Luv

Is it too much to ask for a skirt like this?

Sunday, November 28, 2010

Even though I ~~despise~~ dislike Miley Cyrus.. I kind of can see what she's going for with this dress. IF she was above the age of 21.
Anywho... this Marchesa dress is definitely unwearable in real life

But this ASOS Aqua Wo cape dress is a someone more realistic option...

The epitome of fast times and rock n roll.

Note: I am definitely copying those champagne flutes. Thanks to this editorial, I will now be hosting a 1970's dazed + confused / glam rock / coke disco NYE formal NYE party. thoughts? lol

Tinsel + rhinestone decorated glasses = genius.

(Also madly searching internet for bedazzled headphones....)

Is it wrong that my favorite part is Nathan Followill lighting one up at the beginning?

Thanksgiving Treat

I think this is what I will be making to bring to my Aunt's Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday and my Dad's on Friday. Such a delicious treat, with the perfect sweet and salty mix. 

(Recipe +photo via: Delish.com via O, The Oprah Magazine)

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup(s) sugar
1 can(s) evaporated milk
3/4 cup(s) heavy cream
3/4 cup(s) light corn syrup
2 tablespoon(s) butter
1/4 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon(s) coarse sea salt
Oil or cooking spray

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring sugar, evaporated milk, and heavy cream to a boil over medium heat. Add corn syrup and continue cooking until mixture reaches 230 degrees F.
Add butter and vanilla; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until caramel reaches 240 degrees F. Remove from heat, stir in salt, and carefully pour into a lightly oiled 9" x 13" baking dish (parchment paper in the bottom of the pan is helpful).
Let cool at least 1 hour. Invert onto a cutting board covered with waxed or parchment paper and cut into 1-inch pieces with a sharp, lightly oiled knife. Caramels can be wrapped in waxed or parchment paper or cellophane. (To serve candy-store style, wrap individual pieces in parchment paper and secure the ends with a simple twist.) Store airtight at cool room temperature (around 65 degrees F) or in the refrigerator; will keep up to 3 weeks.

Steal

Day 20 / 21.  I finally needed to return the 2 items sitting in the large, bright yellow bag that has been sitting in the corner of my room since my last excursion at Forever21.

I was JUST going to get store credit instead of exchanging... when I saw these beauties.... 

 Suedette Platform Pumps for $24.80

Hmmmm... These look rather familiar. Oh. That's right.

Yves Saint Laurent Imperiale Platform Pumps
($795, NORDSTROM)

No. They're not exactly the same. Maybe the 4Evs don't have as high of a heel.

But they do it for me. And that's all that matters. And nowhere in my near future am I going to be spending $795 for a pair of shoes. So 4Evs will have to suffice.

Cold Day

(Photo: Vogue Germany December 2010 via Studded Hearts)

Need to purchase some 90's style chunky sweaters ASAP for the cold nights in Europe and "cold" nights when I get back to LA. I do not need any more maxi skirts. I wiped out Forever21, American Apparel + ASOS completely. I really love the formal gown looking skirt with the casual sweater look as seen in the Vogue Germany shoot above.

Below I've created a bit more affordable look that is similar.

Dressy + Casu = luv
