It’s Friday night and you need an awesome, different appetizer.  Why not some vegan baked zucchini fritters.  This is from one of my best friend’s blogs, www.partylikeavegan.com. She is an amazing cook and specializes in healthy, vegan recipes.

Layering is such a trend for fall because it is cute, comfy, and convenient.  You can still wear your summer shirts while layering your fall tops and coming up with a whole different look for your light weight tanks.  And layering is not just for the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsens of the world, anyone can pull it off.  One tip: it’s like overtweezing, do not over layer. 🙂

Lately there have been so many hair trends from feather extentions, tinsel strands, and even crimping is coming back.  Last week I decided to try the hair tinsel.  Since I am blonde, I tried the gold ones.  They are super cute but don’t last very long-maybe a week.  I had them tied in by a hairdresser and they were pretty cheap- $2 per strand.  However, I know you can get your own tinsel and tie them in yourself.  Throw a funky hair party where you can get your friends together and try something a little out of the ordinary with your hair that is not permanent.

We all know that your clothes, jewelry, and shoes are a huge part of your personal style.  But how about your gadgets?  From iPhones, iPods, and laptops, these every day necessities are becoming a part of our style as well.  Animal print, bedazzled, and designer cases for phones and laptops are everywhere. What is your favorite techcessory? ❤

If you are from New England, you have heard of the Big E. {Sept 16-Oct. 2nd} It’s sort of like a rite of passage for us New Englanders.  It’s all about getting together and trying the deliciously unhealthy food.  So make sure you eat nothing else the week you go there.  From kettle popcorn to fried oreos, you can find pretty much anything fried, even kool-aid!  Enjoy the options below, courtesy of www.courant.com. I know, I know I just did a post on healthy snacks yesterday!
