The Covered Leg: It's In!

{ Via: Neiman Marcus }

 One of my favorite Fall accessories is a good pair of tights. Recently I discovered that no one I knew wore tights or hosiery under pants. Really? I think that maybe they have not discovered Wolford tights. They are so comfortable and durable, that I have actually slept in them before. The covered leg has been in and out over the years. This year it is in a big and bold way, and I couldn't be happier.  Think, fishnets, lace, and bright hues. Scroll down to get a leg up on this chic and covered Fall trend.

HERE: 13 Legwear Looks To Love

Satin Opaques
These are my favorite of all! Super comfy. They look dressy on the leg. Opaque eye-catcher: "Shimmering and opaque with a touch of glamour and luxury, enhanced with the finest satin feel. Thanks to a special plating technology, the material is more durable. The soft knitted waistband ensures a perfect fit." P.S. the color shown is "Hawthorn." I wear the black

Foodie Friday: How Do You Like Those Candy Apples?

{ Via: Party City }

As a child, there was one house on our block that actually gave out "Candy Apples" as their Halloween treats. I also remember that my Mom would not let us eat them. It was very disappointing, but I get it! Ever since childhood, when I think of Halloween, I think of apples covered with gooey caramel, nuts and  chocolate. Any way you slice them, these apples are delicious! Won't you join me in making some this weekend? 

HERE: 16 Creative Candy Apple Recipes

Bloody Caramel Apples

This recipe is different in a big way. With the combination of sugar and sweetened condensed milk, a silky caramel coating is created. It stays on the apples and is deliciously ‘bloody’.

Sea Salt Bourbon Caramel Apples With Spiderweb Chocolate
You will want to make more of the caramel sauce to reserve for drizzling over bowls of ice cream! Having homemade caramel sauce on hand is always a good idea.
