I know that if I am ever in need of anything, it is 99.9% guaranteed that Target will provide me with satisfaction in finding and purchasing a quality product at a steal price. Seriously, it is one of the best places to shop at whether it be for clothing, groceries, stationery, gifts, home decor, beauty products, etc. etc. It is a magical one-stop shop, not to mention its main color is red - one of my favorite colors!

Portuguese Baked Eggs - Plan on making for breakfast or brunch one morning. Doesn't the photo look absolutely divine? See #3 for why I want to make this... 2. Lemon-Soufflé Pudding - Plan on making for dessert one evening. I love a good lemon treat. 3. Herbed-Baked Eggs - Super easy and quick recipe made for brunch one morning. Herbs are wonderfully combined in addition to the parmesan. Serves two. New-found love for baked eggs after I had this... (Thanks Ina!) 4. Crispy Salt-and-Vine...

Here is an outfit for anyone anticipating rainy/cooler weather in the coming fall/winter months. I personally do not like heavy rain/dreary weather, but, hey, we all know it's bound to happen on the east coast one way or another... so best to embrace it with chic and put together outfits like this one. These items are all simple and basic staples in a closet (the riding rain boots and turtleneck top are my favorites!), but when put together, create the perfect weatherproof outfit.
