The end of summer is always tough for me, especially so when I’m not entirely sure it arrived in the first place. Luckily this week we’re showcasing some of the new and continuing trends for fall décor so I plan to console myself with a little retail therapy that will cozy up my condo (not to mention my wardrobe, thanks Sweetspot).
Here’s what I’ll be shopping for…

Count On It
With all the cooking going on in my kitchen these days I’ve come to realize my countertop could use a serious upgrade.

I’m so glad nestling is in. I’m all about one-pot, make-ahead, slow-cooked dinners – easy entertaining at its finest.
