Mac and Cheese Tacos

I know, crazy but I couldn't resist making these once I spotted the recipe

Ingredients:

1lb lean ground beef

1 1.25 ounce packet hot taco seasoning mix

hard or soft taco shells

1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni

1/8 cup butter

1/8 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar

pepper to taste

garnish with green onions, sliced

Directions

1) Cook macaroni according to box instructions and set aside to cool

2) Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium high heat. Drain off drippings and stir in taco seasoning with 3/4 cup water. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3) Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes then slowly add milk while stirring until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.

4) Place a little taco meat in each shell and top with mac and cheese and green onions. Enjoy!

Pamela Love SS 12

The Pamela Love SS 12 look book has arrived! The look book features Love's moroccan inspired collection on model, Behati Prinsloo, shot by photographer, Skye Parrott. Its so exciting seeing the pieces I watched evolve create such a cohesive story. The use of laser cut wood and inlaid stones is so impressive, even more so since everything is made in the US. 

It was such a privilege working with the Pamela Love team during the making of this collection. I cannot wait to see Pamela continue to grow as a designer. With her vast sources of inspiration and winning runner up in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund we can only expect greater things to come. 

The collection is available via Shopbop and Net-a-Porter

I would kill for these pieces

Covet Thy Duma

I've had a raging girl crush on former Harper's Bazaar Russia fashion editor, Miroslava Duma for some time now. I love how her bright and playful style maintains such a feminine quality. She's absolutely one of those girls who truly loves to have fun with fashion. During NY Fashion Week, the Coveteur paid a visit to her Plaza Hotel room to give us a few lessons on storing your Louboutin's in the shower. 

Pardon my drooling.
