Last week, we went to Bruxie for breakfast and as you can see, we all went for a little something sweet. I got the Chocolate Filled Liege. A liege is similar to a Belgian waffle and is described on the Bruxie website as a more dense sweet breakfast pastry with chunks of pearl sugar that caramelizes when in the waffle iron. It was filled with Belgian dark chocolate. Overall, it was delicious, the pearl sugar created a crisp outer layer to compliment the warm dark chocolate inside. The waffle itself was good as well, though I felt it could have used a minute or two more in the waffle iron.
 
And for those of you who prefer savory waffles, Bruxie has numerous options for you! Actually, the majority of the items on their menu are savory, we just chose to go the sweet route that day.
 
Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Here are some "wintery" things that I'd like to add to my closet. In the footwear department, I have been looking for a pair of gray boots for a while now, but have yet to find a pair that is both practical and suits my style. As for the beige boots, I am not sure if taupe would be a better choice in terms of versatility. What do you guys think?
 
The teal faux leather jacket is absolutely gorgeous and would be such as great statement piece in the colder months, but I have yet to see one in person to determine whether or not I'd actually wear it. Denim skirts are making a comeback, or at least they were the last time I checked and would serve as a substitution for jeans. The lace red top happens to be one of my favorite "winter" colors and as you all know I love lace, so it's a pretty perfect combination.
 
As for accessories, I need a new phone case, and love the ombre crystal effect on the one above. Blue stones have a snow-like quality about them and these stud earrings are a subtle way to incorporate them into any outfit.
Lastly, I bought a rose gold midi ring with a similar leaf design a few months ago and thought that this silver one  would be a nice addition to my ring collection.
 
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Winter is definitely on its way, California has been cooler than it has in years and rain is expected to be our guest for much of the coming season. With that in mind, I've been trying to figure out how to style my winter pieces. It has been so long since I have been able to wear a sweater in California, and now it is cold enough to layer with them! I've been experimenting with some sweater dresses and such; I hope to have some Outfit of the Day posts up soon.
 
Of the outfits above, I really love the ones with the patterned skirts. I have a few patterned skirts that I am looking forward to wearing in the coming weeks and months. Also, do you guys prefer long printed cardigans or just a printed coat? Obviously for those of you in places that experience extreme winter weather, a winter coat is a must, but from a style perspective?
 
As always, leave a comment below of any suggestions of posts you would like to see here on or This, That, and the Other. Have a great week guys!

Fall is definitely a beautiful time of year with the rich colored leaves, warm sun, cooling winds, and of course all of the fall food that comes along with it! One of my favorite activities in the cooler months is walking around my neighborhood and local parks. It serves as a wonderful reminder of just how amazing nature is.
