Small and Chic

Today's post is a super fast DIY planting project. Even if you have very limited time, much like myself this week, it's easy. Anything that is fast and chic I'm absolutely going to share with you guys. When I saw these tiny magnetic pots I was in love! I mean how cute are they?! Then I just found equally adorable plants to put in them. There you have it. Adding some chicness to the side of any fridge! Don't think I'm stopping here. By the end of the summer you probably won't be able to see any fridge! Haha! 

See below for ultimate cuteness!

Annnnnd I'm off to party plan!

Have a chic day!

Mix It Up

Summer is such a fabulous more carefree time of year and I feel like often times the clothing reflects that. I recently had a conversation with a lovely lady about mixing prints which inspired me to write this post. Some find it intimidating but, I think once you get the hang of it then it's nothing but fun and that is what it should be! Also don't be afraid to try different combos!

I wanted to share a fast and chic look that you can always have at the ready. Stripes and a floral print are my absolute favorite pattern combination! Plus my staple leopard shoes kick this look up a notch.

I hope you all have a fabulous Monday with lots of strong coffee!

Fast and Fresh

Ahhh the kitchen. One of my favorite places to be. One thing I am known for is loving magazines. Probably because it's a faster read than a book. Recently I picked up Food and Wine's "Fast + Fresh". Because I don' t think there is a better food combo. What I didn't realize is it also pairs a wine with each recipe. Um that means me in heaven. I'm sure there will be more to follow but I wanted to share my first recipe from this amazing mini cookbook.

Sichuan-Style Green Beans with Pork

  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 3/4 lb green beans, sliced thin and clockwise
  • 3 small red peppers (the recipe called for chilies but I couldn't exactly locate them so I improvised)
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 lime juice and the same for soy sauce

How to: Cook the pork in oil, then add green beans and peppers (or chilies I guess, haha) and garlic, cook until the green beans are crisp-tender, then just throw everything else in and season with salt and pepper.

Wine pairing: German Riesling

I don't know about you but I'm in love with fast, fresh, and ..wine. This is a must try for a quick weeknight dinner.

Have a lovely Wednesday!
