Jessica Alba Shines in Silver Glimmering One Shoulder!

Jessica Alba attending the Gucci In-Store Cocktail as part of Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2011.

When I saw this photo of Jessica Alba in a stunning sparkling silver mini, I thought I have found the perfect understated silver glitter dress. The dress shows off her shape with style and sophistication, yet the design is very sensual. 




As much as I L.O.V.E. accessories I had to show close up shots of her small snakeskin clutch and her champagne and glitter platform heels. I'm not much for platforms but they look good on Jessica.

Recipe for the Best Greek Salad Dressing

Have you ever went to an Italian or Greek Restaurant, loved the salad and wish you could find the salad dressing?


Well look no further I have found one resturant's secret recipe that you can make yourself. It is so quick and easy. Believe me if I can do it, anyone can. I even won over my toughest critic, my mother. She loves it.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons pepper
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 3/4 cup and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • Directions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, basil, pepper, salt, onion powder, and Dijon-style mustard. Pour in the vinegar, and mix vigorously until well blended. Store tightly covered at room temperature.

  • The salad dressing does not need to be refrigerated and is best when kept in an oil and vinegar jar such as one of these.



Don't leave out the Lettuce of your choice. (I prefer a romaine/spinach mix) 
Tomatos
Cucumbers
Celery
Olives
Bell Peppers (green and/or red)
Pepperoncini
Feta Cheese (the most important part of the salad second to the delicious dressing you just made :)
