Crushin’ on Coral

I am currently crushing on Coral.  I love the vibrancy of the color and along with it comes day dreaming of hot summer days.

Frost

I am such a glutton! I ate 3 donuts in one day…two French crullers (my favorite) and this bacon maple bar one.

Two looks are better than One…

One

Two

top (le fou by Wilfred @ Aritzia)

silk pants and leggings (Wilfred @ Aritzia)

clutch and earrings (Forever21)

pearl necklace (my mum)

glitter pumps (Steve Madden)

ring (Chanel)

This pretty blush top makes it very easy to go from a  relaxed classy look to something a little more edgy with just a change of bottoms and accessories.  For a nice dinner date look, I paired it with some silk slacks and a classic strand of pearls.  To take the look to something more daring for cocktails and dancing, I switched out the pants for some leather leggings and replaced the pearls with feather earrings for a little bit of rock and roll.  Now that I have the outfits, I just need to make the plans!  Looking forward to the weekend already…

Happy Monday everyone!

Weekend Basics

I love dressing easy and comfortably during the weekends.  I like to choose pieces that go easily together and can be dressed up or down fairly quickly because I rarely plan my weekend activities ahead of time.  This bag is one of my favorites this season.  It holds everything I need  with ample space and the navy stripes set the tone for summer with a nautical feel.

Wedges are also great for the weekend and I can’t get enough of these Jeffrey Campbell ones!  They look good even with my chipped toe nail, hehe and also provide me a few extra inches without the extra pain that usually accompanies heels.

After searching far and wide for a summer sweater I settled upon this basic black linen one from T. Babaton.  I love the lightness that comes with the linen, a perfect summer fabric.  And of course, bloomer shorts are just so precious that I had to add another pair to the collection!  I am looking forward to a nice, relaxing and fun filled weekend!

Happy Friday!

Pineapple Mango Salsa

For a person that looooves chips and salsa as much as I do it’s surprising I have never made my own salsa. I attempted to make my own last night and I happened to have some mangoes on hand so sparked the idea! The salsa turned out delicious and was a perfect addition to our usual dinner of carne asada tacos.

Pineapple Mango Salsa Recipe

1 mango
Half a fresh pineapple
Half a bunch of cilantro
Half a sweet yellow onion
1 jalapeño pepper (optional)
1 10oz. can of southwest style diced tomatoes and chilies
Salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
1-2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 lime

Chop up pineapple, mango, cilantro, onion and jalapeño. Mix all ingredients together in a big bowl. Add lime juice, vinegar, garlic powder and salt and pepper to suit your tastes.

Enjoy!

XO,
Anna
