Fashion, Food, + Frivolity for Healthy, Hardworking Women
I couldn’t be more excited to share these photos. Since moving to LA, I’ve become acutely aware that much of the California embraced and showcased is of the beaches, boulevards, and palm trees. While each of these is certainly California, there is really so much more and that so much more is even more beautiful in my opinion. With all this in mind, I’ve been wanting to start a California Series which showcases rural California – the mountain ranges, the history, and most of all the agriculture!
I mentioned sometime this summer how difficult it’s been to get together with friends. Between travel schedules and, well, life, it’s hard during those summer months to plan many long, leisurely dinners. Because of this, I’m big on finding ways to make some time for friends in less traditional ways. I’ve done things like trips to the market together, running errands together, and planning walks to hang out instead of going to the gym…
I’m in love with pumpkin, but so many items I see at the market and on menus are frosted, fluffed, and fancifully sugar-filled. I’m all for a great pumpkin bread recipe along with many others, but what I’m really in love with are savory pumpkin recipes. And while many pumpkin recipes, sweet and savory, are time-consuming, these pumpkin quesadillas are easy and the perfect fall dinner!
Sea salt is all the rage – usually with caramel and dark chocolate – but did you know the list of sea salt uses goes well beyond the kitchen? Unlike table salt, sea salt is minimally processed and evaporated from ocean water or salt water lakes. Because of this it retains some trace minerals and elements, which add flavor, texture, and color. If you want more beauty benefits, are looking for a few beauty and home hacks, or have an abundance of sea salt, here are some great sea salt uses that don’t involve food. Some might surprise you. . .
It’s probably no surprise, but I’m completely obsessed with these lace jogger pants. From wearing them with a plaid blazer (see that look here) to my black leather jacket, they’re perfect for work meetings and a comfortable date night (that looks anything but). The perfect finishing touch to this look, however, is a beautiful piece from the new LAGOS Black Caviar collection…
