Saturday Shopathon

Friday night, my friend Abby came to visit. She drove up from her home in South Texas for a hair appointment and to come visit me and shop. She got here kind of late on Friday, so we had dinner and then stayed up way too late chit chatting.

Saturday was really a shopathon! We shopped until we were ready to drop. Abby got a make-up makeover at Neimans (I'm counting on her 5 1/2 year old to make sure she actually wears her new make-up!). Then we did some shopping at a new shopping center in Allen as well as the outlets in Allen.

I didn't buy much, but I did finally get a new wallet. My old wallet was a very cute Juicy Couture wallet, but it was too small and things were always either falling out or so jammed in that I couldn't get to them (I lost two credit cards because of these troubles!). After the credit card loss in March, I decided to get a new wallet. I went to Coach outlet and only found one that I really liked and it was of course, just crazy expensive. I found out what day the Coach store does mark-downs and have stopped by or called every single week. The cheapest that it has come down to was $149. I almost bought it then, but thought I would wait and hope for cheaper.
Yesterday, when Abby and I went in to Coach, we found it was super marked down and then we used a 20% off coupon that Abby had, so I got it for $55! Abby bought one too.

Isn't it cute?!?!
I'm super excited to finally have it and for such a deal too!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
