Kelly’s Fashion Rule #1

Out-of-work fashionista Kelly Quinn lives by a few simple fashion rules and they’re coming in handy as she revamps the consignment shop she inherited from her grandmother.

Kelly’s fashion rule #1:

Recognize the power of accessories

Never underestimate the power of a scarf or any other accessory. Kelly believes well-chosen accessories can pop any outfit, add a bit of polish or even save even the most haphazard last-minute outfit.

Below is a snippet from MURDER WEARS A LITTLE BLACK DRESS.

What’s your favorite accessory?

What Would Kelly Wear?

New Year’s Eve is tomorrow and I can’t help but wonder what Kelly Quinn would wear to ring in the new year. I have a few options, many I’m confident she’d love, pinned on my Pinterest board, Little Black Dresses. I’m not going to lie, I love the research for this series.

Check out my Pinterest board and here’s a snippet from MURDER WEARS A LITTLE BLACK DRESS between Kelly and her friend, Julie about the recent turn of events at the shop. Julie is trying to help Kelly see the bright side. Not sure if that’s working out.

Kelly may be getting all dressed up for New Year’s Eve but I’ll be in my pajamas. Happy New Year!

Baking

Chocolate-Walnut Biscotti

I’m in the final stages of my Christmas cookie baking. Just a few more to bake and then I can package up the cookie tins and make my deliveries. 🙂 This past weekend the Cozy Mystery Crew held it’s first Virtual Cookie Exchange and I shared a recipe and also posted a few photos of my baking in progress and I had a request for this recipe so here it is.

Chocolate Walnut Biscotti

I love biscotti. And there’s nothing like homemade biscotti. Nope. This cookie I dip into a pool of bittersweet chocolate and then when it’s hardened, I dip it into my coffee or tea and it’s heaven!!!

If you decide to make this recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Recipe Roundup

24 Days of Christmas cookies days 1-7

Happy Fri-yay!!!

Today I’m going to do a quick round-up of the cookies I’ve shared on my Facebook author page. During my Coffee & Chat post earlier this week I mentioned my 24 Days of Christmas Cookies. From the first of the month right up to the twenty-fourth I’ll be sharing a cookie recipe from a food blog. I thought it would be fun to discover some new cookies and new food blogs. I know not all of my friends are on Facebook so each week I’ll recap the recipes I’ve shared with links to them.

Day 1 –
Let’s begin with Orange-Cranberry Shortbread cookies from Recipes From a Pantry. What part of the cookie name doesn’t sound delicious?
Day 2 –
Sugar Swirl Cookies from A Bride on a Budget. Doesn’t that sound like a fun cookie?
Day 3 –
Gingerbread Yule Log Cookies from Food Meanderings.Quite a mouthful but this cookie was featured in Taste of Home Magazine’s special Collectors Edition: The Ultimate Cookie Swap, so it’ a tasty mouthful.
Day 4 –
Christmas Sprinkle Cookies from The Olive Blogger. Who doesn’t love a sprinkle cookie?
Day 5 –
Candy Cane Kiss Cookies from Crayons and Cravings. This little cookie will make you smile.
Day 6 –
Holy Cannoli Cookies from the Snappy Gourmet. We’ve already established I love a cute name for a cookie and this one has me dying to bake these cookies.
Day 7 –
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies form Moore or Less Cooking.I love a good crinkle cookie and this one with a caramel filling has my full attention.

Ready to bake yet? I know I am. 🙂

Happy Baking!
