Juicy in New Jersey

I was just browsing Nordstrom's Juicy Couture selection and fell in love with the Juicy Couture Wish Necklace.

Peace signs seem to be really in right now, I've been seeing them everywhere! Maybe I'll buy this necklace to go along with the Victoria's Secret Signature Zip Hoodie with Peace Sign that I've been eyeing. Have you ever noticed how similar Victoria's Secret's PINK and Juicy can be? That's OK with me, because I would gladly spend all my money on both.

On a completely different note, I'm away from school for the weekend to celebrate Labor Day in Keenan's town. It's a huge deal here so I'm looking forward to a lot of New Jersey fun. Last night I followed through on my promise to myself to try a new recipe at least once a week. Instead of just cooking for me and Keenan, I tried out a new Rachael Ray recipe on Justin, Genevieve and Keenan's dad. Besides burgers, Rachael is also known for her creative mac and cheese recipes- and mac and cheese is great for a crowd. I made Mac and Cheese Lorraine because I love quiche Lorraine and though this would be delicious. Overall everyone seemed to enjoy it, although I wish the flavor could have been a little stronger. Maybe this was because I used Swiss cheese instead of the ridiculously expensive Gruyere! However, the bacon went perfectly with the macaroni and next time I'll be sure to use more. I'm looking forward to trying out a new recipe next week, in my new, tiny NYU kitchen.

I hope everyone has a great holiday :)
