I'm trying to battle back from strep, a sinus infection and an ear infection all at once.
Today was the 1st day that I'd been up to trying to cool or bake anything.
I recently got the Kitchenaid wooden bowl mixer, it's crazy how excited I am over an appliance.
Regardless, these cookies are delicious! Little, bite sized apple pies.
Perfect for September!

Oh my goodness , she's back... and in more colors.
I love this dress SO much.

It runs small. Go a full size up.

If I'd been born 1 day and 5 minutes later, I'd of been born on September 1st.
However, even waaaay back in 1979 I said "no, way... no fall. I'm a summer girl."
Nearly half a century later, that's still 100% accurate!
This denim skirt ( see 2nd photo)
Is the perfect transition piece. It's great now when it's still warm. However, it's going to look gorgeous in the fall with sued boots and a cashmere sweater.

-Vegetable oil
- egg roll wrappers
- 2Tbs butter
-2 TBS flour
- 1/2 C milk
- 1/2 C cheese (your choice what type!)

I've been out of commission since Friday.
Sinusitis, an inner ear infection and strep.
What a combo.
However, this beauty finally arrived today!
I'm giddy to get her in action!

Labor Day weekend is cooking (😢)
If you have plans for a weekend getaway, let me suggest this Karen Kane sleeveless travel jumper.
It's really like you are wearing pajamas without looking like you are wearing pajamas. Super comfortable, can be dressed up or down.
Toss on a denim jacket and you have a nice fall transition outfit.

This delicious Caprese flatbread features a crispy crust topped with melted fresh mozzarella, sliced ripe tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and a tangy balsamic glaze.
It's so simple to make. It's the perfect weeknight meal, or can be served as an appetizer.

From earlier this week... this dress is such a good transitional piece as we go into fall. The rich chocolate brown says autumn, while the cut and material says "you can wear me now without having heat stroke"
This is great for for office, or for a date night.

This is my "wear it now, wear it in the fall" work "uniform".
As soon as the weather cools, I'll add a cardigan or blazer. Also, I'll swap the heeled sandals for an ankle bootie.

The focus now is things that can currently be worn, while still being appropriate for fall as well.
Today, in August I wore this sleeveless mock neck top and chocolate brown pants with heeled sandals. In the fall, I'll add a cardigan and swap the sandals for ankle boots.

You used to pay double for this.
Yup, you heard me. Skindnavia made Urban Decay's "All nighter" makeup setting spray for nearly 20 years.
UD dropped them to have a more profitable formula made.
Skindnavia got the last laugh by partnering with M.&CO beauty.
The EXACT same formula it was when it was made by Urban Decay. Now, it's 1/2 the price of what it was!

Keep your "fall, y'all!", I'm still summering over here!
I love this dress because it's great for work and play.
The office or date night, this dress just works. It's made from super soft poplin with the tiniest bit of stretch.

All of the pumpkins, back to school sales and fall outfits in the stores can change the fact that it's 90+ degrees, with humidity straight out of the tropics.

Coming to you today with another business casual office outfit.
This sleeveless cardigan is another piece that works now as I'm wearing it here. It will work in the fall with a long sleeve t-shirt under it.
I'm wearing it now with white linen pants. In the fall, I'll wear it with tan or brown corduroy pants and loafers.

I know that everyone is talking about fall fashion.
However, in the world outside of being on line, it's still summer.
It’s still in the 80's & 90's. We still have to get up and live your life.
So for now, I'm still going to be showing you what I'm wearing now. The wool, suede and tweed will come, but not just yet! 😉

Yesterday's torrential rain had my hair a total mess.
Still , I wanted to share this outfit because it's something that works now and for the fall.
As much as it pains me, I must keep fall in mind while making any purchase.
This top is so soft, it feels like it could be a pajama top.

Why do I always gravitate towards the most luxurious stuff? Grrrr.
Regardless, I splurged on this eye palette. It's pretty darn nice.
It blends very nicely, it's great for both day and night and has all day/ night staying power.

One of my "ride or die" products has been usurped by a $6.00 dupe.
If you have under eye circles like I do, this post is for you.
I need to use an under eye corrector under my foundation.
I have loved Charlotte Tilbury's one for years.
I was recently turned on to this one by Catrice. I'm surprised, but the $6.00 is BETTER than the w!!

Summer time can be brutal for those of us with thick textured hair.
I've heard amazing things about this line from Kérastase.
It fights frizz while adding shine and bounce.
So far, I've tried the drops. They smell so good and they are keeping the frizz at bay.
I'm excited to try the full line!

A quick little restock of two of my favorites.
Hour glass ambient blush and Lawless skip the filter foundation.
Both give that beautiful no make up , make up.

I wore this to work one day last week. It was perfect.

NOT cheating on my husband.
This is my boss. Both he and I had to leave our husbands at home.
This yellow dress got me SO many compliments.
It's so pretty and the color is just the best.
This dress would be ideal if you are going to be a guest at a wedding between now and September.

Loving my leopard!
My mom bought me these shoes for Europe.
I decided to test them out today to see if they are comfortable enough to wear all day.
They are! I love them. I'll be wearing them now through the fall.
