This pic was actually taken a few weeks ago and I forgot to post it then. It is WAY too cold to be wearing this outfit now! I think I had my hair rolled up into a ball on the top of my head here. It sorta looks ridiculous because it's so big! This is another attempt at 'leggings as pants' for me...I think this also worked out well :D You can see my little one getting shade from the sun in his fishermans hat ha ha!</div>

I hope you have a spooky day today! Last week at work I had a pumpkin carving morning with some of the members. It was the first time they had ever carved a pumpkin and they really enjoyed it! I decided to make use of the leftover pieces and make them some pumpkin pie for the monthly social we were having a few days later. I've never made pumpkin pie with real puree...always the canned Libbys filling. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to get it to taste as sweet. Well, there was no reason to fear. They came out awesome and here's the <a href="http://www.muybuenocookbook.com/2011/11/mini-pumpkin-pies-for-thanksgiving/" target="_blank">link</a> to the recipe I used. I originally wanted to do the bite sized ones on <a href="http://www.bakerella.com/pumpkin-pie-bites/" target="_blank">Bakerella</a> but coudn't find a mini muffin tin and wanted to use evaporated milk instead of cream cheese. I'm really excited to know that if my annual Thanksgiving care package doesn't make it from home then I can improvise with some real pumpkins :D</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's an update on my climbing clematis plants. One on the left is doing pretty well. There were about 3 more blooms a few days after I took these photos. The one on the right...not so much. It is growing pretty steadily but not climbing up the tree. We've tied ribbon around the trunks to try to assist them but I think we might be out of luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they don't die!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't often wear leggings as pants, in fact I can count the times on one hand. Even in this outfit I'm not sure it qualifies (well obviously it counts since I'm not standing in my knickers!) because my top is long so it's covering up my bum. I think my issue with wearing leggings as pants is that I just don't feel comfortable having my 'bits' on show like that! I always feel slightly self conscious. I've noticed that I don't like the crotch area of my pants (leggings, jeans, etc) to show either and I much prefer longer tops. I have refused to by tops that I really like because they were too short. This didn't used to be the case and I'm not sure when the shift happened. Do you have any habits like that?</div>

I went out for drinks with some friends in Lincoln. I bought this dress on ebay not long ago. It ended up being quite short! Luckily it was a cool day so I was able to wear leggings with it. I'm not sure how flattering the rouching is though. I do love the bedazzled shoes I also bought on ebay!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Thursday I had the day off from work. Little one was pretty good most of the day and took a big long nap! I decided to use up a few bananas I had before they went too bad. I found a recipe for Banana and Peanut Butter muffins <a href="http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/573813" target="_blank">here</a>. It's by Rachel Allen, an Irish chef. Her recipe does not call for any frosting or extra decoration (because I suppose they are muffins and not cupcakes...) but I just thought that peanut butter begs to be paired with Nutella so I added some!</div>

The finished product! I think they look really yummy with the frosting and extra dried banana chips as decoration. I must admit that they weren't as sweet as I had hoped they would be. I don't think the recipe calls for enough sugar or peanut butter so if I make them again, I would probably double the amounts of both. I would also leave out the oats because they didn't really add anything to the muffins in my opinion! Despite the gripes, everyone who had one said they were great :D</div>

I went down to Houston recently for my good friend Maureen's bachelorette party. I found the perfect dress for the bachelorette party at Plato's closet! I love the peplum shape! I added Sofft heels so that I could dance the night away. We ended up at Crush Wine Bar's rooftop dance floor with a Class of 1982 dance reunion.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was an outfit I wore on a night out with a few girlfriends. We sampled some food at a tapas bar and enjoyed (too much) wine. I somehow managed not to end up with a nasty wine-hangover the next day so I was delighted with myself! I'm not sure why my blazer looks like it's really dusty in the front..I know it wasn't!! Maybe a spot on my camera? Hm...it has been a long time since I've worn heels that high (and they aren't even skyscraper height!) so my poor feet were in need of some tlc afterwards!</div>

So season three of Downton Abbey started a few weeks ago. I'm so obsessed with this show! I love period drama/romance films and this is just superb. I found a lovely site with a collection of Downton inspired pieces to add to your wardrobe. Check it out <a href="http://www.lady.co.uk/style/fashion/1003-downton-delights" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />

<br />
And if you are so inclined there is an actual (well 'unofficial') cookbook featuring dishes from Downton Abbey's kitchen! Price is a bit steep I think but here's a<a href="http://www.changinghands.com/book/9781440538919" target="_blank"> link</a> to check it out yourself! There are some very yummy sounding treats to try from Mrs. Patmore!<br />

I love the pattern, but the large purple jewels were a bid of a surprise! It's hard to see all of the details in those pics! I wore the maxi dress, and sandals. I also did a bit of an updo for my casual Friday look. It's called the "braided roll-up" you can learn how to do it on "<a href="http://theroserecord.blogspot.com/2012/08/braided-roll-up.html">The Rose Record</a>". <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here's the post that was meant to go up Saturday. I scheduled the wrong date when I originally did it..oops! As promised, here's my celebrity meeting! My brother-in-law got married a few weeks ago and Nicky Byrne from <a href="http://www.westlife.com/global/frontpage?cmdr=ip2country.detected" target="_blank">Westlife</a> is married to his new wife's cousin. Now, for those of you who haven't heard of them, Westlife is probably the biggest boyband to come out of Ireland. When we discovered he was there we naturally insisted on getting a snap with him. He was actually lovely and really friendly! Oh and that room key in my bust is MINE..no pockets made me improvise ha ha!</div>
