Daily Style – Light Spring Layers

Jacket – Trouve via Nordstrom; Camisole – Nordstrom; Dark Wash Skinnies – Paige Denim; Shoes – ShoeMint (old); Clutch – St. John (old) I picked up this lightweight layering jacket before I headed to Expo West, with the intent of wearing it to interview Tyler Florence at Expo West. At the last minute though, I […]

Dreaming Of Fall – Neutral Layers

Our cooler spell in weather was short lived, and by tomorrow morning I’ll be in attendance of a wedding where the temperatures are predicted to reach the high 80’s. I’m not surprised or complaining, as it usually stays warm in Southern California until at least mid October, so I’ll just bide my time and be […]

Daily Style – Sheer Layers

Dress – Old Navy; Blouse – American Apparel; Hat – Target; Shoes – Red Valentino; Jewelry – Premier Designs Jewelry (and there’s a giveaway for these pieces on my other blog today!) Some days I wonder why we style bloggers do what we do.  I mean, if pressed, I can of course tell you why […]

What I’d Buy From The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started last Friday and because we were on our road trip, I haven’t had a chance to go in and do any damage, which is probably a good thing. I did some browsing last night though and found a few things I plan to order up, and because of the great […]

Fresh Pressed Rainbow Juice

I recently read an article in the NY Times about the importance of cardiovascular health for women, and that the hearts of young women are especially at risk. And while many women fear cancer, more women in the United States die from heart attacks or strokes, than all cancers combined. I couldn’t help but think […]

Slow Cooker Bolognese

My friend gave me a big sack of garden tomatoes. Now, I know what you’re probably thinking I’m absolutely, 100% crazy for wanting to turn those into a sauce when I should be thickly slicing and devouring them with nothing more than a sprinkle of coarse salt and fresh ground pepper. The problem is when […]

Traditional Pho Ga – Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup

Having the good fortune of being born in Southern California is one of the many things I am continuously thankful for. While I may have just recently been interested in eating healthier, I have always had a deep love of food, and Southern California has an ever evolving cornucopia of interesting and unique food to […]

Dairy Free Creamy Berry Popsicles

Our usually mild California weather has been a bit schizophrenic the past few weeks. Wilder than usual winds and record breaking heat waves one day, and then chilly temps that have you wearing a sweater the next. I can’t make heads or tails of it, and the other day I felt a cool after school treat […]

What 80’s Style Means To Me – Anything John Hughes

In just 2 short months I turn 38 years old, and have now lived long enough to see a decade I grew up in, chosen as a theme for an upcoming event.  A decade doesn’t get chosen for an event theme unless it’s long gone passed for a while now. I mean, no one’s really […]

How To Make – The Perfect Kale Salad

I had my first kale salad over a year ago, at the Veggie Grill. The thing that most surprised me about that salad, was that I actually loved it, and went on to crave it. The biggest problem with that salad is that it cost over $10 once you add some protein, and for a […]
