Recipe of the Week: Spiced Pumpkin Muffins!

When you are getting ready to go to a holiday party this season, and realize you spent your day on finding an outfit instead of actually baking something to bring...whip this recipe out. These Spiced Pumpkin Muffins are the easiest muffins to make. Seriously!

Your host will appreciate the homemade goods and your friends will love them b/c they taste like the holiday!

I added a spinkle of powdered sugar on them to make them look festive. Or you can smooth on some chocholate frosting to make it more of a dessert cupcake! Or you can just bring them as they are...which is fabulous!

SPICED PUMPKIN MUFFINS

1 box spice cake mix

1 can of pumpkin

1. Preheat 350*. Mix the 2 ingredence until well blended (about 2 mins).

2. Spray down or place cupcake papers in a cupcake pan.

3. Cook about 18-22 mins.

...see, soooo easy!

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?
