Hub's B-Day Weekend!


(Coat: DOLCE VITA, Leggings: H&M, Shoes: FROM TAIPEI, Handbag: CHANEL)

I had originally planned on wearing high heels but the Hubs made me change -___-

BTW this is the conversation we had in our apartment.

The Hubs: You need to change shoes
Me: Why?
The Hubs: I told you already it's snowing outside
Me: Ok.
The Hubs: and you're going to break your neck if you go outside like that.
ME: ::SILENCE
The Hubs: ::SILENCE::
Me: OK FINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. UGH.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


How adorbs is he?! 


Hehehehehe :)


<3 <3 <3 <3



You mean to tell me you don't take self portraits whenever there are floor to ceiling mirrored elevators? 

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!!!!


The next morning I made cinnamon raisin stuffed french toast w/ berries :)

Left the bread uncovered overnight in the fridge to dry out.


I use these Laughing Cow lite creamy swiss triangles.  They're 35 calories a triangle and soooo yummy.  I always keep a couple in the fridge because I use them for everything from putting it on wheat bread, crackers to even making egg salad with! 

In this case I used it as the "stuffed" part you only need one triangle per 2 pieces of toast.. so basically 1 triangle per "sandwich"


I use a cherry berry mixed fruit blend in the middle.  Always keep a couple bags of frozen fruit in the fridge too because they're great in smoothies.. and even when I'm craving something sweet and cold they work great as a dessert eaten by itself sprinkled with some splenda!


Forgot to snap a pic of my dipping it in the egg mixture but my egg mixture is really simple just 2 eggs + 1 cup of milk.  I don't add any sugar or cinnamon because I'm already using raisin cinnamon bread. 


Fuzzy finished product shop w/ maple pork sausages!


My plate.. sans the cream cheese.. it's not my birthday after all hahahaha

After brunch was over The Hubs and I headed to the mall :)


SHOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

If you follow me on twitter & or facebook you would have seen our new purchases a little while ago

One for me and one for The Hubs muhahaha!

The Hubs is obsessed with his new winter boots it fades from grey to black leather ombre and it's flannel lined on the inside, on the tongue and around the ankle! 

And I'm obsessed with my new sneaks they're glitter fabulous with a metallic sponge-like gold finish!


And the best part they're in wedge form! OBSESSED! MUHAHAHA!!  

My wannabee Isabel Marant wedge sneakers..  I love the Isabel Marant ones.. but really cannot justify $700-ish for a pair of sneakers.  Mine were $50 Euro's so they were quite affordable in comparison.  Although to be fair the Isabel Marant ones have like 3 or 4 Velcro straps in place of shoelace's which I'm sure makes getting in and out of them significantly easier.  These are sort of a pain to put on and take off.  But no matter because gold metallic & sparkles make everything better muhahaha!


By the time we got back from the mall it was quite late so I quickly finished off the red velvet cake I baked earlier in the day by adding low fat/low cal whipped topping on the top and crushing cinnamon graham crackers.  I love the cinnamon graham crackers because it gives it a little bit of crunch and a bit of a cinnamon flavoring.  BTW in my red velvet recipe I substitute apple sauce vs. oil and it ends up being a really nice and light texture.  Also even with the whipped topping and crushed graham crackers it's 200 cals a slice!!  And it's a pretty big slice too hehe :) (BTW if you were wondering a normal slice of red velvet w/ cream cheese frosting is between 400 to 600 cals.)


OM NOM NOM!! :) 

And that ends The Hub's Birthday Extravaganza hehe! :) 

(I think I'm going to go and have a slice of this now bahahahahaha :p )

  28. Lisa! I'm gonna kill you very soon for torturing me with your delicious bread and laughing cow cheese! I have those triangular cheese at home too. Whenever my MIL buys them, it gets snapped up so quickly. She usually buys the ham flavoured ones.

    The conversation between you and your hubby is so cute. Hahahaha... Both of you look so cool for winter!

  34. The food looks so yummy! I'm craving french toast now too.. fly over to me? Hahaha :)

  35. Lisaaaaaa!!! Omg you made so much home made goodness for your hubs! Does he get treated everyday like this??? That's cray cray if you do but then again no more target/walmart trips = more time = learn to cook = part of your hubs plan! *dun dun dun"* You and your hubs are so cute and omg I love that he wears scarves! I'm trying to con my bf to wear one now, he's slowly liking the "prep" stuff aka wool sweaters/cardigans hahaha Isn't it funny how men are obsessed with shoes too? I never thought they would until I met my bf and he had more shoes than me. We now argue that I have more shoes but I argue back that my shoes are much cheaper per pair than his! We do this a lot and bring this topic to our clothes too hahaha I shop more often but my shirts don't cost me 200$ geeeezzzzz hahaha

    I think your chanel bag looks so great with the leopard coat! OMG ceiling to floor mirrors in elevator shouts "photo opp!!!" if no one is around of course hahaha but to be honest I'd be scared to go into a elevator by myself like that, I have a *small* fear of elevators. The red velvet cake looks divine and I had no idea that one slice held that many calories! I know what you mean by that added crunch, I'm finicky with my parfaits if they don't have enough crunch to them haha

    I think hair spray makes curls crunchy too! Last time I put it in my hair I made my bf feel the crunch hahahaha it's so uncomfortable I can only spray a bit but then again what's the point -.- Don't worry Lisa, the psl is still at starbucks but hurry back haha sound like a starbucks commercial =S

    As for Coco Chanel it irks me a bit when people put on high airs saying how she was such a classy woman. Her style might have been classy but as a women I'm not too sure even with today's standards!
