Fedora Freak

My favorite summer accessory thus far has been my Fedora from Forever 21.  I got it because my grandpa used to wear one, and I always thought he looked so classy.    It's light camel colored straw with a vintage inspired blue ribbon tied around the head.  I have worn it 3 times this week already, and it's not even sunny in San Diego!  But, fear not, I have found a fabulous vintage inspired millinery shop on Etsy. Enjoy

Word

Hey everyone!  Sorry for the short and random posts over the last few weeks, they have been very busy.  Last week I finished finals at FIDM, worked and finally graduated yesterday at the Staples Center in LA.  Where,  Laker fever still lingered and purple and gold confetti floated around the arena.

Okay, now that my life will go back to "normal" I'll keep posting as much as I can.  Believe me, I think I have added about 40 shops to my Favorites tab!

Vegetarian Chili

I found this great recipe in Yoga Journal Magazine a few months back and it has quickly become a weeknight staple in my life.  It's super easy, and yummy.  Believe me just because I am a fashionista does not make me a domestic diva.  So.... If I can do it, you can!
Ingredients: 
2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1/2 cup of water
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 cup red salsa
2 bell peppers, any color, chopped
3 cups cooked black beans
3 cups blanched, peel tomatoes
2 cups corn kernels
Optional: Salt, Hot sauce, cilantro

1) In a soup pot, cook the onions and garlic in the water over a high heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.  Add the cumin and coriander and stir over a high heat for a minute.  Stir in the salsa and bell peppers, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2) Add the black beans and tomatoes; simmer for 10 minutes.  Use a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes.  Add the corn and continue to cook for 10 more minutes.  Add salt and hot sauce to taste.  Stir in cilantro if desired.  

Try it out! Let me know how it goes

Oh, hello.

Hey guys, sorry for being such a lazy blogger lately! I only have 1 more week left at FIDM and then I graduate next Saturday at the Staples Center in LA.  Pretty exciting.  So between school, projects, work, and other stuff I have not been able to post as much as usual.  
Anyways, if you have been a reader for a while, you might remember by post on BrooklynREHAB a while back.  Well they have a ton of new things since then! 
Here are some of my favorites...
