Sunday Suppers




It's almost lunch time and my tummy is grumbling so I decided to check out Sunday Suppers to see what amazing food inspirations they had on their site today. This Penne Pasta Frittata looks delicious, super easy and cost effective! I am totally going to make that for din-din tonight and have a glass of red wine. Who wants to join?




Bon Appetit!

Restaurant Review: Fabi and Rosi



This weekend I had the pleasure of dining at Fabi and Rosi. A friend and I went for brunch. I highly recommend this place! The Brioche Apple French Toast was unbelievable, I finished every bite! I am looking forward to trying this place out in a few weeks for dinner with my mom! Let me know if you have been before and what you recommend?




Located in central Austin!

Love



Finding love is what we all live for? Is it not? Humans seek love from their families, significant others, friends, and even pets. Love makes the world go round. I have been in love and I have lots of love in my life, and its a wonderful thing.I found a wonderful photography website, We Heart It, and took some of my favorite photos depicting scenes of people in love and just loving life to bring a little love into your Sunday afternoon!

Off for my long weekend run


I am doing the San Antonio Rock N' Roll Half Marathon in three weeks. So, today means an 8 mile run for me. Yikes! This is my second half marathon but I do not have fond memories of my longer distance runs...Wish me luck!

Tastefully done Halloween Decor

Halloween is almost here. I am going to be a flapper this year. Basically, because I already have the costume, it's cute, and I am too lazy to think of anything else. What are you guys dressing up as? Any fun plans? In honor of Halloween I have found some very cute Halloween decor to get our minds ready for this very fun holiday.
Happy Haunting!

Tommy Hilfiger Spring/Summer 2011 Collection

To be quite honest, Tommy Hilfiger has not been on my radar since his overalls hit the streets in 1993 (roughly...What was I thinking?). However, I came across his summer/spring collection and I am in love. The clothes remind me of taking a stroll on the marina! The bright colors are to die for. I would truly take this whole collection and gladly bring it home with me. I wish! Take a look for yourself.

Dessert Bars

Nothing makes me happier than dessert and I don't think I am alone when I say this. One of my favorite special touches for events are themed dessert bars. They can go together with the style and feel of your event or match the color scheme you have. You can have so much fun creating great dessert bars! Here are a few to spark your imagination!Photo Credit: Love and Lavender Photo Credit: Amy Atlas (Above three photos)

Cute ribbons!

In honor of my adorable little neice (ADDISON RILEY) being Chris and Megan's flower girl in Costa Rica next month, I decided to write a post about some fun and unique flower girl trends. Take a look at these cute ideas from Martha Stewart Weddings.

Texas Fight!


It's that time of year. Texas/OU weekend. I leave today as soon as I am done with work and I can only imagine how much traffic there is going to be. This will give me plenty of time to pick out my outfit for the game! Dallas bound!
