So, I've decided to enter the world of blogging. I thought this could be a fun way to archive my outfits, designs, recipes, and any other fun finds and thoughts I come across. I created my title image from a variety of rococo themed images found on We Heart It. I LOVE this site, not only you can search through countless images and save them to your heart and organized sets on the site, but you can add the heart button to your browser and add images you find on any other site as well. I gather a lot of images and inspiration for projects using We Heart It.
Decor
I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving, and a great start to December. I decorated our dysfunctional tree today :P
My mom was nice enough to order us this tree last year from JC Penney. It was a nightmare to try to put together...the lights were pre-wrapped around the tree and it made it almost impossible to get the tree loose and standing. We also discovered a piece must be missing from the stand because it likes to inch itself up and tilt over. Luckily, I have a very large closet and was able to basically store the tree as is on my shelf this past year. Disaster continued this year as half of the lights didn't work :P Eventually I got her up and running. Decorations are all from Target. It's our own little Charlie Brown tree :)
Fashion
Some new exciting purchases have joined my closet this past week.
First off, is a pair of Penny Loves Kenny "Majori" boots. I scored these $120 beauties for only $40 on a sale at Gilt Groupe
, which is one of several sites I follow that offer brands and labels up to 60% off :) They're a whopping 5" tall, but far too cute to pass up at such a good price! Plus, I have high arches, so high heels are ok with me!
Usually I'm a silver girl, but lately I've been drawn to more and more gold jewelry. The first is my Aries ram horns <3 Another deal found at Haute Look. $42 Danielle Stevens Necklace found for $17. The second is an elephant I got at the J Crew outlet. You'll come to find that elephants and horseshoes are my go-to's as far as jewelry, symbols, etc. that I can't pass up!
Cooking
Wrapped the day up with some pretzel battered cod, baby red potatoes, and italian mixed veggies. I used a recipe from All Recipes that I've made previously, but I tried adding a little beer to the mix and baked it at 400 degrees with the veggies instead of frying.
I didn't make tartar sauce, so instead I placed it all on a thin layer of blue cheese dressing. I think adding the beer to the egg thinned it out too much and so the pretzel batter didn't adhere as much as I would have liked. Think I'll stick to the original recipe next time.
Have 6 of 36 flats left to do for my Creative Design class, hope everyone has a good night!
