2012 Fall Fashion Inspiration

Happy Friday! I was thrilled this morning when I came across this fashion board with 21fabulous outfits for fall 2012. Lord knows that New York fashion week isn't on my radar so I'm thankful Beth over at Home Stories A to Z was able to help a sista' out. Some you'll love, some you might hate. Take bits and pieces and make it your own.

What I loved about her post is that she made it super convenient by allowing you to “shop the outfit." You can click on the items to be taken directly to the store carrying that item. She tried using the exact items when possible and sometimes deliberately highlighted some cheaper alternatives. But her focus wasn't to make them affordable. Just inspiring.

Here are a few looks I love from the list. Maybe not the whole look but an item that I will be sure to find. At an affordable price.

Love this simple look sans those flower sunglasses & earrings. Boots are lovely but probably won't be around next fall.

I'm a sucker for stripes so I'm LOVING that top especially the ruffle shoulder detail. Jeans color is great too!

Love that brown hooded jacket. Looks comfy.

Love the yellow, white & navy combo. The girly detail on the trench coat collar is fabulous. Those boots are hot but as a mom, I wouldn't waste my money.

Love that orange caridan. Perfect for those "feeling fat" days.

Love the yellow top. Not sure I'd put the yellow trench over the top though. Love that the bootcut jean is still in!

Love the belt & scarf but I'm especially excited about the grey boot. I will have grey boots this fall.

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

CHICKEN NUGGETS anyone??

If this doesn't stop you from going through the drive thru - then we have quite a bit of work to do! "Mechanically Separated Chicken" is the actual name for this pink paste that looks nothing like chicken. Eventually this pink paste will be shaped into little boots, fried and placed in Happy Meals around the world!

Fancy Friday

Wondering what tickled my fancy (aka; something I enjoyed, adored or was satisfied by) this week? Hands down the Chicken Taco Chili I made in the crock pot. Similar to last week's " Meal in a Can " recipe but with a little more kick and ingredients. This is so freakin' easy. Beyond delicious on a chilly evening. High in protein and fiber and of course low in fat. Would I make it if it was any other way?!? Nada. And if you're a Weight Watchers guru, it's low in points too! Bonus. Having a Super Bowl gathering at your house? Whip up a big batch of this with some corn bread and you've got yourself a crowd pleaser. Great for the kids too! ~Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili~ Recipe courtesy of skinnytaste.com Ingredients: 1 onion, chopped 1 16-oz can black beans 1 16-oz can kidney beans 1 8-oz can tomato sauce 10 oz package frozen corn kernels or 1 16 oz. can of corn 2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies (mild or spicy depending on your tolerance) 3-4 boneless ski...
