Hot Toddy Time

This past week my favorite people in the whole world, a.k.a. the Fam, came to visit and we traipsed all over Boston eating and drinking and taking in the sites. This is such a GORGEOUS time to be in New England. I just can't seem to get enough of the pretty leaves, bundling up in all of my coats and scarves that I never ever got to wear in San Diego, eating (or slurping) TONS of soup... but my absolute favorite part has got to be the Hot Toddies. Hello yummy goodness! How did I not know about this delightful treat before? It is so warm and cozy and is perfect, perfect for those crisp Fall evenings.

We put a little twist on the traditional Hot Toddy and incorporated Apple Cider. You really can't go wrong with these puppies:

2oz whiskey (my husband swears by Jameson)

Flowers to Fashion

not only are the flowers by Poppies and Posies drop dead but the outfit that was inspired by this floral masterpiece is equally fantastic. I'll take the whole shebang please.

A Wedding that Dreams Are Made Of

If I could pick only one wedding to stare at for the rest of my life, it would without a doubt be this very wedding. Every single little thing about it, even the bug spray...

is perfectly designed and beautifully executed. Bravo Team Coolest Wedding Ever and kudos to Max Wanger for all of the gorgeous photography.
