Baked S'Mores

So after reading this recipe I decided to give baked s'mores a try...and yeah they are as delicious as they look. Marshmallow creme and rich milk chocolate sandwiched between two cookie crusts? Yes please. My sister continues to request them. Hope everyone had a lovely holiday and have an even better new year :)

Rihanna in Pearls

So, I know I'm late with this, but I finally saw the Victoria Secret Runway Show, more specifically Rihanna's performance outfit. Those glasses are everything! Anyway, the look reminded me of this look, from the 2010 Chanel Runway show.  I guess you can never go wrong with Chanel or pearls.

MashMusic: Ke$ha

Ke$ha's new album Warrior has totally been on repeat in my car.  It's basically party music that makes me feel good at the end of a long work day.  My favorite track? Past Lives.  But Die Young is a good track too. Have a lovely day!

         

Bridesmaid Revisited

Hey! I wore this ensemble to a friends recent nuptials.  The wedding was held outdoors overlooking a golf course, before leaving I was able to have these photos snapped. Instead of going out to the stores to shop (during Black Friday weekend no less) I opted from something out of my closet, the dress I wore as a bridesmaid last year.  That bride was kind in picking a simple color that could be worn again (it was originally worn with a sash), I added a jacket, some pearls and cute pumps to complete the look.
Hope everyone had a happy holiday!

the look: 

dress: old similar here, also like this

jacket: old navy

bag: vintage

shoes: nine west

necklace, earrings and cuff: j. crew

Turkey Day

 by marissadanelle featuring nine west shoes

So yeah, I will be at the office this Black Friday :(. But, I won't be out of the loop completely from online shoe stores to my favorite shops, I will definitely let my fingers do the shopping! It's actually less of a hassle that way and some stores (like the gap) will have extra discounts!

Also, use the code blackfridaybonus at Asos to receive 20% off.

So, what stores will you be visiting tomorrow?

And of course Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Pinning Away

Some of my recent pins on Pinterest.  Lately, I have definitely been focused on hairdos and accessories for an upcoming wedding (those nails are so cute). Follow me here and leave a link to your board (or blog etc.) so that I can follow along too! Have an amazing day :)

Hart of Style

One of my favorite shows to watch just for the styling alone is Hart of Dixie.  Starring Rachel Bilson as Zoe Hart, a big city doctor who works on her bedside manner in a small town that she grows to love.  I love Zoe's style, it's perfect for the hot weather, the character tends to mix separates like pants, shirts and blazers that are perfect for regular work well (although the shorts may be difficult to pull off in some work environments).

Love this set put together on Polyvore by hannna98.  

Hart of Dixie airs at 8 p.m. Tuesdays on the CW.  All of season 1 is up on Netflix now, so you can catch up. 

Dress + Pants

Emma Watson (one of my fave Emmas) hit the red carpet for the premiere of her latest film The Perks of Being a Wallflower wearing a strapless dress over skinny tuxedo pants.  Definitely a look I am thinking about stealing for an upcoming wedding.  Nicole Kidman follows suit on the cover of Harper's Bazaar, in Dior.  Loving both, but how do you feel about wearing a dress with pants?  Yay or nay?

 

Camo'd

Wore this out to a bridal shower the other day.  Picked up the dress for $13 at Ross.

I have been on a bit of a shoe kick lately...obviously in love with brown and neutrals.  Picked up the Coach sneakers on super sale at Nordstrom Rack, how I love looking for those red tags there.  Hope everyone had a lovely weekend :).

Color Pop

Yesterday Elle magazine hosted the Women in Hollywood party.  The red carpet was pretty safe, save for a few lovely ladies who added a touch of pizzazz to the proceedings.  

Danai Gurira wore a lwd and added a pop of color with her shoes.  

loving how emma stone paired this pink frock with a hounds tooth-printed pumps

leslie mann was spot on with an orange frock, but kept the rest of the look demure
 with nude pumps and simple earrings.

MashMovie: Halloween

Outside of August (my birthday month!) October is one of my favorites of the year.  The weather begins to change (the humidity leaves Miami for a bit) and the holidaze is right around the corner (Christmas shopping begins J. Although I'm not a huuuge fan of Halloween, I do like handing out candy and looking at the great costumes (you can find great Halloween ideas and games at Woolworths,I do like a scary movie or two every now and then below my movie picks for the month.

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry, costume ideas galore and music too? Adds up to a campy good time.

The Omen, 1976

One of the first scary movies that I watched in it's entirety.  A creepy, tricycle-riding demon child (named Damien, no less) put in line to become a political power house? Scary indeed.  

What are some of your favorite scary movies?

Get the Look: Rihanna

Rihanna stepped out this week in NYC in a monochromatic navy look.  I don't know how the weather is where you are, but a chiffon top with shorts and sandals seem about right for Miami right now.

                                                                          the look:

shirt: on sale at Garage here!

shorts: here

belt: here

MashMusic: Losing You

I have a well documented love for Solange (see here, here and here) So imagine how happy I am to see her back in action singing in her new video for her single "Losing You."  Solange owns her fashion muse status in looks by Kenzo, J. Crew, DVF and Suno as she traipses around Cape Town with her friends.  Love the entire look and feel of the video (even the weird dancing going on around the :46 mark).  My favorite look has to be the orange suit, which is your favorite?

  

               

Teal Blues

                            It's still hot in the MIA, but that doesn't stop me from wearing blazers, can't wait
                            however to wear my boots.

the look:

blazer: forever 21

shirt: old navy (old)

skirt: asos (old)

shoes: nine west

jewelry: target "limited edition"

Vamps

So yeah, I am super excited about the new Alicia Silverstone film Vamps. It co-stars Krysten Ritter (she of The B in Apt. 23) and even features a cameo from Sigourney Weaver. The trailers below, let me know what you think in the comments.
