On a cold day…

On a cold rainy day all I want to do is stay inside and watch tv and eat soup! Even though it’s almost April you would never be able to tell since it’s been a cool 40-50 degrees and except for a sunny weekend last week, sold rain. I have been obsessed with tortilla soup and feel like I have been getting it any time I can. So I decided to make some myself and it turned out so good I almost ate the whole pot of it that night! It was a simple recipe and used canned chicken which made me weary at first, but was actually brilliant. Most of the ingredients were from a can and made it even easier.
Here is the recipe I used from Campbell's. Although I substituted the Pace salsa for a Safeway brand chipotle salsa that made it slightly spicier, but so worth the smokey flavor! I also substituted the frozen corn for canned corn with peppers and threw in a can of black beans and topped with avocado slices at the end. All in all I think it was a delicious soup that I would probably start making weekly since it literally only took 30 minutes.  

Wear to go from here… well duh, to the kitchen. It’s almost dinner time!

Oh Color

One of my favorite Spring trends is Color Blocking! (As I stated I was obsessed with last week) It is a fun trend where you can mix bright colors to get a sophisticated, but fun look that looks put together! You can even mix in some neutral pieces to break up the brightness of the outfit. Or you can go all out with the bright and the bold!!!

Here are some of the fun styles I have been admiring! I think Pink tones and Blue tones are my favorite. They are both such versatile colors!!

 Wear to go from here…a Sunday Brunch or a girls night out. You can go anywhere in your color block outfit!

Slight Obsession

It’s been a long hiatus for me from here, but I have been living a crazy whirlwind version of my life and I can’t even believe it’s already MARCH!!! Where has the time gone? Before we know it we will be in 2013! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

With all the craziness, and the non stop hustle and bustle of my life lately I am ready for things to calm down and get back to the things I enjoy and have not done in months. I have gained some slight obsessions for spring and can’t stop thinking about them. I think I need all of these things in my life…I just can’t take it anymore!!


Pink Pants!! Or any colored pants for that matter. And paired with a chambray shirt for a pretty look!
Single glitter nail…totally love this look with a little dash of sparkle without being a full blown disco party on your fingers.
Color Blocking! Enough said…love this spring trend. And I need this BCBG Maxazria dress, it’s so pretty and I love the pleats!
Maxi dresses. Something seems so sweet and romantic about this soft flowy look…I just can’t wait for warmer weather to bust out the spring dresses!!
Ombre Hair (not sure I am brave enough), but might be a way to get some blonde in my life?? I have a secret desire to be blonde, but olive skin prevents me from ever really doing it!

This just made me even more obsessed!!!

Wear to go from here… Off to the mall and hair salon!! Can't control myself any longer!

Happy Friday!
