I Like Her Style....(Most of the Time!)

Lately I have really been liking Megan Fox's casual style. She always mixes cute pieces from Splendid, LNA or Juicy Couture with great jeans by True Religion or Current Elliot. Sometimes her style can be hit or miss, but more often than not, I think she looks cute! Here are a couple of my favorite casual outfits Megan has worn lately

Miso Hungry!

Tonight I felt like something warm and tasty for dinner, so I cooked up my own vegan miso/wonton soup hybrid out of bits and pieces from the refridgerator. To make the sweet/spicy/salty filling I chopped a block of medium firm tofu very finely and sauteed it in EVOO with some white onion and garlic. Once the onions and garlic were cooked, I added a small scoop of natural peanut butter, a drizzle of soy sauce, and a squirt of spicy sriracha sauce and put it aside. I made the yummy broth out of some miso paste I had on hand, a little veggie stock, shelled edamame beans, fresh corn and chopped green onions. I let the broth boil and I folded together the tasty wonton pockets and then tossed the little bundles in to cook! After a really easy 30 min preparation, my delicious soup hybrid was done! Yum!

Panthere de Cartier

A few days ago I stumbled across this beauty while surfing the web and quickly fell in love! Made from 18-carat yellow gold, peridot, onyx and black lacquer, this giant makes quite the statement! I'm not usually one to go for large rings, (or cats for that matter! lol!), but I adore this ring! I don't adore the massive price tag so much, but a girl can dream right? Here is a pic of my favorite little hipster Kristen Stewart rocking the Panthere in a recent Vanity Fair photo shoot with my other favorite Robert Pattinson! Click the pic for a closer view.

I found this knock-off on ebay for less than $100, so I may try to re-create my own Cartier. It just isn't as gorgeous, but it will have to do...unless I win the lottery one day and can rock a real Panthere!

My Artwork

In high school I was really into art and painting. As the years since graduation have passed, I slowly stopped anything really "artsy" or creative. I guess I have always been busy with work or friends...Pretty poor excuse I know, I know. Well, anyways, lately I have been feeling the "itch" to haul out my gigantic box of paints and do something creative. I unearthed my acrylics a few weeks ago and just sat on our patio and painted. As you can tell, I found a couple of old peacock feathers that I thought would look neat. I am so excited to start painting again. It was such a huge part of my teenage life, so I am very happy to be embracing that side of myself again.

Yeah, I know these are a little cheesy, but I like em! I can't wait for another sunny day to sit in the sun and just create! Happy painting! :)
