Style by OK Chick

Fall is in the air, and I love it! Have I ever told you that Fall is my favorite season? Oh, I've mentioned that fact. Sorry.

One of the things I love about Fall is the clothes selection. I'm a fan of long sleeve shirts and hoodies. I'm also a big fan of vest. Yup, vest. Here are some of my favorites....

Marshmallow everyday vest...

Sleek running vest....

Stylish work vest...
As you can see, I have a vest for all occasions. Vest are the perfect alternative to a jacket. If you don't want to carry around a jacket, but need a little something to stay warm. You wear a vest. It keeps you warm, but isn't as bulky as a jacket. Unless you are wearing the marshmallow vest. I will admit it is a bit bulky, but it's so cute and it's very warm. SO, everyone go out and enjoy the vest weather!

Chicago

I spent 46 hours in this wonderful city....

If you can not tell from the above picture or the title of this post, my family and I were in Chicago. I'm sad no one in Blogger World guessed Chicago. Bummer. I had a great prize.

Folks, Chicago is an awesome town! I have officially ranked it #4 on my Favorite Places in the Whole Wide World. Sorry Nashville, you've been bumped.

I'll try to get pictures posted in the near future. Sister #2 has some great pictures of the city.
There's also great pictures of the Sisters and I reenacting one of my favorite scenes from a movie...

Ok, maybe not. The Sisters would not be my backup dancers, and a leopard sweater vest is not my best look.

And...she's off

My bags are packed, again.

I'm on vacation, again.

You guess the location?

I'll give you a hint....
I've never been to this town.

To encourage audience participation....
I'll bring the winner back a souvenir.

Good luck!


PS- You know I do not own Louis Vuitton suitcases, right? I clearly cannot afford anything with the famous logo, knock-off included.

California Dreamin'

Last night I left these beautiful sites.....







If you have not been to San Fran, you need to go. The weather is perfect 10 months out of the year and they have great food. The shopping isn't half bad either, but I didn't have time to hit any stores. I was too busy walking the streets, biking Golden Gate Bridge, and visiting Farmer's Markets.

I'm on vacation.

You guess the location.

Ramblings...

Another month, which means another post with some Ramblings. Enjoy.

This morning I heard an interview with Kim Kardashian. Ryan Seacrest asked Kim her thoughts on moving to OKC if her husband was traded to Thunder. Do you know what her response was to the question? OKC Thunder, is that a real team? Folks, I pray that Kim does not move to OKC. Oklahoma might be in the Midwest, and we might be friendly people. But, we do not tolerate ignorance when it comes to our sports.

Last weekend I went to a play with a fellow blogger. Her and her husband were kind enough to let me tag along. Isn't that sweet? I had a great time hanging out with her in real life. You know, opposed to this fake cyber life.

Weekend Update: I cooked/baked everything on my To Do List. Sadly, I do not have pictures. Calm down, it will be ok. Everyone just use your imagination. You'll be fine. I highly recommend the Pumpkin Biscuits. They were pretty good.

Whole Foods finally decided to come to OKC. Tomorrow is the grand opening. I cannot even imagine the traffic when this place opens. Oklahoma might be one of the fattest cities in the country, but we do enjoy our overpriced health foods!

Sadly, I have no more Ramblings for you. I feel this month's Ramblings are a bit weak. I do apologize.

I love the weekend

It's only Thursday and I am already plotting my weekend. This weekend is the OU/TX football game, which means my state will pretty much shut down for the weekend. I'm not kidding. There is no life outside of OU/TX football. Since nothing else will be taking place this weekend, I'm planning to cook and bake all kinds of delicious foods. I've listed some of things I plan to make this weekend....

Pumpkin Biscuits
Peanut Butter Cheese Ball
Cabbage Stew- my grandma's recipe, sorry she doesn't blog
Skinny Elvis Sandwich
Breakfast Quesadillas

If everything goes to plan I will have an awesome meal every 4 hours. HA! Here's to the weekend and all the calories that will come with it.

I love to run

The month of September I ran a race almost every weekend. It was kind of fun. Well, I thought it was fun. I understand it might not be your cup of tea. Below are pictures from two of the races.

The second race I ran was in Norman, home of the Sooners. I enjoyed this race for the pure fact that we ran through OU's campus and ended on the football field. My running partners for this race were KC along with one of her boys. You can tell Little Man was pumped to be there. I must say Little Man did well on his first 5K. He slept two of the miles.


The third race was Warrior Dash. As you can see from the picture, the aftermath of climbing a mountain, jumping over barbwire, running over cars, and climbing a few walls is a bit muddy.
Did I mention the fire we jumped over at the end?

Oh I know, I am a Rock Star!

I love Fall

It's fall. When fall arrives I start making my favorite Spice Pumpkin Muffins. The recipe is easy. The result is low-fat goodness. Below is the recipe...


The end!

I told you it was easy! It requires 2 ingredients.

Make them, eat them, love them.
