“I see it. I like it. I make it."

Erica Domesek is my new idol! I stumbled across her blog today and my eyes have been glued to the screen since while I probe her creations. The title of this post is a quote directly from Erica. By looking at her blog you get to see how broad that statement applies to what she really will make. From embellished necklaces to iPad cases she has tried almost everything. And with success! She first makes a inspirational fashion mood board. When looking at her end product you are amazed with how spot-on she is! I love this girl and I cant wait to try one of her DIY's. Im inspired!

Ps-I made this

surprising

   

Sometimes I get down on myself for playing it safe when it comes to my style. For instance, I took a "what is your style personality test?" and it came out "classic".

Other times though I'm thankful for not making embarrassing statements with my clothing choices and regretting it. Although I do appreciate when someone can create a fashionable yet expressive collaboration when it comes to their personal style. Like Whitney Port. I feel like she always looks classy, yet she has the ability to incorporate trendy items without looking trendy.

In a few weeks I am headed to Chi town to make some wardrobe purchases. Im starting a list now of new items I'd like to look for so when I get there I'll know exactly what I'm looking for! 

Anyways its been a long day so I'm going to go relax.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Cioa!

easy-going monday night

try this!

Ingredient

1 cup long-grain rice

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces

kosher salt and black pepper

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup large pimiento-stuffed olives, quartered

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

3/4 cup dry white wine

3/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Directions

Cook the rice according to the package directions.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

 Season the chicken with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

 Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 6 minutes

Add the tomatoes, olives, and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Return the chicken to the skillet and add the wine. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened, 4 to 6 minutes

Stir in the parsley. Serve with the rice.

we have made this again since the first try. if you like spanish/mediterranean style of cuisine then you are going to love this! and the best thing is that it is simple!

ive fallen off the blogosphere

lately i have been thinking a lot about how i would make my first post back on the scene. what would i say? so much has changed in my life in the last month both for the bad but also for the good.. it can begin to seem overwhelming to even begin to just scratch the surface. so that being said, i decided that im just going to pick up with the good that is going on right now.

a little over 3 weeks back we had the joyous arrival of our sweet baby Emma Reese Mason. She was born on April 2nd at 1:40 pm. i just cant seem to get enough of her! she is so delicate and beautiful. i never thought i would single out a baby by saying things like "she's the smartest baby i know." i feel so proud to be her auntie! 

when i stop and think about the fact that a year has gone by since i was last in michigan,starting out the summer season,i cant believe how quickly time passes. so much can happen in one year and it makes me wonder how much will change with in this coming year..? last summer was sooo great that its hard to imagine that this would could even come close to being as good. already on the agenda though, are some exciting things to look forward to. not only this summer but this coming fall..which i will make a whole other post about soon. so anyways, im back blog-world! 

xoxo
