Style Icon of the Month: November Edition

Back by popular demand is My Style Icon of The Month

inspired by my friends.  The weather is

growing a bit cooler and Fall like, which means sweater

weather and Fall colors are alive and well! This month's style icon is my dear friend Deana,

who her style is not only inspiring but also

commendable.  She was dressed in all black, but

the way she styled her outfit was so unique and

eye catching.  I was in love with her shoes too,

she told me they were very comfortable and 

Vegan Leather which matches the same

quality as actual leather.  I am very proud

to introduce to you this beautiful

friend as my SIOTM, and

stay tuned for next month since there are

plenty more chic friends to feature.

Sincerely,

A Smoothie Recipe That Would Make Toucan Sam Proud

As much as I enjoy and possess a deep infinite

passion for cake, I must admit that my other

favorite desert would have to be fruits especially
in a smoothie. After much experimenting, I 
finally found a recipe that suites my personal
 taste quite well and would love to share it
 with you. If you are a lover of fruit loops 
like myself, then this one is for you!

The Ingredients:

1. About 1 cup of Strawberries 

2. Four Apricots

3. One banana cut

4. Ciao Bella Sorbetto Blueberry Passion Fruit

5. Two Kiwis

6. La Croix Peach-Pear Sparkling Water

Strawberry season is upon us, and it is the main base for
my favorite smoothie.

I add bananas not just for the taste but for the protein and
energy so I can have this smoothie as a desert or with my
breakfast, this is the second main base for this drink.
1 whole banana will suffice.

Apricots are also in season and they are delightful in a
smoothie because of how light and sweet they are.
Kiwis also adds a fun and delightful taste to this
particular drink.

I like to add La Croix's Peach-Pear Sparkling Water
because it give the smoothie a lively fizz kick. Using
one whole can is perfect for this.

Last but never least my beloved sorbet! It blends perfectly
well with the other fruits and I usually do about 2 or 3 scoops.
I personally prefer sorbets over ice cream and yogurt in a
smoothie because of the texture.  I tend to lean
more towards tropical flavors when it comes to sorbets
so passion fruit is perfect.  

Blend fully well, make sure all the pulp
and everything else is blended together.
At the very end I squeeze a hint of lime and
mix it again.

It's a simple recipe but there it is, once again
remember to have fun and make it all your own!

Sincerely,

The Closet App That Changed My Life

There comes a point in someone's life when they realize things need to change and organized for the better, and that point happened in my life! I looked into my closet and there were moments where things will become lost in the abyss of chaos no matter how organized I thought my closet was. I came across an app called "StyleBook" that ended that "I have nothing to wear" mode because of that never ending chaos. 

        Now I can mix and match, and even plan my vacation outfits all on one app, and I am so thankful for the creation of this. Sometimes, fashion ruts happen hey it's normal! Instead of the habit I use to have (which was buy a whole new outfit), I can now use the app to be really creative with what I wear. What I enjoy most about this app is mostly when I decide to go shopping it can help me focus on my needs vs. wants which is so crucial to adding more creativity to a personal wardrobe.  It also helps to promote what needs to be donated as well.

What the app looks like on my phone:

I found this app at the Apple Store (not sure if it is available on Android)

You can add the details of the item and the availability example: laundry, dry clean, in closet, etc.

You can quickly view your closet based on category

Here is the outfit calendar

Do you use the app as well? Has it been helpful to

you?  What is your favorite fashion app?
