FW: S/S 2011- CHANEL

My idea of a perfect outfit.

So much detail, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Either way, I love it.

Another perfect outfit.

The coat is amazing.

Would love to wear on any given day.

The shag top.

I'm loving the minis with the boots.

So very Karl.

Hate the shoes, love the jacket.

Where you would wear this to I have no idea, but who cares.

White Chocolate Mousse with passionfruit.

250g good quality white chocolate chopped
1/3 cup (80ml) whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, separated
1 ½ cups + 1 tablespoon (375ml) heavy cream
6 tablespoons passion fruit pulp

Place the white chocolate, milk and vanilla in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Heat until the chocolate is just melted, stirring regularly. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Set aside.
Whip the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form then fold through the chocolate mixture until just combined.
Whisk the egg whites in a large, dry, clean stainless steel bowl until soft peaks form. Using a large metal spoon, fold through the chocolate mixture in two batches.
Divide the mousse between six 1 cup (240ml) capacity serving dishes/bowls.
Cover and chill for 3 to 4 hours, or until set.
Spoon passion fruit on top of the mousse just before serving.



This recipe I found on technicolor kitchen looks AMAZING. I"ll definetely have to try it...after I'm pregnant....bc I can't eat raw egg. This pregnancy thing sometimes sucks. I got a full 8 hours of sleep last night, but I woke up with the worst backache, because I slept on my back instead of my side, so the baby was pressing against my spine all night. Well, I better suck it up because It's only going to get harder as the baby gets bigger! <3

Olivia Palermo you kill me. Her style is so my jam lately.





21 weeks!

So it's a...

GIRL! here we go again....
So excited. Well, our internet has gotten shut off, we just got it turned back on. Thank god! I've been basically doing...yoga, cooking, taking care of Arrolyn, craft projects. It's nice. A nice start to the new year.

Tonight I"m going to finish up my pressed flower curtains.

I'm absolutely dreaming of the beach. I want to go surfing.

So ready for spring!

I want to garden. I want to sunbathe. I want to go to the beach! I'm sick of being inside...and cold. Although...it is a nice change being pregnant during the winter. It's alot easier, I'll admit that. Can't wait to have a picnic in the park and drink lemonade and fly kites. Ugh! Oh, happy birthday Elvis.

Mardi Gras!

It's the kick off of Carnival season. I'm sooo excited. Arrolyn is older now so I think she'd really have fun and be amazed by it. I just figured out my sewing machine, so now I can make her cute little costumes and headpieces. And eat some king cake. Duh.



The start of this year so far has been really...slow. Not much has been happening in this city. It's almost as if the NYE hangover was so bad the city needs a couple weeks to recouperate. I also wanted to take Arrolyn to a parade tonight, it started at 6 but she's already sleeping! Oh well, there's lots more to come.

What a crap day.

Went to the doctor's office, ended up being there like 4 hours..waiting. And the only thing I had to read was a Glamour with Kim Kardashian on it. Now I like her...but not enough to read her article for hours on end. Well, all is fine with the baby2. We have an ultrasound next week to find out the sex so that's exciting! I'm organizing all the pictures on my photobucket, computer, and youtube. It's taking me days.

All I want to do is veg out, watch crap tv, eat crap and not move a muscle. I'm tired of chasing around a one year old all day. *sigh*

One of my new years resolutions is to build an awesome lingerie collection.






I love lingerie. 6 months pregnant and all.

What I'll be baking tomorrow:

Cherry crumble. For the recipe click here.

Cute video I found from when Arrolyn was 2 months old.

Found a delish new perfume. I've been searching for another one to add to my collection. Right now I'm obsessed with Flora by Gucci, but I wanted to try another one. So I hopped off to the department store and I came across Burberry's Summer. YUM! I'll have to get this asap.


P.s. my stroller got stuck in the parking lot at the mall today, and I could NOT get it unstuck. I had 3 people try and help me. So I threw the thing in the front seat...still open. That was embarrasing and annoying. But I'm trying to be more patient, so I took deep breaths and tried to relax.
Oh, and I also saw Sean Penn walking down the street earlier today as well.

My new DIY

I have to ring in the new year with this sleep mask.

Spent today visiting my mom, grocery shopping, making butter pecan cake, watching the OC and Twilight Zone, and doing yoga. 

I'm also officially 18 weeks. Woohoo!
