enticing eats: spaghetti squash with edamame pesto






Good morning all,
Lately I've been super obsessed with squash. It's the perfect fall food (other than anything pumpkin). A couple of weeks ago I whipped together a spaghetti squash recipe from my new Cooking Light cookbook (check out their website for even more amazing healthy recipes)! It was so easy, fast, and most importantly healthy and delicious!

fall dresses for layering

I really dont think I know a single person that isn't into the greatness that is fall layering. There are so many possibilities to build up an outfit when you can combine multiple clothing items at once! I am especially a fan of fall outfits that involve layering dresses. Below, I've selected a bunch of wonderful dress options that would be perfect for layering this autumn! Enjoy!

student spaces: turquoise diy room


Today we're featuring the lovely room of 2nd year Western University student, Kelley Morgan. We love how you don't even notice the amount of Ikea furniture pieces because they are hidden in a bunch of creative DIY projects (notice that amazing DIY headboard) and unique decor items.
