It feels like it's been ages since I last wore this skirt, so what better way to bring it back than pairing it with a cozy button up and this fabulous print bag.

And it would also seem that it's Halloween, I may or may not be rocking some spots this evening while trick or tricking with the kids...stay tuned. Xo

It's starting to lean toward the holiday season which means it's time to start baking rich, indulgent, guilt inducing treats. Right? So when I found out that "Turtle Bars" and Pecan Pie were one of the easiest recipes out there, I could not resist. I mean who can resist, carmel, chocolate and pecans all rolled into one buttery crust? I didn't think so, and that's why they lasted about 48 hours in our house...

Butter Pecan Turtle Bars

Crust -

2 Cups All Purpose Flour

3/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed

1/2 Cup Butter, Softened

1 1/2 Cups Pecan Halves

"Filling"-

1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed

2/3 Cup Butter

1 1/2 Cups Milk Chocolate Chips

1. Combine flour, 3/4 C Brown Sugar and 1/2 Cup butter, mix until crumbly. 

2. Pat mixture firmly onto bottom of un-greased 9x13 baking pan.

3. Sprinkle pecan halves over unbaked crust. Set aside

6. Remove from oven, immediately sprinkling chocolate chips over pecan caramel mixture. 

It's the weekend before Halloween, which means the parties have begun but you haven't had time to put a costume together between your busy work week and everything else, don't fret, just go to your closet and I guarantee you'll find tonight's costume!

I've been using StriVectin products since July now, and it's been an eye opening experience that has made it's way into my daily routine, even taking the place of my moisturizer. 

StriVectin's SD Intensive Concentrate for Stretch Marks and Wrinkles has become my favorite cream, at first when I received it I intended to use it for some of the stretch marks I acquired during my last pregnancy but when I started using it I began substituting it for my moisturizer and I haven't gone back since. Within the first couple of weeks I noticed a lot of the fine lines that I'd acquired in my early 20's were starting to diminish and later noticed that a lot of the redness on my face was disappearing more and more by the day.

As far as the stretch marks go they're barely visible and still have about 2 oz of cream left. The cream itself runs for about $135 (varying with retailers) for 5 oz, which is about on target with other wrinkle creams like ROC and Olay that are $30 for 1oz. I also tried the SD Eye Concentrate ($59 1oz) but after a week or so I started getting a little irritation under my eyes, which is normal for me because I have extremely sensitive skin, but it's funny how I wasn't even effected by the other cream. So far it's been 4 months, and I've been sold on StriVectin and have no plans on switching back...

It's Friday and what better way to celebrate the upcoming weekend than with a ruffled scarf, maxi dress and a sock bun (tutorial here)? Perfect for the Farmer's Market, which I've been frequenting lately ;).

Lately it's been a glitterevolution in the blogger world, where we're DIYing all things glitter infused and what better way to make something old shine than with a touch of glitter, or in my case, a handful or two. It's a great update for well under $10, $4 for the glue and $1 for the glitter!

It's got me thinking I might need to add my midas touch to all my button downs, particularly my new finds from old navy, here and here. 

Here's What You Need...

 Mix 2 Parts Glitter with 1 Part Glue in a bowl

 Put paper or cardboard between the shirt, depending on how 'heavy' the shirt is so the glue doesn't seep through. 

 Paint on the glitter glue in thick coats to save from having to go back over and over, adding more glitter to the glue can help from doing tons of coats.

 Let dry....before adding another coat.

and let dry...

 Voila!
