Springtime is Coming...

So for all of you going back to school for the spring semester I thought that would write a post about your spring wardrobe...

Many stores are already releasing the first part of their spring collections and I know that I'm already really excited.

This is the drapey stripe pullover hoodie from J.Crew, it's $65.00 and it's one my more favorite items for spring. Stripes are going to be popular for spring, I'm seeing more and more stores with hoodies or shirts with this kind of stripe.

This is the layered floral cami from American Eagle, it's $34.50 and you can't go wrong with a cute floral camisole. I like this one in particular because it's simple and it will go with just about anything you have in your closet. It would be extremely cute paired with a navy blue cardigan, a light wash pair of jeans and red flats.

I especially love dresses during spring. Here are a few dresses at very affordable prices. There are so many different silhouettes and patterns that everyone should be able to find at least one dress to wear this spring.

Target- $19.99

American Eagle Clearance- $29.95

H&M- $29.99

The last item of clothing that I want to talk about for your spring wardrobe are cropped jeans. Now I know that some of you may think that cropped jeans are tacky and out of style, if worn right they can actually look really cute and I'll tell you why... 

Over the summer I was working a retail job and as some of you may know you are not allowed to shorts. So one day I was looking for some new jeans to buy and I found a pair that were pretty cheap, I went to try them on and as it turns out they were too short (because I am 5'11'' and pants never fit unless I buy them in a tall size) so I decided to cuff the bottom of the pants so they looked really cute with some gladiator sandals, a camisole and a cardigan. 

So now that I've bored you with my story about cropped jeans. here are some options you may want to try. 

American Eagle- $29.95

Abercrombie & Fitch- $54.60

I hope you consider buying some of these items to add to your spring wardrobe.

Until Next Time

Watches!!

We all know that knowing the time is an important part of our everyday lives.  Between school, work, errands, and all kinds of appointments we all at some point during the day need to know what time it is.

I know that I personally rely on my cell phone for everything, including the time...but starting off a new year a I am going to make it a point to wear a watch rather than using my phone. Many people don't realize that by not wearing a watch they are losing a great opportunity to add another accessory to their outfit.

 

One could argue that the watch is a very versatile accessory. You can find watches that a everyday kind of watches and watches have more sophistication to them. Watches also come in a wide variety of price ranges. 

Target- $24.99

Target- $21.99

Coach- $298.00

Michael Kors- $170.00

Watches come in all shapes and sizes so if a classic watch isn't your style then you can find a watch that fits your personal style pretty easily.

Target- $12.99

Target- $19.99

Target- $89.99

Michael Kors- $195.00

Coach- $358.00

Movado- $295.00

Watches are a fantastic way to spruce up and outfit that may be missing something. I love watches and I believe that we should all be wearing one everyday so that we are just a little less dependent on the technology that is our cell phones. One more thing about watches....it looks good on everyone! No one should be able to say that they can't find a watch that looks good on them.

Happy Time Telling!

Until Next Time

The One and Only...Michael Kors!

I know that I haven't posted in a long while but I have been so busy with the holidays that I haven't even really had time to breathe.  So I am writting a post right now about one of my most favorite designers of all time...


Michael Kors!

Some of you might know him from the show Project Runway (one of my favorites to watch!), he is a fantastic sportswear designer. His clothes, bags, shoes and accessories are beautiful and luxurious, I personally would buy almost anything from him...the only thing I don't care for is when he puts fur in his collections which is more popular during the fall collections.

I think the thing I love the most about Michael Kors is that he uses classic lines for almost everything he designs. Most if not all of the things he creates are things that can be worn year after year, they will never go out of style...

On the left side in the picture above is Jennifer Hudson, the right is a Michael Kors model.  This is a really great example of how great his clothes are, they look flattering on almost any figure. I mean lets face it, not all of us are skinny minis like the model above. More of us are curvy and beautiful like Ms.Hudson, and you can see that this outfit looks awesome on both of them! I don't know about you, but I would wear this outfit!

Now on to every girls favorite thing...SHOES! Michael Kors designs shoes to die for....and not just heels ladies, I know that we all love to wear heels but if you're 5'11' like me you tend to tower over everyone when you are wearing 4 inch heels.

Okay, so now you have a taste of his shoes...on to bags.

A Michael Kors bag is like carrying a little piece of heaven with you, they are beautiful shapes and colors and textures.

Okay so last but not least, accessories.

So in short, all things Michael Kors are beautiful. Although some items are pricey, they are well worth the money because they will last you a very long time. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Until Next Time

Wonderfuly Decadant Cookies

I just made these great cookies! I got the recipe off of the back of a Hershey Kisses bag. They are called Kisses Magical Cookies...

They taste so good! It's basically a sugar cookie-like shell with a Hershey Kiss in the middle. They are so gooey inside, this is definitely a cookie for the chocolate lover/chocoholic in your life.

The recipe goes as follows

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• About 48 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates, unwrapped
• Powdered sugar

 Directions
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl until creamy. Stir together flour and cocoa; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Mold scant tablespoon dough around each chocolate piece, covering completely. Shape into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

2.Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool about 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Roll in powdered sugar. Roll in sugar again just before serving, if desired. About 4 dozen cookies.

So that's it for this post. Please try these cookies, they are delicious! They would be great for a holiday party or just because you wanted some really yummy cookies!


Until Next Time
