unbeknownst to me, I’ve developed quite a fancy for green clothing.  my mom pointed it out to me the week of our wedding when I wore, not one or two, but three green dresses!  then today while browsing J. Crew’s new arrivals, I added this pretty little silk tank into my shopping cart and I had to laugh because I’d forgotten that I already put this green cardigan in there last week!  I guess it IS easy being green.  ;)

do you have a favorite color to wear?

during our wedding planning, I always found myself bookmarking bouquets and center pieces from weddings in Australia.  while I like my share of roses, I love interesting and unique flora the most.  those giant protea are amazing, aren’t they?

thanks to Mrs. French, I too have found the perfect fall collection that I could live in every day.  I almost always wear jeans, so any way I can dress them up with out feeling too casual is my M.O.

loving these bowties from Something’s Hiding In Here. wouldn’t they be perfect for a groom?  the packaging even makes for a pretty sweet gift.

lately, one of our favorite {an easiest!} things to cook for dinner is what we like to call “Fresh Nachos”.  we’d developed a rather unhealthy obsession of nachos from a local brewery down the street from our apartment and after thinking about how many calories were probably involved in them, we opted to create our own version!  I simply saute some veggies – right now I’ve been using summer squash, broccoli, red onion and garlic.  I roast an Anaheim pepper in the oven, remove most of the seeds because I don’t like it too spicy, and dice it up.  then we pile all the veggies, some pinto beans, a diced heirloom tomato and feta cheese on top of some tortilla chips, and voilà!  Fresh Nachos!!

while looking through my recent flickr favorites, I noticed a trend.

a trip to the coast soon, my love?

I’ve been on the hunt for new sunglasses.  ones that won’t fall apart, won’t scratch too easily and fit my budget.  these cuties from Karen Walker have quickly moved to the top of my list.
