House Crush // 11 Cornwall Road Country Guest House
My first “House Crush” posts centered entirely around homes nearby where I lived in Lake Arrowhead… I figured since I was looking at homes anyway, it would be a fun way to sort of share a little bit of the process with you… (I’m still not sure if I’m staying in my house or moving, …

Last month I was asked to create a cute starry night headband for a DIY hair Accessories feature focused on prom in an upcoming magazine (I’ll share it when it comes out)… and so with a bit of a youthful inspiration, I created this… but in the mean time, the magazine sent me a totally …

Sunday House Crush // Lake Arrowhead “Aspen” Estate
This Aspen Inspired Private Luxury Mountain Retreat ( via Zillow ) was recently sold in September, but it still popped up in my recommended local homes email, because obviously at $2,875,000, it’s totally in my price range 😉 and I’m crushing on it… HARD. At 5 beds 5 baths and 5,495 sqft, it’s not a …

It’s not until I do a round up archived post like this when I realize just how much content resides under this domain… and how many different outfits as well. It’s crazy to think that I’ve been writing this blog for 10 years now and doing outfit posts for about 9 -since I didn’t start …
Follow Thyme and Temp // A Stunningly Beautiful Food Blog
