Friday's Scoop 2/1/13

Walking in this fog was really, really creepy!
Buildings disappeared and people came out of nowhere. 

Again this week had some crazy weather! There was dense fog, freezing temperatures, snow flurries and howling winds! Also yesterday it was fifty degrees in the morning and I was able to go outside without a jacket, but by the afternoon I had my down coat back on! How has the weather been in your area?

1. Have you seen the new wedge sneakers? At first I thought they were a little odd, but now I am really starting to dig them! There is no way I could afford the "posh" celebrity version, so I went looking for an alternative. Now I would like your help in deciding if this is a weird fluke in my fashion, or they are worth it!

• Nike Dunk Sky High Vintage in Light Pink 
• Nike Dunk Sky High Liberty I really like the color of these, but I am not sold on the subtle pattern. 
• Steve Madden Hilight In black these look just like those "posh" celebrity wedges, for that reason I like these, but I am afraid I can't pull these off. 

Do you like these shoes or am I losing my fashion mind?

2. You may have notice some changes going on on the blog! I have been trying my hand at DIY blog design, and I successfully edited my HTML code with out messing my blog up! YAY!!! Along with a new design, I am again working towards establishing a new name for my blog. Until I decide on a new name, I will be playing around with a lot of layouts and headers. Do you like the new direction of the blog or do you have other ideas?

3. So while drooling over at How Sweet It Is I stumbled upon this perfume by Tokyo-milk. Guess what it is called? Dun, dun, dun...Let them Eat Cake! Now I have not actually smelled it yet, but I plan to very soon! There is a store in the next town over that sells Tokyo-milk products! So excited! What are some of your favorite perfumes?

4. Did you know they changed the name of Samoas? Apparently they are now "Caramel deLites" because they got a new baker. I am sorry, but huh? You can't just do that to my samoas!

5. Recipes I have bookmarked this week! What did you bookmark this week?

• Magnolia Bakery Vanilla Vanilla Cupcakes by The Baker Upstairs Someday I will visit Magnolia Bakery, but for now I will try these cupcakes!! 
• Baked Mozzarella Sticks by Love Grows Wild I love, love, love mozzarella sticks, but they are so unhealthy. I try to eat them only on very special occasions, but with these being baked, I could eat them more often!
• Sprinkled Strawberry and Coconut Milk Scones by How Sweet It Is Scones have been on my "to make" list for a very long time and I just bought two things of strawberries because they were on sale! Maybe I should use them to make these! 
• Strawberry Meringues by Cooking Classy I recently was looking for strawberry extract for another recipe, but I was unable to find it. Hopefully I can find it soon for this recipe! I love the look of these!
• Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits by Omnivorous Fox Biscuits are a favorite of mine! Look at all those flaky, fluffy layers! Yummy! 

Oh, yes this happened! PUPPIES! I love puppies! 

Have a great weekend!
