Soup’s On

It’s been a mild winter most everywhere, but right now my part of the country is in the coldest week yet. And that means I’m craving one thing (well two, because chocolate never counts) – soup! I have my cast iron pot and my trusty immersion blender on hand and fear no combination. (As always, click on the image to go to the recipe!)

Win it: Beso

You’ve heard of Beso, yes? It’s a sort of genius (if I do say so myself) site that scours the web for the absolute best things to buy, making it that much easier for you to shop your favorites all in one place. They also make it possible to create collections and save oodles of your favorites – you know, for when you get that bonus or hit the lottery or decide that pair of shoes is more important than not eating ramen all week. That’s my A Night On the Town collection up above and I’m seriously crushing on that botier Misha convertible clutch. I love how it adds a little pop of color to the otherwise black and gold outfit.

Now here’s the really great thing – you have the chance to create and win a collection of your own creation! 

Here’s How to Enter:
1. Head over to Beso and create an account if you don’t have one already.
2. Build your own shopping collection.
3. Comment below and share your link!

TIP: To create a collection, search around the site and click the + symbol next to each product and select Add to New Collection. Continue to shop, shop, shop! Check out mine for inspiration.

* Open to US residents, 18 and older. Contest ends 2/13/12. One entry per person. Contest valued at $150. Giveaway rules and disclosures.

Dip Away

There’s something about January and playoff football that has me dip crazy. Oh, who am I kidding, I’m always up for the stuff. In fact, I actually want to have a dip party. You know, everyone brings a separate concoction and we chow. Grand idea, no?
