Blue Shoes

I have been in a search for new blue shoes for 2 years. I don't know if you have looked for cute blue shoes in a while, but let me tell you, it really is a treasure hunt. Let me take a step back and say that while blue shoes are few and far between, most of the ones that I did find are not ones that I find "worthy" of wearing.

I bought a new navy suit a month and a half ago and another jacket that I wear with blue pants, and HAD to get my hands on some new blue shoes so that I can start wearing them. I have looked for a while, but decided today that I was making a trip to the mall and wasn't leaving until I had some blue shoes in hand. I was a little worried because you know how it always goes...when you are looking for it, you never find it.

I made a stop in the Bandolino shoe store and found a pair that were "okay". I wasn't in love with them, but they would work. They were on sale and a good enough price to pay since they weren't just awesome. I put them on hold while I went to Dillards to look. A poor salesguy came up and said "Can I help you?". To which I replied, "I need blue pumps, size 10, and don't bring me something that looks like a grandmother would wear them." Bless his heart. He did a great job. I ended up with a fabulous pair and they were 40% off too!

Here is the shoe find of the day

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
