Even more Tartan.

Of course Anthropologie would come out with tartan bedding. Look how magical it looks!

I'd like to jump right in and stay there for two days straight...

Hi Cousin Cynthia.

I miss you. Around this time last year we were together with you for Thanksgiving.

Music for your liking.

It's Winter. My music taste usually changes with the weather. I say usually, but it doesn't always happen that way. Sometimes I need the jumpier tunes in the cold weather to keep the spring in my step. Sometimes I prefer the more mellow route. All in all, this is what I'm listening to right now.

1. Two Door Cinema Club-Undercover Martyn


2. Neon Trees-Animal


3. Islands-Don't Call me Whitney, Bobby


4. Sufjan Stevens-Casimir Polaski Day


5. Fitz and the Tantrums-MoneyGrabber


6. The Beatles (totally jazzed that they're available on iTunes!)-From Me to You


Enjoy the musical tastings today. Happy Wednesday!!

Feisty Boots

Is it just me, or does she make you want feisty boots?

I'll take these

or these, gladly.

Holiday recipe-Baked Brie

Remember I posted this last year? Well I thought it was time to re-post since the holidays are approaching. Baked brie is an absolute crowd pleaser. I made one last week, and then my cousin Cindy emailed me today about it. When we were in South Africa last Thanksgiving, I made two and people went NUTS! She'll be making them herself this year!

Last week, I made one with "easy pumpkin pie mix", a dollop of blackberry jam, and slivered almonds. Soooo delicious.

Go ahead..try it out, and let me know how it went!!!

Leopard on the loose.

Take a look at JCrew's updated wedding section.

There is a baby leopard on the loose named Mabaka. Talk about hazardous modeling..but it seems like this kitty remained calm. What a fabulously dramatic shoot!
