In early September I visited Chicago for back to back wedding weekends. While I was there, I had the pleasure of stopping in and spending the day with my grandpa. He lives in the most beautiful modern home that he designed, overlooking a scenic, wooded backdrop. I love visiting that house as I have so many memories of it, and my grandpa has been doing some serious remodeling that is making it a dream house for mid-century lovers like me!
Upon opening my September Degustabox, I was completely pumped about finding two jars of chutney in there. I quickly realized that I had never used chutney before and was unsure of what I could actually do with it.

Not to worry y’all, that “summer bod” that you may or may not have worked for is ready to take a vacation, and it’s time to break out the “Fall bod”. Haven’t heard of it? It’s the one that can be hidden away beneath drapey sweaters and blanket scarves, cuddled up in leggings and swing dresses that look ultimately flattering on everyone, no matter how many PSL’s you devour. This body is ready to be stuffed with pumpkin nutella muffins, only to be disguised under this perfect lace trimmed swing dress.
Y’ALL I MADE BEER! It came out tasting just like a beer you would buy at the store, and I made it in my little apartment. I loved my experience so much that I’m giving a free kit away to a lucky reader! Check the end of the post for entry details.
After the longest short week of my life, all I can think about is reading my two new favorite books (just received Layered and Styled as early birthday presents!) and a big, delicious brunch. My intentions are to throw some veggies in the mix… but sometimes sprinkles just win me over.
These are the recipes I’m drooling over for the weekend, anyone have anything in mind for tomorrow morning?

If you’ve ever been to Tout Suite Houston (which if you live in Houston, you must go) you will know there are a lot of great choices for brunch. From trendy avocado toast with chili flakes to an awesome fried chicken benedict served over hash browns, there’s really no going wrong. What do I order? Time and time again I have ordered the mushroom toast. Continue reading “Tout Suite Houston Mushroom Toast Copycat Recipe”
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you will quickly see that I am a sucker for a really bad (good) pun. I am also guilty of ditching my cute clothes for a super soft tee shirt and PJ shorts the moment I finish dinner every night. So puns and baby soft tees, a match made in heaven, come together in this perfect “Some-bunny’s Sleepy” sleep top that I cannot (and will not) stop wearing! Continue reading “DIY Painted Pun Tee”
Happy September, y’all! Like every month this year, I feel like August has flown by. Though I’m not going to miss the worst weather of the year in Houston, I am going to miss that Summer feeling. There’s just something about Summer that is carefree and playful. We did a lot of rose drinking (and eating) this month to beat the heat, while wearing the lightest and brightest clothes I could design.
With that, September is here – the month of my birthday! – and lots of exciting things to come. I’m looking forward to lots of Oktoberfest beer drinking, pretending it’s cold enough to wear boots with my dresses, and cooking up some family comfort food.
Check out my August favorites to make sure you didn’t miss a moment of DIY lovin’! Any plans for Labor Day weekend to wrap up the Summer?
