Hi Everyone!

On chilly nights like how it was over the weekend, I love drinking hot apple cider. Since I haven't yet learned how to make my own, I've been enjoying Trader Joe's. Have you tried it? It's divine.

Over the weekend I swung into Target and found my new favorite shirt-- the boyfriend pocket tee. I don't know why Target always seems to have the worst photos on their site, but this tee is so flattering and incredibly soft. Paired with skinny jeans, flats and a scarf, this is going to be my go-to weekend outfit.

Happy Monday to you! How was your weekend?

Happy Friday to you! What fun do you have planned?

This is how I want to dress all fall and winter. To me, it's pretty much perfection.

Like many people, I'm trying to be more adventurous with my fashion. I picked up this belt at Ann Taylor because I consistently love the way high belted fashion looks on people in magazines and on people I see around town. I've tried it with a few outfits and it just didn't work. Do any of you have tricks for making the high belted look work?

I spotted this amazing cup over on The Bright Side Project. Isn't it fabulous?! It would certainly add the right amount of glitz and glamour to my desk!

Last night I attended a Hands on Small Business session hosted by kirtsy and Microsoft. The session discussed social media solutions for small businesses including using Office Live, Facebook, Twitter and blogs. As someone who loves social media (obviously) I found it to be really interesting. The instructors were very knowledgeable and engaging, and, the attendees were lively. I was even able to network with a few people and learn a few things. Imagine that!

I know more than a few people who would love Alicia Bock's new 2010 calendar. Each image literally transports me. I'm thinking of doing a series in my kitchen.

This was my favorite image from Lonny. I would love to have the space and the corner for a table just like that filled with beautiful plants.

As I've mentioned before, this past Spring and Summer we participated in a CSA and ate both locally and seasonally. I loved it and plan on doing it again next year. But, one of the challenges I came across was figuring out how to cook all the seasonal goodness that came in our box each week. Numerous times there were vegetables I'd never cooked-- kale, beets, okra and collard greens-- that looked wonderful but sat uncooked for several days.
