I hope this weekend never ends! I am having so.much.fun. I went exploring on a 2mi walk and found this great juice cafe where I sampled the V6 (kale, lemon, cuke, celery, beet & carrot) which revved me right up for my return walk back to my place. Nate had the slice of life (carrot, ginger, apple) and loved it! I am thrilled to see the sun today…gotta soak up that vitamin D while I can!
This is a bit late but I decided to give up fruit for lent both fresh and dried. Apricots are practically crack to me and I’d end up getting so full of dried fruit and then I’d get a stomach ache haha. So this “sacrifice” is a bit self serving but I’m trying to teach myself some discipline as well. So far, I’m doing great! Only 36 more days to go!
Please excuse my hair it hasn’t been washed in 4 days!? Here’s what I wore today:
Button down plaid: J Crew
Discount skirt that’s a size too big that I rolled: GAP
Tights: Anthropologie
Flats: H&M
Tempting but I won’t let it touch my lips…
I have a hot date tonight at Legume! It will be my first trip to this bistro and they update their menu daily and post it after 5pm. Every meal is a surprise! I’m seeing tons of green plastic beads so I know tonight will be quite a party night (guess they are getting an early start since St. Patty’s for another 5 days!)
1. Are you Irish? Do you celebrate? I’m not a drop of Irish so I usually don’t partake in the festivities.
2. Do you dress for comfort or for making a statement no matter your comfort level? I try to dress for the occasion, in this case I knew I’d be walking so I wore flats.
your tights are SO cute! I used to dress more to make a statement, but in my old age (… I’m twenty), I’ve found myself running towards things that are comfortable. I’m sure I’ll be in orthotics shoes by 40.
old age?! hahaha then i’m a dinosaur at 28! ;D cmon girl, suffer for fashion a little ;p
I’m like you, I dress for the occasion. If i have to walk, I’ll wore comfy shoes.
love your outfit! i don’t know how you can give up fruit?!? i feel like that’s something that’s good for you – usually i try giving up something that’s not good for me. i guess everything in moderation though, so if you think you eat too much of it – then maybe it’s not so good for you!
i’m not irish at all, but i partake in the st. paddy’s festivities about half of the time. last year got a little out of hand, so i’m not sure that i’ll celebrate much this year…
oh it isn’t that hard! there are loads of other things to eat!
I usually don’t comment on ”fashion” related post but I have to say that you look quite good. I like your outfit and there is something with not washing your hair for 4 days…it looks great!
as for your questions :
I have irish blood and I may celebrate although it means literally nothing for me. I dress for comfort.
haha thanks! shampooing long hair is a little over-rated and time consuming so i just started doing it 1-2x weekly and that’s it!
I actually shampoo less too and my hair is shorter! I notice a big difference.
Btw, was it with you that I had a conversation over twitter about mogwai a great while ago?
I got my tix. I am seeing them – again- in less than a month!
yep that was me. fellow mogwai lover! i’m jealous! have fun at the show!
Your blog is too cute! I just started reading.. I would have trouble giving up fruit! lol. I love your tights; I need to get some cute ones. The juices sound fantastic – I juice everyday and can’t live without it!
if i was vegan, i think giving up fruit would be hard too! however, i eat lots of meat/veg and nut/seed butters so i’m not missing fruit too much!
That V6 sounds right up my alley! Love that combo.
Giving up fruit for lent? I could never do it! I am not a dried fruit junkie though. And if it’s bothering your belly, good to have a purpose I suppose.
You look adorable in your outfit. Always do. I dress for comfort and live in stretch pants, tanks and cute hoodies. My profession gives me no reason to dress cute like that during the week
I am NOT a fan of St Pattys Day. At all. Not a drop Irish either, and prefer to avoid the drinken crowds (bah humbug, I know)
yeah i’m kinda over the day drunken crowds! hope you are feeling good soon to be mama!
I went for a little walk too! It was so nice here.
I wish my hair looked that good for not being washed after 4 days
Good luck with the no fruit. I have had no fruit (because of my candida) for two weeks. I never thought I could do it, but I am actually not missing it as much as I thought.
gah thank you! yeah i thought i would be craving it badly but i am craving sweet things a little more so i caved in and had a moondance dessert ‘fudge brownie’ tonight. it’s gluten free and sooooo rich. loved it! i’m glad nate split it with me though since it’s super dense!
