Julie & Julia is such a visually stunning film! While I just can't stand Julie's (Amy Adams) story-line, this movie more than makes up for it with Meryl Streep's quirky portrayal of Julia Child, drool-worthy copper pots adorning every set and a plethora of yummy dishes. Add a little Parisian inspiration and a few gorgeous pieces of cookwear, and this movie makes my list of favorites to "live in"... bon apetit!

For me, and apparently for Jenna Lyons as well, leopard is a neutral (it pairs so well with most colors and a huge variety of prints). Once the temperatures start to drop and the leaves begin to change I live in those chic animal spots! This year I'm dying for a beautiful pair of leopard print flats to wear with my Fall skinnies/leggings. Do you have a favorite animal print?

This message couldn't have come at a more perfect time! We all need a little faith in our lives but lately I've been feeling like I need just a bit extra; faith in God's timing and plan for my life, faith that our move will go smoothly, faith that pursuing this little blog is right, etc... It's just that darned fear that always holds me back. Fear of failing, fear of the unknown, fear of waiting.

Is there something you've been dying to do? Is there something you need a little extra faith to accomplish right now? Go ahead, do it, what are you afraid of?!

In other news, isn't it great to have talented friends? My friend Nemo created his own line of motivational and uplifting t-shirts, Foolies, and I couldn't be more proud! People are definitely put in your life for a reason and I'm pretty sure Nemo is here to remind me to get rid of those pesky fears already.
