Nude Polka Dots

I had an amazing weekend. On Friday, I went for some "Black Friday" shopping with a cousin, we had a blast plus I got the chance to get some additions to my wardrobe and makeup collection. At night I went to have dinner with some friends, we had our own private "Thanksgiving Dinner".

Being Thankful

Thanksgiving Day is supposed to be a day where families get together along with a great meal and give thanks for what they have, for life itself. I love this holiday, not just because you meet up with your family and closest friends, but because this day means sharing love and creating new memories to remember. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving Day :)

This is what I wore that day…

Blueberry Cupcakes

I was looking forward to stay home and relax this weekend, so my plans are to bake and watch the complete second season of Gossip Girl. Today I was feeling like baking, so I settled for muffins, blueberry muffins! I think they are my first muffins ever, so I guess they turned out okay! J

Sparkling Hot Pink

Lately I’ve been hooked by sparkling nail polishes. I think that they can be used in so many ways, depending on the outfit that you’re wearing and the effect that you want to make. These nail polishes can be mixed with any color, and they will look just fabulous!

Here’s my combination:

End result.

Twilight Leather

 I realized I haven’t done something big and nice with my hair for quite some time now. Sometimes we need special events or reasons to dress up very nice. Well today it was one of “those” days. I decided I was going to dress up with a nice hair and make up for the greatest reasons of all: for my niece’s christening and even more because I am now her godmother!

Chocolate + Fashion

When I was younger and not long ago I hated the kitchen and everything that had to do with cooking, except for baking. Lately I’ve been cooking and baking more often stuff that I really like, “googoling” and researching recipes online and buying cooking books. Yesterday for example I was baking chocolate chunk cookies, and let me tell you that I find it really calming when I prepare something with love and because I want to, it adds it that special something and you feel very good when you see the results.

These are some of the new additions to my wardrobe that I’m in love with.

Steamed Hips with Pasta Alfredo

Since yesterday’s weather was very cloudy and rainy, I realized it was a perfect occasion for a home cooked dinner. I decided to make steamed hips with carrots, onions and peppers sided by pasta alfredo with broccoli and bread toasts. This was my very first attempt at cooking this recipe and it turned out very good. There’s no better feeling than sharing a lovely evening with your family.

End result.

Fall Fashion Trends

After summer’s bold color blocking outfits and floral couture, it seems that the fall is going in a complete different direction; which means neutral. This season what is actually “in” are the nude colors, also the pink and white. This fall I would like to make some neutral additions to my wardrobe, maybe more dark nail polishes and vintage fabrics. Here are some of the items on my wish list.

1. Forever 21 Belts $3.50

2. Essie Power Clutch $8

3. Forever 21 Romper $22.80

4. Forever 21 Handbag $32.80

5. Forever 21 Wedges $26.80

Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Baking is something that I enjoy doing since I was in high school. I think it’s fun how you can create so much by following the recipe and mixing the ingredients, or even editing the recipe and experiment by adding and/or removing other ingredients. Today I was feeling a little more like doing brownies, so I decided since it was a beautiful Sunday morning to bake dark chocolate fudge brownies! There’s nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment when you get the results you were expecting.

Here are some pictures for visual entertainment :) Enjoy!

End result.

My doggie was happy with the result :)
