Hey guys! Is it fall in your neck of the woods, yet? It is still HOT here, so I'm *still* wearing my white jeans and sandals. Totally allowed after Labor Day if it's 90 degrees, right?
2. Fried Okra Chunks! CHUNKS!!! I only want to eat things in chunks from now on.
3. On the importance of a print button. (This is one of the funniest blog posts of all time.)
4. This dress. In houndstooth...or dots...or purple, but I think it might be too short. Do you hesitate to order clothes online like I do? I'm a clothes-ordering-chicken.
5. I'm on an avocado kick these days. As in EVERY day for lunch, I mash up an avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper and spread it on toasted sourdough. How do YOU eat it? I may need some variety.
6. Love this. (Just want it to be 75% off.)
7. Bobbi Brown. I'm usually a "drug store" makeup buyer. Last spring, Mr. E gifted me a Nordstrom gift card, so I had my makeup done at Bobbi Brown. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I walked away with a gift card balance of $0...and very happy. Six months later, my eyeshadows and eyeliner are still more than half full. So, I went back. This time for foundation, concealer, powder...and of course, lipstick. Always lipstick. I think the gel eyeliner is my favorite product, but I love it all.
What have you been loving lately? Specifically, what makeup do you love?
Welcome to Bake at 350! I'm Bridget and I like all things sweet...especially cookie decorating. I hope you'll find some inspiration here. So, grab a chair (and a cookie) and let's get baking! [
Hmmmm, since you are sharing indulgent desires, I'll tell you my secret. I just ordered an Epiphanie bag. Shhh, it's our secret. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is adorable. I recently bought a dress that I loved even though I knew it was too short... because adding leggings is always a great option!
ReplyDeleteI love the Philoposhy products, especially Purity whch cleans my skin so well and melts the make up right off!
ReplyDeleteSorry! My first comment to my favorite blog and I misspelled Philospohy!!
ReplyDeletelol you did it again. tricky word, quick fingers. =0)
Deletenot even gonna try. We knew what you meant. I actually had to go back up to your first post to see what ya meant. Got to love it when our eyes self correct while you are reading.
Dress is adorable. Definitely in black/white houndstooth... Roll Tide Roll.
ReplyDeletelovely post cookies look wonderful
ReplyDeleteLove that Bobbi Brown gel liner. I bought waaay too much BB makeup 2 years ago before my 25th high school reunion. Regarding avocado, I heat up a flour tortilla in a dry, hot pan, flipping occasionally so it's crispy then I top it with mashed avocado and sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Good and good for ya!
ReplyDeleteYou realize they give measurements of the dress. Check their return policy!
ReplyDeleteI split my avocado and scoop it out with ritz crackers then straight in to my mouth! yum!
ReplyDeleteI promise that that dress is 100% worth it and it isn't too short (says the girl who is 5'4"). I bought it in black a few weeks ago, and it's perfect for every occasion. And I bought it in shirt form too in black and white stripes. (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/blouses/coach-tour-top-in-stripes) They are absolutely perfect. Also Modcloth has a great return policy. Go for it!
ReplyDeletespeaking of birthdays and makeup...if you live near an ulta store you can get a free eyebrow waxing on your birthday!!! =0)
ReplyDeleteI post what I eat everyday on my blog, I eat avocado a lot, so I'm sure you would find something you like.
ReplyDelete#2 love this blog post- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh! And there is a coupon right now. NEWHUE25 will get you 25% off the Coach Tour Dress....
ReplyDeleteCould there be any more reasons to buy?
I am loving the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in Twilight Night. Looks great with my hazel eyes and doesn't smudge. Even after running and sweating!
ReplyDeleteI like avocado (CHUNKS:) mixed into cottage cheese with chopped spinach and green onions.
ReplyDeleteI decided to give Stilla's balancing primer a try and I love it! it evens out your skin tone and my make-up stayed just as fresh as when I put it on all day!
ReplyDeleteThe Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner is the bomb!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOOOOVE Bobbi Brown makeup! I started transitioning to their products 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteFirst time commenter, long time reader:)
ReplyDeleteIf you like egg salad, try egg salad with avocado mashed in, HEAVENLY!
I'm also still rockin' white and sandals, it was over 100 here today and predicted to be near 110 tomorrow...
I am currently loving Benefit's Hello Oxygen foundation.
ReplyDeleteAnd I need this dress! Especially in houndstooth or red for Bama games and events.
I doubt if you'll read this, but I love the color of that lipstick and would love to know what color or # it is. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's called Nude Rose. :)
DeleteI have one suggestion regarding the avocado. -Guacamole-

ReplyDeleteI do so love the mixer! And your blog is super awesome.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so cute! I want that all. I want to try that lipstick!
ReplyDeleteI love most everything on modcloth! Everything is so cute but I'm scared to buy dresses online. I love Mac makeup, started when I got married, 12 years ago, switch sometimes but always go back to their studio fix foundation. And big thank you for sending me to read that Peabody blog post- so funny!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so cute. There is a very similar one over on eshakti.com and you can customize the length if you think this one might be too short. I haven't ordered yet but I've been eyeing it:)
ReplyDeleteWow! The book looks great! I would love to win the mixer! :)
ReplyDeleteAvocado alternative, AKA my fave salad in world...
ReplyDeleteMixed salad greens of preference
1/2 ruby red grapefruit
1 whole VERY ripe avocado
sliced white mushrooms
protein of choice - chicken, shrimp, or lobster are fab in here
your favorite balsamic vinaigrette
Kikoman ponzu sauce
Slice avocado in chunks, add to mixed greens. It should be ripe enough, that it will become part of the dressing. Toss in mushrooms and protein. Squeeze your 1/2 of ruby grapefruit over top. Add a tablespoon of balsamic, tablespoon of ponzu, and Voila! Yummmm avocado salad!
Congratulations on your new book, it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI would like to win a copy.
