Trinket Thursday

My Thursday Posts are going to consist of Trinkets or better known as jewelry! Oh how I love Jewelry!

Oh David Yurman!! I already have a Citrine Ring that my hubby gave me but when I saw this I knew I needed to add it to my *wish* list!

Love this necklace and it is only $34.00!

This J Crew necklace is from 2009! But I still LOVE IT! I am obsessed with anything Gold!

Judith Ripka! Also a small obsession! What a statement piece!

Chanel Cuff, YES PLEASE!! This is from 2009 but again it is FABULOUS! I am a huge fan of cuffs, I  just love how easy they are to wear and how they add a little something extra to your outfit!

This Alexander Wang cuff is shown on Rachel Zoes website! Rachel Zoe is amazing and known for her over accessorizing!

 Oh Rachel Zoe, the Queen of over accessorizing! Love the fur, the hat, the gold sunglasses, gold watch and gold bracelet. LOVE HER!

Rihanna is also known for her jewelry! I love these bangles!! Again I LOVE gold!

My style idol Carrie from Sex and the City! I have been watching the reruns of SATC on TBS and it just brings back into the moment I started watching Carrie and the girls!!! Love this gold chain bracelet and the diamonds on it!

Watches are not always considered Jewelry but when they have diamonds I think they are for sure jewels!! This is the Michelle watch I have... I love it!

This one however is on my *wish* List! Hubby, if you are reading this! TAKE NOTE!

I am not huge on earrings! I barley ever take my diamond studs out, what can I say I am a simple girl! But when I saw these I just LOVED them!

Ah more David Yurman!


That is all for today! Look forward to tomorrow, it is the first day of October, which means I will be doing a full Halloween Post!

My Award Winning Chili Recipe

A couple of years ago my company had a chili cook-off!!!! It was so fun!! There were only 22 of us there and not everyone submitted a chili but my chili won! YAY! In the judge's words it was a "classic" chili! Anyway I brag about my win every time I make this chili!

Kat's Award Winning Classic Chili
-2 and a half pounds of ground beef (the recipe calls for half ground beef and half deer meat! I do not like deer meat so I just use ground beef)
-2 cans of tomato sauce
-1  can of rotel
-1 small can of diced green chilis
-1 can of kidney bean(drain the liquid)
-1 can of chili beans
-1 packet of chili seasoning


Ok, once I have the hamburger meat browning on the stove I take out my crock pot and go ahead and pour all the cans of everything into the crock pot. I stir everything around and then just add a dash of Worcester sauce, hot sauce, some seasoned salt. You can really add anything into this if you want. I would add jalapenos but my hubby doesn't like them. This chili is so good and anything you add would just be a little something extra and fun into it.

After you brown the meat and put the chili seasoning on it just add it into the crock pot and stir then put the lid on the crock pot and let it cook.

I am a firm believer in letting it cook all day or even over night!

I add cheddar cheese on top of it and some Fritos on the bottom! Not healthy but oh so yummy!

Wordless Wednesdays

 

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Tuesday is going to be a day where I just share some of my favorite things! It could be clothes, purses, shoes, shows!

 This dress is so hot esp. with those shoes!!! I am needing this!

I LOVE this!!! And the shoes go perfectly! Not to mention I am obsessed with this  bag!

I am so into the blazer over anything for the fall! Forever 21 has some great cheap blazers that are perfect for those chilly fall days! A blazer can really take a summery outfit into fall!

I love gray with anything! But I especially love gray with pastels, preferably pink or light purple!

I love this huge bag!! Perfect for fall!!!

This little Burberry bag with the studs is so now! I am green with envy over anyone with this bag. I consider myself a Burberry Bag collector. I have 8, and love them all!!!! It is fun to switch them all out and wear them at different times of the year!

I love fall colors, this purple with the gold accents! Yummy! Plus the hair is adorable. I wish I could get my hair to look like that!

My husband and I were out shopping this weekend and I saw these and said how bad I had wanted these for awhile and his response "Didn't you just get  new boots last year" Um no they were 2 years ago and they are totally different they are Coach riding boots and these are cowboy boots. Totally different! And honestly, you can never have too many pairs of boots!

Yum pumpkin spice latte! Love them but not the calories!

Blah Blah Blah soda is bad for you. But some days you just  need some caffeine and do not want coffee! Coke Zero is amazing!

I love Colonel Reb and the Ole Miss Rebels! It is my Alma Mater and my hubby and I went there this weekend! It was fun but not the same. I know why they are taking things away from Ole Miss like Slow Dixie and Colonel Reb but it is not the same

The Grove!!!!!!!!!HOTTY TODDY

Oh Tory Burch flats how I love thee!!!! Metalix snake skin... YES PLEASE!

Ahh Halloween! I love pumpkins and am so excited that October is almost here and that means pumpkin patches will soon be opening!

I think that is enough of my favorites for now! Just some things I love!Looking forward to the Britney Spears episode of GLEE tonight! And the premier of The Good Wife

I am going to switch it up a little bit!

Well I think I am going to switch the blog up a little bit! This blog will no longer just be about reality TV shows! I am going to incorporate my whole life as a newlywed and just other things I adore!

Mondays I am going to be doing Menu Mondays where I share with y'all my menu for the week. I am hoping by doing this we will actually stick with the menu that  has been planned!! I know it is Tuesday but I am going to go ahead and give you my menu for the week!


Monday- Fantastic Breasts with whole grain brown rice- This is from my great aunt Cherie’s cookbook. It is so easy and so yummy!

Here is the recipe!
4-5 Chicken Breasts- bonesless, skinless
1 can of Dried beef- this is on the isle where canned chicken is
4-5 pieces of bacon
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 carton of sour cream- I say the more sour cream the better!
line the bottom of your pan with the dried beef
then wrap one piece of bacon around a chicken breast- then lay the brest on the dried beef
then mix the can of cream of mushroom and the carton of sour cream and then put on top of the chicken breasts
Cook for 2 and a half hours at 275. I like to serve over brown rice. I buy the Uncle Bens boil in a bag brown rice!

Tuesday- Leftover Fantastic Breasts

Wednesday-Breakfast for dinner-scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and hash browns!

Thursday-Homemade award winning chili!

Friday- we normally go out!

Odds and ends of different shows!

With fall comes a lot of tv watching for me. I am going to get huge if I keep sitting at work all day, then eating, drinking and watching tv all night. But what can I say, I LOVE all my shows!

Last night we saw the first contestant to be eliminated from DWTS!!! I was so glad it was not The Situation! He did not do a  great job, but I  liked his charisma and personality and if he were to go home in the first week I would for sure quit watching the show! Anyway back to the exciting new David Hasselhoff was eliminated. He was not good and just so cheesy!I am excited about this!

Last night I also watched One Tree Hill which I have been watching for years, but was thinking of not watching anymore. I think I am going to stick with it. Here are some fun outfits that the characters wore and I am totally wanting.

I know she looks mean here but I am loving the loose fitting gray tee with the black jeans.. adorable. and her hair is perfect! I wish I could  get mine to  look like that!

I also watched Life Unexpected! I got hooked on  his show last season which was its first! I love it! The plot is this girl Lux, which is an adorable girls name goes to find her birth parents and when she find them they are these young people who are not together, in fact her dad never even knew anything about her. Great story line and actors and the clothes are not bad either!

I am loving these boots! I kind of feel like I need them for fall!!!!

 I am really loving grays and pinks together for fall. I am really into this little jacket! Perfect for cooler fall weather!

GLEE
Glee was wonderful last night!!! I felt like I had waited so long and it was perfect!! The songs were current and the singers were awesome. I cannot wait to see what this year has in store! The Music was great we had everything from New York by Jay Z and Alecia Keys to Telephone by Lady Gaga and Billionaire! It was great! I cannot wait till next week when they have the "Brittney" episode!

I have a lot on tonight as well! I have got to get to the gym tonight though! Tonight is Survivor, Criminal Minds, Law and Order SVU!

Flipping Out-the one where Jenni sings Zoila a song!

I hope that everything clicks the link below this post, it is the funniest video of Jenni singing and dancing to a song she wrote for Zoila!

This episode focuses more on things going on at Valley Oak then really all the different jobs! We see Jeff becoming a little crazy, he wants Jett to work more out of the office so he is bringing in money which means more work for Zoila. Zoila only has every other Sunday off and she is well over 50. I feel bad for her because she looks tired and just worn out. I would be worn out to if I had to clean up after Jeff Lewis and his animals all day everyday! We see a soft side of Jeff though when he takes Zoila to get a surprise and he bought her a new Mini Cooper! It was so sweet to see him take care of her and he tells her she can now have every Sunday off! I just love the relationship between these two!!

Favorite things!

The only reality show I watched last night was Dancing with the Stars! So on to the other not reality shows I watched and just some other of my favorite things! Monday nights are crazy in tv land for me!
90210
Gossip Girl
Two and a half Men
How I Met Your Mother
Weeds
The C Word
Not to mention Monday Night Football

Gossip Girl was amazing last night! It was the girls last day in Paris! And Blair has a huge day with a prince! At the same time Serena is trying to figure out if Chuck is dead or alive.... this season is getting good! Here are some of my favorite outfits from last nights episode!

 Love the red dress and the makeup! Blair looks amazing for her date with her "prince"

 Not a huge fan of this dress but I am loving the neckless!! It is adorable! I want one!

Here is the rest of the red dress Blair wears to meet her "prince". I love it and dieing to know who it is by!

90210 was pretty good. Here are some of my favorite looks from last nights episode!

I love the pink of the sweater and the greyish blue of the shirt! Not to mention I love the two tone of her hair!

I am loving this sparkly gold dress Naomi is wearing for her 18th birthday party! It is perfect!

A better view of the back of the dress and the amazing sleeves!

Love this look, wish I could find that dress for work!! Love the neckless! 

 I love the person who styles the character Annie. Again this is just a comfy dress of skirt and top, any which way I am loving it. So easy going! Could wear in the summer and also in the fall with a sweater and adorable boots!

Tonight I am looking forward to Glee and Flipping Out! Also the finale of the Rachel Zoe project! I am back to work now and trying to find a wonderful and easy recipe to make for dinner tonight.. any suggestions?

Dancing with the Stars!!! Lets see if I stick with it this year!

Well, every year I always start out watching Dancing with the Stars and about 4 weeks into it I give up. So lets see if I can stick it out this year! I  just have a hard time committing 2 nights to a show.. besides big brother! Not to mention I have about 5 other shows I watch on Monday nights!
I will just comment on my favorites! If you want to know more t hen you will  have to watch the show!

I like Audrina because I watched every season of the Hills and figured she would be pretty good on DWTS! I thought she did a pretty great job and the judges scored her very very low. They also called her a "show pony". I guess we will see tonight if she is safe or not!

 I was very surprised by Bristol Palin. She was very stiff but she was pretty good and she had the moves and I think if people do not vote her off she could be pretty good at this!

Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing was wonderful! She got the highest scores of the night and looked wonderful!!  I LOVED Dirty Dancing when I was growing up!! I hope she wins this! It was also good to see her  get emotional when thinking about dancing with Patrick Swayze who recently passed away.

I also loved The Situation. He was not that great but I just  like his personality and hope he gets another chance.

Monday Night Shows!

I am really looking forward to all my Monday night shows! I normally get banished to the  bedroom to watch all my shows since my hubby is normally watching Monday Night Football in our living room. But I have so many shows taping on my dvr that I had to tape Dancing with the Stars on our living room tv.. we will see how that goes? Might I add I love DVR! I do not even remember what life is like with DVR!

Here is my lineup of shows for this evening!
How I Met Your Mother
Dancing with the Stars
2 and a half Men
90210
Gossip Girl

And I think I am going to give Hawaii 50 a try! Last night my hubby and I watched Boardwalk Empire on HBO and it was awesome. We both really enjoyed it! I need to also watch Keeping  up with the Kardashians tonight, I did not get to it last night.

Project Runway-Jackie O Sports Wear

Let me say that I have really enjoyed the challenges on this season of Project Runway! This week was a Jackie O sports wear challenge, but some of these people must not really know who Jackie O is because their designs were not right at all. When you think of Jackie O I always think of casual elegance, classic style. Not sure what these people were thinking. A couple of people really hit the nail right on the head! I will start with my favorites first then go to the not so great! And finally to who went home and who won the challenge!

Christopher- Made a really well made one shoulders dress, I am really into one shoulder dresses and am loving this look. They had to make outwear to go with their look also and his cape thing was not ok. It was so much better before the cape!
http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-8/rate-the-runway/episode-8#id=3

Ivy- As much as I dislike her attitude and how she acts towards people I really liked her look this week and you could totally see Jackie O in something like this.
http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-8/rate-the-runway/episode-8#id=5

The worst
Valerie- Her design was so boring and blah. Nothing Jackie O would have ever worn and her outer wear was terrible.
http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-8/rate-the-runway/episode-8#id=9

Gretchen- Not only is she so annoying and full of herself, her designs are not as wonderful and great as she seems to think they are. In this case the dress is awful  but the outwear was really nice, Jackie O would not ever wear either of these.
http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-8/rate-the-runway/episode-8#id=4

The loser this week
Michael Drummond- I am so sad about this, he is a STL boy and I have worked with him before and just really love his designs and he always got the short end of the stick on Project Runway, there were multiple times where he really should have won and did not. This was not as bad as some of the other designs. The skirt was cute but the fit was a little off. The belt did not help anything.

http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-8/rate-the-runway/episode-8#id=7

THE WINNER
Mondo- I was a little surprised by this. The heavy huge tweed skirt and jacket with the black and white striped top. I think Jackie O would have worn all of this, just not at the same time.
http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-8/rate-the-runway/episode-8#id=8

I cannot wait for next week, although I am sad Michael is gone. I hope to see more clothes from him in the future!

Big Brother finale! FINALLY!

Sorry I am so late blogging about the BB Finale! I have been so busy with life the last couple of days. So here we go and I will try and get caught up!

We start off as the Enzo, Lane and Hayden have been in the house by themselves for a week and Lane and Hayden are about to duke it out for the 3rd and final HOH competition. Hayden wins the HOH competition!!!!! No surprise there and I think at this point Enzo knows he will not be making it to the final 2!

After the competiton Hayden must pick who he is going to take to the final 2, I was surprised when he said Lane! I mean Enzo had not won any competitions and Hayden had a much better chance at beating him then Lane. No one was going to end up voting for Enzo. But he choose Lane and Enzo went out into the crowd! Now we have just the 2 of them in the house sitting around waiting till they can come out and they announce who won.

Then we went to the Live show were the Jury came out and had questions for the 2 remaining house guests! This art was fun because we got to see what  Hayden and Lane answered plus we got to see Regan finally admit he was the second saboteur and everyone was in shock! He won 20,000 from that which was great that he had won something. I think there should be money prizes for everyone who makes into like the final five or all the people in the Jury. Each week you are there you get a prize!

Then they vote! Then they brought the house guests that went home first and were not on the Jury! It was good to see Andrew and Kristen! Kristen looked good and I am guessing she and Hayden will continue a relationship! In other relationship news, Brenden and Rachel are going to continue their relationship, Rachel is going to move to LA to be with Brenden while he gets his PHD at UCLA!

Then we get to the point where Julie goes over each of the votes!! Hayden wins!! But only by 1 vote!!!! I knew he should have taken Enzo and he would not have been sweating it out! Last but not least Brittany won the 25k for being the fan favorite! Again I thought Enzo would get that too. I guess I was really off on what America was thinking!

Well Big Brother it is goodbye for now, see you next summer!

This is HILARIOUS!

The Rachel Zoe Project

I am starting to become obsessed with Rachel Zoe! She is hilarious, has amazing style and just seems to live a fabulous life! This episode is after the Oscars and Rachel is getting ready to plan and cook the Seder dinner for her real family and fashion family!

This episode Rachel also gets a new client and dresses her for a red carpet event and another event. The clothes Rachel has in her studio are amazing and the shoes.. WOW!

I do not really have a lot to say about Rachel Zoe except I love the clothes! I am going to post some videos from the episode and some pics! There is a really funny but where a comedian comes in and does the"Rachel" it is hilarious! I laughed for awhile about this!

Flipping out!

Lats night was Tuesday with Jeff Lewis and the Flipping Out crew! LOVE IT! I stayed up way to late to watch this when my husband and I got home from a baseball game! I had to watch it before I could go to bed! This week Jeff returns from NYC to a lot of work! He is renovating the waiting area at Casa Vega and they want to get it finished before Cinco De Mayo which is their biggest day of the year! This could go smoothly or it could not, I guess we shall see!

We also see Jenni and Jeff start dealing with Barb and Bob, for the first time ever Jeff receives a letter in the male stating that they will have to pay a penalty if they go over the time allotted for the project. Jeff and Jenni decide they need to cut ties with Barb and Bob but they are sad about it because they really like them but the money is not worth it and he spends too much time driving out there. So they nicely tell them that they will go over all the ideas with Chris and basically turn the project over to Chris to see through and finish. I was also sad about this, it was funny to see Jeff interact with Barb. Barb is very eccentric and put Jeff out of his comfort zone! She had m ore crazy ideas then I had ever seen and hope they still show her finished kitchen on the show to see what they actually ended up doing.  On last nights episode she wanted to have nude figures as the handles to the cabinets, they were 100 a piece!

Back to Casa Vega, Cinco de Mayo is quickly approaching and Kash and Jeff are trying to figure out how to get it all finished when they have workers who do not show up, the people who came to put the new front door on put the wrong hinges on and now the door has marks all over it. It is not looking good and everyone can tell Christy is getting angry about the whole thing. I do not blame her but Jeff has a point when he says that it is out of control and that he does everything he can do to make everything work.

Also in this episode Jeff and Jenni go on a consult for a  home in the Hollywood Hills! This house has an amazing view, pool, just a gorgeous house! I hope he can get this one so we can watch the progress and see the finished product!


I am going to post a link to some pics from this episode!

I am also excited for the Big Brother finale tonight followed by a new Survivor. I am normally not a Survivor watcher but Jimmy Johnson is going to be on and my husband wants to watch so we are going to give it a try!

I also watched One Tree Hill last night but nothing good to write  about there. I was sad when they said they might cancel it but then they did not and it came  back on and I was disappointed. I am not sure if I will stick with it this season!

I will also post on Rachel Zoe Project later this evening!

Bachelor Pad Finale!!!

Finally we are on to the finale of the Bachelor Pad! The finale was not what I was expecting it to be. I thought the 2 couples would have to battle it out in real challenges so win the 250k! I was wrong. We started off with the 3 remaining couples, Tenley and Kyptin, Dave and Natalie and Kovacks and Elizabeth! We have a Dancing with the Stars challenge, each couple gets partnered with a professional from DWTS and learned a dance and had to perform and the winner would make it to the final four and they would get to choose who went with them to the final four. I did not think it was fair for them to choose, it should have been the top 2 teams made it to the finals, which it would have still ended the same way.The judges were Melissa Rycroft Strickland, Jake Pevleka and Trista!

Tenley and Kyptin went first and they were wonderful! She was so bubbly and smiling the whole time, it was hard not to like it! They got a 28 and were in the lead. Next were Elizabeth and Kovacks and they were terrible, they had good chemistry but their dancing skills were terrible. I could not figure out which one was worse! I did not even remember their score because they were so terrible. Dave and Natalie were last and they were ok. They had good chemistry and she had really improved from when they were practicing. They got a 27 and were one point away from winning but Tenley and Kpytin won!It was now up to them to choose who would be going with them to the final 4! It was easy for Tenley, she and Natalie were good friends and she thought she could win against them. So they choose Dave and Natalie and sent Kovacks and Elizabeth home! After this we went to the LIVE show!

On the Live show they had all the contestants and we learned about what they all had going on,  Wes and Gia were finally together! They kissed on LIVE TV! Elizabeth and Kovacks were not together and she was quick about saying that then went on to say he was a player and they did not last very long after the show! Everyone else was ok and we were ready to get on with who was going to win. They brought the 2 couples out and had the former cast mates ask them questions, the best ones were from Jesse who had kind of been seeing Dave at one point before Natalie, and Krissily who had been promised she was safe from Dave and then felt betrayed and  back stabbed because she got sent home that week. This was all great but I was ready to get down the to challenge, but there was not one. How they did it, was the former cast  mates would each vote on which would they wanted to win and the first couple that got 8 votes would be up for the money, then there was another challenge after that. It was pretty much a landslide for Dave and Natalie, I felt bad for Tenley and Kyptin because I genuinely think they are right for each other and they like each other a lot. So now Dave and Natalie have to square off, I was thinking there would be this big challenge but there was not. There were 3 options, one was if they both answered share then they would share the money, if one person answered Keep and the other answered share then the person who answered Keep would get all the money. Then if the both answered Keep then the former cast mates would split the money and they would not get anything.

Natalie looked so nervous about her answer and went into a whole thing about how you can only take your friends so far so I was sure she put Keep and we already knew Dave put share but then she ripped the card open and it said Share!! They both got 125k!!! I thought it was an ok ending, I wanted a little more excitement!

I did not watch any other reality shows last night, but it was a  very exciting TV evening because Gossip Girl came back on and so did 90210!

Gossip Girl was amazing and the clothes were fabulous! I thought I would post some of my favorite outfits!ENJOY!

Love the gold sparkly blazer! 

  

 I love the light pink dress with gray blazer, I am not a big fan of the hat. I also love the bold print of Blairs dress!

I am loving these high waisted pink pants, I could never pull them off but I am loving them on her! And not to mention I am loving the Chanel bag! I bet she has something wonderful in there!

Now this is what you call mens wear! Love it! Chuck looks amazing! I wish I could get my husband to wear something like this. It takes a very confident man to pull off a suit like this!
