Lately I've been:
Trying out new recipes. Last night I made Angel hair, lemon shrimp, tomato basil pasta. I've invented a new garlic bread (extra olive oil) and tried out chewy gingersnap cookies, with molasses. I'm also catching up on my reading. I just finished Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. My attention was held captive the entire time by the narration given through the main character's thinking process rather than actually speaking out loud. Now, I'm delving into a sea of Judy Blume. Ah the nostalgia!

Denim Classic, Automatic Watch giveaway

Spring forward with a new Orient watch! When a Rep contacted me a few weeks ago to blog about Orient Star Watches and offer a giveaway, I jumped at the chance. I find nothing sexier than an oversized men's watch on a woman's wrist. A timeless trend. Mine is vintage but yours can be Orient.

To enter: You must be a US Resident - simply comment and include your email address.
DEADLINE: 2 weeks to enter, last day March 6th. Winner will be announced shortly after.


I found this lace and pearl necklace at Forever 21 last December. It made me think of Kaiser, Karl Lagerfeld and the decadence that is Chanel.

Newport News top. Forever 21 lace & pearl necklace. Bartack jeans. Love Label island platform lace-up sandals. Rebecca Minkoff handbag.
