Really, I’m kind of laughing at myself right now because I wrote this post yesterday, as I usually do, but I accidentally forgot to hit “publish.” Uh huh. So here’s The Monday Rundown, at 8:30pm PST. xo
Glitter pumpkins: I feel like pumpkins are really having a moment this year. In fact, I’ll be posting a cool pumpkin DIY link in tomorrow’s Tuesday Web Candy, so stay tuned. BTW- Pier1 is selling all their Halloween stuff at 50% off.
Kate Spade Play Hooky iPad Case:I’ve always LOVED the phrase “playing hooky” and IF I had an Ipad, IF, I would totally own this case.
LUSH Shine So Bright: My ends have been a little dry and brittle lately so when I was introduced to this tiny balm, I was excited to try it. It really does hydrate my ends but doesn’t make this stiff or sticky. I like it.
Halloween cocktails are always so fun and creative. I just tried out this delish vodka martini and, as if you didn’t already need a reason to drink, (BELVEDERE)RED(i.e. the vodka to use) donates 50% of the profits of sale benefit HIV/AIDS programs in Africa. Here’s how to create the cocktail at home:
INGREDIENTS
50ml (BELVEDERE)RED
12.5ml Honey water
Dash lemon juice
Fresh sage leaves
25ml pressed apple juice
Dash of Sauvignon Blanc white wine
INSTRUCTIONS
Muddle green grapes with honey water
Add rest of ingredients, shake and fine strain into a chilled martini glass
Pumpkin-shaped Chocolate Cake: I haven’t actually tried this recipe (since I have zero backing skills) but I love that it’s just two bundt cakes put together with an ice cream cone as the stem.
GAP 1969 Leopard Jeggings: The Current/Elliot version has been all the rage in the blogosphere, and I like them, but I think this darker, more subtle version is a little more me and definitely more versatile.
LUSH Jacko Bath Bomb: This bath bomb doesn’t actually smell like pumpkin. However, the spicy clove bud and spearmint combo has a lot of gusto and I’m just a big fan of bath bombs in general.
