Cute Find: B. Makowsky handbags

Category : Uncategorized

Sleek, well built statment handbags are all over the place; accesories like big bags and sexy pumps go well together and can be the defining factor in making an outfit standout. 

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to have a great look, like my aunt always says you can go to school but you cant buy class, and these bags are class on a cheap girls budget.  So we’re mostly talking about $200 bag here, but divide that by the many years to come you’ll have it, and it literally becomes priceless.  This is an investment purchase.

They are just as well made with fine attention to detail as a many high end designer brands such as Guicci or Prada.


History:
B. Makowsky brand combines fine leathers, sleek hardware and stylish designs to create affordable leather handbags for today’s marketplace. With much attention to quality, our classic handbags feel great with a look that is timeless.

Named after Bruce Makowsky, the brand was created by himself and wife Kathy (of Kathy Van Zeeland fame) in 2006. Their success at growing the brand in two years has been unprecedented, and they truly want their customers to feel luxurious and be complimented on having great style with a B. Makowsky handbag.

easy recipe: Asparagus Parmesian Squares & Garlic Shrimp

Category : bits and pieces


Most of my dinner are recipes that are easy and take under 40 mintues form start to finish. This one will be one of my favorites. I made this last night and it came out great ( it taste a lot better than it looks) .
Just wanted to share with all you guys out there who love to east seasonly, without the hassle of spending lenhtly hours in the kitchen, or even dishing out lots of money.

  • Asparagus & Parmesian Pastry :
  • Ingredients:
  • 1 sheet of fresh or frozen ready-rolled puff pastry cut into 4
  • 300g asparagus trimmed and cooked in simmering water for 2 mins
  • 2 tbsp mascarpone mixed with 3 tbsp grated parmesan
  • parmesan shavings to serve
  • olive oil
Method:
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the mascarpone mix over the pastry tarts, leaving a 2cm border. Lay a quarter of the asparagus on top of each. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp and golden. Sprinkle with parmesan shavings.









Garlic Shrimp with baby tomatoes:


Ingredients and Method:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • handful of baby tomatoes halved 
  • 1 pound fresh or frozen medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley

Heat the oil in the skillet over high heat. Place the garlic and shrimp in the skillet and stir until garlic is lightly browned and shrimp turns pink. Add tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Let simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes.   And voila! 

Let me know how it turn out, or if you made substitiion, additions. I’m not a ver conventional cook, so i use recipes as a guideline but tend to stray. But I was very pleased with the results – and I had it with some leftovers Biyriani from the day before. It was delish!

How to wear: Boyfriend jeans

Category : How to Wear...

If you want to try the boyfriend jeans trend, but not sure where to begin, or you might not want to spend a lot of money but you still want to look cute and stylish, then here are some tips on how to rock the style that celebrities like Katie Holmes, Beyonce and Cameron Diaz are wearing.

You can look great too, here’s the toocute guide to being frugal and fab.

1. add some color – accessorize with a little bit of pizazz( Katie Holmes did it with those red ballet flats, colored oversize cardigans and chic scarves)

2. less is more – a simple white shirt paired with jeans and a well structured jacket can make anyone look like they spent a million bucks.

3. head and toes – Think matching jewelry with shoes is bad taste?( i know that this season the thing that everyone is really working hard not to do is mix & match, but i love matching stuff if it makes you look good) If you dont want to go overboard on the matching try something simple like earrings matched with shoes, for an understated elegance.
