Muffin Gooooodness!

I'm sure by now most of you all have realized my love for cooking and baking. Muffins are one of my all time favorite things to bake for people! They are easy, transport well and everyone could use something for breakfast, right? After all breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

I had some leftover bananas in the freezer that I needed to use up so that's where these muffins came into play. A little tip here, when your bananas start getting too brown and mushy slice them up and put them in baggies in your freezer and keep them for smoothies or baked goods. Any who back to the muffins,YUMMY is all I have to say.

I'm backkkkk with coverage of the GG's!

Hiiii people, sorry I've been MIA, I was out of town all last week and then a dear friend of mine got married this past weekend so I've been enjoying all the fun wedding festivities!

However, I definitely have had time to peruse all the hits and misses of last nights Golden Globes fashion choices. Here are my favorites of the night!

This is my favorite for sure, just love it. J. Mendel is a genius! I love classic black and white color combo, but the silver metallic accents just make the dress. Claire looks stunning.

It was SO hard for me to pick between Claire or Jessica for my fav of the night. Ultimately, Claire is my favorite like stated above, but I still love Jessica's look. Its very vintage glam to me, and while some people might think this look is too "sweet", I think its perfection and fresh. It also doesn't hurt that my current fav handbag designer Givenchy designed this dress as well.

I dont' know if its the emerald green tassel earrings or the black Chanel ruffled dress she is wearing but I'm in love with this complete look. 

Julianne Moore in Chanel

 I know some people wouldn't agree with this choice, but I love the unique and playful feel this dress has just like Zooey appears to be in real life. And its custom made Prada people, whats not to love.

And I had to mention Julianne Margulies's GORGEOUS earrings, I love a statement earring and these Lorranie Schwartz jewels are no exception, just stunning.

Next Time GAP Has a Promo, I Want This...

Morning everyone!! I have just a quick little post today. I came across this cardigan yesterday on GAP and had to share it with all of you. GAP actually did have a promo yesterday, but I totally forgot to order it. So, I'm waiting on pins and needles for when GAP has their next one so I can scoop up this cardi. Love the mix of a classic color with a neon, that was a huge trend on the S/S runways.

Whose Up for a Honeymoon?!

Does everyone else have a TON of friends getting married in the coming months?! Well the hubs and I do which we LOVE because who doesn't love weddings? So in honor of some of my friends who I know will soon be stunning brides I'm showcasing a precious Tory Burch cover-up today. Your honeymoon wardrobe is important people. If I was going on my honeymoon again (Wouldn't that be awesome!) I would definitely snatch up this cover-up. So simple and chic and it could even work over skinny jeans, would be especially cute with all the fun bright colored skinny jeans that are out there right now, like these!

Anyone Need a Background?

Ummmm have you all heard of the ETSY seller McKinley Margo? My friend Emmy just told me about this seller yesterday and I LOVE her stuff. Who knew these precious monogrammed iPhone and iPad backgrounds even existed?! And Amber (the shop owner) can also turn any of these backgrounds into actual stationary or note cards, how great is that. I've already contacted Amber about some stationary and she has been so quick to get back to me and seems like she will be great to work with. My favorite pattern is definitely the gold ikat!

Sorel Chicness

Are you all familiar with the brand Sorel? They make great all weather boots that are actually chic! Since I live in Texas I wouldn't wear a pair of these on a daily basis during our winter months but, I do visit the mountains usually once a year so I purchased a pair to take on my ski trip next week. And OMG, they are so cute in person and I'm so excited to wear them. Sorel has been around for years and their boots are favorites of many celebrities too. I hope I look as chic in my boots as some of these lovely ladies below do!
