And the winner is...

DyShaun from Florida!

I hope you enjoy your book, because I have already tried some of the recipes and the 7 Layer Burrito Blitz made my Cinco de Mayo celebration a big hit without a big hit to my caloric intake.

The recipe up next for me to try...Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake with only 188 calories! Yum.

Go here to buy the book, yourself!

Congrats, again, DyShaun!

Stay Stylish!

Lesa Wallace Fall 2008 Collection

There is nothing more glorious to a bag hag, such as myself, than to be introduced to a line you weren't fortunate enough to have known about in the past. What  makes it more fabulously glorious is when the line is filled with spectacular and luxurious bags and that can definitely be said about Lesa Wallace bags.

I swoon for a big and colorful bag, so that teal 'Inspire' tote is making me speak in tongues! Lesa Wallace has a fab and vast selection of totes, clutches, handbags, and unisex bags, which are perfect for that "metrosexy" in your life.

Designing Fashion is something that Lesa Wallace has been doing since she was a young girl.  The third of four children within a close-knit Hispanic family, her interest in fashion design really began out of necessity. Lesa longed for her own new clothes, rather than the hand-me-downs she was given from her older sister.  Determined to have a distinguished style, Lesa began altering what her sister grew out of, making it unique and special enough to call her own.  In time, she went from making small alterations in finished garments, to making original creations from scratch.

 

At the age of 27 years old, Lesa graduated from Fashion Design School earning three degrees. This was the time in her life when Lesa turned her focus to the handbag industry, where she found a lapse in the market for contemporary bags.

 

Entering into her tenth signature collection Lesa successfully continues to create a signature line of handbags where style and quality meets function.

 

 

Lesa Wallace…. “It’s all in my bag.’’

Sundance's Big Ideas For A Small Planet: Fashion TONIGHT!!

The second season of The Sundance Channel's The Green premiered on April 1st and is a 13 part eco-series that presents and informs on green issues and eco-hereos.

One of the episodes that premieres tonight, which comes on @ 9:00p/e on Sundance, is about the wonderful world of fashion. This episode will focus on the environmental consciousness that has hit the fashion industry in a MAJOR way in the form of various eco-friendly clothing and lines.

"..from T-shirts and jeans to haute couture, style is coming to mean sustainable fabric and earth-friendly manufacturing practices.  In this episode, we’ll meet several men and women who are bringing green to fashion, clothing stores and to the dry cleaners, too."

Be sure to catch tonight's episode and all the others, because they are really informative. I was lucky enough to have screened a few of the episodes, including tonight's one on fashion and really enjoyed them.

Check your local listing!

Sold Out

For the past couple of weeks I have been planning on staying up to midnight on May 5th so I could be one of the first people to score a pair of the MOBxCollete Reeboks, since there were only 50 available online. Unfortunately, the mini-cold cocktail I drowned myself with last night knocked me out until 9 this morning and needless to say the shoes were sold out. I guess I will have to keep my eyes open and hopes up that a pair near my size will pop up on ebay.

However, in the meantime, the lastest batch of MOB tees are out and just as hot as ever!

Yay or Nay...Slicks

A little while back, my friend was contemplating buying some clear air 1s, but I told him that they would yellow up and look dirty in a matter of no time. However, maybe it was just a different and slightly less annoying way of saying that clear sneakers are just...weird, especially clear.

Well, I saw these colored slick kicks and wasn't immediately retching like I usually do at clear PVC sneaks, but I am not just completely feeling them either. How about you? Yay or Nay?

BTW, they also have some sequined ones.Uh, here comes the retching.
