Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup toasted pecans 

 

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper. Combine oats, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl. Once well mixed add in the applesauce, chocolate chips and pecans and mix well. Drop tablespoon size cookies on to your baking sheet. If you like your cookies flat then give them a tiny push down. Bake for 14-16 minutes.

If doing 21 Day Fix or any other nutrition tracking 2 cookies count as one carbohydrate. Hope you enjoy! I know I love them!

Dying over Denim

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

|| Skirt || Bag: S/O Vintage Louis Vuitton || Booties || Button Down: Similar || Sunnies ||

|| Stash Vintage Necklace: S\O  ||

With these random cool temps, I don't know about you but I don't know whether to shop Winter or Spring.  Vintage shops are the best for situations like these and personally, I am a sucker for a vintage look with a modern twist and Stash is just that.

 

I currently am dying over denim, and I cannot get enough of this denim skirt with distress leather and snap button accents!#ImDead #InLove  I can warm it up right now with booties yet still pull it into the spring season with this pastel button down.  I also would love to wear this skirt with a white tank and laced up heels, but we'll save that for warmer temps!

 

Anyways, check out Stash's must haves if you haven't...the ladies in there are full of energy and you will be sure to find, one of a kind pieces, that everyone else won't be wearing, this season. Score.

 

Ps. This outfit is totally Nashville inspired.  Signed, wishing I was still on vaca...

Crisp and Fresh

 

 

 

|| Burberry Trench: Similar || Denim || Heels: S/O || Bag || Earrings ||

 

Crisp and fresh, just like the start to every Spring! I love this spring transition look, it's perfect for the office on a Friday. The jacket is a classic that will never go out of style and you know me and my florals in the spring and summer, I can't get enough!!! Use BRANDOM when you check out at Israelle's Upscale Consignment to let them know where you heard about them first! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with their families! Mine was very peaceful and filled with family, couldn't ask for more!

 

Happy Spring!

For the Love of Fashion

 

 

 

 

 

 

|| Skirt: Gucci || Crop Top: Urban Outfitters || Bag: Kate Spade || Heels: Grey: Peep Toe ||

 

Crop tops and minis, channeling my inner "Clueless." I adore this crisp, polished look. These Sam & Libby heels are from Target and are one of my most comfortable pairs of heels!  They are perfect for a busy work day when you are on your feet, oh and are under $40!! #TargetNeverFails This Gucci skirt (that goes with everything) and Kate Spade tote are great steals from Israelle's Upscale Consignment!!! The Kate Spade tote is sold out but there is a fabulous black Tory Burch tote still available! I can't get enough of Israelle's Upscale Consignment! You can consign your own items and shop all at the same place, so simple and easy! Why wouldn't we share our love for fashion by consigning!? P.s. The customer service is excellent, very professional and prompt (always a plus)!

 

 Be sure to type "BRANDOM" when you are checking out so the lovely Israelle knows where you heard it first!

 

Cheers to consigning for the love of fashion and having the best at the best price!

A little 80's-90's throwback for your Friday! I love how different decades inspire current trends. It makes fashion and styling such a blast (or blast from the past)! Stash has such a variety of retro classics that totally play on today's current trends. Their pieces, whether they may be, vintage or handmade, give today's fashion that authentic edge that leave your friends asking,

"where's that from?"

 

Happy Flashback Friday Loves!

Dressed In Love

 

 

 

 

|| Dress || Boots ||

 

Love never goes out of style. In need of some Valentine's Day date looks? Linked are the details to this boho, romantic, Moonstruck Printed Mini Dress from Free People. Also, linked are these over the knee boots that speak for themselves. What's everyone's plan for the holiday of love? Justin and I typically do experiences over gifts. This year, we plan to go to The Hotel Hershey and spend the evening there. I love staying in hotels, and it'll be a little change of scenery and some yummy food!

 

Still don't know what to get your guy for Valentine's Day? Here are some ideas...

 

Experience- do something new, book a trip, sporting event, cook together (one of my personal favorites)

Tie Bar- they have ties, bow ties, sock, and more.

OR Monthly Club- you can get subscriptions for ties, beers, cigars, hot sauce (If love spicy food, like me, this could be fun)

Victoria's Secret- Had to

New Shoes

Cuff Links- I like these Cole Haan links

 

 

Happy Valentine's Day Love Birds!

xx,

Melody
