Links live in the wilds ...

Puns! It must be after dinner.

So, after making a "what's laying around" salad (romaine, radishes, cucumber, and a quickie vinaigrette) and seafood pasta (shrimp with herbs, pepper, chili flakes, garlic and olive oil tossed in kamut penne), I decided to relax a little in the mighty sea of blogs.

Links? Well, it probably doesn't come as a surprise that I love me a good fashion blog. And beyond the Satorialist, which is pretty much a staple for us all, there's a few I've come across that merit some sharing.

Yours Truly, x features a very adorable English lady who takes her boyfriend on 'London Dates', wears vintage, has mood boards aplenty, and really adores cooking. She's not saccharine so it's totally not annoying if you read several posts in one go (as some blogs similar to this have been). Her sense of style is that great fusion of what's just ahead and lots of influence from the past. And her read hair is gorgeous.

Nest   is a blog to make your house super-stylish, so in a sense, still a fashion blog. Meg Allen-Cole also appeared on the webseries "Threadbanger", which I hate to say totally went downhill after Meg and Rob and Corrine all left. This blog even features a tour of her Brooklyn apartment and of course, it'll make you a green-eyed monster in ten seconds flat.

What I Wore Today is totally more personal, but for sure nice to see how a fellow person dresses. What I mean by that is the people in the photographs from the Satorialist, say, always seem so unbelievably good at dressing, to the point where I'm suspicious. It's probably not warranted, and they are that put-together or original. But she's more down-to-earth. She works, and isn't a supermodel, which adore.

Style Rookie is again the stuff of legend. A 14 year-old suburban Chicago kid, Tavi has become famous for her insights into the world of mainstream fashion. Skeptics and nay-sayers aside: even if she fades from the spotlight, or goes in a totally non-fashion direction, the pictures of what she wears to school will last. And they'll never stop being just, so COOL. I've never had the stones (or, to be fair, the cash) to pull of what she's wearing to middle school. You can't criticize her for not standing out.

She's also so pop culture-savvy, she even rivals my boss. Which is huge.

And we end with street peeper, which is exactly what it sounds like. Cool kids wearing cool clothes. Not my fave, worth a look, though.

Roommate just scared me three grey hairs, so I gotta calm down. Phew!

Enjoy if you're a style geek like me :)

Oh, hai June

It's getting hot here on the Coast. Finally. And I've got the burns to prove it!

I really wanted some iced tea, but decided to bypass the fruity, citrus thing. Love it, I wanted something else.

So, I took a bit of raw sugar, and three tea bags (one vanilla Earl Grey, two Bengal spice) and threw 'em in a pitcher. Hot water on top, steep for five to seven minutes, fridge that mother, and in a few hours, you have the basis for some delish creamy tea by mixing in a bit of milk.

And I'm sure it could be made alcoholic, but I'm not sure with what. Kahlua? You'd probably know better, internoms.

Been busy. Very busy. Something more substantial than tea next time :)
