Airport Style

As always, I do love me some celebrity airport style.


If I were flying to Aspen instead of driving to Mississippi today I'd def be wearing this outfit!

Anthropologie Items of the Week


Love this top...also comes in white and dark gray stripes.


Yes those are crawfish on the dress, no this pick is not a joke.  It started off as a joke because I love green and Alex loves crawfish so I told him this was the perfect dress for me to wear on a spring date, but its actually really grown on me.  I know it weird, don't judge me for liking it!

Anthropologie Must Haves

These went on sale this morning and I'm worried that if I wait until Thursday to showcase them they might be sold out so I'm going to go ahead and post them:


I tried this dress on last night when I was picking up a few things for my mom (I thought it would be great for holiday gatherings that aren't too fancy)...it was SUPER flatering!

Its Pendelton wool so it wasn't cheap to begin with but this little dress that started out at $228, is on sale for $149.95 and with the additional 30% off they're offering on sale items you can get it for $115!


I love, love, love this clutch.  So unique and so fun.  It started off at $148, is now on sale for $99.95 which means that with the additional 30% off you can now get it for about $75!

It says its sold out online, but I'm sure you can call you're local store to track it down!

Pinterest Picks - Food


This picture made me crave a BLT...of course mine would be made with fried green tomatoes and would have some sort of tasty sauce with it!


Spinach feta bites...think I'll be making these for my company Christmas party!

Love that chunky knit throw ans the way the light reflects out of the star lights.


I must have a keeping room or some sort of comfortable seating arrangement in my kitchen some day!

Pinterest Picks - Holidays


Such a cute pic!


Love that the little tree has no ornaments and a dove topper made out of book pages.  Simple but pretty.


This one has ornaments but still looks very classic...as you can tell I haven't quite graduated to a full sized Christmas tree yet, but I'm working on it!

Pinterest Picks - Fashion


Love this look for date nights or parties.


Layered stripes and necklaces + tousled hair = Cool.

Anthropologie Items of the Week


Copper dress...looks like Michael Stars fabric...pretty sure the color will be too close to my hair color though.


Kind of think it looks like a moo-moo...otherwise I like it.  Could be cute with black tights and tan boots.


Could be a fun little party top!

Pretty.


I usually feel pretty indifferent about Angelina Jolie, but she looks beautiful in this pic...I sure wish I could pull off nude lips like she can!

Gross.


Don't get me wrong Ke$ha, I love beards, but that is taking it a little too far in my book.

Casual Chic Wedding Style


I love the idea of an over sized cardi over a wedding dress...so casual chic.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

I've been experimenting with Pinterest recipes.  Here's the thing...I'm used to Pioneer Woman recipes and Peanut Butter Runner recipes that are perfect as is.  Pinterest recipes I've discovered are not so much.  They usually require adding one ingredient, removing another, adjusting quantities.  This one was particularly jacked up, but I managed to salvage it and it turned out quite tasty.


Cajun Chicken Pasta

3 chicken breasts (I substituted for 1 lb of shrimp)
8 ounces pasta, cooked al dente (called for linguine, I used penne)
4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (I used Tony Chachere's...note, the hot is HOT...only use 3 tsps of it)
1/4 cup onion chopped
1 tablespoon of EVOO
1cup heavy whipping cream (I used half and half)
4 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil (fresh would have been good if i had it)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (I used a giant clove of fresh garlic minced)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
1. Place shrimp and Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper, basil, garlic and sun dried tomatoes in a bowl and toss to coat.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onions.

3. Reduce heat add cream. Add shrimp and spice mix and heat through.  I had to add a bit of flour to the sauce to thicken it up.

4. Pour over hot pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
