grandma's cheesecake

Foodie Friday comes but one day late!

Now you all probably know by now that our Grandma has impeccable taste when it comes to style,
but we bet you didn't know she's also one of the most fabulous cooks we've ever met! This week
we tried our hand at one of our favorites from Grandma's top secret recipe box: cheesecake!



We must say, for out first attempt, it was SO delicious! We learned from the best!
The recipe will remain secret, but you can all salivate over the finished product! ;)

Do you have any favorite secret family recipes?!

white noise


j. crew sweater (similar style here), h&m dress (similar style here), hue tights (available here), j. crew necklaces (similar style here), silver bracelet from mexico, marc jacobs tote (similar style here), nine west boots (stolen from mommy's closet - similar style here)

Bear with these grainy pictures, the weather is killllling the lighting in our house! I even had to pull out the point-and-shoot camera. I guess two Canons are better than one! Tomorrow's sun should fix things right up.

And how are we liking the new sweater?!

tortoise


Hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine involved lots of reading, shopping, baseball,
errands, and a night out with lovey where I wore this. Don't you love tortoise accessories?



bcbg leggings with leather patches (similar style here), h&m sweater (stolen from mommy's closet - similar style here),
steve madden wedges (available here), tory burch cuff bracelet (similar style here), chanel earrings,
neiman marcus fringe bag (worn as a clutch - similar style here)

I'm holding on to these last few days before the temperature dips into the 50s with my open-toe wedges.
Not that I'll retire them for the winter, I'll just have to warm them up with some tights!

sweet & salty



Lovey's a bit of a health freak, so when I'm at his house, I'm always fishing out the most sugar-filled treats in his cabinet (which is typically some sort of dried fruit. read: prunes). This is no bueno for a dessert fiend like me.

Luckily, I have an ally - lovey's sister! She was home from college this weekend and baked up these deeeelicious treats. They were the perfect blend of sweet and savory - I just had to bake them up myself!




Yes, pretzels in a cookie mix. Trust me, you will love them.
Grab the recipe here and get to baking!

foliage


Today was a perfect Fall day - sun, wind, and the streets in our neighborhood are already covered with leaves!
I love the change of season and the beautiful colors it brings <3



bcbg sheer top (similar style here), vintage levi's cutoffs (available here), minnetonka boots (available here), missoni for target tights, house of harlow 1960 key necklace (available here), h&m fringe bag (similar style here), ralph lauren aviator sunglasses (available here), kenneth jay lane ring (similar style here)

In theory, I love the high boot, cutoff jean combo, but when I look at these pictures, my legs are looking a little vertically challenged.. Nothing was stopping me from wearing these tights, even if it meant shorter legs! They look so "Fall" to me - how do you like them!?

picture perfect



A few weeks ago, Sally sat for her senior portraits (she's all grown up, *tear*)!

Before every school picture we've ever taken, our Mommy would take pictures of us so we could "practice" our smiles (we would really ham it up for the camera when we were little!), and this year was no exception!



ralph lauren button down, dl 1961 jeans (available here), gold necklace (similar style here)
and ring (similar style here) from grandma, chanel bag, tory burch sandals (similar style here)


Picture day outfit selection is always a tough process being that you're forever immortalized in a yearbook.
But we think Sally made the right choice with Ralph Lauren ;)

What was your all-time favorite picture day outfit?!

kickin' it old school


What do you get when you cross Run DMC, Michael Jackson, and Mr. T?! This outfit. Made in the '80s, baby.



vintage suede jacket (stolen from Mommy's closet - similar style here), kenneth jay lane coin necklace (similar style here), j brand skinny jeans (available here), tree tank (similar style here), gold snake tassel necklace from grandma (similar style here), payless brash platforms (available here), neiman marcus fringe bag (similar style here), vintage cocktail ring (similar style here)

Luckily for this little jacket, red and suede made a resurgence this side of the millenium in the form of AW11.

Bigger hair and this lipstick (which Sally just bought!) would've made this look.
Takes me right back to the decade I spent all of two years in.

I'm going to blast some Van Halen now..
