Breakfast of Champions

I didn't have a pear on hand and chose to use coconut milk instead of almond- sweet success fresh out of my trusty magic bullet!

I haven't posted about food in quite sometime, but after making this fantastically green smoothie I just had to share! It's jam packed with one full cup (each!) of superfoods kale and spinach and tastes like nothing more than a sweet, delectable banana smoothie. After downing this greener than green concoction, I feel kinda like superwoman :)

All I need now is a tiara!

For the recipe, hop on over to Taylor's fabulous blog, Sterling Style!

Jewelry for Japan

$30 of the proceeds from the sales of this necklace by Ken + Dana will be donated to the Red Cross. Read for the meaning of the inscription.

Although many of us in my little part of the world have not been directly affected by the devastation in Japan, I'm certain that the images, the news, and the stories of people just like you and me have been equally overwhelming and utterly heartbreaking.  It's times like these, albeit senseless and tragic, that we have a chance to unite. It's a time to appeal to the broader concerns of humanity- to help in a time of need, to extend a part of yourself whether it is time, money, or even just prayers. It's times like these when we do not think for a second about our individual differences, but we undoubtedly know at our core that we are all inherently the same.

This necklace by Ken + Dana Designs is a testament to the inner, most important similarities of mankind, our similarities. It features the identifier for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the Public Law (PUB.L.) that abolished the national-origin quotas that had been in place in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1924. With the purchase of this necklace, you will not only be honoring a sense of unity, but you will also be donating $30 to the Red Cross relief efforts in Japan.

Sneak Peek...I Covered It In Stripes

Debuting this upcoming High Point Furniture Market, Mom and Dad's outdoor furniture striped out :) Do you love?

"Eclectic Ingenuity" Lonny March/April 2011 Issue p. 136

I'm sure you've all seen the recent striped pages of the latest, most fabulous Rue and Lonny, but have you seen my latest striped project? The mom 'n' pops have let me help merchandise their product and showroom at the High Point Furniture Market since I was in my teens, and this time around Mom and I just couldn't resist throwing in a little striped sass. I could totally see myself lounging on their piece in my hot pink cut-out monokini of course donning huge sunnies and my oversized yellow hat sipping a minty, fresh mojito. Would you join me?

p.s. If you're going to be in High Point this April and want to drop by the showroom, email me for more deats! I'd love to see you :)

Friendship Found

Remember my latest obsession? I literally shrieked with delight when I spotted, not one, but two friendship bracelets at Paris Fashion Week. Do you wanna know what made my day 100 times over and caused another shrill shriek? When upon my arrival from quite a meh day, I was greeted by a lovely package. I hurriedly ripped open the anonymous package (think small child on Christmas morn') to find a darling handwritten note and three bright and cheery friendship bracelets!

Thanks to Sami from A Glimpse of Glamour for more than making my day! You. are. awesome. Never underestimate an act of kindness y'all :)

p.s. Don't you love when your brain is so fried that you leave a major grammatical error up on the blog for two days? I really just wanted to prove to y'all how good of a time I had over the weekend. Did you catch it? It's still up if you'd like a good laugh.

Dreams Can Come True

Hair @ Peter Som. “I wanted it to look like it was well-done at some point but just sort of fell apart. But the girl doesn’t care because she knows she looks good,” Eugene Souleiman


Wouldn't it be a dream come true to have a stylist help you fix your hair everyday? Mine's lucky to get washed. Grosss, I know. Rat's nest or effortless cool- do you love the deconstructed Peter Som look? It's just my cup of te(a)!

Have you seen UP? They really did it- the real life version. Absolutely incredible.

And just in case you we're not Facebook friends, which we should be, I had to share this pic of the UP house. See, dreams really can come true!

"PEOPLE!" Street Style by Zara & You

I'm totally digging Barcelona's skateboard. I, on the other hand, would eat dirt if I attempted anything so cool.

The ladies are killing it, but no accessory or garment can do what a laugh and a smile can. Agree?

I adore fabulous and most fantastical fashion editorials probably more than the next girl, but there's nothing like real life, rockin' street style. I also adore Zara, my friends and piggy bank can attest to my addiction & self-proclaimed advocacy, also more than the next girl.

Why am I telling you this? Well I just discovered their latest project and am eating up all the real life looks fashionistas-next-door have created. All you have to do (besides have massive style oozing out of your ears) is create a look with 2 main items from the Spring/Summer collections, submit your photo, and count on your lucky stars to be the chosen feature. And get this, if you're one of the uber-cool to get drawn out of the pot, they'll pay you just for being pretty! Fantastic! I've got the items down, but nowhere near the cool factor. Any takers?
