Shake of the week>>

Hello all!
I have been really absent from my little cute fashion blog that I love, but have been lacking of time to give it a little bit more of attention as I would want to. Life is just like that.
To celebrate my brief return and even though it's not the official day for the "shake of the week" I thought it would be great to come back and shake all that glam again. It was time to fill up this blog with sweet treats of fashion, and what a better way to kickoff the season, with my very best fav drink. And this said....

Fancy for a drink?
Check out the drink of the week and get fashionably inspired >>


[The shake]:

Pumpkin Spice Latte

To make it simple, go to Starbucks (no intent for advertising). But seriously, I stop there almost every day to have this seasonal drink. Lo-ve it!
Anyways, if you're up to a homemade one, here it goes:

makes 1-2 servings
Ingredients:
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons canned pumpkin OR 1 teaspoon of Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup (your choice)
2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute - you can halve this amount
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1-2 shots espresso (about 1/4 cup of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee if you don't have an espresso machine.)
Directions:
In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice, transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don't have a blender, don't worry about it - just whisk the mixture really well with a wire whisk.
Pour into a large mug or two mugs. Add the espresso on top.
Optional: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top.

[The fashion]:

Soooo in love with chunky sweaters. And to balance off the volume, choose some little leather shorts. Here is the Pumpkin Fall look of the day: PAUL & JOE Debroca Chunky Knit Sweater, Tibi Leather shorts, Rupert Sanderson Black Suede and Black Patent Platform Ankle boots, Proenza Schouler PS11 Mini Classic textured-leather shoulder bag, Arielle de Pinto Décolleté Shard Necklace, Wendy Mink Gold Druzy Ring, Karen Walker Sunglasses.
