Fall has officially started and already there is a different feeling in the air.  Yes, even here in sunny Florida.  There is something about fall that so many people look forward to.  Perhaps it is knowing that the holidays are just around the corner and that family time and lots of yummy food is near.  Oh, and of course there is the bundle-up factor of sweaters and boots prior to the cold harsh winters.  On my to-buy list this season is a midi skirt (#8) and a wool fedora (#1) that I've seen so many women rocking lately.  Next week I travel to New York and there couldn't be a better place to be to shop for some perfect fall goodies!

(Best Ever) Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Back in March, I baked a batch of chocolate cookies that I thought were practically perfect.  I'm going to have to withdraw that claim and state that I've found a new winner.  Not too long ago on Pinterest I found this recipe whose caption read "the best ever chocolate chip cookies." I thought, "yeah right" but accepted the challenge.  Since first finding this recipe a couple months back, I've baked these chocolate chip cookies more times than I can count on my fingers. The secrets: use sea salt and good quality chocolate chips (I used Ghiradelli).
