HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I'm so excited tomorrow is Halloween! I love this holiday because you get to dress up and be whatever you want...and you get to eat all the candy you want too :)

Of course Halloween and movie director Tim Burton go hand and hand. He is famous for some pretty crazy weird movies, like Edward Scissorhands, the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the upcoming Alice and Wonderland. I'm not gonna lie- this guy is insane! He is dark and crazy but he is also really creative!

And he directed one of my most favorite halloween movies...Sleepy Hollow!

In the October issue of Bazaar, Tim Burton was asked to help create a magical set full of fashion! Check it out...and maybe get some costume ideas too!

Fashion And Food

Finally a combo of the 2 things I love the most...fashion and food! Who would have thought that the 2 would go so well together!

CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America), which consists of 350 members of the most famous fashion and accessory designers, have gotten together to share their favorite recipes! From Isaac Mizrahi’s Mushroom Truffle Spaghetti, to Carolina Herrera and Derek Lam’s favorite recipes...this is for sure going on my christmas list!

Happy Weekend!

Meet Ralph! He is my little english bulldog!

Today Ralph and I are going to meet Maxamillion. Max is a 4 year old bulldog who is in the NC bulldog rescue, and needs a permenate home. We are hoping to become his new home! The rescue is a great place to look for dogs who need love and a chance at a new and better life.

I have no doubt that Ralph and Max will get a long and become best buddies.

If you don't have one yet, you should get one today!

PS- if you are really interested, be aware they do extensive background checks and there is an interview process. This needs to be done, so these dogs can be sure they are in a loving home and will never be abandoned again.

H&M is coming to Raleigh!

EEEE!

Holy crap- Raleigh's cooler than I thought! haha! The news is out and Crabtree Valley Mall is getting an H&M store. This is serious stuff! The awesomely low priced fashion store will be the first H&M in North Carolina! I can't wait til the opening!

Alien Shoes

On Tuesday Alexander McQueen presented his Spring 2010 collection in Paris. The 10-inch shoes that each model wore, were the talk of the show.

They are the most incredible shoes ever. They are strange and they look like lobster claws and under the sea alien creatures that are going to eat you. And a little futuristic too. What do you think...if you could managing walking in these shoes, without hurting yourself, would you get a pair?

Recipe of the Week: Fish Tacos

I found this recipe on www.RecipeGirl.com, which she notes is a weight watchers recipe!

FISH TACOS W/ CHIPOTLE CREAM

FISH:
2 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 lb white flaky fish fillet, like tilapia or halibut

CHIPOTLE CREAM:
½ cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 Tbs mayonnaise or sour cream (I used light sour cream)
2 tsp chipotle chiles, in adobo sauce (in the mexican isle)

TACOS:
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
1½ cups shredded green cabbage or lettuce
½ cup corn kernels (thawed, if frozen)
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
lime wedges

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over the fish fillets and let marinate for 20 minutes.

2. Remove the fish from the marinade and grill on a preheated grill or nonstick grill pan over a medium-high heat until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Set the fish aside on a plate for 5 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise (or sour cream) and chipotle chiles.

4. Heat tortillas on grill or grill pan for 30 seconds on each side. Or warm in the microwave with wet napkins in between.

5. Flake the fish with a fork. Top each tortilla with 1 Tbsp. of the chipotle cream. Top with fish, cabbage, corn and cilantro; serve with lime wedges.
