Short Ribs Over Grilled Polenta

“There’s nothing more romantic than Italian food.” -Elisha Cuthbert

DSC_0091

I don’t think you can ever go wrong with short ribs and on top of grilled polenta its really a home run!  I made this dish for Walker a few weeks back and he fell in love with polenta (he had never had it before), which he called spolenta for about a week after.

Italian food is arguably one of my favorite things in the world.  I especially love homemade Italian food.  This dish is quick and easy.  As a started or even an entree with a light salad this recipe will wow everyone who comes in contact with it!

Care Free for Spring

“Fashion is instant language.” -Muccia Prada

I have posted this dress (which is only $26) a few times on my social and y’all have been going crazy over it!  I don’t blame you because I’ve only had it for about 3 weeks and I’ve already worn it about a dozen times.  The dress was originally solid blue but I had a little miss hap dyeing Easter eggs and decided to turn the dress into a DIY project.  The dress also comes in red, white and black.

Suit Up

      “Playing dress up begins at age of five and never truly ends.” -Kate SpadeMEGG-Apr8 (3 of 9)

I got this Theory suit about a month ago and I’ve already worn it three times. I wore it to a Daughter of the American Revolution tea with Walker’s mom, on Easter and to brunch. Sadly, its sold out now, WA! but I’ve linked similar ones here/here, here/here, here/here/here and here/here.

A little tweed suit is the perfect staple for spring- whether you’re going to work, church, brunch or spending time with your man’s mom, you really can’t go wrong.

Sunday Best

        “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” -Coco ChanelMEGG-APR2 (2 of 3)

Growing up Catholic, I went to Mass every Friday at school and every Sunday with my parents.  The church I went to with my parents was very casual.  It wouldn’t be a surprise to see men wearing swim trunks in the summer.  Even the priest wore Rainbow sandals under his robes.

The first time Walker went to Mass with me (we alternate every Sunday between Catholic Mass for me and Methodist Church for him) he showed up to pick me up wearing a suit.  I had to tell him that even wearing slacks would be over dressed.  But oh how the roles were reversed the next Sunday.  Walker picked me up for his Methodist service and told me I was too casual- “Casual?” I thought, “I’m wearing a fur!”.  I had on a fur vest, a knee length dress and Ralph Lauren ridding boots.  After being in his church for about 4 seconds I realized he was right.  These women (and men) were dressed to the nines!

So though it’s been a change and an adjustment, I really enjoy dressing up every other Sunday.  Going to church together has become somewhat of a “date” for us.  After Methodist service we have a fun and relaxing brunch and after Mass we go to our favorite little Greek spot.  Sunday’s have become my favorite day with him.

Today I’m sharing a Church look for spring!

We all want to be Rapunzel, am I right? But with the dyeing, and the bleaching, and the sun and all the other harmful things we do to our locks it seems that our life goal of one day having Rapunzel-like hair is simply out of reach.  Today, I’m sharing my favorite hair products with you! Now, I’m not promising your boyfriend will be able to scale the building using your hair, but I’ve found these products help keep my hair healthy and shinny.

If you are anything like me, you think this season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is seriously the best season of any Real Housewives in the franchise to date. While watching the past three episodes I have been mesmerized, not only by the Munchhausen controversy, but by the Kaftans (they’re not mumus Kent!) the ladies have been wearing! I find myself online shopping for them during every commercial break! Continue Reading
