Seafood, Stacked.

Hey, hey!

Let’s have a fancy (and easy) mid-week meal, shall we?

I think anyone who knows me knows that I love seafood. Like in my soul. I will always prefer it over most any other meats. Truly I was supposed to live by the sea in France I think. Anywho, I also think food should be beautiful and I have made it a habit of making my food pretty. Even if it’s just me sitting down to a quiet lunch I think you should romanticize everything that you possibly can. Because why not? Today, I’m making a stacked seafood salad but first, let me show you one of my favorite tools in my kitchen…

This little tool is perfect when you want to make any kind of stack situation. Also I went a little abstract with my plate design. It’s just Kewpie mayo and sriracha. Now, grab whatever seafood you have on hand. I pan fried some scallops and shrimp.

Now, take all of this and add it to a bowl with equal parts miracle whip and sour cream, dill, salt, and pepper. Now it’s ready to eat!

Have a beautiful day, Friends!

A Lot Of Range

Hello, Hello!

I think it’s safe to say that this week, on Fast Snaps, Full Looks I was all over the place when it comes to what I wore. Baseball games, gymnastics, errands, lunch dates. It was a jam-packed week!

1. Unexciting.

   Today’s activates required me to be comfortable. That’s all. :)

2. Old Pants are good pants

I absolutely love stripes and floral looks. As the title suggests, I have had these pants for about ten years. They are a great stable in my closet and great for when I want to look nice but also need to be comfortable. This outfit was perfectly comfortable all day including ending the day siting at the baseball field. Necklace layers are my “E”, Empress, and three dragons. Usual culprit rings as well. I’ve only worn these blue heels a few times, but they really pulled this look together.

3. Make it match

Something about skivvies matching the fit. This outfit was very basic but still put together which is of course what I prefer. Green and purple are a good match too. My favorite part of this look was my jade pearls that I got from Hawaii. Keeping with the pearl theme, I wore a big ‘ol pearl cuff and a pearl ring.

4. Rockstar Vibes?

The only place I needed to be today was a baseball game, so I had a little fun with the look. I own so many leopard pants because I love them and they go with everything and anything.

5. Favorite of the week!

Again, I love a bright pair of pants. This look was simple, but I loved it. This statement necklace really made the outfit. I paired some Loubs and headed out for lunch!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the day!

Fast Snaps, Full Looks

Hello dear friends!

I’m so excited to have actually made the time to break down my weekly outfits and share them with you! Fashion is a major part of my life and I do love to break down a look.

I very much dress for me. Also, it doesn’t matter if I leave the house or not, I’m getting dressed. See me going to the mailbox? I’m probably dressed. With this series I’m giving you a full scope top to bottom of what I wear in a week. So, let’s start at the beginning of any outfit…

Skivvies! Gals! We only get one go in this life so wear the lingerie. Wear it for you, wear it for him. Whatever. Wear it. We must start with a good base.

1. A very errand Monday

   I’ve shared these pants before, but they are arguably my favorite pants. For obvious reasons they go with…a lot. Also, for a day of running errands and ending at a baseball game they are as comfortable as they are loud. The tee is from a Kate Spade (a favorite brand of mine) and Target collab. And again, for obvious reasons I had to purchase it. For the jewels, I kept it simple with my cute snake ring, my other ring with me and MKs birthstones, my kids name bangle, and Gucci watch with I pretty much wear every single day. The shoes. Sometimes you buy something that you just simply like but then it turns into a very important part of your wardrobe. That’s these. I wear them so much more than I thought I ever would. Maybe because I’ve always been a big fan of a pop of color…and green. Duh. This also wins my second favorite look of the week.

2. It’s all about the vibe.

Full transparency. I originally put on a poofy yellow dress, pink belt, and pink heels. This was not the vibe for the day at all. But, at this point I had no time to change. So, I then did school drop off, got home, and immediately made my hair purple. I realized when I woke up, I was “Lilac Hair Emily” also known as Evette (insert laughter). Anyway, that’s why my lingerie doesn’t so much match my outfit like it normally would. Also, these necklaces are my usual stack. I’m sure you’ll see them again. Arm candy included my fancy bird cuff, usual Gucci watch, and a cuff of the kid’s names. Added MK and my birthstone ring, and a Gemini one.

3. I said I’d never wear cargo pants.

Here’s the thing… don’t make declarations like that. Haha. Another day of working and ending it at another baseball game called for an outfit that I would be comfortable in all day long. My green shoes are back because I like the unexpected pop of color that they bring to this outfit. I switched my usual necklace stack up a bit and added a little arm candy too. My rings are for my kids both with their (same) birthstone at the end of the diamond row.

4. What I refer to as comfort.

So, this week was apparently about comfort for me because I had the kind of days where I was on the go all day long. I’m very much a pants kind of girl. I usually will always style an outfit around the pants and that’s what I did here. I love these leopard with a red pop pants because you can pair them with so many different tops and shoes. Kept the jewelry very simple with this fit and just wore my “E” necklace and cute little bee ring.

5. Foxy

I’ve always loved foxes and when I saw this Goorin Bros hat I was sold immediately. I discovered them last summer and kind of haven’t stopped buying their hats. I’m a hat girl after all. MK and I were taking the kids for a lunch pizza date. These red jeans (see? pants.) are a great casual piece to throw on for events such as this. I went with my invisible heel for this look because I couldn’t decide on a shoe. I was recently gifted my “E” and “K” necklaces by my sweet friend and I’m in love with them.

5B. Second Friday Look

Into the nearest telephone booth! My second outfit for the day was due to headed to a graduation. This was most certainly my favorite look of the week due to this fabulous necklace my best friend got me because she really knows my style. Anything leopard and I’m on board. And you’ve probably realized by now I love a pop of color when it comes to a shoe. Jewelry was my two Vahan bracelets and my morganite ring that I bought myself ten years ago to “dull the pain of turning 27”. Hilarious. Also, anyone else have an extra rib? Haha.

Thanks for following along! If I’m feelin’ froggy I’ll do it again this week.

I hope you have the best Monday and strong coffee, and you feel cute.
