Chocolate Lava

I (Isabelle) woke up with a crazy chocolate craving and decided to find a solution instantly. I'd had this recipe bookmarked for awhile and figured it would be perfect. These were ready to eat in under half an hour, which has made them a go-to from now on. And they were absolutely delicious!

School likes to interrupt the most interesting classes with a fire drill, resulting in us outside in the freezing cold. And, with absolutely nothing to do but to wait, we figured we would take pictures! Again, you see my oxfords, really I promise I have a lot more shoes than this... a lot. I just really really love these shoes. Another fetish of mine besides these overly worn oxfords? Zippers. I just adore a good exposed zipper, like on this classic sweater.

January in Chicago means weekly snowfall and sub-zero temperatures, which make it difficult to stay warm enough to function. Luckily, the world has puffer jackets. I absolutely love this one because it's incredibly warm without adding bulk. This top adds a great pop of color to an otherwise gray and white outfit and sporting a little New Yorker love never hurt anyone, right?

Happy New Year! We hope that everyone had a fantastic 2011 and will have an even greater 2012. Here's to sequins, sparkles, and amazing new memories in twenty twelve!
