Weekend Wrap-up

 After my shopping trip, some of my friends and I had a Mexican themed family dinner on Friday night. My contribution was black bean salsa - so simple and SO DELICIOUS.

black beans, tomatoes, corn, cilantro, cumin, salt, pepper, roasted red peppers, red onions, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic.

I spent Saturday doing homework and drinking an iced Almond Joy latte (nomnom) at the local coffee shop before going to an art show on campus. Best part? I got to wear my new polka dot tights!!

VS tank, F21 tank, DYI cut offs, H&M tights, VS hoodie, A&F scarf, UO sneakers, UO sunglasses

Note my canvas shopping bag, perfect size for my Macbook and notebook. Also, my landlord happened to walk down this alley right after I took this picture. Close call.

And now, on this lovely Sunday evening, I'm cuddling on the couch with my kitty watching the Comedy Awards. Life is good.

my pretty Sheva kitty!

Loose Ends

This post is going to be a little sporadic, so bear with me.

Part One: Fettucine Alfredo, the ultimate comfort food.

I used Giada's recipe as a reference (less lemon juice, no lemon zest, add green peas, sprinkle parsley) and it turned out pretty delicious. Dad and Nick devoured it, which is a pretty high compliment considering how critical Nick can be of my cooking ("You're a woman! You're supposed to be like Martha Stewart! You belong in the kitchen, you have to make only delicious things!).

Part Two: The Crazy Things You Do When You Become a Blogger

I went Christmas shopping in Connecticut (yay, no sales tax!) yesterday and finally got all of my gifts squared away. As a congratulatory measure, I took some time to do a little light shopping (there were some amazing sales going on, I can't pass that up) and found myself taking outfit pictures in the dressing room. I don't know how this happened, and I apologize to the general public.

Featuring:

dress, Modcloth; cardigan, Old Navy; scarf, American Apparel; boots, Kenneth Cole

This dress is so comfortable and so cute. I've worn it countless times, overall a great purchase. Thanks, Modcloth!

To make up for my social faux pas, I bought a top at H&M for $5 that I have been eyeing for two months and a really comfy pair of jeggings (with pockets!) at NY&Co. for $13. Success!

Part Three: Out-take

This is my Mary-Kate Olsen impression, it is inspired by this: Very Mary-Kate

Okay, now I seriouslyyyyy need to start packing and doing laundry. I have a job interview tomorrow and I am signing the lease for my apartment/hunting for furniture! But I have SO MUCH to do before then, gah!

I'ma get more shine than a little bit

We had our first real snowfall last night (an inch and a half! woo!), so I spent today cuddled up in sweatpants being domestic. Besides doing a lot of cleaning, I made quiche! So easy, and sooo yummy.

Step 1: saute peppers and onions

Step 2: combine 5 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, and salt/pepper to taste

Step 3: add peppers/onions to mixture and pour into pie crust

Step 5: bake at 375 for 35 minutes

I made some roasted potatoes and hollandaise sauce to go with it. I'm going to make an awesome housewife one day haha.

Side note: while washing dishes/cleaning out the fridge, I was blaring the MTV Hits station and this song motivated me so hard.

I wish I was that cool when I was 9.
