Winter Fashion


Oh the weather outside is frightful...


I have been so inspired by all the adorable looks I have been seeing on Pinterest. I have decided to put together a grouping of winter looks that I would LOVE to have in my closet this winter.

 I am totally crushing on above the knees boots. I would really like to get a pair soon. This whole look is amazing, but the boots are what drew me in.

This is from the Dolores Promesas Fall Winter 2011-2012 Look book.





A sweet and classic sweater dress is a must in every females closet in the fall and winter. I love this classic look with the chunky bangles and the knee high socks. Those fantastic shoes definitely add some fun to the whole look. I would love to wear this.

This piece was from the Blanco 2012 Winter Look Book





This next look is an affordable gorgeous style from H&M.
This bright and fun pattern is a look that can be worn by day or night with minimal transformation. I would pull back my hair an add some sparkle with earrings and a bracelet for a fun and sexy night look.





This next piece is from the Christian Dior Ready to Wear Autumn/Winter 2011/2012 show during Paris Fashion Week. This look takes my breath away. Oh how I wish oh wish to have this in my closet one day. This dress just screams romance to me, with the flowing tiers of fabric and the charming top piece. The shoes add just enough drama and spunk to the look. Love it!

My Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes


I hope everyone had a very special and happy Thanksgiving.

My family celebrates Thanksgiving three times, so I am spoiled with great food for a week or more. This thanksgiving we had so many delicious dishes it was hard for me to pick just one to share. I always have good luck with picking recipes, and everyone always requests for copies. With that being said I have decided to share my a few of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes. Enjoy!



I am going to start with sharing the Sweet Potato Casserole from allrecipes.com. I have made this three times this week and each time everyone raved about the rich sweet taste.


I have made it with and without the eggs added and it turned out great each time. Once you try this I have a good feeling this will be the staple on your next menu.


My second favorite dish I tried this year was a Feta Dip. This is simply heaven. It is light yet filling. You have so many options for breads or dippers. This fantastic recipe was found on great blog called Clover Lane. Take this to your next party and watch the magic happen. Pita bread, french bread, even crackers would be a fantastic side with it.

I threw this dish together with a couple moderation's and it was still perfection. I had cans of diced tomatoes so that is what I opted to use. Ah-Maze-ING! Simple! Love it! This seriously was about a 10 minute prep including cutting the bread. I also did not have Greek Seasoning so I used Oregano, Salt and Pepper as suggested. Bravo!


Two words. Snickerdoodle Blondies.

My brother in law loves Snickerdoodle cookies, and he could not get enough of this sinfully delicious dessert. This recipe was found on a hilarious blog called Delightful Bitefuls. She has so many amazing dishes listed. To make this dish even better, most every home kitchen has all the ingredients with out a special trip out. Try it. Love it. Make it again.


All pictures and recipes were from the original sources mentioned in this blog.

Thank you!

Free Christmas Subway Art Printable


Here comes Santa Clause...



I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I am so excited for Christmas. I decided to spend the day taring my house apart. My wonderful, amazing husband put up the Christmas tree. We got it all decorated and it looks beautiful. There is nothing more peaceful then the cold snowy winter night and enjoying a well decorated tree.

I am waiting patiently for the first snow.



Well with all the decor changing it was time to make a new subway art for my frame. This is what we came up with.




Enjoy!
