Cake Pops

After seeing cake pops everywhere, I decided to try my hand at the tasty treats.  Richard and I created these deliciously festive treats by using pumpkin cake and cream cheese frosting. We then dipped the cake pops in white chocolate and decorated them with candy creatures, sprinkles, and frosting.

Having styrofoam to stick the drying cake pops in was key!

I took them to work and needless to say people were impressed. These creatures are easy to create, but do take some time. My recommendation, do this project in stages! Happy baking!

Happy Monday Everyone! This weekend was very relaxing. I celebrated a dear friend's birthday at Isa (delicious!), went to the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival, and did a little shopping at Loehmann's. What did you do?

Halloween Decorations

I posted this "before" picture a while back. I'm finally ready to share some of my creations. I have to photograph the spider and the spooky sign (painted by bf).  

And finally...

Monday's Trio

Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you had a nice weekend. I enjoyed a little bit of relaxations, warm weather while watching the Blue Angles, and some crafting!

My warm weather outfit: Skirt and hat from Marmalade, lace top from Ambiance,
Sunglasses from F21, necklace hand made 

No matter how many times I see the Blue Angles fly, I am always amazed!

My new fall lip color: Laura Mercier Violet

It's parent-teacher conference week, so wish me luck! Have a great week!

Time for Boots

As the weather cools down and the rain starts I find myself looking through my closet for proper footwear. After dusting off my boots, I have decided that a boot update might be necessary. I have two great pairs of over the knee boots, but need something a little more versitle. I want something with style, maybe a little heel, that I can wear to work and on the weekend. Pretty tall order! Here is what I have found so far. 

Looking Forward to...October

October is such a fantastic month. It is my official start to the holiday season. First comes Halloween, then Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas, and New Years.

Here is what I am looking forward to in the month of October!

1. Baking spooky treats for Halloween
2. Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival and my annual pumpkin hat picture!
3. Seeing all the costumes that my students will dress up in for Halloween (yep, 7th graders are so into Halloween!)
4. Fake spider webs
5. Glittering pumpkins with Liz
6. Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbucks
7. Sewing Halloween costumes for Richard and myself 
8. Fall layers
9. Boots with tights and over the knee socks 

Happy October! 

Monday's Trio

Happy Monday! This weekend I did a great job of relaxing. I have been so swamped the last couple of weeks that a weekend at home was just what I needed. Plus, a little shopping at the Bloomingdale's Friends and Family sale sure brightened up my weekend!

A little something new from Burberry! Bloomies Friends and Family sale rocks! This piece deserves its own post, so stay tuned!

The before shot of my Halloween Decorations. The final result sure is glittery!

How cool does this nail polish look? I can't wait to try it!

Have a fantastic week!
