Fall Follies (Fallies?) and Book VS Movie: THE PRINCESS BRIDE

Happy FALL!! (No really, I mean it this time. Mother Nature has finally dropped the temperatures down to the high 70s around here. Brrrrr!)
Did someone say FALL?
I know, I've been seriously neglecting Nacho Mama's Podcast lately. Things have been crazy around here. The water heater burst at my studio AND at home(nothing like a cold shower to make you appreciate the unseasonable warmth), the oven broke, a bunch of electrical outlets suddenly stopped working...you know the drill. And all of this while preparing to move and doing TONS of training for the NEW ROLE I'll soon be taking on at Weight Watchers (more on that later, it's seriously weeks of training but it should be fun).

Since we've got the holiday's coming up, though, I'm planning to do a series of short podcasts to address some of the pitfalls we'll all be facing and share some of the best advice I've heard on how to handle them. If you don't already subscribe to the podcast, just search "Nacho Mama's Podcast" on iTunes or Stitcher.

In the meantime...I have not one but TWO new episodes of "Book VS Movie" for your enjoyment (yeah, I've been busy doing that as well. Where do I find the time?). First, we take on The Firm. Tom Cruise as a star player on the Harvard Basketball team? Annnnd it gets less believable from there. Listen HERE or by searching for "Book VS Movie" on iTunes or Stitcher.

And now, our 7th episode: The Princess Bride. Did you know it was a book? Inconceivable! Click the player to listen now.

ALSO...I'm planning a GIVEAWAY on my Youtube channel! I recently passed 500 followers and I promised myself that if I ever hit that number, I'd do something special. Stay tuned and THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING! (Don't subscribe yet? Click HERE.)

How is your Fall going? What are you going to be for Halloween?Do you even dress up? We still do most of the time. My husband thinks I should be the Long Island Medium. I'm totally considering it. In other news, I am not missing The Biggest Loser AT ALL. What do you think of it this season, if you're watching? I'm dying to know if it's improved!

#OOTD Forcing Fall

Hello fabulous ones!
The calendar says it's finally fall, but the thermostat here in Southern California says the calendar has another think comin'!

Fall is my FAVORITE time of year, so I've decided to forge ahead, even though I'm still running the AC. 

It all starts with the fashion...here's an #OOTD that pretty much exemplifies my fall fashion:

I LOVE tunics in fall! Mostly because I love dresses (except sweater dresses, which I always find get too lumpy and hot by the day's end) and most tunics fit me like a dress, since I'm just under 5'2". See where this tunic hits the model vs where it hits me?


It pretty much never gets cold enough here to require boots. I love them and usually buy a pair but I decided to skip it last fall and never noticed the difference. So today it's leggings with patent ballet flats.

I was drawn to this tunic (by Susan Graver, you know how I love my QVC!) not only for the comfort factor but because the print reminds me of the work of Vera Neumann, one of my favorite designers. My mom wore a lot of Vera when I was a kid and I guess it made an impression. I also like that a fall tunic looks great on women of every size and shape.

The bag is Betsey Johnson (yes, from DWTS) aka my FAVORITE FASHION DESIGNER OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME!

I have my eye on you, Betsey bag. You're next!

While I love fashion, I hate hunting for clothes at the mall, so I always order things online. I have more great tunics and looks coming in the mail, so stay tuned!


Leggings: Bally shapewear legging, I got these in a swag bag at a blogger lunch hosted by the beautiful Monique of Curves and Chaos four years ago and they're still going strong. I think they were from Macy's?

Bag: Betsey Johnson, find similar on 6pm.com

Book VS Movie: RUN, FORREST, RUUUUUN!

So...remember this?


Of course you do. Only, this scene? Not in the original book AT ALL. Not the running, not even the braces. That's right. NO RUNNING. "Run, Forrest!" is not in the book.

And Jenny? Yeah, that whole situation is WAY different, too.

That's right, it's time for BOOK VS MOVIE! Gump-style.
