Shoe Crush

I love shoes, for as long as I can remember I have always loved shoes. No matter how I am feeling, even when I am having a "fat day" a pair of shoes always cheers me up, because you see my size 6 never lets me down! Even when I feel like dressing down, a pair of killer pumps can brighten up my outfit! I was browsing some of my favourite online shops and found these beauties over at Aldo, a lot of them are from their newest fall line.

These are my absolute favs!

cooking part II

or rather take two!! good thing i have another year to perfect my skills....see i'm all smiles in the pic b/c i think i have mastered the empanada (which is seriously a fancy word for hot pocket)...until my husband reads the recipe and says we're suppose to have 12 and we only have 6. whoops! reading the instructions correctly is always a plus when cooking. they had twice as much dough as they were suppose to but it didn't ruin dinner. i am not giving up on my quest. i want to try them again and this time, i should lay off the wine until dinner :)

ps. seleta, thanks for my bracelet...i love her ;)

Etsy Seller: High Street Market

As an etsy seller myself I love to support and feature other great shops, and although I am sure this shop needs no introduction I think you should all have a look at High Street Market if you haven't already...enjoy all the eye candy!

Colour palette: Blue & Beige

Check out Mango's newest Fall 2010 collections. I am in love, I can say that about clothes right? well I am in love with the styling of these photos, and I can't wait to get my hands on some of these looks for Fall.

New for fall: Zara

I have to say that summer and fall are my favourite seasons. I love all the warm crisp tones of fall and of course the fall season for clothing is the best! Who doesn't love to wrap themselves in a beautiful cashmere pashmina or wear a camel coloured trench or jacket or what about cableknits and tweed!! here are a few of my favourite looks from Zara for Fall 2010.

amazing coat with great buttons

this looks so chic and cozy

what an awesome leopard print clutch

I am of the belief that leopard print is a neutral? What do you think?

cooking...

i'm 31 and i want to cook. i mean, i can cook; warren and i enjoy doing it but i want to learn to really cook. according to julia, i have one year left before i really have to get down to business. i'm making homemade empanadas (thanks sis-in-law) for supper tonight....i figure i need the practice :)
