It's All In day. And this outfit isn't my usual. It's something that is super fall. It's not preppy, it's not super fitted, but to me it says Saturday in fall. Cozy, chic, colorful, comfortable. Oh and you will NEVER guess where these booties are from.
Happy Friday lovebugs, Here are some spooky recipes for your Halloween. Vampire Punch c/o Real Simple
Ingredients 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup Campari 1/2 cup gin 1/2 cup orange juice 3 cups club soda, chilled 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds 1 orange thinly sliced Directions
Combine the sugar and ¼ cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar has completely dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Let it cool.
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the Campari, gin, orange juice, and sugar syrup; chill for up to 12 hours. Just before serving, add the club soda, pomegranate seeds, and orange. Serve over ice.
In the bowl of a food processor place flour, salt, pepper (optional if your little ghouls don't like any spice), and the cheese, pulse one or two times. Add butter and pulse a couple more times until mixture is looking crumbly. Add chives and sour cream and pulse until the mixture is starting to ball up.
Substitution: I used fontina cheese, but parmesan or white cheddar would also work well.
Place cracker dough in a covered bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
On a lightly floured surface roll dough to 1/4" thick and cut out with small ghost shaped cutter and place them 1/2" apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silpat. Place two black sesame seeds for eyes and one for the mouth. I love mini cutter sets such as these, your local craft store is a good source too.
1 pkg (16.5oz) Nestle Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (in the refrigerated tube)
1/2 cup Ghirardelli milk chocolate morsels
32 candy "eyes"
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 or 9inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
Mix ingredients for brownies in a large bowl using a whisk. Mix until just combined. Pour into bottom of baking dish, spreading so batter goes all the way to the sides.
Top with 16 Oreo cookies.
Breaking the chocolate chip cookie dough into chunks, drop by tablespoons onto the brownie/Oreo layer. Continue until all cookie dough is used, and brownies are nearly covered.
Top with extra milk chocolate morsels (optional).
Bake for 35-40 minutes. Press "eyes" onto melted chocolate chips. Allow brookies to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, cover with foil and refrigerate for 2 hours (or overnight). Cut into 16 bars. ENJOY.
A great trend this year is bringing back the colorful prints and shapes from the 60s. One of those iconic shapes is the drop waist dress. It's funky, casual, and in my opinion, it's confident. Lets look at some fall/winter options you can add a denim jacket to or some tights.
I'd hold off for a great promo code from JCrew because they always seem to have them for sale items. If you can't wait, I totally understand and support you.
It's almost November, which means it's almost full on winter, which means it's time to think plaid. Yep, I'm not holding back, I'm thinking ahead and getting my picks in now for plaid cropped pants. Not your wide leg or bootcut black and white plaid, and not your standard windowpane. I'm talking colorful, fitted, plaid.
