A Good Ol’ Fashioned Dress Harvest
Posted on | January 11, 2012 | 11 Comments
My closet was making me sad the other day. My dress collection is faltering a bit and I really do enjoy having a multitude of dress options. So I hit ModCloth today for a good ol’ fashioned dress harvest. A dress harvest is when you order a bunch of dresses (and charge waaaaay too much on your credit card) so you can try them all on at home and send back the ones that don’t work. So I ordered like 8 dresses today. My excuse is I’m dating and need an arsenal of cute dresses at the ready. That’s fair, right? Below you’ll find a few of the lovely numbers that are on their way to me as we speak. Here’s to hoping their cuteness translates to real life.
Sherry Flight Dress, Dot You Worry Dress, Gardening a Lot of Attention Dress

Edamame Hummus

I’m a part time vegetarian. Which has me constantly concerned about protein. And last night when I needed a quick dinner I whipped up some protein packed edamame hummus. So easy. And so delicious. I loosely used this recipe. And dumped some hot sauce on top because I’m a lady who likes some spice. Now that I’ve tackled edamame hummus, what’s next? Perhaps butter bean or black eyed pea. So many options.

Alright, the first week of 2012 is all done. I hope yours was just fantastic. I’m heading to a new freelance gig today. I’m due up, I haven’t worked in like a month. Time to see if this old brain of mine still works. I’m hoping it does. What do you have on tap for the weekend? I’ve got lots of fun lined up, per us. And it all starts tonight with some much needed Mexican food and margaritas. The perfect thing to enjoy on a January night.
One of my favorite blog pals Capree who I met at Alt last year shared this print by Matthew Kavan Brooks (on Society 6) on her blog, MAIYA. I am completely obsessed with it. I don’t think it would be possible for me to love it any more. And guess what? Alt Summit is right around the corner. I can’t wait to be fabulous and tear it up with Capree and all my blog pals in Salt Lake City. Holla. And happy Friday!

It Takes Two

For no particular reason, I started thinking about the awesomeness of duets. And how some of them have a little bit of romantic cheesiness, which this lady happens to adore. So I decided to take on an incredibly important endeavor in the name of the duet. I decided I needed to determine and present to you my five favorite duets. Exciting times, huh? And let me know what you think. Do you love duets? Did I forget any of your faves? p.s. I dare you to listen to the first one and not sing along.
Up Where We Belong – Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes*
*youtube video may or may not include moving and majestic animal slide show
Falling Slowly – Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová
No cheesiness here. Just lots of weeping.
After All – Peter Cetera & Cher
Have I ever told you about my (shameful but completely true) obsession with Peter Cetera? P.s. I don’t know why this video is a montage of the movie The Notebook. This song is from the very charming Chances Are, which I loved. Get it right, youtube!
Candy – Iggy Pop & Kate Pierson
I had this one on cassingle. That’s how I know I am really old.
Leather and Lace – Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Perfection.
