We were fully expecting to have some cooler weather when we got back from Florida, but it is still very summer-like weather. Not that we are complaining, we know the cooler days will be here soon! The nights have cooled down a bit, so it has been nice to add a few fall items, specifically this leather jacket & these booties, to this adorable shift dress.

Our gin cocktail recipe search is still happening! Check out this one called Rubies & Thorns. The blood orange/lemon-thyme combination of this one intrigued us. Plus the blood orange juice is full of anti-oxidants so it’s good for you too! Keep your favorite gin cocktail recipes coming…

Cheers,

At the Premier Party for Bachelor in Paradise we were introduced to wine from Manuscript Cellars, and it quickly became a favorite. Manuscript is part of Prairie Creek Beverages which is a local Dallas company, and we enjoyed meeting the Prairie Creek “family” when we got together with them a couple of weeks ago to try some more of their wine. When we were asked to partner with them, we decided it would be fun to do a wine tasting of their Limited Edition wines to welcome Stia back from Europe and hear all of the details of her trip. We started with loads of pretty blooms from our favorite neighborhood store, and brought some of our favorite chairs outside – we have to take advantage of Dallas’ beautiful fall weather! Next up, a trip to Sigel’s for the wine. If you can’t find Manuscript Cellars at your local Sigel’s just ask and they’ll bring it in for you! We picked up some some yummy cheese and assorted finger foods to nibble on and to pair with the Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay & Pinot Noir. The wines all paired beautifully with the assorted cheeses. We especially loved the Chardonnay with the Gruyere, the Sauvignon Blanc with the goat cheese and the Pinot Noir was great with the aged Gouda. The Cabernet Sauvignon we saved for last and enjoyed it with assorted chocolates and dessert. It will be perfect to serve with rib eyes the next time the guys grill. We’re looking forward to our next excuse to get together and enjoy some Manuscript Cellars wine!
