Foodie Friday: Hot Fudge Oreo Cupcakes for JT Birthday!!

ImageAt Muse Me Style we are celebrating the one and only Justin Timberlake! Mr. Sexy Back just turned 33 years young today! We want to make a special treat for him! Here is the best recipe for the Hot Fudge Oreo Cupcakes!


Ingredients








































1 lb bag of oreos
¼cup butter - melted
Ice Cream - Favorite flavor
Tub of cool whip
Topping:
1cup chocolate chips
1cube butter
1tsp vanilla
1can sweetened condensed milk

Directions




Need a cup cake pan, lined with cup cake liners Smash oreos in a bag into chunks and crumbs - put into a bowl Add the melted butter and mix up Press crumbs firmly in bottom of cup. I used about 2 tablespoons per cup. Reserve at least 1 cup of the crumbs for later. Take an ice cream scoop and plop a scoop into each cup. I used Vanilla, but you can use any flavor Ice Cream you like. Use some of those reserved crumbs now - sprinkle over the tops Place about 2 tablespoons cool whip on top of the oreo ice cream mixture Now place that cupcake pan in your freezer. Topping: Mix together over low heat in a saucepan, until melted and combined (all topping ingredients) Once the Hot Fudge is all creamy and melted together. Pour about 1/2 cup of it into a little baggie. Let that bag of Hot Fudge cool for about 10 minutes. You don't want it Hot! *I pour mine right into the baggie, then place it in the fridge for 10 minutes. Once your Hot Fudge has cooled: GO GRAB YOUR FROZEN TREATS FROM THE FREEZER. Grab a little pair of scissors Snip a small corner of the fudge bag for drizzling. Drizzle that yummy Hot Fudge over the top of the Frozen Cream. Use as much as you like, but don't spill it over the sides of the paper cups. They will be messy to remove later if you do. Place the pan uncovered in the Freezer for several hours. When you are ready to serve them, simply . . . Let soften ever so slightly, Remove the paper liners and eat!

{Trendy vs Spendy} Designer-Inspired Ankle Boots

I wrote this post for Trend Hungry. See the rest of the post here.

Ankle boots and booties are an easy to wear shoe. This transitional shoe comes in a variety of designs, so they can be worn year round. There’s a pair to suit skinnies, jeans, dresses, or a skirt.

I’ve spotted three budget-friendly pairs that are just as stunning as these designer pairs. Below are three types – everyday wear, stiletto, and peep toe.

booties

1. Everyday Wear


Suede booties are perfect to slip on for an everyday casual chic look. Wear under a wide-leg jean or cuff your skinnies and let the boots be a focal point.

Nine West Otilla Pull On Booties for $139 now marked down to $49.99 vs Rag & Bone Classic Newbury Booties for $495

2. The Stiletto


Layer with a black tight for long, sexy legs.

Michael Antonio Mains Bootie for $59 now marked down to $44.95 vs Barbara Bui Smooth Leather Ankle Bootie for $780

3. Peep Toe


Layer a fun tight for a peep of personality on a chilly day or save this style for a warmer temp.

Miss KG Black Peep Ankle Boots for $135 now marked down to $39 vs Burberry Peep Toe Booties for $750 now marked down to $525

My favorite type is the stiletto. I love to wear them with my favorite pair of skinny jeans for a night out. What’s your favorite type of ankle boot or bootie? Share how you’d style this shoe in the comments below!

Polar Vortex - Snow Day Survival Style

I didn't think the storm would be THAT bad. Boy, was I wrong! Silly me, I walked out in classic black Keds (definitely not snow appropriate)...yes, I changed to boots.

Hmmm...I wonder what Chauncey's wearing today. Apparently, it's 65 - 70 degrees in San Francisco. She's sick in bed :( and I hope she feels better soon.

It has been snowing for over 10 hours, so here's what I wore to stay toasty during  blizzard Janus (...since when did they start naming snow storms?):

1. C.Wonder knit cable beanie with fur topper (similar C. Wonder hat here or ASOS faux fur pom beanie here)

2. Striped scarf (similar LOFT scarf here)

3. Betsey Johnson hooded wool coat with heart twisty toggles (old, similar coats here)

4.  Black Hunter Original Tall Rain Boots with Pink Welly Fleece Boot Socks (old, similar here)

Also, no snow day is complete without hot chocolate & oversized marshmallows. Mmmmmm! 

Stay warm!

Trends to Die in 2013

I wrote this post for TrendHungry.com. See it here.


2013 was full of fabulous and not so fabulous fashion trends. It’s the beginning of a new year and I’m crossing my fingers that these five trends will die out this year. Do you agree? Do tell in the comments below!



5. Overalls


How did overalls become 2013’s latest trend? Overalls remind me of playgrounds and farming. This denim piece should have stayed in the ‘90s and only come in children sizes.

6 slices Sara Lee 40 calorie whole wheat bread

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon parsley

3 cloves minced garlic

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees

2. Combine salt, pepper, parsley, and minced garlic

4. Spread the bread out onto a cookie sheet lined with foil (make sure to use non-stick spray on the foil).

Breakfast Salad:

BeCVstHIcAAUSsd.jpg-large

Lately, I've been eating breakfast salads. I get super hungry in the mornings and found out these keep me full until lunch. My salad is made of mixed greens, slices of red onion, smoked salmon, and roma tomatoes. I don't use salad dressing. Instead, I poach an egg and use the yolk as "dressing" (the egg also adds protein).

Happy 40th Birthday Kate Moss!

Happy 40th birthday Kate Moss. People say when men age, they start looking better and when women age, their beauty begins to fade away. I have to disagree...look at Kate Moss! I had no idea she turned 40. She has aged gracefully, and hope I do the same.

Kate Moss is a muse in the fashion industry. She was discovered when she was 14 in 1988 and started to become well known in the 1990's. According to W Magazine, by 2003 she has been on 15 of their covers. Fast forward to 2013, and this super model has been on 24 of their covers.

Also, through Twitter, I found out she's designing a line for TopShop that will be sold at Nordstroms. Her line will be debuted in April 2014! Yay!

Trendy vs. Spendy: Valentino, Jimmy Choo, and Prada Black Pumps

The classic black pump is a staple to a lady’s wardrobe. Just like their counterpart, the little black dress, the classic black pump is timeless and versatile. These pumps can be worn so many ways and for so many occasions, so they’re a wardrobe essential. The right pair can make a huge difference to compliment an outfit.

I’ve separated my favorites in three categories – pointy, rounded, and party pumps.

Snow day street style...featuring fur coats, long boots, and warm accessories

Happy 2014! The east coast is getting way too cold. In the past week, I've experienced 70 degrees in Silicon Valley, 5 degrees in the Catskills, and 16 degrees in Philadelphia.

Right now, I'm in Philly and the Nor'easter has brought us several inches of snow...and counting. I hate being cold and I hate wearing frumpy clothing. I never know what to wear in this type of weather, so I put together a snow day outfit.
