Shop-a-thon

Well it wasn't shop until you drop, but it was own version...shop until your finger swells!
I didn't really stop shopping, but just made a pit-stop by the water fountain so that I could pop some Advil! (note:  my fingers are pretty fat anyway, but you can tell that pinkie is swollen because the wrinkles are disappearing!)

I didn't really plan to shop yesterday, but one thing led to another, and I was on a full blown shop-a-thon.  It all started in court yesterday morning.  I noticed that one of my favorite pairs of shoes, my navy ones, had suffered a terrible blow.  I must have gotten the heel stuck on something because the leather was completely torn off.  I was really sad, both because I love these shoes, and because finding a pair of navy shoes, let alone a fashionable pair of navy shoes in a size 10 is a challenge close to locating the Holy Grail.

I decided to pop up to Dillards and see what I could find.  Would you believe that I located a cute pair, in size 10, and on sale?  Yep, I did!  They were marked down to $49 from $80 and then I got another 30% off, so they were $34.99.  See they're pretty cute...
Then I wondered over by the lingerie and noticed that they had round tables set up with bins of bras.  Now, I think I've mentioned before, but I have one brand and one style of bra that I wear.  I've tried unsuccessfully to find others, but now I don't even try.  I've found THE one, and I'm done looking.  Problem is that the darn thing costs $76...each!  I normally stock up on the Nordstrom sale every summer when they are on sale for $60.  Anyway, I noticed that they had my bra in these bins.  I grabbed up two and it turns out one was $28 and one was...get ready for it...$10.  And the $10 one was white, nothing funky or weird. 

At that point, I decided to hit up a several more Dillards in a quest for more of the $10 ones.  Long story short, I ended up getting 4 of the $10 ones and decided to return the $28 (because the stores had tons of those and I hope to get them marked down more later).  $300+ in bras for $40!

Not on sale, I got an adorable pair of Texas Tech yoga pants...

After I read this James and I headed to Dillard's in Little Rock. Best shopping ever! For him not me.

I need to go shopping with you. You always find the best deals!

Why is it so hard to find navy shoes? I've been looking for a pair for a couple of years. Yours are way cute. I may have to make my way to Dillard's.

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
