<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> M</span>y apologies for being an absentee blogger. Between hurricanes and snow storms and my fabulous photographer being out of town I have been totally MIA lately. Anywho - Back to biz: I have been itching to wear this sweater since I got it. I love the cool ombre tones, the buttons on the back and the interesting texture to boot. However, it's always been on the short side and I'm not much for exploring the world of bare midriffs, especially when it's sweater weather. So I began scouring my closet for something to pair with this sucker - a skirt, some high waisted pantaloons... I was at a loss - Nothing looked right. Then it hit me - Dresses. I was completely excluding the idea of tossing the sweater overtop of a dress. HEYO! And that, ladies and gents, is just what I did. </div>

Feeling stir crazy {<i>as is evident by my goofy looking smiles in some of these shots</i>} and in need of some fresh air I went for a walk around the block armed with my trusty trench coat to keep me dry should it begin to rain... In retrospect, I should have given those blue suede boots a second thought considering the dark and ominous skies... But back to the trench! </div>

Everyone should have a trench coat in their wardrobe arsenal - We're talking serious longevity with this piece. I opted for a classic Burberry model back in the day when I purchased this khaki colored rain companion, mostly because I can't get enough of Burberry's classic design. The trench is a piece that has transcended decades of trend shifts, and although mine may lack the detail of it's newly conceived brethren, it is no less lovely. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">T</span>here's been an abundance of grey days here in NYC. Can't say that I'm not sick of 'em, cause I am - I totally am. BUT, they are an ever present reminder that Fall is in full swing, and this girl<i> loves</i> Fall. Tall boots, fuzzy vests, felt hats - Heeyyo! So in honor of these grey days I'm keepin' it, well... grey!!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I </span><i>love </i>cut-offs. <b>I do</b>. I practically live in them all summer long, so when the Fall rolls in and bare legs become uncomfortable I begin to wonder - What is the cut off for rocking cut offs???<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to think that you can happily wear cut offs well into the crispy, cool, Autumnal weather </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as long as you have yourself a pair of cozy tights to layer beneath them, and what is Fall if not a time to <u>pile on the layers</u>?! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">W</span>hen I think about leather's place in fashion's past, present and future a multitude of images come to mind... the "Fonz"... motorcycle riding bad asses... sassy babes with loads of sex appeal... ass kicking chicks like Trinity a la <i>The Matrix</i>, and this list goes on...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But one thing I had never considered leather to be was </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i>lady-like.</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Why? </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">You know - I'm not sure, but I'm about to delve deep for an answer. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It's true, you can rock leather for an edgier more downtown look, but why the heck not as a more polished, classically tailored uptown look? The answer ladies and gents is: YOU CAN! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Then why the deuce is it that up until now I was looking at leather as a piece used only for grunging things up? </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Had I allowed stereotypes to limit my creativity? I think so! I am presently rolling my eyes at myself because, helllloooo! Leather can totally and absolutely be </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i>lady-like! </i>And to prove it I paired my new leather pants</span></span> with what I like to think of as a fabulously "Audrey"-inspired top.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span"> Alright, well, I might not exactly be undercover, and I'm certainly not successfully blending in with the fall foliage and Halloween spider web decor, but hey, a girl can try, right?! No but seriously, I dig camo, and I suuuuuriously dig the soft, subtle, feminine look of the camo print Equipment used for this blouse. And while I think camo has the versatility and capacity to be utilized in just about any outfit, for any occasion, I felt like staying casual by slinging on a pair of ultra flare jeans and topping it off with an</span> über warm shearling jacket. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>{Side note: Something about this jacket always makes me feel like Penny Lane... though seriously lacking Kate Hudson's fabulous, curly, impeccably tousled mane, of course (sigh!).}</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>W</b>e've all been there - Sparse, sperm-shaped, over-plucked eyebrows. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mine happened in high school when I got to tweezing and couldn't stop myself. Regardless of when said brow catastrophe happened, ladies, wouldn't you agree that once the damage is done, it seems to take an excruciatingly long amount of time for those suckers to grow back? And it's not as though they grow back in one united front. It's a hair here, a hair there... Awkward to the point where they look unkempt, spotty and super weird! Needless to say I have no desire to revisit my sperm brow days, but these standard brows of mine are feeling... pretty <i>standard. </i>I want something a little different, ya know?So I have launched into grow-out territory again and boy is it just as awkward as it was the first time!!!! I can only imagine that after 15 years of brow grooming that this little project of mine is going to take a whole heap of time in order to get myself a pair like the epically beautiful brows above!! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">R</span>ain boots can be a pretty crucial part of a gal's wardrobe, don't you think? Especially if said gal anticipates having to do any kind of trudging around on those wet, rainy days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The question is: <i>What kind of rain boots are right for you?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had a pair of navy blue Hunter wellies for the last 10 years that have served me through thick and thin, and most importantly through torrential down pours and drizzles alike, but truth be told I get kind of bored of them. I've found myself feeling bummed out when rain is in the forecast not only because rainy days are pretty dreary in general, but because I feel like those tried and true navy wellies have their limitations. So, in an effort to brighten up my rainy days I sought out something a little more... Interesting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What did I find?</i> </div>

I've been really excited to bring back dark and moody nail polish colors for the Fall {not that they weren't totally rockable during the Spring and Summer, but I often found myself reaching for brighter colors during those months. Something about warm weather and sunshine for whatever reason makes me shy away from darker hues}, and I have wanted to give the whole 'cosmic' nail look a whirl. Unfortunately my talents aren't quite up to par with that of a real nail artist, with all the swirls and star clusters they manage to execute, but hey - I gave it my best shot!<br />

Crisp cool breezes; crunchy fallen leaves; rich red, yellow and orange hues adorning tree tops; cuddling up in comfy knits and cozy scarves while sipping pumpkin lattes - There's really not much that I don't absolutely adore about this time of year, but as the days grow shorter and the weather becomes cooler, my skin is yearning for a little extra attention.<br />
<br />
Skin is a finicky thing, no? {And if yours isn't, well then we can't be friends... Just kidding. Though I do envy you in a major way!}<br />
<br />
<br />
Each season seems to require a little something different when it comes to achieving a happily balanced epidermis. In the Summer I wrote about my battle to keep my skin looking <i>acceptably</i> "dewy" and not entering the land of plain ol' greasy and gross. Now, with the coming of Fall, right on par with my skin's schizophrenia, it's begging for more moisture and frequent exfoliation. Therefore, it was time to make some changes to the routine, and here they are:<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixTCTeSQgTSA7uzmE2VSc_ZtuLRgo12_sU0_sEePtceAcHsnFQUtVblfCQLReAleqXwEggXyP-2J2DRQ1381K9AsZgQOHDSZTTybsYblJV6PXZfxJvXNsHL9MuYWIjR8XMR9tbzkCgiEE/s1600/skincare.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixTCTeSQgTSA7uzmE2VSc_ZtuLRgo12_sU0_sEePtceAcHsnFQUtVblfCQLReAleqXwEggXyP-2J2DRQ1381K9AsZgQOHDSZTTybsYblJV6PXZfxJvXNsHL9MuYWIjR8XMR9tbzkCgiEE/s640/skincare.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
In the morning I like to do one of two things:<br />
<br />
1. If I'm launching into the day with no shower, I like to use <i>Sprout Skincare's <a href="http://sproutskincare.myshopify.com/products/cleanser" target="_blank">Cleanser</a></i> which isn't your typical lathering face wash. It's a super gentle concoction of rosewater, vegetable glycerin, and just the right amount of tea tree oil. The consistency is watery and unlike any other cleanser I've ever used before, and the same goes for its instructions: <i>Shake well, apply to face with cotton. Rinse gently with warm water</i>. The process is a little strange at first for someone who is used to a sudsy experience, but the formula is incredibly effective, perfectly gentle for morning skin and wonderfully non drying.<br />
<br />
2. If I've got time for a shower <i>One Love Organic's <a href="https://oneloveorganics.com/shop/easy-does-it-cleanser" target="_blank">Easy Does It Foaming Cleanser</a> </i>is my cleanser of choice. It foams in a really cool, not your typical sudsy soap way {which makes sense seeing as it is in fact SOAP FREE}. The scent is intoxicating to me - Beyond lovely {likely attributed it to the cold-pressed apple oil} and it's instant mood boosting capabilities are something I look forward to every day. Again, muy importante here is that this formula is non drying and doesn't have any weird creepy ingredients lurking around.<br />
<br />
<b>Outta the shower and into a robe</b> - *Note: We're focusing strictly on face here {besides my body care has remained the same for over a year: <i>Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap</i> in Baby Mild, <i>Everyday Shea</i> <i>Body Moisturizer</i>, and <a href="http://www.spiritbeautylounge.com/soapwalla-kitchen-deodorant-cream.html" target="_blank"><i>Soapwalla Kitchen's Deodorant Cream</i> </a>- The combo is tried and true and holy moly am I thankful for <i>that</i> given how looney tunes my face can get!}<br />
<br />
Once my face is clean I use <i>Sprout Skincare's <a href="http://sproutskincare.myshopify.com/products/toner" target="_blank">Toner</a></i> all over my face. It's a mixture of water, raw apple cider vinegar, witch hazel, and essential oils of clary sage and sandalwood. The combination of ingredients has been straight MAGICAL. Really, it's managed to stop new blemishes from appearing and the remnants of past breakouts have been banished. And although raw apple cider vinegar plays a crucial role in this breakout banning elixir, it does not and will not make your face smell like the House Salad at some restaurant. Now, the instructions for application of the toner are pretty standard with the whole cotton ball routine, but I always feel like when I use cotton balls it soaks up way more of the toner than I actually need, soooo I poured the Toner into a clean, glass spray bottle that I had from a previous product and HEYO, no more wasted Toning goodness sucked into that cotton ball and wasted!<br />
<br />
Immediately following the Toner, and while my skin is still nice and damp, I take about a small pea size amount of <i>Sprout Skincare's</i> <a href="http://sproutskincare.myshopify.com/products/cream" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Cream</a>, and between my two index fingers I warm it up to a nice soft, frosting-like consistency. I dab a bit of it on all four corners of the earth, or ya know, my face, and then massage and blend. The experience is a treat, and this cream is the BOMB. Made up of wildcrafted, unrefined shea butter, extra virgin coconut oil, and extra virgin olive oil the cream is soothing, nourishing, moisturizing and will not, I repeat will NOT clog your pores. Not to mention the fabulous antimicrobial, acne fighting aspects dwelling in the coconut oil! Seriously, the stuff looks like vanilla frosting and thus the thought of slathering it all over your face is slightly terrifying, especially if you worry that at any moment an acne war of the worlds could ensue on your face. Cast your fears aside! I assure you that your face will experience nothing but peace and complete happiness as you allow this cream to dreamily melt in to your skin and magically disappears without a trace of grease. A very little goes an incredibly long way making the longevity of this product pretty flippin' awesome!<br />
<br />
At night it's the same ol' routine as above with a little bit of exfoliation in the mix, every other day. <i>Acure Organics </i>makes a <a href="http://www.acureorganics.com/brightening-facial-scrub-sea-kelp-chlorella-grow-p/012.htm" target="_blank">Brightening Facial Scrub with Sea Kelp + Chlorella Growth Factor</a>, and while I wish I had any idea what the benefits of sea kelp are and what the heck chlorella growth factor even <i>is,</i> I LOVE this product. I've found that exfoliation is crucial to my skin care routine {some peeps don't need it, and some can't live without it; I am in the latter category}, and this scrub is the scrub of all scrubs. It banishes flakey, dry skin where it exists and stimulates quicker cell turnover where it's needed without making your face feel raw, red and irritated. AND it's paraben free, vegan friendly, gluten free, synthetic fragrance free, silicone free, phthalate free - In other words, it's free of the bad stuff!<br />
<br />
And that's all she wrote, folks - Or at least it's all I'm writing cause this has already been a lengthy description of what is usually just a 10 minute process morning and night! I can honestly say that this routine has been an absolute skin saver in the recent weeks. I felt like I was on the precipice of complete skin disaster, and between Sprout, One Love Organics, and Acure Organics my overly demanding and frequently riotous skin has been calmed and soothed, and I am eternally grateful!<br />
I hope that those of you out there in need of a skin care switch up this season found this helpful... but to those of you who have been using the same products for the last 10 years with no problems whatsoever and have completely radiant skin: Don't talk to me. JUST KIDDING, I LOVE YOU, envy you, but LOVE YOU!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681872528508085250.post-78578134411165940872012-09-18T06:43:00.000-07:002012-09-18T06:43:31.278-07:00Sprout, the savior. <div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">R</span>ecently I experienced some massive skin chaos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipsymZQvNCOxmcg-ZRc7PuSc56oWpgPsT9YW7fhWCXIXlK1W_MCacyOk6rcrgQwHJ0eiXWoDUJ1ThtOa45roz6tKTdRS17U7j3jnaL6rexVrN1NRB8jJvBZH98YWMKHpG3a3dLGx1oUd4/s1600/Bride+Of+Frankenstein+25.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipsymZQvNCOxmcg-ZRc7PuSc56oWpgPsT9YW7fhWCXIXlK1W_MCacyOk6rcrgQwHJ0eiXWoDUJ1ThtOa45roz6tKTdRS17U7j3jnaL6rexVrN1NRB8jJvBZH98YWMKHpG3a3dLGx1oUd4/s640/Bride+Of+Frankenstein+25.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I </span>had been trying out a new product for about a week - It was heavy on rosehip oil and it was the only product that was new to my regimen. I can't say for sure that this was the catalyst to the chaos so the product shall remain nameless, but I definitely have my suspicions. I woke up one morning, went about my normal skin care routine and after getting out of the shower I was greeted by cheeks that were on <i><b>fire</b></i> with the likes of an <i>angry, bumpy, red rash</i>. By the end of the day the rash had spread to my chin and forehead. I was at a loss. I popped an antihistamine and hoped for the best. </div>
<div>
The following day I tried to go about my normal routine, ignoring the now skin colored bumpy rash that remained, but again my skin became red, irritated and inflamed by anything and everything I attempted to put on it. I was a mess and pretty dang close to tears of absolute frustration.</div>
<div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
I had, in the recent weeks leading up to my skin disaster, read about <a href="http://sproutskincare.com/our-story" target="_blank"><i>Sprout Skincare</i></a> on one of my favorite blogs <a href="http://nomoredirtylooks.com/2012/08/product-reviews-sprout-skincare-yes-the-whole-line/" target="_blank">No More Dirty Looks</a>. It's a line that takes a truly natural and simple approach to skin care with a "less is more" theory at the core, and before my beastly breakout of dermatitis I had fully intended on taking Sprout on a "test drive". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was looking to minimize and simplify my routine while keeping with products that were entirely natural and fully effective, and for this reason Sprout Skincare was super appealing to me. The ingredients in each product are straight forward, gentle, natural and sensitive-skin friendly which is a HUGE bonus in my book. Not to mention you can count the number of ingredients in each product on one hand - <i>ONE HAND!</i> That's pretty impressive in my opinion, especially when we live in a world where ingredient lists typically consist of lengthy, tongue tie-worthy, seemingly unpronounceable words, generally indicating that the products in question are more than likely chalk full of crazy weird chemicals... but I digress. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sprout's simplicity and wholesome ingredients {which are also either certified organic, Fair Trade, or sourced from small family farms<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif;">} </span>were what first attracted my attention. However, I obviously still needed to consider taming the beast that my face had become. I purchased the cream, the toner, and the cleanser and then, call me crazy, I wrote an email to Adina, the creator of Sprout, and explained my predicament as well as my plans to dive into Sprout in hopes of soothing my angry skin. She wrote back in a flash and explained that my skin had gone haywire and needed some serious rest, sans ANY product whatsoever for at least 3 days. Thankfully this was over Labor Day weekend and I had three days to spare. </div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorUaEtUzrPZ03tq2uqNM5-2PHd-KAfbNmjTmPTR2TzK5-XmMtxLvKfThKe5GtRxhx-s124ti7u4L7iflTHGMQsYKo4hLb1cRBDNQsHd9IxNelR8mIHGrtDujGDDFABFZnhpyLN_8nvtU/s1600/cream3_1024x1024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorUaEtUzrPZ03tq2uqNM5-2PHd-KAfbNmjTmPTR2TzK5-XmMtxLvKfThKe5GtRxhx-s124ti7u4L7iflTHGMQsYKo4hLb1cRBDNQsHd9IxNelR8mIHGrtDujGDDFABFZnhpyLN_8nvtU/s320/cream3_1024x1024.jpg" width="259" /></a></div>
<div>
After rocking naked skin and washing my face with only water the anger and irritation subsided - Thank heavens! However, my skin did not return to the "normal" that it once was. It was dry, scaly, and had weird, visibly clogged pores everywhere that the rash had been, not to mention I was breaking out like mad! I began to use Sprout's cream {Ingredients: Wildcrafted unrefined shea butter, Extra-virgin coconut oil, Extra-virgin olive oil} and within just a couple of days my dry scaly skin had become moisturized and soft again, and feeling brave I added a little exfoliation to the situation and <i>voila -</i> clogged pores banished! BUT, my breakouts were still raging. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Survey says:</i> I am on week 2 of this regimen and - <i>HALLELUJAH</i>! My skin has been saved!!!! Sprout, along with the gentle guidance of it's wonderful, thoughtful and sensitive creator, Adina, have brought my skin back from the dark side. I cannot tell you the sweet relief I am experiencing, and how very much I adore Sprout's products. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've now explored and am using almost the entire Sprout Skincare line including the cleanser {Rosewater, Vegetable glycerin, Tea tree oil} as well as the make-up remover {Sweet almond oil, Extra-virgin olive oil, Jojoba oil}, both of which are wonderfully gentle. </div>

<div>
This week I'll run through my new Fall skin care routine, because lets face it, like the weather, our skin generally makes a gnarly shift right about the same time that the seasons do! </div>
<div>
{*Note: Sprout is pretty much the star of the show!}</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do you have any woeful skin tales? Any rescue remedies that have worked for you that you now will never live without? I'll tell you one thing, Sprout is truly my skin savior!!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">L</span>ast week I wrote about the return of the flannel, and why I'm particularly pumped about breaking those babies out of the closet again, but today I'm gonna attempt to class it up a notch. There's something about the Fall that inspires me to look more polished and a bit more put together, where as the Summer was all about keeping it casual and relaxed. And I don't know about you, but these cooler days feel like they're practically begging me to break the blazers out and re-introduce all things leather, and hey, the Dude abides... or the Dudette if you're not in to the whole brevity thing. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A</span>s the seasons shift and Fall begins to emerge there are a few things that I'm particularly pumped to break out of 'closet hibernation' - One of those things being my flannel shirts. That's right, I said shirtssss - As in plural. Flannel is a weaknesses of mine, and there's not much I can do about that. With just one touch my senses are calmed by it's soft, cozy wear-able texture. If I could line my walls in the stuff you'd most likely find me frequently stroking them, <i>Get Him to The Greek-</i>style {sans the "jeffrey", obvi}. Alas, I have several flannel shirts in my repertoire, and thanks to <a href="http://rstyle.me/h8m7szm23w" target="_blank">Urban Outfitters</a> I added a new one yesterday. So instead of going 100% 90's grunge with this look, I opted for a slightly more polished approach... and I stress the word "slightly". Either way, the outfit felt very apropos as we segue from 'Summer vacation' into 'back to school'. Not that I'm going back to school, but you know what I mean. September days will always be reminiscent of back to school. Tell me I'm not alone on this one... Bueller? ... Bueller? ...</div>

I bit into this chewy, moist, square of chocolate, oatmeal and caramel and was instantly in heaven. I promptly found myself losing all self control and reaching for another, and then another, and then another! In my defense the maker cut them into the tiniest squares EVER <i>{at least that's what I've been telling myself}</i>. I had never heard of a Caramelita, so the first opportunity I got I googled the recipe and once I saw that it was relatively simple and straight forward I decided to brave an attempt. So here we go - Keep in mind, my baking skills are spotty at best:<br />
<br />
I first started by making some <i>homemade caramel</i>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_nK45WnHIghJ7SYJHaeGku3GkHaU8u1V5X_DZLd4gg-osaEiAwKIk0lkKgyE7r6KeSNDgM46kXmKe7unlL63yTIWONV4cOcYB10RKJh0Gpy85ULW9YvtsA_08TyNK7LRttsMv6JmIEY/s1600/caramel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_nK45WnHIghJ7SYJHaeGku3GkHaU8u1V5X_DZLd4gg-osaEiAwKIk0lkKgyE7r6KeSNDgM46kXmKe7unlL63yTIWONV4cOcYB10RKJh0Gpy85ULW9YvtsA_08TyNK7LRttsMv6JmIEY/s640/caramel.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Ingredients</span></u></i></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1 CUP of sugar<br />6 TBSP butter<br />1/2 CUP heavy whipping cream</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">If you've never made caramel before, it's a super speedy process, so. . .</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1. Gather and measure out all of your ingredients and have them lined up and ready to roll.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">2. Heat sugar on moderately high heat in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart or 3-quart saucepan. As the sugar begins to melt, stir vigorously with a whisk or wooden spoon. As soon as the sugar comes to a boil, stop stirring. You can swirl the pan a bit if you want, from this point on.<br /><br />3. As soon as all of the sugar crystals have melted, immediately add the butter to the pan. Whisk until the butter has melted.</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">4. Once the butter has melted, take the pan off the heat. Count to three, then slowly add the cream to the pan and continue to whisk to incorporate. <i>{Note: When you add the butter and the cream, the mixture will begin to bubble up considerably and quickly. This is why you should definitely use a pan that is at least 2-quarts.}</i></span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">5. Whisk until the caramel sauce is smooth. Let cool in the pan for a couple minutes, then pour into a glass mason jar and let sit to cool. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<u>Survey says:</u> <b>A crowd pleaser for sure! </b>While mine were a much thicker than the originals, they were <i>just</i> as delicious. If I could do it over again I think I would use an extra 1/2 cup of caramel. I also intentionally let them stay in the oven for an extra 5 minutes and that resulted in a much crunchier bar, but I'm more of a chewy fan so I probably wouldn't do that again. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A</span>lthough I believe the fashion faux pas of yesteryear are dated and no longer truly apply to the fashion world of today, wearing white pantalones after Labor Day will always give me this little niggly feeling. Silly, I know. Who made up this rule anyhow?! Regardless, I'd like to take this opportunity, as it is the final week of August, to rock my crisp whites in all their glory over the next few days! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I</span>f you haven't already read the book and/or seen the film, <i>The Help</i>, I highly recommend both in a major way. This at home experiment was inspired by the character Minny, from <i>The Help</i>, </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
and her infamous chocolate pie (sans the "terrible awful", of course). </div>

I had never tried my hand at a pie before, not that this bears the same level of difficulty as say the likes of a fruit pie, but nevertheless when it comes to <i>any</i> kind of baking my skills are a mixed bag regardless the simplicity of the recipe. I decided right off the bat not to make the pie crust from scratch {the margin of error felt too great!}, so I opted for a pre-formed, frozen pie crust to fill with this chocolatey, fudgy, custard-like filling.</div>

<u><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">{Recipe}</span></i></u><br />
<u><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i></u>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1 packaged pie dough crust, such as Pillsbury, or a frozen pie crust pre-formed in the pan</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1 1/2 cups sugar</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">2 large eggs, beaten</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">3/4 cup evaporated milk</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract {<i>I used pure vanilla powder instead}</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1/4 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Whipped cream, for serving</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Preheat the oven to 350°. Ease the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Prick the crust lightly with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes or until pie crust is set, but not brown.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i>{If you choose to use a pre-formed frozen pie crust there's no need to pre-bake before filling.}</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">In a bowl, whisk {or use an electric mixer} to combine the sugar with the cocoa powder, butter, eggs <i>{make sure you've beaten the eggs, it does actually seem to make a difference}</i>, evaporated milk, vanilla and salt until mixture is smooth.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake for about 45 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges but a little jiggly in the center. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Transfer the pie to a rack and let cool completely before cutting into wedges. Serve with whipped cream.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*If you want to make this pie ahead, you can easily refrigerate it overnight until serving time!</span><br />

Survey says: Terrible awful, indeed!!!! This pie is so dang good that I found myself desperately wanting to slay it piece by piece, entirely on my own and before anyone else had a chance to taste it. In fact, I recommend making two pies... you know, just in case you get carried away with the nibbling!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681872528508085250.post-81192856226327004142012-08-27T05:53:00.001-07:002012-08-27T05:53:15.644-07:00Manicure Monday: Pop Art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I</span>'ve always loved the look of Lichtenstein art. Reminiscent of classic comic strips, where pictures were composed of hundreds of tiny dots, this pop art style firmly holds its own unique beauty, and having seen a number of comic book inspired prints gone fashion for this upcoming Fall, it only felt appropriate to go Lichtenstein with my mani!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I</span> fell in love with this textured, oversized, completely cozy sweater at ABC Home & Carpet {for those of you who aren't familiar with this store in NYC, it is <i>incredible,</i> and despite the name the store boasts much, much more than just furniture and carpet!}. I wasn't really in the market for anything at the time, but was browsing the floor, killing some time when this dynamic prize caught my eye. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
First came the touch test - Deliciously soft. Next, a closer look at the design - The knit patchwork makes it intriguingly different; And finally, the fit - I opted for a large to maximize comfort. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Then I noticed the price... $25. SAY WHAT?! Hellooooo Sale!! </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Well, obviously we were meant to be, and honestly I can already tell this is going to be an Autumn favorite of mine, as the cooler air moves in and the chunky knits come out! </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Can you even believe that September is just around the corner?!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">H</span>ave you seen the abundance of absolutely rad denim that Rag & Bone has lined up for Fall?! I'll be the first to admit that I have a denim problem. My denim drawer is overflowing, and I mean literally various pant legs are currently spewing out of it. I am in no way in need of another pair, but of course that's the sensible side of me speaking, or shall I say writing. There are easily 4 or 5 Rag & Bone pairs that I'd love and I mean loooouuuvvrre to indulge in, but will I? Well, you can be certain to find this pair of Raja Midnight's in my repertoire very soon! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Above is how I would rock them... Keeping it dark with that incredible black leather jacket and a pair of black Rag & Bone Harrow boots {because the subtle detail makes them the perfect everyday casual ankle boot}, and adding a few seriously cool, utilitarian looking A.L.C. pieces, one of Rag & Bone's Beach Tees {because they feel simply divine and I love the added texture}, some ivory frames and you are good to go! Ah, man. Self control just went right out the window. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681872528508085250.post-15996251948323134312012-08-08T06:24:00.000-07:002012-08-08T06:24:48.046-07:00Butterfly Days<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
