Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken

As I was going through my saved back to school easy recipes, this Tuscan Garlic Chicken popped up.  I have been meaning to try it for ages but never seem to have what I need.  I just added the ingredients to my shopping list.  I am going to make it next week.  I am sharing it today in case you want to try it too!!!!

Fall Decorating with Amazon

Following up with yesterday’s post of neutral fall decorating..I found some cute, inexpensive things on Amazon that coordinate with this theme.  I ordered a couple of these but might go back for more.

I started off with these small pumpkins and gourds


And then incorporated some larger ones


They also had some mercury glass pumpkins (and these light up!!!)


And this shape too!


I love these pillow covers!!!


These glass pumpkins would also look great!!!


I cannot wait to add these antlers to the mix!!!


I am going to scatter these greens throughout.


And while we are decorating, how cute is this side table!?!


Or this one!!!


How about this chic console table!?

Who cannot use a new welcome mat???!!???

Neutral Decorating for Fall

With the fall season soon approaching, the internet has been filled with objects of orange and dark green, yellows and maroons; from pumpkins, to greenery to gourds.  I started thinking that since Christmas decorations can be neutral, why can’t fall decorating be the same.  I am working on my mantel this week and there is no orange in site…In the meanwhile, here are some examples of decorating for fall with neutrals!!!!

3 oz fresh squeezed lemon
5 oz Chambord or premium raspberry liqueur
Crushed ice
Frozen honeydew melons for garnish


1 Fill a chilled highball glass with ice and add vodka

Fall Fashion Preview

I am hoping that this new format works.  When the site Polyvore closed, it was hard for me to publish vision boards such as the one below.  I am not working with a new site so I hope going forward it works!!  Despite, this extreme heat, here are my fall fashion picks so far.  All of the sweaters are really great and can take you from day to night.  I also love that bow dresses/blouses are here to stay. You can never go wrong with oversized sunglasses and a pair of statement earrings!!!!
