Salmon & Bok Choy

Easy. Inexpensive. Delicious. (And might I mention gluten/dairy free!)

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (can sub for gluten free soy sauce)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp fresh minced garlic
  • 1 lbs bok choy
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp green onions

Whisk first 5 ingredients together in a small bowl. Chop bok choy leaves and place at one end of pan. On the other side, chop bok choy stems and arrange as single layer. Place Salmon on top of leafy greens. Pour half of sauce over salmon fillets and drizzle the rest over the bok choy stems. Broil for 5 minutes, stir stems, continue broiling for an additional 4 minutes. Top each fillet with 1 tbsp green onions.

Print Mixing cont.

Hi friends! I just can’t get enough of print mixing, it’s becoming my new signature mix. I think it’s most understandable when you mix different scales and the pieces share a common color.

I’m finding I have a bit of extra time on my hands these days and would love to know what types of posts you enjoy most. Do you want more outfit pics, styling tips, positive inspiration, recipes, book reviews, beauty/shopping tips?? Don’t be shy, leave a comment or shoot me an email. I want to hear from you!

I’ll Have Another

J.Crew skirt (old) & vintage stripe t. AE belt. Converse kicks. H&M fedora. Mixed Jewels.

Sorry for such a late Kentucky Derby related post but I’m still excited about my big winnings and must share my strategies for betting on horse races, which if you’re like me, you know absolutely nothing about. I placed $10 on the winning horse, strictly chosen by who had the coolest name, and won $150 on the 15-1 odds! The only thing I won’t be having another of anytime soon is a mint julep. Holy whiskey on the rocks….

As for the outfit, went all out on the stripe and print mixing. I seriously have no rules about how to rock this other than with confidence, a pair of chucks and a seriously oversized, beat-up belt. The trick to the belt is to buy up a few sizes and punch a few more holes into (thank you step-dad) so you can wrap like the photo above (just make sure you go under first). 

xx!

It’s really pretty simple.

To highlight, or not to highlight

Hmm, let’s see. It’s been a whopping 5 years since I last colored my hair and for some reason I have the itch to add some soft highlights. Maybe I’m scarred by my blonde highlighting days that I could not financially keep up with, causing some very ombre hair lightyears before the trend.

Any votes for putting that fear aside and giving it another whirl?

The Middle of Change

Let it soften your heart.

It’s what strengthens and teaches us the power of connection and love.

Never Hide

Sorry, Rayban slogan. Sometimes we just need a break to hide & gather it all back together. Then we can come back better than ever.  

What are your fav Raybans? Mine are the Clubmasters (they are the only ones that actually stay on my face!)

As you all know, I’m a huge fan of lipstick and I’m excited to be hopping on the coral lip trend tomorrow. After testing 6 different smudges on my hand at Sephora this afternoon, I’ve landed on YSL’s, Le Orange.  

Actually, my favorite color happens to be orange. Not because it’s my alma mater, because it’s bright and makes me happy. Life’s too short to hide. Be bold.

What’s your favorite color?
