Stitch Fix Box Number Three

By Wednesday, December 4, 2013 2 Permalink 0

I’ve been asked a few times if I am still getting my Stitch Fix boxes, and the answer is yes! Below are the items from my third box that arrived in October (oops, a little late on the blogging), but looks like with every box I receive, the items are getting better. Not only do they seem a bit more tailored to my style, but the fit is getting better as well. Stitch Fix takes my feedback seriously!

So here is what I got:

Collective Concepts Whistler Pleat and Lace Panel Tank
Daniel Rainn Ashlee Floral Print Swiss Dot Blouse
41Hawthorn Brentwood Jersey Stripe Tiered Top
41Hawthorn Moni Stud Detailed 34 Sleeve Blouse
Pink Martini Felix Zig Zag Drape Front-Tie Waist Cardigan

Paleo Spaghetti Squash Carbonara Recipe

Winter is almost here, so I'm attempting to expand my cooking knowledge to include more seasonal items, so it was only a matter of time before I tried cooking with squash. I've stopped searching Google for recipes and I have yet to find a Paleo food blog that I *love*, so I turn to Pinterest to look for dishes that I think will be appetizing. When searching for ways to prepare spaghetti squash I kept coming across this pin: Unfortunately this is one of those ghost pins that leads you no where. After some searching I was able to figure out the ingredients of normal squash carbonara ...

Paleo Dessert – Cherry, Coconut, Banana Smoothie

By Wednesday, October 16, 2013 0 Permalink 0

When searching for Paleo recipes on Pinterest, it is becoming increasingly hard to avoid all of the dessert recipes. I'm not one that normally (or ever) craves sweets, but occasionally I miss eating ice cream. This pin in particular caught my eye a few weeks ago: That recipe is easy, with very few ingredients and tastes delicious! When I had a cold last week soup just wasn't cutting it for me, so I whipped up (literally) one of these for lunch. I've never been one that enjoyed (or thought I liked) coconut, so I was a little wary of using so much coconut milk in this recipe, ...

Stitch Fix Box Number Two

By Monday, September 9, 2013 8 Permalink 0

This last weekend I went to Chicago for a concert (yes, I’m *that* girl). But before my trip, I ordered my second Stitch Fix box, hoping I would get it just before I packed and took off for the weekend. When I placed my order it said I would receive the box the day before I flew. Of course the shipment was delayed due to Labor day and didn’t get here until after I was already in Chicago. Oh well, always fun to come up to packages to open!

So here is what I got:

Under Skies – Sherley Metallic Detailed Knit Tank
41Hawthorn – Leaf Charms Long Necklace
Papermoon – Wynn Polka Dot Print Front Pocket Blouse
41Hawthorn – Benson 3/4 Ruched Sleeve Blazer
41Hawthorn – Amani Cowl Neck Sleeveless Blouse

I've been knitting for probably close to 10 years now, but I just can't bring myself to knit in the summer. This past week has been an exception. Last week, after looking at Pinterest, I had the urge to get crafty, so I dug through my closet until I found all of my yarn/half finished products. I also seem to have a problem finishing these projects. Oops! (more…)

Stitch Fix and My Obsession with Style on Pinterest

*Update at the bottom with my final decision on what I kept* If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I have been spending a lot of time pinning to one board in particular:   Not only am I looking forward to those days where I can comfortably wear jeans and a scarf, but I finally joined StitchFix.com. What is Stitch Fix? In their own words: Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service that ships customers a hand picked selection of clothing and accessories based on their individual style, size, lifestyle and budget. So how do they know what you want to wear? You have to fill ...

Liquid Dinner Recipe Paleo Style

By Tuesday, August 20, 2013 0 Permalink 0

My cravings for vegetables continues, so in order for me to consume as many veggies as I want without sitting and eating for hours we have taken the juicer out of the cabinet. The last two nights I have consumed almost my entire meal in liquid form, and boy was it good! Last night I also had some small grass-fed lettuce tacos and tonight I had half of a sausage, so my meals haven't been entirely liquid. I love how colorful the fruit and veggies are! (more…)
