That Happy Day

Wow! How time flies! Three years ago today I married my best friend. Growing up I would always laugh when people said, "when you know, you know." I though it was so cheesy. When I met Drew I knew that ever so cheesy saying was spot on. I am excited to spend the rest of my life going on adventures with him. He is my very best friend and I am thankful that God brought him into my life. 

Since I wasn't writing this blog three years ago I thought I would share some of our wedding photos. 

Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Must Have

Hello Lovlies! I have mentioned a few times how much I love Pumpkin. This is my second pumpkin creation of the year. The first seen{here}. Last year around Thanksgiving I went to a little english tea house on the central coast. I wish I could remember the name. I searched desperately but still can't find it. If I find the name I will most certainly update this post because it was amazing. This little tea house served the most decadent Pumpkin Bisque. Since then I have been hooked. It has become an essential  Thanksgiving staple. Although they wouldn't share their recipe, my mother-in law found one that tastes pretty identical. You will be surprised how easy it is to make this Pumpkin Bisque. 

1  16oz Can Libby's Pumpkin 

1 16oz Can Chicken Broth 

1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce 

1/2 Tsp Cinnamon 

1/4 Tsp Nutmeg 

1/4 Tsp Salt

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar 

1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar 

1/2 - 1 Cup Heavy Cream 

In a food processor (or blender) puree' all ingredients except heavy cream. Heavy cream will be added at the end. Once smooth, pour in to large sauce pan. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10min. Remove from heat and add cream. Reheat to medium, stirring constantly until smooth. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of cream or sherry. Serve immediately. 

Enjoy! 

She Said Yes

 Hi all! Above is my amazing friend and partner in crime Lauren and Bryce, my super awesome bearded brother-in-law. You have seen lauren before {here}. She is the woman behind the camera who takes many of my outfit pictures. She is also my new future sister. Lauren and Bryce were recently  engaged. He put a ring on it!! It was perfect, and as you can tell.. she said yes. The family joined Bryce and Lauren on their beautiful hike where Bryce popped the question on one knee over looking the cliffs of the pacific ocean.  They are truly perfect for each other. Congratulations you two.

Golgotha

{All Accessories by Alexander McQueen}

It's kind of a ironic to call a skull "pretty" but I am in love with these pretty Alexander McQueen skull accessories seen above. Okay lets be honest, I have been obsessed with skulls in general lately. I bought {This} miniature ceramic skull a couple months ago. Skulls also inspired halloween look {Here}.  The skull trend can be a little tricky because it tends to look either gothic or super morbid. To avoid this look things that are lighter in color or kick up the sparkle a bit. Also, stray away from skull and crossbones, it looks too much like a pirate. Skulls have not only shown up in accessories but also decor and apparel. See some of my favorites below.
