A beautiful night for a Monmouth County Homebrewers Association meeting
at Jughandle Brewing!

I loved the Berliner Weisse and the IPA

Berliner Weisse with Raspberry syrup:

I am so proud of my sister Audrey and her role as the treasurer for her homebrew club!

A nice night of shutting down Jughandle,
I love having this place in my parent's neighborhood!

The best part of this meeting was trying the Bee Sting farmhouse saison
with lemons, local honey, and lavender, I loved it!
So happy we got to try a sample because it sold out so fast when it was released!
As seen on Jughandle Brewing Co's Instagram

Delicious!
We are always here for the beer =)

Preparing for Fall: my "Trend Forecast"

 In the September addition of StyleWatch magazine,
it became clear that this fall's trends were designed with me in mind!

I mean leopard, tartan, and sequins?!
Yes please!

I listed to a really interesting episode of 99% Invisible this week about "The Trend Forecast"
& a company called WGSN who is behind the fashion machine,
 using data to investigate what the "in" colors and styles will be.
It was very interesting and worth a listen!

Here is my "Trend Forecast" or Wishlist / Shopping Guide to Fall 2016!
