These fall months I am giddy when it comes to decorating. My living space becomes inundated with pumpkins, gourds, wreaths, and, of course, autumn candles. I am also a big fan of incorporating fall flowers into the mix. Rather than have a glass vase showcasing the flowers, I love using more pumpkins to display the flowers. These arrangements work well on mantels, sitting beside fireplaces, on shelves and stairs, or on the patio. Because, it’s hard to have too many pumpkins, right?! Here are a couple variations of pumpkin planters and some tips on creating your own!

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
Growing up in St. Louis, ooey gooey butter cake was a staple dessert. I remember seeing it at friend’s houses, grocery store bakeries and events around town. Living in Dallas, I have learned that it is a St. Louis regional dessert and there are some people not aware of this amazingly delicious, ooey gooey goodness. Gasp! This dessert just takes everything rich and savory and combines them into one delectable, moist bite.
2016 Halloween Costume Guide

Sloane Dress
While I had to work most of the weekend, the weather in Dallas could not have been more perfect! The cooler temperatures had me putting away my tank tops and pulling out my favorite fall threads – flannel, plaids and gem hues!
NYC Greenwich Village Food Tour

In celebration of a close friend’s 30th birthday, my group of girlfriends and I travelled up to New York City. We spent a portion doing a food tour through Greenwich Village, eating at approximately ten stops along the way. This area is filled with charm, history and delicious mom-and-pop Italian specialty food shops and restaurants. The tour was led by the Foods of NY Tours group (two thumbs up to our guide).
