I Heart You, Stylit!

Been spending much more time using my Stylit Daily Fashion Planner lately! Vivs gave it to me back in December but I haven't gotten around to using it till now. I've started keeping track of my daily outfits, style icons and fashion shopping lists inside it, and its become a life-saver!! I love using my Stylit now, and can't think of a better planner for me! B. Jones, the creator of Stylit made a little video describing it, watch for more info!
*B. Jones has sold out of the Stylit for now, but I heard rumor of a mass production happening soon! I'll make sure to notify you once they're available again.

DIY Hot Toddy // the "get well" drink

My go-to get well drink is a good ole' hot toddy. A simple splash of whiskey seems to be a cure-all for all my cold symptoms. The recipe is simple, and cold symptoms will be out the door after a cup or two. Ingredients: Whiskey, honey, lemon, a variety of teas.
Pour one ounce whiskey and one tablespoon honey into your glass. Add half a lemon in slices - squeeze some of the slices so the juice is added to your mixture. Put a kettle on, and boil some water. Find 2-3 tea bags for flavor. I used immune support, peppermint and black tea, yummy! Steep your tea bags for 3-5 minutes and remove. Now, drink up and get well!

Oh, Sweet Nothin' : An Outfit Post

On Sunday, I spent the day with friends. First, was brunch at an amazing vegan restaurant called Blossoming Lotus, where I met up with my friend ej.

After my mid-day nap, I met up with my news friends Abi and Vanessa, and we went to Swirl for the most delicious Honey Lavender frozen yogurt. Sunday's are becoming my favorite days. The lazier, the better! xoWhat I wore: Army surplus beanie, vintage gold-rimmed sunglasses, gray tank from J. Crew, vintage Pendleton blazer with pocket monogram, Daughters of the Liberation high-waisted flares, woven leather belt from the Seablanket vintage shoppe, Pink Studio leather wedges, vintage leather satchel.

Apple Crisp DIY

I've been baking a lot lately, and love using produce that's in season. I stumbled upon a truly delicious recipe a few weeks ago and wanted to share with all of you:

* Three lbs of tart apples
* Two tablespoons of lemon juice
* Half a cup of light brown sugar (pack it tightly)
* Half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon
* Half a teaspoon of ground nutmeg
* One-third cup of all-purpose flour
* One-third cup of granulated sugar
* One-third cup of rolled oats
* Four tablespoons of cold butter (Half a stick)
* Half a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans

How to Prepare:
The first step is to chop the apples into slices. Remember to remove the peeling and core. Grab two bowls. In one bowl, add the apples and lemon juice. In the other bowl, combine the brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Now combine the bowls and mix together. Grab another bowl and mix the flour, sugar, and oats. Slice the butter into small pieces. Now use two forks to mix the the flour and butter until it looks crumbly. Add the chopped nuts.
Grease a 9 in. square baking dish and spread the apple mixture on the bottom of the dish. Top it off with the flour mix. Cook for 30 - 45 minutes at 375°, or until the apples are soft and topping is browned slightly.
It tastes best if you serve it warm, or at least at room temperature. I've also tried it cold and it's not too bad cold either! I recommend serving it with a scoop of heavy cream or vanilla ice cream.
