A Few of my Favorite Things

I was inspired by Natalie's Obsessions posts,
so here are a few of my favorite things...
 

{2011 Loosen Brothers Riesling}


I usually stick to red wines, but this Riesling was seriously delicious! My fabulous in-laws had some of this at their house for Thanksgiving and my brother-in-law's girlfriend, Kadie, and I were absolutely obsessed. (We may or may not have finished off 7 bottles over the course of the week...woops.) My MIL found it at Costco, but you can order it online here...super affordable at $9.99 a bottle. I will be stocking up, that's for sure.


{Old Navy Sweaters}




















I scored these two beauties on Black Friday for super cheap! The polka dots are so fun, can't wait to pair it with a brightly colored scarf and the long fair isle sweater is totally amazeballs. I wore it on our 6am flight back to NYC on Sunday with leggings and boots, and it was like wearing a big comfy blanket. Go get yourself one before they're all gone! Joe thinks I look like a grandma wearing it...boys just don't understand.


{OPI The Spy Who Loved Me}


My sweet MIL took Kadie and I out for pedicures this past Saturday while we were in Kansas City, and it was WONDERFULLLLL. My sad feet were so thankful and I was so excited about the color polish I got. I used OPI The Spy Who Loved Me...I think it is a new color that is part of the new James Bond collection. Anyway, it is the perfect holiday red with some gold glitter in it and my toes look so fabulous!


{Monogrammed Sweatshirt}


If you're gonna bum it, might as well bum it in a cute monogrammed sweatshirt, right? This would make such a cute Christmas gift for a girl who's as obsessed with monograms as I am!


{Cheese plate with honey}


I've always been a huge fan of cheese plates...the stinkier, the better...but my in-laws took it to a whole new level when they introduced me to a cheese + assorted honey plate. (I think it's something they picked up on their Mediterranean cruise last year) Easy peasy and so delicious - slice up a few types of cheeses (sharp white cheddar, gorgonzola, brie, goat, etc.), put out as many different types of honey as you'd like (lavender honey and rosemary honey are my faves), and add some crackers, nuts, and dried fruits and you have yourself a beautiful cheese plate. I will definitely be sharing this with my family for Christmas this year!

Also found this little recipe when I was Googling cheese plates...can't wait to make this - I love figs!
