{One Shirt + Five Ladies + Sequins}

{here}

One shirt, five ladies, sequins...don't worry we are not about to share some bizarre Las Vegas performance, but rather 5 different looks for one sequin shirt.  Many of you know that we love S-E-Q-U-I-N-S...I mean honestly how can you not?  They are pretty, sparkly, bright, sparkly, fun...did we mention sparkly?  Working these little lovelies into the evening is no prob...but making them appropriate for day can become a little difficult.  Take a look at these five different looks.  We love them and hope you do too....see you tomorrow! vT*

protein power plate please....

“To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist -- the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar.”- Oscar Wilde

So it looks like we have some rain headed this way...ahhhgain, which honestly always seems to make us feel yucky.  But doing some searching for cute styles for rainy days turned out better than we thought.  But we have to vote Ms. Bee from Atlantic-Pacific the "Queen of Drizzle."

 Happy Monday Folks!  A part of me is always say when I see a favorite store go out of business.  Recently the Borders in Nashville has called it quits, but not without a BLOWOUT sale.  Here is a peak at some of the fun lovelies I scored for a fraction of the price.

1. Guide Book for my trip to Paris with Mr. Reasons to celebrate two years as Mr. & Mrs:)
2.  Loads of papyrus cards...my fave.
3.  Two mini Spirit of Nashville Prints
4.  Two fashion books that I have been eying.

See you tomorrow...vT*

one feather, two feather, red feather, blue feather....

j. reasons made me hip to this new form of hair extension involving feathers. I had never heard of such a thing, but after jumping on the computer and doing a little search, I am seriously considering putting one of these fab feathers in my locks. The style is so bohemian{which is one of my favorite looks}and just screams style. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to wear lovely things in my hair...why not have a semi-permanent piece of decor!? Love it or not, here are a few ideas for ya....

flock to the feather...

Wear them with a sunhat

Focus to find the feather

Gorgeous...

Ridic.

 

good friends, good food...

Dyspepsia is the remorse of a guilty stomach.  ~A. Kerr

I am a firm believer that food and wine taste better when shared with the ones you love, which is exactly why tonight's meal was soo scrumptious. On the menu: Turkey Feta Burgers and Roasted Rosemary Fingerling Potatoes... It was a delight to cook for my old college roommate, her loved one and my new roommate. We opened all the windows, put on some good tunes and had some good laughs. On a side note..wear a fedora to Whole Foods and you might be lucky enough to run into Archie {who happens to love fedoras} and he will give you a free bag of organic fingerling potatoes {$6 value}. Thank you Archie. This delicious recipe is as follows...

Ingredients for Turkey Burgers
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 diced white onion
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 c feta cheese
4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste

I like to cook these burgers on a cast iron skillet{that is if a grill is unavailable}

|1.| In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix with hands.
|2.| Form into 5 medium 1/2 inch thick round patties.
|3.| Put burgers on warm skillet and cook on each side about 5 minutes, until cooked throughly throughout, flipping often.
|4.| Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado and extra feta and add condiments of choice. Enjoy!

Roasted Rosemary Fingerling Potato Ingredients
1 lb organic fingerling potatoes, sliced in half
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 c chopped fresh rosemary
juice from 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper

|1.| In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients.
|2.| Pour potatoes evenly on a baking sheet.
|3.| Bake 30 minutes @ 400 degrees, or until tender enough to pierce with fork.
