Holiday Gift Guide: For the Ladies

Back by popular demand, the Lemons & Loafers holiday gift guide is back! I know this is a little early, but with Black Friday around the corner, I thought you could all get a head start. I hope that today's gift guide helps you find the perfect present for all of the women in your life who inspire you.

Emerald Glam

Sometimes, I just want to feel glamorous. I like to fantasize about jetting off to the Cote D'Azur and spending the weekend on a boat, bronzing in the sun. A more realistic fantasy are these gorgeous gold, emerald and diamond earrings that I stumbled upon browsing ShopNBC's gold jewelry selection that don't have a crazy expensive price tag.

Apple Honey Challah

This apple and honey challah recipe was certainly a challenge for little old me, a novice baker. But, it miraculously came out pretty well. It wasn't perfect but it had great flavor and the texture was almost spot on. Smearing it with pumpkin butter made it incredible...and toasting it for breakfast? Genuis!

A great tip from Deb of Smitten Kitchen: If you measure the oil in the 1/3 cup measuring cup first, and then your honey, the honey will slide right out (it worked!).

Occupy Wall Street

{All about peace}

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, my dad, a friend, and I took the long trek down the island to Zuccoti Park on Saturday to check out where the one of the biggest protests in my lifetime got its start.

It was bone chillingly cold as we walked through the rows of tents and people.
