So excited for Al Fresco dining again.
This weekend: I've had my Fall decor out for weeks now, but it's finally starting to feel like it (turn off the air conditioner and open those windows!).
- For Arizona Restaurant Week this year, we went to Lon's at the Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley. The outdoor patio was the perfect setting for a perfect meal (we even got 'fancy' for the occasion i.e. Louboutin-time).
- I love this look for the transition from Summer to Fall.
- Thanksgiving recipe to stowe away: Slow Cooker Cinnamon Sugar Glazed Carrots.
- Here's another one: Spiced Apple Ooey Gooey Butter Cake.
- And finally, this week's inspiration.

Can't get enough of these Arizona sunsets.
This weekend: Ahipoki Bowl.All.Weekend.Long.
- Planning my Fall wardrobe with all new arrivals: {1}, {2}, {3}, and {4}.
- More here: {5}, {6}, {7}, and {8}.
- This is such a cool idea for Halloween!
- And finally, on the menu this week: Chicken Stir Fry with Noodles and Teriyaki Chicken Casserole (carbs don't scare me!)
Photos from the Phoenix Cooks event last weekend @ The Westin Kierland Resort.
This weekend: Hooray! Football!
- Dangit! Apple's got me all excited about the Apple Watch (I've already picked out the one I want).
- It's finally cooling down here, so it's time to think about Fall Fashion: {1}, {2}, and {3}.
- Yumm! I am totally making these this season.
- And finally, I wore this top to the Phoenix Cooks event (I loved it so much, I bought another color).
Louis Vuitton Keep It Twice Monogram Bracelet. I've been stalking this bracelet for years and have watched it steadily increase in price from $350 to $405. It's out of stock online and in stores, but every once in a while I'd see my size pop up online. The price increase has made me hesitant to pull the trigger, but I finally bit the bullet and just did it.
MERCI is one of our favorite breakfast spots. Best.Croissants.Ever.
This weekend: Hooray! A long weekend!
- Long weekend=sales. I'm for sure hitting up the Alo Yoga and Madewell sales. Specifically, I'm interested in these items: {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, and {6}.
- We're headed to a "Foodie Paradise" tomorrow. Guess this will be my cheat weekend :/
- In case I disappear again, you can find me on Instagram (@cocoaandpearls), Twitter (@cocoaandpearls), or Pinterest.
- And finally, I can't wait for Football this week. I'm anticipating many ups and downs in FF (hopefully, more ups than downs), but in either case, like in years past, it's a win-win for me.
