the time has come.

Ladies listen up! I know there is no Zara in the area, but beginning TOMORROW [9.7.11] us less fortunate fashion-ista's living without a Zara in site are able to shop on-line & free delivery.

What could be better? I know, a Zara store in Minnesota, but until now-this will have to do!

Start shopping now!

a new love.

Back in March I posted about a website called Pinterest. I described it basically as a "virtual" pin board, which it truly is. I didn't spend much time on there due to not really understanding how exactly how the site worked. These past few days I read about it again on a fellow bogger's site and decided to give the site a re-visit. Let's just say it's become a new love and I haven't been able to stay off it since. 

 Request an invite and try yourself &/or follow me on Pinterest!

Happy Pinning!

givin it a little twist.

I don't have a lot of time today to post a particular cupcake recipe, but I did come across a link on Real Simple. You will find 10 new twists to make "original" cupcakes a little more unique.

Like this PB&J cupcake, 

 or this Take a Bow cupcake...how cute is this? and real simple! [no pun intended]

 I think this could be my favorite choice, the Whole Lotta Chocolate. 

I might just have to give this one a try this weekend. I'll let ya know how it turns out. 

Enjoy!

beauty favorites #2.

A while back I posted the "original" beauty favorite's here and since then I have many more favorites that should to be added to the list.

 This AMAZING lip scrub & lip gloss, called lip slip by Sara Happ- $24 each.

* you can purchase locally at Room No. 3, in Edina!

This is great for the upcoming Winter season, no more dry, flaky lips.

 This great new Fall, 2011 color, Lady-like by Essie- $8

 NAKED by Urban Decay eyeshadow pallet- $48

This comes with THE best colors around. The only eyeshadow pallet you will need for your favorite everyday colors. 

 MAC, Pinch-o-peach powder blush- $19.50

A great "natural" Fall look! The perfect shade on your cheek bones.

 &

 Dermalogica, active moist face moisturizer- $28

I have offically switched moisturizers for my face. I used to use Aveeno [which is great] but used the Dermalogica brand face wash and wanted to test out the moisturizer. There is a reason this product has 100% rating on their site. It's great! Super liteweight and leaves your face feeling perfectly moisturized.

sweet smell of peonies.

I love that Fall is right around the corner and we will soon be waking up to the scent of cool, crisp air. I did however, come across this soft, amazing scent of peony. I understand it's slightly outta season, but once you smell this line you will agree with me.

The whole collection of peony scented gifts are available on the k. hall website along with many other scents [some even more appropriate for Fall]
