Fancy Shoes!

Shoes are an outfit's favorite accessory. I love shoes. Here are a few different shoes that I think are just adorable!!

These here are from Nine West - $99
I love the peep-toe sling back. I also ADORE nine west shoes. These would look really cute with a one color spring dress!

And neon is totally in right now, which is why these Aldo pumps would be super cute! -$100
And what the hell is this Prada?  A flame at the end of the shoe? I don't see how that is resourceful especially for almost $1000 for a shoe? Um. Thanks, but no thanks.
Now here is a beautiful designer shoe, Manolo Blahnik - $945. Totally not within budget, but they are too pretty not to at least put on here...

There is a bit of shoe porn for you. I hope the rest of your week is fabulous!

Stay fancy, Ya'll!

So boring right? Who wants to talk about Iphone cases? I know I know, those who don't have an iphone right? Anyways, if you aren't on board with the appleness - then maybe this post isn't for you, but I'm about to post so serious cuteness. So, just hang out for a minute.

Have you even noticed all the different Iphone 4 cases you can get? Some are super creative - like this one

An eyeshadow case? Get out! How cute is that? Now, there are some that are just down right strange, but interesting at the same time. Liiikeee this one

Cover me with something fancy

Oh, it's February? You don't say? Too early for bathing suits? I don't think so.

Why don't we just start off with some bathing suit cover ups that you can lounge around in. I mean seriously, it's never too early to pretend you're at the beach..or an island. Or maybe this will inspire a much needed get away?

This Betsy Johnson Cover up is ADORABLE. -$128

If you have a couple hundred bucks lying around for this beauty...Tory Burch Print Silk Cover up - $325
And here is one on a budget that is simply adorable - Jessica Simpson's Delhi Beach cover up - $48




Looking fancy while sippin' something sweet layin' by the pool is the ultimate chic. You can spend a fortune and look cute, or spend a little and still look adorable. Either way, spend some time out in the sun!

Stay Fancy loves.

Fancy Mac and Cheese

Seriously, what is more amazing than macaroni and cheese - I will tell you. It is macaroni and cheese in the shape of a muffin and somewhat healthy.

These are down right amazing.

Ingredients:
4 c cooked whole wheat or high fiber macaroni
1 T butter
1 T flour
1 c skim milk
1 garlic clove, minced
3 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 egg
1 egg white
1 (10 oz) package of frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, drained and patted dry (or you could use 1 cup cooked fresh spinach)
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
1.    Pre-heat the oven to 400. Lightly mist a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
2.    In a small sauce pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, mixing it into the butter until thick. Stir in the milk and garlic and raise the temp to bring the mixture to just under a boil. Add the cheese and whisk mixture together until thoroughly combined into a cheese sauce.
3.    Remove the cheese sauce from heat and then mix in the egg and egg white (binding agents) until combined.
4.    In a large bowl, combine the pasta, spinach, cheese sauce, salt and pepper and mix together. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cups of your prepared muffin tin.
5.    Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tops slightly brown. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.

Crazy little thing called love

February is "Heart" month, "love" month - whatever you desire to call it.

Here are a few adorable red pieces.

Origami sheath dress in wool crepe - J.Crew $198


Cute Red Ann Taylor Loft Pants $59.50

This sweet red shirt from Free People - $108



You can't go wrong people. CAN'T. Well, you can. You could attempt to wear these items all at once which would be a nightmare.

Hope everyone is having a happy heart month.

Fancy Buns

What is better than having a good set of buns? Or a good body at that?


Jillian Michaels 30 day shred is where it's at. Seriously - it kicks ass butt. There are 3 different levels, and depending on your expertise of exercise is which level you should pick. If you've yet to set foot off the couch this year, I'd say stick with level one. You'll still be out of breath and wanting to scream. For those of us who do a little bit of jogging every day and know what the inside of a gym looks like - you might want to do level two, it's legit. Level 3 is for those of us who are a bit more advanced. Obviously, the goal is to start at level 1 and work your way up. You can also try it that way.



Jillian Michaels doesn't hold back, and the whole workout is 20 minutes long, but you don't stop at all. Like - no water break. It's pretty intense.


And let's be honest, Jillian isn't exactly sweet. She's kind of intimidating. Don't act like you're not scared.

The girls at Oh, You Fancy Huh have all tried it - and completely reccomend it.
