While today is officially the first day of fall according to the calendar, the weather is certainly not cooperating where I live. It is still rather hot, but I’m dying to wear all my Fall/Winter clothes! 🙁 Here’s a few cute outfits I’ve worn lately that are a little Fall inspired, but not too much …
Biscotti!
As an Italian girl who loves to bake, it was inevitable that I make biscotti eventually. A few weeks ago, I tried out two biscotti recipes, Chocolate and Orange Almond. The recipes can be found here and here. The Orange Almond ones turned out really great, they were flavorful and crunchy…great with coffee/tea (I prefer …
Goodbye Summer: My Favorite Summer Outfits of 2010
It’s September 1st and I’m officially over summer: summer weather, summer clothes, all of it!

My new favorite summer dessert is the lemon bar. They’re sweet, a little tart, and very refreshing when they’re cool. I have never tasted one until recently when I made these a couple weeks ago. One of my favorite bloggers, Cupcakes and Cashmere, posted about them and I knew they looked amazing and I …
Summer Accessories Haul!
So far this summer I saved up for and bought way too many new accessories. Most of them are from Forever 21, which has some of the most adorable and cheap costume jewelry and hair accessories in my opinion. I also got a few things from some other places, as listed below. I think …
Daria…lalalalala!
I recently rediscovered an old favorite TV show, titled Daria, which used to air on MTV when I was younger. I found out that the entire series including the two TV movies were out on DVD! Yay! Of course I had to get it and watch all of it. I loved it just as …
My Accessories and Makeup Collection!
So, this is my first blog post and I thought it would be fun to share my accessory and makeup collection with whomever out there wants to see it. I have been collecting these items for years and I am not trying to brag (just in case anyone thought so). I really love looking …
