer fresh pumpkin but it's not easy to do)

3 cups milk

4 tablespoons butter (well melted)

Directions:
1). Mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in a large mixing bowl

2). Use a second bowl to mix the eggs, sugar, pumpkin, milk and butter.

3). mix all together and pour into waffle iron accordingly. This should only take 4-5 minutes to cook.

Top with butter, warm maple syrup or your favorite fruits or if your like me some strawberry jam.

Fall staple outfits

Now that were in the thick of the Fall season and I can finally wear sweaters without the weather going wonky. With Fall being my favorite season there are just so many things I can wear.

I have come up with a list of my favorite staple Fall outfits that are ready to wear right now.

Shirt: classic plaid button down, Sweater: speckle cable knit sweater, Hat: classic hat, Jeans: high rise skinny, Boots: bean boot, Socks: (similar), Sunnies: wayfarers

A good flannel with a cableknit sweater and some boots is the perfect outfit for a cool Fall day. Pair it with some fair isle socks and a washed out hat and your good to go.

Sweater: elbow patch sweater, Skirt: zip mini, Shoes: reva ballet flats, Bracelet: zoe bow cuff

Try pairing a good oversized or longer sweater with a skirt like this one. Wear it with a pair of black flats and some simple jewelry for a simple yet still distinctively femanine look.

Sweater: varsity stripe v-neck, Jeans: 1969 always skinny jean, Shoes: marley ballet flats, Hat: colorblock wool baseball cap, Glasses: greenleaf, Necklace: ribbon letter monogram

A varsity style sweater with a good pair of skinny jeans and a baseball cap goes well with tan flats and a monogram necklace. You can complete the outfit by adding some tortoise shell glasses to give it that college look.

Dress: denim shirt dress, Shirt: long sleeve stripe top, Shoes: pretender, Belt: woven leather belt, Bracelet: heart tag charm bracelet

I have always loved denim dresses because they can be worn in both Fall ad Spring with a simple change from light to dark. This dress from Land's End pairs nicely with brown cowboy boots and a leather belt. Add a striped shirt underneath to add some warmth and top it off with a simple bracelet like this Tiffany's heart tag charm bracelet.
