Rachel Zoe Halloween Costume

Still haven't figured out your Halloween costume yet? 
Well, I have just the costume for you to make everyone go b-a-n-a-n-a-s! 

 Last year I dressed up as the fabulous Rachel Zoe! Although I was scrubbing the red lip stain off my face for a week, it is quite fun to act like her for an evening :) 
It's pretty easy & most of the items are probably already in your closet or can be found at Forever 21.  Be sure to watch a few episodes of the Rachel Zoe Project to brush up on her  infamous lingo! 
B A N A N A S ! ! !

The Essentials:
High black boots
Huge diamond ring
loads of gold jewelry (bangles, necklaces, earrings, watch)
Oversized circular sunnies
Bright red lip (always have your mouth slightly open)
Fur jacket or vest
simple black or leopard print top
Black pants or leggings
Big floppy hat or fedora
Messy beach wave curls 

Bonus Points: 
Dress up your other half as her shaggy haired husband, Rodger or your little boy as her fedora wearing son, Skyler!

Here's some inspiration:

Oreo Infused Brownies

In the mood for some chocolatey goodness?  
Whip up these super easy Oreo Infused Brownies, which only takes about an hour!



Ingredients: 
Brownie box
Oreo's
Chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven and make brownie batter per box instructions  
Pour half of batter into bottom of the pan
Add one layer of Oreo's on top of the brownie mix
Pour the rest of the brownie batter over the Oreo's
 {don't worry if the Oreo's aren't completely coated with the brownie mix, they'll turn out just fine!} 
Sprinkle with a handful of semisweet chocolate chips
Depending on the size of your pan, bake for 30-45 minutes

Now, go pour yourself a nice big glass of milk and enjoy the chocolatey Oreo surprise in your brownie!
