DIY Halloween Costume: Swan Lake

admin — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 02:05:25 +0000

DIY SWAN LAKE This happens to me every year, I never know when to start planning my Halloween costume bc I never really know my plans that far in advance. I end up either throwing something together last minute or doing absolutely nothing bc even if I end up having plans the effort just isn’t there. But this Halloween I’m so excited, because Adaline is finally old enough to understand playing “dress up”. Last year was dicey so we put her in skeleton pajamas to be safe but I was impressed with how quick she took to trick or treating, going door to door to get candy. Candy that mommy and daddy only ate but maybe this year I will give her a piece or two. Maybe. So! I wanted to share my quick and easy DIY Halloween costumes I made all via our beloved, Amazon Prime. We actually went to Party City to pick out a family costume but they all just looked cheap to me and I felt a bit overwhelmed. So we left with a shark costume for dada because, like every kid, Adaline is still obsessed with Baby Shark and I left feeling inspired to come […]

5 quick tips for easy transitional dressing from Summer to Fall … This is a topic I know all too well. Living in LA, it can be a bit more challenging when it comes to transitioning from Summer to Fall attire when temperatures continue to soar. We all love Fall, right? There is no denying the styling and effort can’t be beat. But how does one achieve that effort with out all the layers that come with it? I’m sharing 5 quick tips for a smooth transition this Fall. Loafers: I love loafers. They are timeless and the perfect shoe to opt for rather than a boot that can feel a bit forced during that awkward period. Silk Prints: A printed silk in itself is a statement. No need for extra layering and texture when the print does the work for you. Accessories: You may not be able to layer your clothing just yet so why not stack and layer the jewelry? To me your accessories are like the icing on the cake. And you never want to have cake with out icing, so the more the better! Color: Whatever the color is for the season, invest and impress! I love the […]

Soup season is here and I’m pretty excited about it. There is nothing more satisfying on a cold, chilly night than a homemade bowl of warm soup or chowder. It has become a weekly ritual in our household to try a new recipe and save our favorites. A pot full of soup in the fridge will feed us for days. It is a cost efficient and belly filling means to stay warm on cold nights. It all began thanks to my From the Farmer delivery and receiving two heads of cabbage, that’s a lot of cabbage! So I had to think of something to do with it… sauerkraut…kimchi… nope, both too complex. Due to a slam packed week and a limited window of opportunity I decided to go with soup – chop it up, add spices, cover. Too easy. Below is a basic, easy cabbage and potatoes soup recipe. The ingredients are simple and you can edit to your preference. This one pot soup is delicious and so easy to pull together. I went with the following: 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 carrots, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 6 cups vegetable broth 2 medium gold potatoes, diced 1/2 head large […]
