All The Fall

, , ,

It's been a really crazy week, as per usual. Tons of fall shoots and constructing my closet as been very time consuming. Sharing a quick outfit pic of me on the job since that is all we have been doing and having a blast too! Seriously guys, this blanket scarf is everything. Best SEVEN DOLLARS I've ever spent.

But one thing is for sure my sweet Husband has been begging for Mini Pumpkin Pies for like ..long. And nothing screams fall quite like baking.  With a roast in the oven and apple candles wafting through my house it felt like exactly the right moment to get baking. 

I make these little guys every year! Here is my recipe: 

1 box pie crust

1 15oz can pumpkin

2 eggs

1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk  

1 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Whipped cream for topping

Preheat oven 425, Mix everything but pie crust and whipped cream (obviously) , and spray muffin tin with spray butter. Since I used a mini muffin tin, I used the top of a champagne glass to make perfect circles and put one on the bottom push it as far as it goes and then add another circle. Push into the pan until it comes up to just the edge. Fill 3/4 of the way up and pop in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the pumpkin mixture isn't runny looking. Top with whipped cream and enjoy!

Happy Thursday!

An Apple Moment

,

Well guys we've made it to Friday and I'll toast to that. I've had a crazy busy week with shoots, closet things, and my day job! So to say the least I'm ready to take a moment and just relax.

Today's Martini Moment is more of a mimosa. Just add a splash of apple cider to your champagne and you've got a fresh fall take on this amazing drink. For an added bonus dip the rim in Carmel and then cinnamon and sugar. To die for.

I came across this quick and quite delicious recipe not long ago and have been dying to make it. Perfect for a brunch or an after dinner dessert.

No Bake Apple Bites

  • 3 apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • juice half of a lemon
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 vanilla extract
  • 1/8 nutmeg and allspice
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 package of mini phyllo shells
  • whipped cream for topping

Heat a saucepan with apples, lemon, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, water, and cornstarch and cook until the apples are soft and mixture is thick. Allow it to cool a little before adding to the shells, then just top with whipped cream and cinnamon.

Wishing you a fun filled weekend! Cheers!

Done Up

, ,

No better way to spend an evening than in a pumpkin patch with my best friend! We had such a fun evening getting lost in corn mazes and enjoying the cool fall day. Checking this one off the Fall Bucket List!

My hair is long and sometimes I don't feel like dealing with it. Recently, I fashioned a very large bun and someone messaged me on Snapchat (fastfashionista) and asked me how I did it. So here is a quick how to. It's so fast especially if you are low on time. I used a sock bun but not in the normal way when you roll your ponytail around it. You simply make a pony (this part is optional but makes for a more sturdy do) and place the sock at the all the way at the bottom and wrap your pony around the sock and secure with bobbi pins. That's it. Perfect for a quick chic updo. 

Fast Tip: If your hair is straight it won't work as well so make sure to tease it.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Cheers!
