Hey Dolls!
As your getting ready for Lady GaGa's upcoming tour (starting April 27th!) the "2012 Born This Way Ball Tour".. check out some brand new photo's of GaGa's latest team up with Versace!
She will be once again collaborating with Giorgio Armani for costume design.
The two have paired up in 2010 to create beautiful pieces.. Also for her Grammy Awards ceremony and again for some pieces in her "Monster Ball Tour".
As you can see from the photo above.. a little sneak peak into the soon to be seen costumes.
Also flare.com reports that "one of the four specially designed pieces will be garnished with PVC piping connected by metal studs and accessorized with thigh-high robotic boots."
I love all the looks and very excited for her newest tour!
My favorite piece is the 3rd one! SO HOT!!!

Hey Everyone!
Good afternoon and welcome to Books With Simi.. today's review will be on the book released April 2012.. titled "350 best vegan recipes" By Deb Roussou.
Back in March I reviewed a cookbook about Vegetarian Cooking.. so now this month I have a wonderful Vegan one to talk about!
408 pages and 24 color photographs are in this smooth and appealing cookbook..
If your looking for a cookbook to get you inspired into the Vegan lifestyle or if you need more information about vegan cooking read up all in this release.
I love how it teaches you great tips/serving sizes and the tools and equipment you need to cook Vegan and pantry supplies you should have. Also menu suggestions and how to cook Vegan from scratch.. which is designed to eliminate the need to purchase many hard to find expensive vegan ingredients, artisan breads! (love these), Small plate starters, Breakfast Anytime, Breads Rolls and Crackers, Hot Vegetables and Cool Salads, The Mains, Beans, Pasta and Grains, Soups, Chili's and Curries, Sauces, Dips and Spreads, Dressings and Spice Blends, Cocktails, Drinks and Smoothies, (and the lovely) Sweets.
My favorite recipes are...
* Summertime Zucchini Pesto Lasagna
* Roasted Corn Chowder
* Basil Lemon Gremolata Pesto
* Ranch Dressing
* Vegetable Paella
* Toasted Okra
* Mocha Cupcakes with Almond Icing and Pistachio Brittle
* Horseradish Mustard and Panko - Encrusted Tofu
* Citrus Israeli Couscous
* Curried Lime Crispy Temph
* Creamy Mayonnaise
* Grilled Vegetable Sandwich with Garlic Aioli
* Basil Pizza Dough (EXCELLENT!)
* Quick Cherry Tomato and Pesto Pizza
* Stuffed Sopapillas
* Spelt Stuffed Eggplant with Indian Spices
* Cinnamon-Almond Rice Pudding
* Sweet Tart Smoothie
* Watermelon Limeade
* Holiday Nut Nog
* Chocolate Cherry Brownies
* Blackberry Mint Sorbet

What a AMAZING selection of recipes right? and thats JUST A FEW.
Pick up a copy of this book for a friend or family member who is Vegan!
Here is a a couple of tips from the book..

* Roasted Garlic - is a simple matter, to roast garlic trim the top of the head just enough to expose the cloves. Place on a large square of foil, drizzle with olive oil, thyme, basil, oregano and/or rosemary, wrap the foil up-to enfold the garlic and bake in s 350* (180c) oven until tender, about 45 minutes.

* Bananas - when they start to become over ripe, place in the freezer for use in your morning smoothie.

Good Girl


Hey Dolls!
A fashion post today!
This look is inspired by my one of my favorite songs at the moment..
"Good Girl" by Carrie Underwood.
I call this look "Good Girl".
The jewelry is gold/black with pops pastel colors.
You can choose whatever makeup style you prefer. For lips use.. a light pink.
For nails I used the shade "Camera" by the newest collection from Essie.
Pastel shoes add the nicest touch to this look.
The fragrance/perfume you can choose from two "Jimmy Choo" or "DKNY Sweet Delicious Pink Macaroon"
For the hairstyle you can style it in big curls or waves.
Hope you like it!
