If Julia Says So...




Who doesn't love food?
 
I love so many different types and I love to try new things.
Some are my regular-no-fail-go-to's (Mexican, Italian, Latin) while others strike my fancy at the most random moments if at all (Chinese, BBQ).
 
Here are some shots of the most recent treats!
 
 
(cinnamon rolls)
 
 
(homemade pumpkin bread - get my recipe here)
 
 
(homemade sliders)
 
 
(The Cheesecake Factory's Hot Caramel Apple Cider)
 
 
(Italian panini - last night's dinner & today's leftover lunch)

Luxe for Less - Valentino Rockstud


 
Today's "Luxe for Less" post is dedicated to the Valentino Rockstud Slingback T.100
 
 
 
 
The ladylike kitten heels combined with tough metallic pyramid studs is the latest brought to us by Valentino. The combination of nude and black leather is a classic color combo with a bit of an edge perfect for those ladies who like to mix it up. Grit & Glamour has been rocking her red pair all over Instagram (follow her at @gritandglamour). You can rock them too in any color combo you choose for just $895.
 
 
I prefer the 'nicer' price point offered by Shoedazzle's "Erin".
 
 
 
 
 
Erin is the Rockstud's cheap little sister at just $39.95 - but when I saw it, I instantly knew where the inspiration came from. It's missing a few pyramid studs on the top strap, but aside from that you have a pretty awesome deal on a luxury style!
 
 
 
So what's your pick?

Dress-y Stripes


Every once in awhile, I like to put a dress on. It's not usually my go-to uniform (I tend to feel more comfortable in pants), but I don't think there is anything more feminine than a dress. I snagged this dress from J.Crew a few weeks ago (and on sale!) and was pretty excited to throw it on this weekend. Ryan was impressed - he kept on complimenting the outfit throughout the night! Maybe I should wear dresses more often...






Dress: J.Crew (on sale!)
Cardigan: Target

Hope you had a happy weekend!

My Girly Weekend


This past weekend was one of the girliest weekends I have had in awhile. Granted, I am usually found doing something girly, but this weekend was non-stop girl stuff.
And I enjoyed it thoroughly!


Most Friday nights for me are nights in. I don't usually make plans for Friday nights because at the end of the work week, all I want to do is veg out at home and RELAX. So I swung by Target to grab some things & picked up Essie's "Ole Caliente" for my at-home mani/pedi.




Saturday morning/afternoon brought about laundry & other house stuff before GIRLS NIGHT OUT! A few of my girlfriends & I were just meeting up for dinner & dessert but I swear I was putting more energy into getting ready for it than I do for a night out with my hubby! ;) Just kidding....I put in effort for him too! But I think it's because when you are married (& all of your friends are married), your schedules aren't as free...so it takes quite the effort to plan a GNO. In any case, I was really excited for it.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you caught a sneak peek of this outfit...


Dress: Forever 21
Leopard Belt: Target



Rhinestone Bracelet: J. Crew
Cuff: Jewelmint "Gehry"
Watch: Guess (first seen here)
 Earrings: (I don't remember!)
Ring: Gift from Husband



Wedges: Steve Madden "Riddgge"



Dinner at Bonefish Grill with Raisa & Cheryl



Sunday didn't start out so hot - I woke up with a killer headache so I stayed in bed for awhile until I felt better. I had breakfast & relaxed because it was storming outside. The other day I shared a picture on Instagram that was so quintessential South Florida - it was sunny as all heck but it was raining at the same time. Typical. Anyways, I had a baby shower for a friend later on in the afternoon so while I was feeling the urge to stay in my pj's, I got it together.


Dress: J. Crew 'Maritime Anchor' (now on sale!)
Sandals: Sam Edelman



Watch: Guess
Necklace: J. Crew via eBay
Cuff: Jewelmint "Gehry"
Chain Bracelet: Spike the Punch
Rings: Jewelmint "Forget Me Not" Trio



My weekend ended with Sarah Jessica Parker...in the form of watching her movie, "I Don't Know How She Does It"...finally! This movie has been out forever!


It was cute. Then again, my opinion may be biased because I just love me some SJP!




Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
What did you do?
