What We're Loving Lately

Here are a few things that we are loving this week. You can follow us on Pinterest and see more of our finds here and here.

ASHLEY'S PICKS:

Buckeye bark. This looks easier to make than the balls...but just as yummy.

As a vegetarian I don't get to partake in hot wings during football season. This buffalo cauliflower is an interesting twist.

This chevron painting is so cool! I love the mix of the bright colors and the metallics.

I love a straw fedora in the summer and this wool one would be great for the fall and the winter season.

Stripes and sparkle is a great combo for fall

SHELBY'S PICKS:

This nail polish is my absolute favorite for the fall. I am wearing it right now. It is a little darker than the picture, a perfect red wine color.

Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls! This is my perfect breakfast item.

Wouldn't be Loving Lately without the polka dots!

A trip to the park



   


 The weather was so beautiful this past weekend that we spent the majority of our time outside. On Sunday we decided to take Pixie on her first trip to Central Park. She had so much fun! She loves seeing all of the other dogs and she made friends with lots of them along our way. The funniest moment was when we were passing by this huge fluffy dog and as soon as he saw Pixie he haulted in his tracks and refused to move because he was afraid of her...afraid of my 5 lbs dog. His head was as big as Pixie's whole body but he was petrified. It was hilarious. One of Pixie's favorite things to do is sit outside- just sit. So she truly enjoyed our little picnic. Can't wait to do it again soon!

Until next time
XOXO

I love the interesting shapes that these belts create. So much better than a plain boring belt.

 I'm on the lookout for a less expensive version of this coat. If anyone has any tips please let me know!

This is a great gold. I love how it's shiny without being glittery.

 These look so yummy! Bite size pumpkin funnel cakes! I've been craving funnel cake ever since our trip out to Coney Island.

 I am not a pumpkin carver. Bad experience. I can however get on board with pumpkin painting. These are too cute!!

SHELBY'S PICKS:
Pumpkin waffles with apple cider syrup. Sounds Amazing!!

Four strand braid. Now that my hair is longer I would love to try this.

This is a really cool idea for artwork. Knowing Ash and I this wouldn't take long to make! ;)

Love this artwork made from domino's!

Smorgasburg

It was so beautiful in NYC this weekend that Shelby and I tried to spend as much time as possible outside. On Saturday we decided to venture down to Brooklyn to check out this food fair I'd heard about called Smorgasburg. There were so many interesting food booths we are going to have to make several trips back just to try everything. Here's a taste of our experience.

There were a lot of people. Maybe it had something to do with the dumpling eating contest going on?



First stop of the day- the S'more booth. Yes, that is a guy with a blow torch making the s'mores. Ours was very yummy. We started and ended the day with dessert- as every day should be :)

 Next stop was the falafel booth. We tried the cilantro lime one which was very tasty. Next time I want to try the BBQ one.

Then we proceeded to stand in one of the longest lines in the whole place for what else- grilled cheese. A long line usually means good food and this grilled cheese from the Milk Truck did not disappoint. 


 We were in Williamsburg, Brooklyn right on the East River and had a great view of the Manhattan skyline. We sat out on the pier for awhile people watching and enjoying the beautiful fall day.

 Last stop of the day was The Good Batch for this monster ice cream sandwich. It was such a great combination of flavors but so rich we couldn't even finish it.

Next time we also want to venture over to the Brooklyn Flea. Neither of us have ever been. 

Until next time
XOXO
