Outfit Post

Thought I would share the outfit I wore today!



//Shirt-Marshalls//Skinnies-Old Navy//Booties-Old Navy//Bracelets-H&M, Forever 21//Watch-Target(Timex)//Earrings-F21//




Unfortunatley this outfit was short lived, because I had to change into my workout clothes! BUT, I'm so glad I did because I got to attend an awesome class at Pop Physique! If you haven't tried this type of workout, you need to..It is a mix of pilates/ballet and it will sure as hell kick your ass (in a good way)!

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving, I know I did! Besides being super stuffed currently, I'm also preparing my Christmas wish list. Ok, ok I know, BUT who doesn't ask the question, "What do you want this year?" Also, with all the black friday sales and all the crazy people braving shopping( I am not one of them)..it's making me excited for the holiday gift-getting and giving! : )

Dress Form- I like dress forms to use as a display, to hang necklaces, scarves, or a blazer.

Michael Kors Bangle- I am a gold girl, but rose gold is even more beautiful, it can be mixed and matched with just about anything, and it's got a hint of a vintage feel. This bangle is a perfect addition to an arm fiesta!


Over-the-knee boots- These are perfect for a casual or a dressed up look, and blowfish shoes are always so comfy so that's a plus!

One of the many things I crave for this season is a snake skin clutch (imitation of course)! I mean, don't get me wrong, I die for the ones you've seen on the runway, but right now I don't see myself spending that money on anything but my student loans -___-. So I will settle for one that is just as amazing, but made for a girl on a budget!

For the girl who doesn't mind burning a hole in her pocket!(Jealous)

What are some of your fall essentials?

Daily Outfit and Baking with Kitty!

A downside to living in South Florida is not seeing a change in seasons. It's the middle of November and it's 80 degrees! (yeah, yeah I'm sure most of you think I'm crazy)! I've lived here my entire life, but have always yearned to see the leaves change those beautiful colors in the fall, and I don't want to give up those colors in my wardrobe either. I love the thought of sequins during the day time, it's fun to experiment with different looks and work it on either the top or the bottom! I also enjoy the thought of updated neutrals such as army greens, so I thought to marry the two together with some classic black pumps!



//Top: Forever 21(last season)// Pants: Gap// Pumps:Steve Madden// Ring, Earrings: Forever 21// Watch: Citizen Eco-Drive//






I added a simple braided UPDO with some fun earrings(grandma earrings as I like to call them) and a bright ring to tie the outfit all together. Viola! Instant fall look for Floridians wanting to make a statement!




I also had the pleasure of spending the day with my wonderful cousin, Katie aka: Kitty the Baker! She wanted to try out a new recipe perfect for a Thanksgiving dessert and I wanted to include it on here so you guys can try it out too! It's a fun spin on the classic pumpkin pie!

Here's the recipe!







The finished product:

So yummy! Let me know if you guys used this recipe, and how it turned out!!
