fall trends

burgundy and leather. done and done.

subtle sequins

gorgeous sequin skirt, dressed down with a basic graphic tee. one of my favorite examples of mixing highs and lows. 

better things

everyone has a story

fur vest

i would love a faux fur vest for the upcoming cold seasons.  when i was in europe, everyone wore a fur vest or jacket in the winter.  i would love to add one to my wardrobe. 

trés chic

i love this all black look with gold accents. such a simple look to put together, but so chic! 

smile and nod

monday motivation

this jacket is so lux, and i would wear it in a heart beat. a new pair of pumps, purse, or a jacket is the perfect dose of monday motivation. i'm hoping my celine bag arrives this week! happy monday!

go giants!

go giants! happy friday!

a dramatic shoulder

nothing compares to a dramatic shoulder covered in sequins and jewels. especially on navy with minimal jewelry. 

taupe

despite the fact that it's mid october, the weather feels more like summer, and i needed a new pair of sunnies and i came across a pair that looked exactly like these.  although my hair isn't blonde i like the idea of getting a pair of  taupe color sunglasses for a more casual look. 

classy

sweater weather

no regrets

blushing

blush is such a great neutral, especially paired with black, navy, or gray. and on a side note, i would love a pair of leather gloves!  

style

sequin jacket

i bought this sequin jacket recently, and i have been dying to wear it! although fourth of july is a long time from now, i think it's the perfect jacket to wear because of the red, white, blue, and sparkle of the sequins!

love

fallen

i can't wait for fall weather, i'm ready for heavy coats, riding boots, and scarves. happy weekend!

meat-less "meatballs"

i found this delicious recipe for vegetarian "meatballs". although the recipe, found here, doesn't use organic ingredients, i would highly advice to do so. here are the ingredients i used, which were slightly different from what the recipe called for. 

• 1 ½ cans of organic cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 roasted red bell pepper, roughly chopped
• 1 medium yellow onion, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup chopped italian parsley
• 1 ½ tsp dried oregano
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cups organic marinara sauce (your favorite kind)
• organic spaghetti
• 1 teaspoon of hot sauce (optional)

lusting over leather

i'm getting closer to my purchase of a leather jacket.  i'm lusting over one from all saints, but there are so many to choose from. motorcycle, studded, hooded, cropped, and the list goes on.
