I need your help!!

Whoa, two blogs in one day. Watch out.

Really though, I need your help. I have an engagement party to go to at the end of the month, and I don't know what to wear.

Early fall can be weird because it might not be coldish, but it might be kind of chilly. Or it could just be stupid hot.

Also, it is a cocktail attire, so there's that too.

Anyway, here are some ideas. Please tell me what you think.

3 - Cityscapes Dress

2 - Lucy Love Dress


1 - a bit simpler.


Please tell me your thoughts in the comments, and feel free to post links to something else you think I should wear.

Mixing it up in the kitchen!

Maybe you're like me and always struggle to figure out what in the world you're going to cook. Or maybe not? Still, after hearing multiple friends of mine complain about repeating the same dishes or not knowing what to cook, I came up with a solution.

I decided that we can each help enhance each others' kitchen experience. So, we started a monthly recipe exchange. The only real rule is that you have to email the group one recipe a month. We encourage the recipes to be easy and healthy because many of us are beginners or looking to watch our waists. It doesn't matter if it is a side, entree, dessert, whatever, we can use it all!

We're about six recipes into August, and I can't wait for the rest! (And I'm sure there are some that are waiting with bated breath for my submission.)

Cheers to trying new dishes and helping out your friends!
