i love ordering spring rolls at restaurants, and when there’s a good peanut sauce i’m completely devoted! unfortunately i haven’t found a great place to get them here in the desert yet. so, i decided to tackle them myself. i’m kind of shocked at how easy they are! as in: i’ll probably be eating these every day for the rest of my life. or until i hate them, whichever comes first. also, i decided to sub out the usual tofu with jicama for a healthier, crunchier roll. and i am SO glad i did. obsessed. i hope you love them as much as i do! xx- sarah {more after the jump}
overalls are back! last time i owned a pair i was sixteen. i cut them in half and sloppily sewed embroidered material up the entire length of both legs. and then i wore them to phish shows. all of this is to say that i was going through an identity crisis then, and am certainly open to the idea that i might be going through one now. in spite of this i can’t deny it, i love these overalls. they make me feel young and cheeky. BUT you won’t find me DIY’ing them! i learned my lesson the embarrassing way.
side note: i googled “overalls phish shows”. i don’t really know why i thought that would bring to to a picture of myself at age 16 in some horribly crafted overalls, but i kind of did. it goes without saying, no dice. but i did come across this DIY overall, and if i’m being honest it does make me feel quite a bit better about myself. so what do you think? overalls: yay or nay? xx- sarah {more after the jump}
sometime last fall i developed an obsession with popcorn and it’s turned into an every night thing: me and a giant bowl of popcorn watching the real housewives of wherever or some other bravo tv embarassment. i can resist the popcorn just about as well as i can resist a housewives reunion show. NOT AT ALL! EVER! so these sweet balls (heh) are a natural progression for an over zealous popcorn lover like myself. and if i had children, these would be my go-to snack to satisfy their sweet tooths without getting them all hopped up on sugar. hope you love! xx sarah {more after the jump}
you guys: LEOPARD PANTS THAT ARE MORE COMFORTABLE THAN PAJAMAS! that’s right. and they’re mine. and also, i can wear them with a crop top a la brenda walsh. i’m having a full on 90’s revival moment. this is a good day in my book. a really good day. xx- sarah {more after the jump}
I’m hoping you can help me. I’m recently single after ending a 7 year relationship and am starting to date. I actually have my first date next week, with a guy I might really like. My self esteem is at an all time low and I don’t want that to come across on my date. Do you have any suggestions on something to wear to a dinner date? Thanks! -Carrie
hi carrie,
thanks for writing! it’s true, a killer outfit will boost your self esteem and make easing back into the dating world a less scary experience. i’m going to give you two options, and hopefully one of them feels like your style! good luck to you, happy dating! xx- sarah
OPTION 1: a silk romper feels playful, sexy and easy. paired with strappy heels and great accessories you’re pretty much guaranteed to look and feel like a total fox. i’d wear hair down and a coral lip gloss to vamp it up a bit. add your favorite gold watch and a simple bangle and you’re completely styled!
OPTION 2: this spotted dress is flirty, breezy and designed to flatter any shape! add a simple gold necklace, a fun watch and throw your hair into a messy pony. you’ll look effortlessly put together and chic.
