15 Minute Fish

On days where my body needs to eat a healthy dinner and I either have no time, or am just too tired, I buy a small piece of fish (tonight I bought a piece of sea bass), dice a small tomato and cut up a shallot. I lay all of this on a piece to tin foil, sprinkle with pepper and a dash of olive oil. Then I simply fold the foil into a pouch and pop in the over at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

It Feels Like Home

A year I moved into my apartment on the UES of the city. Since college, I've gotten into this rut of not putting enough effort into making my apartments feel homey. I supposed it's the idea of thinking that it's a temporary space, so why bother. Well I've decided enough is enough and it's time to make my apartment feel like my home. Below are images, items, colors, patterns that I'm using as a source of inspiration.

1. I love everything about this room. The pink with white molding, the table and LOVE the mix of patterns.

2. House Beautiful's current pink issue is amazingly gorgeous. These walls are so unapologetically pink!

3. Urban Outfitters Slipper Chair - Turquoise Ikat $329
4. I'm not usually one for abstract art, or at least I didn't think I was. I came across Sally Benedict's painting while flipping through a magazine and her work changed my mind. There's something about the colors and paint strokes that is both energetic and calming at the same time.

5. There's something very adult to me about having a small bar ready and waiting to entertain. I want one!

It's All In The Wrist

Lately, my obsession with bracelets has reached an all time high. I love accessorizing an outfit with a stack of bracelets and feel instantly put together. For me, my fashion tastes range from preppy chic to a little edgy. I love the juxtaposition of matching a "punky" bracelet with a girly, frilly outfit and vice versa.

Here are a few picks I would love to add to my growing collection.
