Confession

dress:Calvin Klein, shoes:Guess, belt:Old Navy

So I have a confession to make - I lost my camera. 

Yes, I know, it is the single most important piece of equipment for a fashion blogger, well, besides the computer itself. I cannot find it and that's just not cool. I have been switching purses a lot and putting the camera from one into another every time. 

This time, it's not in any of my bags or in the car, or anywhere else.

Therefore this outfit is from last year taken by my hubby with his phone camera. I love the outfit and I LOVE this black dress, which by the way, I wore today with different accessories. But you will never know because, you guessed it right, I could not find the camera.  

So if you see it, let me know OK? Thanks

The Best Grilled Cheese Panini

I'm already munching on it. Quick take a pic so I can have my food.

I had a dream. One of many food dreams. I had a dream that I was eating the best grilled cheese sandwich in the world (I guess that's what pregnancy does to me). So I started researching how to make the best grilled cheese sandwich because let's face it - it's all in the cheese. 

After few blogs, Foodnetwork shows and cooking books I found my cheese. Muenster cheese. 

I can't pronounce it correct because it sounds like monster.

OH MY GOODNESS! This cheese is like a piece of heaven on Earth. 

I give you my very own take on the whole grilled cheese thing. And let me tell you, it's better not have anyone around when you are eating it. You wouldn't want to share.

At least don't have any hungry pregnant women around you - they do not share their food. 

Take it from me. Da pregnant one.

Ingredients:

2 slices of deli cut Muenster Cheese

2 pieces of Wheat Bread

1 medium yellow tomato

3 thin slices of Canadian Bacon

butter

Preparation: 

Cut tomato into very thin slices and preheat the panini maker. Non stick skillet will suffice if you don't have panini maker.

Put slices of cheese on both bread pieces and pile on tomatoes and Canadian bacon in the middle. 

Lightly grease the cooking surface with butter and set it on medium heat. 

Make sure the cheese is nicely melted and hot all the way through. 

I know you are hungry but give it some time and don't rush the perfection. 

Check on the panini or turn it over, if you are using skillet.

I sliced up more tomatoes for the side because they are from my aunt's garden and 

ohhhh so deliciously sweet.

Ta-Da! 

Go ahead enjoy it. I won't look.

{Headband}

As I said earlier, I will try to keep up with DIY projects and post every other Friday. So I was excited to get started and kind of went all the way on this one. It cost me more then usual because I mostly buy very cheap stuff. This time I wanted to make a present and bought some of the nicer accessories. You can make this any color and mix and match, but I wanted something a little sophisticated and grown-up.

 Here is it!

You will need:

Black Chiffon - 1rd x 1/2 yd

Felt

Hot Glue Gun

Scissors 

Black Headband

Jewelry Accessory

Start out buy cutting the same size circles out chiffon. Let me tell you - chiffon is pain in the neck to work with, so stack the pieces and cut about 3-4 at a time. You will need 8-10 circles.

Prepare your headband and the jewelry button.

Fold is circle in half by placing a very small amount of glue and then again. You will get folded quarters, but for every fold to stay in place you need to hot glue them.

Start centering the pieces around the middle of the circle felt you cut out. 

Glue the quartered circles unto felt by placing four in each row.

Repeat until you reach the desired amount of layers. I made two layers

Cut the edges of the chiffon very carefully making a nice circle, then burn the edges just a little. Be careful not to burn wholes into the chiffon.

Glue the middle press tight on the middle for about 30 seconds. Then hot glue the felt unto headband and if you have black felt, you are done. I didn't want the beige felt to show, so I covered it with another piece of chiffon. You very own, custom made head piece is done! 

Enjoy!

I think every girl has a pair of shoes that just make her heart jump, or a dress that just hugs those curves in every right place. Well, I love this pair because first of all, they have an awesome pinky-peach color. Second, they are so soft and comfortable that I want to wear them all the time. The only thing that I hate, is that they are suede and get dirty ohhhhh so fast! So lesson of the day? Don't wear them when it's raining or you see a humongous black cloud on a horizon. Yeah, that didn't happen but it made for a perfect outfit.
I think. Don't you?

P.S. I know I had a lot of skirt outfits lately but let's save pants for cold winter. 

Thanks for reading!

Nautical

top: IZOD, skirt, scarf: vintage, shoes: Bandolino, bag: Kate Spade NY

Back to the regular scheduled programming. 

I love the blue and white together - it feels and looks like the sky. Only I hate when you put a little red into the mix, and bam you look like the 4th of July. So instead I call it nautical, inspired by Rachel and her outfit. Go ahead take a look. Ok, so my skirt does not cost over one hundred dollars, it actually cost only $3 at the local thrift store. And my shoes don't have red soles, and my top isn't from J.Crew but, this outfit makes me feel very upscale.

 A girl can dream she has a boat right? 

To be completely honest, this entire outfit is thrifted (except the bag and shoes) which makes me feel even better. If a girl can score a great outfit for under $10, I think even a boat can't beat that. 

Have a great day and thanks for reading!
