Bon Voyage





Last night, I had a wonderful dream that I was in France...and then I woke up.  Oh well, at least I can style outfits I would love to wear if I was there sightseeing, shopping, people watching while sipping coffee at a cafe, etc.   

Hmm...I wonder when I'll be able to make this a reality.

A Happy Surprise





In the past, banana bread has never really been something I've craved.  The ones I've had where either too dense and somewhat dry, or had to much going on.  This fortunately changed when I found this terrific recipe!

While I did do a bit of tweaking, I was surprised to find that this actually made me a banana bread fan. 

Changes I Made:

- 4 bananas 
- nixed the cinnamon 
- didn't add nuts 
- only use about 3/4 c of sugar
- replaced the sour cream with table cream + 1 or 2 t of lemon juice
- used cake flour instead of all purpose flour (and didn't add more to equal the amount for a.p. flour)

These tweaks made me wish I made me wish I made two instead of one!

Do you like banana bread?  If not, this recipe might just change your mind.

An Outfit Fit For A Celebrity Wedding





Just a little something a put together for a contest at Polyvore.  I'm not quite sure which celeb's wedding I'd want to wear this outfit to, but I knew I wanted this outfit to be feminine with a touch of edginess mixed in.  

What do you think?  What would you wear to a celebrity wedding?

Have you seen my previous post?

P.S.
Sorry for being m.i.a. for so long. Let's just say the last weeks have been like being in a whirlwind, but I've been making some drafts for upcoming posts which will be up soon.
