(skirt: vintage; blouse: thrifted; shoes: seychelles; faux fur collar: h&m; ring: gift; earrings: flea market)

I got these amazing earrings at the flea market on Saturday (along with a pretty fan necklace). They bring me much joy. Aren't they lovely? Also, I can't remember the last time I wore this faux fur collar! I felt a bit bare in my boring old tank top (even if it is gold) this morning, and I decided that the collar would be just the ticket. This definitely feels like more of an autumn look, but that's okay. It feels like the dead of winter in my office (grrrr A/C), so this is a good compromise :)

K and I are trying this new thing where we eat meals together (aka the same food at the same time). He's a carnivore and I'm an herbivore, but lately he's been more willing to branch out into the great big world of veggie-friendly foods, and I've kind of been excited about the prospect of cooking for two. Since he's been begging me to make lasagne since long before I left town, last night we popped open a bottle of bubbly (because, why not, it was Tuesday!), I cooked up a delicious dish of cheesy goodness (my super-easy recipe to come), and we settled in to watch The Bachelorette (I think he is secretly really into it). I've felt like I'm really packing the days full lately (some good, some bad--like before I cooked dinner I had to wash the dishes and we had to go grocery shopping, and tonight we have to do laundry...ugh) and I just drop into bed at night, totally exhausted. I really do need to find some time to exercise, though. Especially if I'm going to be eating lasagne every night...

  2. You look super glamorous! And I love those earrings, what a good find. My office is also an icebox these days, although with temperatures in the upper nineties I try to appreciate it.

  6. My boyfriend eats meat and fish and being a veggie I don't eat either, but we always eat together, it would make me really sad cooking for one- I've been doing that for 4 years already! Quality dinner time is really important to me as I didn't have that at my family home. My boyfriend & I always do quorn mince for a veggie lasagne, and together we have perfected the best lasagne recipie. He likes quorn because he says, being on a budget, it's much nicer than low price meat.

    There are foods I like that he doesn't, so when he's having meat it's my chance to have those (like olives and chutneys).
