A Classic Never Fails: Betty Ross

Betty Ross captured Bruce Banner's (a.k.a The HULK) heart with her sweet, gentle (sometimes), and winning personality. And we all love her for it! But, she also won our hearts for her cute, classic sense of style.

When we first see Betty in The Incredible Hulk, she has donned a wrap dress. The print is bold, but Betty looks feminine and delightful!

It's lovely for on campus. I approve! :P

Neutrals are Betty's best friends. And her trench coat is perhaps her greatest piece.

Her skinny jeans and flats paired with a leather "Jack Bag" (Messenger bag for those of you who don't speak 24) complete her look.

Okay. I'll admit it. This outfit below is what made me love Betty's style. I know some who disagree with me, but I think she looks adorable. Black n' White is classic, timeless. And Betty is made for it. A pin tuck blouse, pencil skirt, and pumps. *Sigh*


Betty's glasses are a fav of mine too. Those dark frames are perfect complement to her face.

Betty loves black. And it loves her too.

Her button up blouse paired w/a dark wash jean is great for "on the run." Yet, she still manages to look nice.

Click on the picture below... Aren't her shoes interesting? I can't decided whether I LOVE them... Or I'm indifferent. Thoughts?

Alright, you caught me. None of the outfits below are Betty's. They belong to Liv Tyler. Production shots from The Incredible Hulk.

But isn't Liv's sweater/leggings combo cute? I love the colors.

And I fell hook, line, and sinker for this hat. Too fun!


Without a doubt, Betty has some cute, fashiony tips. Mmm, I think I need to go shopping. :)

Pretty Self-Explanatory

Beyond Sherwood Forest

Girls -- We have to get together and watch this!

Success!

Mrs. Semel's Shredded Potato Casserole was a huge hit! Even though I put in WAY too much pepper... Mm, spicy!! Mental note for next time: 1/3 - 1/2 tsp pepper. :) Definitely give this recipe a try -- your family will love it!

Chuck continued

Thanks to Dee, I received the 2nd season of Pushing Daises for Christmas. Seeing Chuck's outfits "up close and personal" was a pure delight! And I found this little gem:



I love the 60's print. :)
Hopefully, my next fashiony post should occur this week. Stay tuned.

A Fabulous Christmas Day

A Christmas day filled with the nativity story, singing, presents, food, fellowship, and games is wonderful. I hope you all had a very merry -- like I did!

Merry Christmas!!

My prayer for my blog is that it helps and builds each of you up according to your needs. Merry Christmas to my dear readers and all who stumble upon this blog. May God bless you and help you to remember the reason for the season!

Christmas Eve Service

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and lineage of David.

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ~Taken from Luke 2

A Few More Sleeps Til' Christmas

Snowed In?

During the "severe" snow storm this weekend, I had the opportunity to spend 24hrs with the sweetest friends a girl could have...

Kiri's birthday... See yesterday's post :)

Just chatting

Kes playing with Bailey

Okay, we didn't actually get snowed in, but it sounds more exciting yes? :P

Happy Birthday, Debe!

Happy Birthday my dear friend!

And you can now officially join the "Old" Club again... I had a awesome time spending the day with you. Love ya!

Santa's Cookies

Yum Yum, er... Ho ho ho?

It is that time of year again, and what would Christmas be without cookies?! Well, I'll confess that the past few years have been light on the baking end for me. Between finals and other craziness, I've been lax.

But -- This year is going to be different... Starting with Beth's Gingerbread, this year's cookies are off to a great start. Today's cookie of choice was chocolate pretzels, if they can be called cookies. :)

Hersey Kisses, Pretzels, and M&M's. Tasty!

Daniel was nice enough to unwrap the kisses for me

All I Want for Christmas

Packages are again collecting under our tree. Giving gifts is a special part of the Christmas season - Especially as we remember the gift of God's Son.

"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14

End of Semester Finals

This is what the end of Christmastime finals looks like to me...

Got the Studyin' Blues?

Yep, it's finals week once again... Gingerbread and Coffee are the cure. Kiri posted Beth's excellent recipe on her blog a couple of years ago. And I finally got the chance to try it! Yummy. :)

Another little Christmas song

E Bella!: Chuck's feminine side

Despite her masculine-ish name, Chuck is anything but! Pushing Daises's Charlotte ("Chuck") Charles enchanted the Pie Maker and delighted viewers. And her clothes are simply scrumptious!

With her sweet, retro styles, Chuck can't go wrong.


Check out those red heels!

I love her hair too!

Her pink, rosy sweater is lovely. And her headband matches nicely.

I really like this knit, yellow dress. The buttons up the front are a nice detail.

Don't Chuck and Ned look cute together?


Isn't Chuck's kerchief adorable?! It reminds me of something my grandmother would wear to keep her hair in place. And the sunglasses are a great touch. ;)


I'm sure what this dress is supposed to look like, but I love it. Cute and whimsical.

I feel the need to watch Pushing Daises again... :P

For those of you who have been waiting for this post... Sorry! Tee hee hee. You know who you are. :-)
