apples to apples.

last week, a friend & i set out on our first apple picking trip of the season. the weather was perfect- crisp & cool- and the apples were, well, everywhere.  needless to say, i came home with enough to feed a small army… along with 2 pumpkins, which really put me in the autumn mood. and while i love displaying mounds of red delicious & granny smiths as a rustic centerpiece, i thought i should put these apples to use and make my first fall dessert of the season: an apple tart. using a super easy recipe found here, i was able to get some use out of roughly 3 apples… now what to do with the other 25?

souvenirs.

it’s been a few weeks since my return from across the pond, so i figure it’s about time i share a few of my favorite souvenirs… from rad shoes to spare change, here are a few of my faves:

{can’t wait to debut these tartan beauties this fall}

{will. do.}

{skeletal smoking slips}

{spare change that now proudly fills an hermes ashtray}

shining stars.

 

this past sunday, henry and i settled into bed with a bowl of popcorn and a glass of wine to watch the emmy’s. sadly, many of my faves didn’t take home the coveted golden statue: lena dunham/ girls/ zooey deschanel to name a few… but there were plenty of glammed up looks to covet. here are some pics of the evening’s top looks:

{sweetheart neckline + ethereal texture + a whispy blue = perfection}

{loving the lace detailing}

{the perfect jewel tone}

{amazing accents: emily van camp’s clutch & bracelet make this look}

{peek-a-boo hemline adds a flirty touch}

{canary yellow pumps up this classic silhouette}

happy monday.

 

really loving this version of the song. basically i spent a lot of this last weekend jamming to it {sometimes just with henry}. enjoy and happy monday!
