breakfast tacos

29 Monday Feb 2016

this cold month has me missing the hot texas sun.  i took a quick trip to austin in october, and far and away, my favorite thing in that city was the breakfast taco.  eggs, guacamole, salsa, beans, and cheese, on a tortilla, before 10am?  yes please.  why isn’t this a thing everywhere?

i did my best to re-create them at home.  not nearly the same, but still quite delicious.

i spent a wonderful four days in new orleans over mlk weekend.  i didn’t take many pictures on this trip as i wanted to observe the scenery without worrying about my camera.  however, below are a few that i did manage to take.

karlie’s kookies: perfect 10

15 Monday Feb 2016

as we’re well in february, i’m a little late to this new year’s resolution health game.  i wouldn’t call it a resolution, but i think my body has just been craving something better lately…and a lot less sugar.  i am usually of the camp that if i’m going to eat a cookie, it will be a real cookie.  but when i saw this recipe for karlie kloss’s perfect 10 cookie, i thought i would try it.

kookies

verdict?  they are quite delicious.  not low fat by any means, and certainly not as good as the butter/sugar/egg ladened cookies, but when you want something a bit different that is not as unhealthy, i think they make a great alternative.

just in : navy alaïa dress

07 Sunday Feb 2016

clearly navy is the only color i’m interested in wearing in 2016.  i found this gorgeous alaïa dress at a consignment shop in my neighborhood, with the tags still on.  when i tried it on and it fit perfectly without alterations, i knew it was coming home with me.

i have never tried on, let alone owned, an article of clothing that was made with such integrity.  the pleats are so precise and heavy, but at the same time make me want to twirl.  and the jersey is so thick yet comfortable, so i can look good and feel good all day.  i can’t believe the entire dress – even the dentelle – is constructed out of jersey.
