Salted Caramel and Key Lime Cupcakes

2010-09-12T21:01:00.001-04:00

Yesterday I went to Georgetown Cupcake at Bethesda Row. It was well worth the wait! When I visited the cute cupcakery in Bethesda, the line was not as long as I have seen it at the Georgetown location but it definitely wasn't short!

We had the pleasure of tasting the Salted Caramel and Key Lime flavors. These cupcakes were delicious and the Chai Latte was tasty too!

Here is a side shot of the menu with the hot and cold beverages and the flavors of the day! If you follow Georgetown Cupcake on Facebook you can find out the secret flavor of the day. If you are one of the first 100 customers per location to order the secret flavor by name they give it to you for free!

Summer is almost over!

2010-09-09T22:29:00.000-04:00

Okay... I'll admit it. I ran outside as soon as it started to get warm and left everything behind! I was weak after the rough winter we had and the sun was calling my name! :) However, I have gotten all of that out of my system and I am back to blogging!

So for my first returning post, I decided to share some photos that I took with my cell phone at Miami Beach this past weekend! It felt good to get away, lay in the sand, and enjoy the sun! I really enjoyed myself. I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend too! Here is another photo of the resort where we stayed. It was so relaxing!

I had such a soothing experience visiting the spa and taking in the beautiful scenery, while writing in my journal and reflecting on my goals for the rest of 2010. I look forward to sharing some of those goals with you as I move forward!

Single Awareness Day

2010-02-14T23:17:00.000-05:00

Although I am sure Single Awareness Day, also known as SAD, a humorous alternative for Valentine's Day has been around for awhile, I recently heard of it a couple years ago. By the way, I personally think the acronym is hilarious!

Love and Sonnets print by LoveSugar

I was talking to someone today and I can completely understand why some of us "single people" can get bummed out on Valentine's Day but for years I've thought of it as an opportunity to take the emphasis off of myself and make someone else smile! I typically give my family members cards and some type of candy or gift on this day to remind them that they are special and loved. It is also a blessing to be able to show love to friends and coworkers who may have recently been through a breakup or some other type of hardship. Everyone needs love and it can make you just as happy (if not happier) to give love as it would to receive love!

Love is Spoken Here print by tuesdaymourning

The scripture below is used very often during wedding ceremonies but it is also something to take into consideration as a single person.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - I Corinthians 13:4-7

love defined cafe mount by hopeink

I am working on showing others love through patience and humility. I plan to refer to this scripture as a way to show love to others not just today but all year long!

Love Card by Strawberry Jam Factory

Resolve to think of Single Awareness Day as a day being single allows you to bless someone else and let them know they are loved. Happy Valentine's Day!

Seven Dresses and Skirts

2010-02-09T18:39:00.012-05:00

As you may already know, I love Etsy. I love shopping on the website and browsing the beautiful items from various sellers. A couple months back one seller in particular caught my eye- Sarah Seven! I love her feminine and flirty designs, not to mention the great photography! You can check out Sarah's Etsy Shop here! I've also included some photos below for your enjoyment!

Calling All Cupcake Snobs!

2010-02-08T18:39:00.029-05:00

I know they are but what am I? Okay, okay, I'm a Cupcake Snob too. I'll admit it! Maybe that is why I love this place! Cupcakes Actually is located in Fairfax, Virginia. Although I haven't visited personally, a wonderful friend of mine kindly brought me a box of these DELICIOUS beauties! :o)

The following photos are by Jennifer Winter from Cupcake Actually's website.

My first favorite: Pucker Up. This one has a real lemon head on top!

Meet Chipaliscious.

He's awesome and smooth and has a secret stash of chocolate chips inside! Yumm!!!

Next up, Mint Julep. This one is definitely a must for all of you chocolate lovers! The mint buttercream on top is amazing!

Simply Red is simply adorable.

How can you resist that little red heart on this red velvet cupcake?

Last but not least is Banana Split. There isn't a professional photo on the website of this one but it was a delicious and soft banana nut bread with caramel on the inside and yummy buttercream frosting that had been dipped in chocolate and drizzled with caramel. It was amazing! Here is a photo of the Banana Split that I took mid-consumption with my cell phone!

I absolutely LOVE the packaging from Cupcakes Actually! These babies are definitely transportable!

My other favorite cupcake spot is located here in Baltimore! The Baltimore Cupcake Company has some truly delicious flavors! Some of my favorites are Vanilla Woo, Key Lime and Cherry Oh. They even have a "happy hour" from 5 p.m. - 6 p.m. where you can get these yummies at a discounted price. Visit soon and often!

Well back to the gym for me. More cupcakes equals more time on the treadmill! I earn my indulgences! Cheers! :o)

While I've Been Away - Paint Project #2

2010-02-06T21:55:00.026-05:00

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I sure am. :o) I wanted to take a few minutes and post another project I worked on towards the end of 2009!

I have some great prints that I collected throughout 2009 that really made me smile and I wanted to finally put them up in my home! However, my search for fun and colorful frames to display the prints in turned up empty. So, you know what they say... If you want something done right, do it yourself! (They give great advice! LOL)

As some of you may know, I spend more than my fair share of dollars and hours in A.C. Moore, JoAnn Fabrics and Michaels craft stores. So, when the the big Black Friday sale hit I knew exactly where I wanted to go to buy my frames... A.C. Moore! I got all four of them for 50% the regular price! Woohoo! :o)

I was unable to find spray paint in all of the colors I wanted, so I used paint samples from Home Depot for the yellow and teal frames. The drying time was longer but it was so worth it! I love the bright colors!

Here is a photo of the original frame before I began painting.

The spray paint took to the metal very well! I love the reflective qualities! Pink spray paint mania! :o)

I decided to use the mirror as an insert for one of the frames. Some of the art may look familiar to you if you are a regular Etsy shopper like I am! The first on the right is by Shelli Dorfe of Studio Mela. I'd had my eye on this print for awhile but wasn't sure where I would display it in my home! Once I figured out where I wanted it to go, I was quickly on Etsy making the purchase!

You may have seen the print directly beneath it online as well! It is well loved by many bloggers and has gotten a lot press. I Love You Blogs and Tea is by Jennifer Ramos of Made By Girl.

The other print is from the Must-Have Boutique rebranding! As I mentioned in another post, this is a custom drawing by Alexa Roy of WhatHeLoves.

I decided to create my own work of art on the mirror!

This is a temporary place holder until I pick up more window paint!

Tada! Here is the finished project!

Erin Fetherston Short Movies

2010-01-02T23:04:00.002-05:00

As much as I adore Erin Fetherston's fashion, I must admit sometimes I don't quite understand the short movies that accompany it. They do a great job of showcasing the beautiful clothes through a type of dark fairytale. The one I found most "interesting" was the Dollhouse video from 2007 that was created to launch Fetherston's Target collection. It is of course fairytale-like with a dash of creepy sadness...

Beautiful Clothing from Erin Fetherston

2010-01-02T22:27:00.012-05:00

I first heard of Erin Fetherston when I was reading Lula Magazine. I absolutelty adore Erin Fetherston's label of feminine attire, including dreamy skirts and dresses with bow & ruffle accents. So many of her designs look like they come from a modern day fairytale. I have inserted some of my favorite looks from her collections below.

Spring 2010

No. 2 - Plunging Halter Dress in Khaki Twill
(This definitely has a resort look to it.)

Spring 2009

No. 32 - Sunset Ombre Cloud Mini-Dress

(I like how the fluffy bottom balances out the straight torso. The bow-cap sleeve is a great accent as well.)

Spring 2009
No. 29 - Gathered Lilac Organza Cloud Hem Dress

(I LOVE the arched pouffy hem! Gourgeous!)

Holiday 2008 - 2009
No. 4 - Black Double Face Satin Bow Jacket with Black Double Face Satin Bow Skirt
(I'm a sucker for cute, fitting jackets with volumious skirts.)

While I've Been Away- Paint Project #1

2010-01-02T22:09:00.013-05:00

I truly didn't mean to be away from the blog for as long as I have! Happy New Year everyone! :o)

At least I haven't been a total slacker! Here is a project I finished early December. I wanted to paint this little table I bought from HomeGoods in November a shade of blue-green.

I already had some paint around the house that I could use that was a lighter shade of blue-green. This is the table after the first coat.

Second coat! Nice but a little too light for me... I had to try again.

So I tried a deeper and brighter color! I wanted something with more ummph! :o)

I only needed a sample of paint from Home Depot! Isn't that amazing! :o)

Tada! Mr. Table is all done! Looking snazzy in his corner... :o)

Dressing Room Dreams

2009-11-01T21:58:00.008-05:00

Lately I've been pretty interested in dressing rooms. I want one. :o) For now I will settle on remodeling my closet but - I will have one some day! Check out some of the dressing rooms I found while daydreaming.

My favorite feature in this dressing room is the accent color inside the shoe area. It really makes the room feminine and special!

Image from Peacock Feathers

I love chandeliers, mirrored furniture and chaises! So, needless to say these two are winners in my book!

Images from Miss Gracious Living

I like the clean and glamorous look from this room. It reminds me of a small boutique.

Meet Snowy Peacock

2009-11-01T21:06:00.006-05:00

Meet the newest addition to the family! Snowy Peacock. :o)

I have found a place for Mr. Peacock on the coffee table. I think he looks nice there. :o)

He is made from pine cones and feathers!

I picked him up from The Floral Studio! I recently had my first visit there and Debbie was very helpful and friendly. Not only does the Floral Studio have beautiful flowers but lots of nice gifts and accessories for the home. If you are ever in the Baltimore area, definitely stop by and check them out!

My 5K Race Experience

2009-10-22T21:40:00.008-04:00

I have to say I had a great time with the 5k! I met some great people and beat my goal! If you would have asked me last year this team if I could see myself running in a race, I would have said absolutely not! But I did it and plan on doing it again. Here are a few photos from race day!

New MHB Branding

2009-10-22T21:20:00.006-04:00

I want to share a couple of images with you from the new identity package for Must-Have Boutique! Early this summer, before I made the decision to close my online store, I had been working with designer Alexa Roy to develop a new look for the shop. I wanted something fun, feminine and colorful and she gave me just that!

I love the branding and Alexa really translated what I wanted into these beautiful images! Now that my shop is closing at the end of the month, I will be using these illustrations for the blog! Check out Alexa's Etsy Shop WhatHeLoves!

My New Favorite Jeans

2009-10-06T23:35:00.003-04:00

Yes, a post about jeans. Not just any jeans. My favorite ones. :o) I bought my second pair of Gap Always Skinny jeans over the weekend. This pair is destructed denim. I am happy to find nice pairs of jeans that fit me (and there is nothing wrong with a little vanity sizing either). LOL In J. Crew and Gap I am a size 4... I think there is something to this vanity sizing thing that makes a woman want to purchase. ;o)

Preparing for a 5k

2009-10-01T00:03:00.002-04:00

Yes, you read that correctly. While away from the blog for awhile, I have been preparing for a 5k. For those that do not know, a 5k (five kilometers) is equivalent to 3.10685596 miles.

I am slowly working my way up.

I am pretty proud of myself because I never really considered myself to be a runner. I have a lot of friends that run all-of-the-time. I am getting better but I am not quite there yet.

One thing I have been working on is building up my thigh muscles. It seems like those muscles get tired before any other part of me does!

Even if I end up walking some of the run I am just excited to be out there! This is definitely something I never expected to see myself doing!

It brings to mind Philippians 3:12-14:

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

Feel free to shoot me an encouraging message as I push myself to keep running/walking to get ready for the race! kara [at] musthaveboutique [dot] com

Shoe Obsessed... Lately

2009-09-30T23:10:00.007-04:00

So, lately I've been into shoes more than usual. Okay, when I say lately I mean a few months! :o)

Here are my latest finds, that have not been purchased... as of yet. As you have probably already noticed, I like to shop. Perhaps blogging will help me to shop less by sharing more... who knows. ;o)

But as a great woman once said:

"I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet."

-Carrie, from Sex and the City

I recently came across this line called Butter. Butter is a fairly new (2007) New York based company that carries adorable shoes. As you can see, I am going through a bows and ruffles phase. :o)

What do you think? Aren't these pretty? :o) They can all be found on Endless.com.

Wickedly Delicious- Yogurt with Personality!

2009-08-22T12:19:00.005-04:00

So, long story short, I like to try different yogurts for breakfast depending upon the weekly sale at Whole Foods. I have tried many but keep coming back to my favorite- Rachel's! The flavor is incredible and it is really good for you! I also love the style and color of the packaging, not to mention the slogan- "wickedly delicious". To think that a yogurt can be "wickedly" anything is hilarious to me...

Lovely Leandra Drumm Switchplates

2009-08-14T21:06:00.000-04:00

Last week I went to Home Depot to purchase new switchplates for my bedroom. I love updating my place and having all of the decor "blend well", so I opted for plain, "stainless steel-esque" switchplates/outlet covers.

When I went to put them on I noticed that the main switchplate was too small to cover the area not painted by the previous owner! So, instead of repainting the entire bedroom (out of the question), I decided to go online and see what creative switchplates were out there to replace my current one. I was having no luck until I came across Drumm Studios!

Enter Leandra Drumm from Ohio... She makes the most creative and whimsical switchplates with handcast lead-free pewter! Check out a few of them below!

Jeffrey Campbell Ruffle Flats

2009-08-04T20:47:00.001-04:00

Okay, I have a confession to make. For the past few weeks, I have been obsessed with a certain shoe. When I say obsessed, I mean constantly looking for different colors and styles! I've googled and searched and read all about these shoes! LOL You may say, hey Kara, they aren't all that to be obsessed over...

I say, hey, I'm a sucker for a ruffle, especially on my feet! I added some below for you to see in different styles and colors! :o)

Tim Walker Photography: The Princess and the Pea

2009-08-04T19:42:00.000-04:00

I have to say that today was I reminded of my love for photography! I am absolutely inspired by the way Tim Walker does it! :o) I have this fascination with fairytales and beautiful things and Tim Walker's photography captures it all!

I love this Princess and the Pea shot I came across as I was browsing the Free People blog! I was there shopping for shoes ( I will show you which ones!) and ended up reading their great blog! :o)

This shot reminds me of the Princess and the Pea bed I saw in March posted on the minor details blog.

Your slim, chic best friend

2008-10-26T23:15:00.000-04:00

The tampon tube is my new best friend! I often have to dig into my purse looking for things (a pen to jot down something quickly, change at the register or my ringing cell phone). It is such a relief to no longer have to worry about random tampons falling out or getting destroyed in my purse!

These tampon tubes are a definite investment and they are so cute! Best of all no one knows what they are unless they ask! Check them out at Must-Have Boutique for only $16. They fit two regular tampons.
