Paris Je t'aime!

I must confess...I have a crush on Paris.  My love for all things France began in Middle School when I was introduced to the language of romance.  
My husband and I are actually planning a trip there soon (hopefully this summer for our anniversary).  We shall see.  In the meantime, we are going to dine at an authentic French restaurant in St. Louis today called La Bonne Bouchée.  I hope you have a fabulous weekend too. À bientôt!

It's a rainy Monday here in St. Louis...and I like it that way.  Rain just seems to make everything a little bit more romantic...don't you think?

Life is short...eat dessert first.

Since my last post, I joined Pinterest and have been happily pinning lovely things ever since.  Right now I should be packing for a trip to Kentucky, but instead I'm drooling over all of the desserts I've found...including these amazing Caramel Frappucino Cupcakes.

Music Monday: Fall edition: David Bazan, the Album leaf, & Firekites

 It's the first Monday of the season...seems like a pretty good reason to enjoy some of these wonderFall tunes. ;)

Happy first "official" day of Fall, ya'll.  Cardigans, pumpkin lattes, tights, hay rides, and gorgeous golden trees with apples ripe for the pickin'.   I don't know about you, but I can't help falling in love with this season.

It's a good day for a birthday...

and today is mine...I'm twenty-nine! I will be celebrating tonight and this weekend by: eating yummy Nepalese food (my new fave) from Everest Cafe, getting free cheesecake from My Daddy's Cheesecake, going to the balloon glow in Forest Park, finally seeing Midnight in Paris, and enjoying the world's best banana split from the Fountain on Locust.  Happy birthday to everyone who was born today...and a very merry un-birthday to everyone else! :)

Music Monday: Of Time and Tide, Hiding May be the Death of us all

My favorite band from St. Louis, Of Time and Tide just released their highly anticipated new album, "Hiding May be the Death of us All" (available on itunes, amazon, etc...) and ya'll should seriously check it out.  If you like Circa Survive, Thrice, or Moving Mountains, you'll definitely dig this!
