Tis the season

Tis the season to go shopping, fa la la la la la la la...

How are y'all coming on your Christmas shopping?  I am done!  Totally dunzo!  And mostly everything is all wrapped up.  Now, I am super behind on the decorating, but that's another post for another day.

If you still have some shopping to do, you should check out Rue La La. 
If you aren't familiar with Rue, it is a flash sale (2 days for each vendor typically) with really great products and great prices too.  Right now they have Tom Ford, Judith Ripka, Brooks Brothers, Waterford Linens, Destination Resorts-Snowmass & Aspen, Park Hyatt Chicago, Little Rue (kids vendors), Honora, Tommy Hilfiger Home, etc. 
It's a membership only thing, but I'm a member so I can invite you.  Another great aspect is that they have free shipping for most of the month-so great prices, plus no tax, plus free shipping means a little more cash left in your wallet at the end of the season!

Another great thing is that I just got notified that if you sign up with my invitation, you get a $10 credit!  So, if you aren't already a member, I will gladly send you an invite.

You can either give me your e-mail address in your comments, or send me an e-mail (located over on the right under "About me" and I will send you the invite.

Also, I have received a discount code for Vera Bradley (good Saturday and Sunday).  Enter FFVB20 at Checkout online and you receive 20% off (excludes sale and rolling luggage).  If you want to shop in a store, you can shoot me an e-mail or leave your contact info in comments and I will send you the e-mail so you can print out the coupon.
This isn't a paid advert, I just LOVE to pass along a deal!  Happy Shopping.

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 1ingredients... 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 because I use my yogurt cup as a meas…

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 "A&quo…

Pumpkins, Gourds & Flowers, oh my!

Yesterday, I went to the Dallas Arboretum.  Lisa, Jennifer, and I went as my birthday outing.  We got a late start due to some court delays, so we stopped for lunch first.  I needed some make-up too, so we went to Neimans.  We ogled some purses, had lunch, I got some make-up and then we headed out to the arboretum (in the rain).

It was raining pretty good on the way over, but luckily, we only needed umbrellas for a few minutes.  Thankfully the sun never came out, because it was so humid, I'm pretty sure we would have melted. 




First, we made our way toward the Pumpkin Village...

I love how they made garland out of the mini-pumpkins...






These rose bushes were just stunning!  The roses on each bush varied in color from a coral, to a blush, to a purple hue...
It was Fall at the arboretum, and pumpkins, gourds, and mums are a large part of the visit.  However, they also have a Chihuly art exhibition going on.  I took so many pictures, I HAVE to make that it's whole separate post.  …
