Fabulous Friday: Trader Joe’s Holiday Joe-Joe’s

Maggie — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:44:18 +0000

I just discovered these! I’m not big on sweets (aside from ice cream of course), but I do love a good Joe-Joe! (those are Trader Joe’s brand of Oreos for those of you non-Trader Joe’s shoppers) Josh usually does our grocery shopping, since I bring home massive amounts of ice cream and other things we don’t need. BUT Josh was out of town last weekend so I got to shop and buy things like these:

And oh my goodness, am I ever glad I did! They are amazing! They are chocolate-covered Joe-Joes in four flavors: Peppermint, Gingerbread, Double Chocolate, and Peanut Butter! So freaking delicious!

I’m telling you, you NEED to go buy these now! Do it! You’ll thank me!

I meant to post this yesterday, but the day got away from me!

This month I’m wearing this amazing shade of red to match the ornaments on my tree! It’s a lovely deep red with a shimmer to it! Very festive!

Fabulous Friday: Pumpkin Spice Latte!

Maggie — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:28:17 +0000

It’s all over the place this week! Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Lattes are here! Which is a sure sign that fall is here, well almost. I’m in sunny SoCal, so it’s still in the high 90s, low 100s, but that is no reason not to celebrate the coming season. So this morning I’m enjoying my very first Pumpkin Spice of the season:

ON ICE! Soooo freaking tasty! Yay fall!

*Starbucks did not pay me to write this, but boy do I wish they had!

Fabulous Friday: the Summer to Fall Dress

Maggie — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 23:45:58 +0000

I was super excited to find this dress at Target the other day! It’s the perfect summer to fall dress. The colors work well for both seasons. Right now I’m wearing it with just a pair of sandals, but come fall all I have to do is add a cardigan, a pair of tights and boots and I’ll be in perfect autumnal style!
