Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I hope you all got to spend it with the ones you love. The MR. and I spent the day baking pies, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade followed by The National Dog Show, eating way too much food
with our families and a little late night shopping at Forever 21. Pretty perfect day if you ask me!
This was the first time I had ever tried baking a pecan pie and I must say it was super easy
and it turned out pretty delicious! Try the recipe for yourself! XO
What You Will Need...
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup (1 stick butter), melted
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
One 9-inch deep dish pie shell, unbaked, or homemade pastry
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup (1 stick butter), melted
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
One 9-inch deep dish pie shell, unbaked, or homemade pastry
1 cup pecan halves
Directions...
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar and eggs until creamy. Add the chopped pecans, melted butter, milk, flour and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Arrange the pecan halves on top of the pie in a circular pattern.
Bake the pie for 55 minutes. Check for doneness by shaking the pan slightly. The pie should be firm with only a slight jiggle in the center. It will set more as it cools.

Tis The Season...
Tis the season... and holy moly this is going to be a busy week. There is no such thing as days off, weekends or sick days during the holiday retail season and this is the make it or break it week. Between prepping 3 photoshoots, processing tons of new arrivals, organizing 2 events, planning a buying trip, interviews, new designs in production, moving into our new warehouse, house hopping on Thanksgiving, visiting friends, running a huge Pink Friday/Cyber Monday Sale for shopspoiled.com and the MR's show in Hollywood this Friday that doesn't leave too much time for anything else...
Jeez, I'm tired already. XO

I have been swooning over this bold color all season and im ready to take the leap from my everyday all black everything and incorporate this hue. Here are a few things from my Pinterest boards that have caught my eye... the leather jacket will be the first thing in my closet for sure! xo

Lately...
Life has been pretty crazy lately but in all the best ways.
Briefly... my day job is just beyond busy... with the launch of our website, shopspoiled, being on location
twice a week for photo shoots, buying trips, fashion market and getting ready for the holidays I wonder how I even
have time for anything else. What can I say, I'm lucky to be doing what I love.
As for the MR. and his band, Forget Your Friends, they just released their debut album
on Oktoheart Records, and announced some upcoming show dates. Eek!
Like I said life has been pretty busy lately. Oh, and to top it off ... throw in an Iron Maiden show, a bachelorette party, being a bridesmaid, taking on a new design project, prepping new vintage for the shop and celebrating my three year wedding anniversary with my best friend. Crazy, right?! I sure am one lucky lady. Keep up on Instagram. xo

Record Release Day
Happy record release day!! The much anticipated debut album from Forget Your Friends is out today! It's been a long time coming on this album... I feel like it was just yesterday that the MR bought me an acoustic bass so he could have someone to jam with. That was over three years ago and it's mind blowing to hear the finished work of FYF. I'm so proud of this band and so in love with this project. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of the debut album!

Three Years
Wow! Yesterday the MR. and I celebrated three years of marital bliss. I am so lucky to be married to my best friend and love of my life. Donuts, coffee and a surprise tattoo appointment were involved... pretty perfect if you ask me.
I am one lucky lady! XO

Headed to LA for the next few days on a serious buying trip for the day job! We are just two weeks away from the launch of our website, ShopSpoiled.
