Fab Friday – Hello August Edition

August 8, 2015 by Aly Leave a Comment

Ahhhh – it’s August already. Pretty soon it will be fall wardrobe shopping, pumpkin everything, #WaffleWeek and more. However, until then, let’s enjoy the summer and what’s left of it, shall we?

I have something to share – I have launched a second site devoted to my love of Polynesian cooking called Aloha Flavor. Aloha Flavor has been in the works for some time, but after many long talks with some amazingly supportive friends, I decided that it was time that my Polynesian inspired recipes go to a site of their very own. You can visit the site here and make sure to grab my tried and true recipe for Kalua Pork – it’s always a crowd pleaser!

When it comes to Cooking in Stilettos, I put my stiletto down and had a long come to Jesus with myself as I let the schedule get a bit lax and, for that, I apologize. So – going forward, there will be a bit more structure when it comes to my schedule here. I plan to post 2 – 3 recipes here every week along with a bi-weekly Fab Friday and a few other fun things I have planned for you. Over at Aloha Flavor, you will find delicious new recipes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so it’s on the calendar.

So that’s my scoop. Shopping wise, I have to confess, I have been so tied up with everything that I haven’t had much time to do much shopping, either in person or virtual. I know – I’m as shocked as some of you are. If my BFF Meowmix heard this, she’d smack me upside the head, hide my Choos and tell me to get to King of Prussia Mall stat! So – this weekend, I hope to get some visitation time with my favorite marble island, perhaps mull the aisles of Williams Sonoma and Christian Louboutin has some new stilettos at Neimans that need some “perusing.”

Let’s see what I’m obsessed with this week!

The Return of Fab Friday

July 17, 2015 by Aly 2 Comments

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s been ages since I have had a little Fab Friday fun with y’all and after much thinking, I thought the Fab Friday should return along with some changes. In addition to my spotlighting various things I am obsessed with, sale finds, etc., I’m also going to highlight blog links I’ve perused all week and recipes that are on my “must make” list. .

I joked with a friend today that this month is one of my favorite months of the year because, starting today, is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I have to confess, I have not had a seriously good shopping haul in a while. I fell into a shopping funk for a few months but recently, I have gotten my shopping mojo back up so no better way to do a little shopping damage then to visit this year’s sale, right?

First, I had a few things I had to cross off my to-do list before I would allow myself to shop the sale and while I was worried that I might have missed the window with the pre-sale, I found some amazing finds for winter, including some neutral wedge boots perfect for icy winters, a fab Twill Cape, the perfect nude lipstick kit and a couple other things I found.

Let’s get to browsing shall we?

Shopping In Stilettos – Steals and Deals Edition

October 17, 2014 by Aly Leave a Comment

There are some amazing sales going on at some of my favorite stores, including the much anticipated Friends and Family Sale at both Kate Spade AND Saks so I think some shopping might be on the agenda this weekend. Added bonus, Sur La Table is having an Anniversary Sale so I’ll have to spend some quality time at the King of Prussia location to see what I can find for holiday entertaining. Plus – who knows, they might have a good cooking class or two that I might need to sign up for. Yes, my wallet will be weeping a bit come Monday but, in my opinion, a little retail therapy (even virtual) is good for the soul.

Here are some of my fave finds!

Shopping In Stilettos – Hello October Edition

October 3, 2014 by Aly 3 Comments

Last night I decided that after a crazed week, some retail therapy was in order and quality time at the King of Prussia mall was a must. I wandered aisles, found some new lovely obsessions, adored some shoes and bags, picked up some pantry staples and while my wallet is none too pleased with me at the moment, I think I found some good finds, some new stiletto and bag obsessions and my kitchen is ready for some baking and cooking fun this month!

Let’s do a little Virtual Shopping shall we?
