Healthy and Pretty

I needed to change up my normal salad so I decided to go for the Cobb. At one of our favorite places to eat this is always what I order so I attempted to recreate. What is a Cobb salad exactly? I'll tell you.

  1. The Cobb salad is a main-dish American garden salad made from chopped salad, tomato, crisp bacon, boiled, grilled or roasted (but not fried) chicken breast, hard-boiled egg, avocado, chives, cheese, and red-wine vinaigrette.

I want to hear from you! What's your favorite way to top a salad?

 

Simple Fashion Savvy

As I'm sitting here with my morning coffee and enjoying my no workout Wednesday, I start to think about how quick fashion changes. What trends do you need to know about right now? Here are a few simple trends that you can wear now into summer and don't have to go out and buy a new wardrobe. Unless you want to of course. You know you have my blessing there.

Added bonus! Some of these might already be in your closet.

  • An oversized white blouse.
  • Wide leg trousers.
  • All black or all white outfits.
  • Stripes! Thank goodness as I've made it very clear I've been obsessed!
  • Pops of leather.  
  • Blue shoes! I love mine and wear them all the time!

An Added Bonus

Being that I work in the jewelry business and Mothers Day is just around the corner, this has been a busy week so far. Lots to do! Today was the first nice day in a while so MK and I did a little unwinding on our patio.

It's pretty safe to say that I've been drawn to stripes lately. I'm loving the diversity of an outfit with black and white stripes and what you can do with it. Adding some pink to this look really brought it to life.

I am combining a lot of Kate Spade ideas today:

  • A well-placed bow-  "...bows can be so elegant and yet have a sense of humor too"
  • Black and white-  "Black and white is always right!"
  • A pop of color-  "Think Pink!!"

Finishing the look off with my favorite pink shoes and a glad of wine. Cheers!

Little details make a big statement. They’re true investment pieces- wardrobe extenders that give every dress, skirt, and jacket a new lease on life.
