Wednesday Wishes: Stitch Fix Edition

Below is basically what I'm dying to have in my closet RIGHT NOW, as well as, pieces that I most definitely would be requesting for my next Fix, if I were you! :) 

 

This buttery faux suede tee is amazing! And I'm wanting it bad! I love the subtly sexy V-Neck & the versatility of this top! Dress it up with black jeans, heeled booties & a moto jacket for drinks with the girls. Dress it down with a pair of boyfriend jeans & ankle boots. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! 

 This Pixley Bixby Bird Print Blouse is such a beautiful take on a simple black & white blouse. I love the adorable hummingbird print. It can be paired with white skinny jeans & a coral cardigan for Spring or tucked in to a black pencil skirt with pumps for the office.

 

I'm needing these burgundy ponte pants bad! They're perfect for styling under all of my favorite long sweaters & tees. They're also thick enough that I could get away with wearing shorter tops with them, too. I'd love to transition these versatile pants with a floral blouse & blush flats for Spring. Blush & burgundy?! Oh yes! Rock it. :) 

 

Flare jeans are back in style this season. Thank the Lord this renewed denim is on trend because they're super flattering! I love the versatility of them & how they easily dress up your casual day look. Pair them with chunky closed wedges & a flowy blouse. Another great way to style them is with a pair of heels, a tucked in top & a skinny belt to elongate your body even further. 

 Obsessed with this burgundy robe coat. Obsessed. It's such a closet staple & a statement piece all in one. This style of coat flatters every figure, too! It's basically an all around win, win. I could care less that TX chilly weather is just about over-I want it! :) Please, and thank you.

 Coated denim is the edgy girls dream come true. Or maybe it's just my dream come true? I have yet to full fill this denim trend hole in my closet & it's getting a little sad for me. ;) Dress them down with a simple white tee & black flats for an effortlessly casual chic look. The possibilities of dressing these up are, of course, endless. Style them with a tank & fringe necklace for drinks. Pair them with a flowy floral blouse & nude pumps for a flirty dinner out look.

 

What coated denim is to edgy chics, faux suede is to the boho ladies. Faux suede is oh so buttery that you'll want to wear your clothes inside out. Wear this dress to the office with a printed blazer & heels. Style it running errands with a pair of gladiator sandals (should you be in the South right now where it's blazing hot already) & a long, boho necklace. Style it up north with an over-sized sweater cardigan, leggings & ankle boots.

Last, love of the day that I wanted to share with you all is this faux shearling detail draped jacket in a winter cream. It's gorgeous. I love the monochromatic look right now of pairing creams & whites. Style this over a white blouse with white jeans & nude pumps for a fresh, winter look!  What Stitch Fix pieces are you loving!?

We Have A Chef in the Family!

  My sister in law Lauren graduated form Cooking School a few months ago. Okay, like 6 months ago. Yes, I know. I'm always behind in blogging. Anyways, part of her last semester was holding a restaurant, which meant that she was Executive Chef of the kitchen that day. She worked hard for weeks researching & planning her menu. We were thrilled to be invited & went up to Waco for lunch at her restaurant.

We were, of course, super exited to find out that she choose a Chinese inspired menu. On the menu was ginger soup, pear salad, Sichuan style cold mixed noodles, southern Chinese pepper steak, wanton Napoleon & dim sum, among other things.   We joined Lauren's family & Jacob, my brother, for lunch. Our servers were other culinary students in their 1st year of cooking school. Green Onion Cakes: Unleavened fried scallion bread served with a chili-garlic dipping sauce.   Our appetizer consisted of fried Chinese style bread with a yummy dipping sauce.    While waiting for our food we had to snap some selfies. :) Ginger Soup: Classic chicken consomme with a brunoise of ginger & onions along with lozenge carrots.    Our first course was some delicious soup with a subtle ginger flavor. It was very Chinese in that it had subtle flavors & let the chicken stock do the talking.  Pear Salad: A chilled mix of half-moon cucumbers, medium-diced carrots and a chiffonade of cabbage, tossed in a sesame oil pear dressing. Garnished with toasted black sesame seeds & a scallion blossom.   Second course was a crisp & fresh pear salad with cucumbers, celery, green onion & carrots. Topped with white & black sesame seeds. It was another very Chinese dish with the Asian pears & fresh veggies. 
For the main course, we ordered all three choices because your sister in law only graduates culinary school once & we wanted to try all of her creations!   Southern Chinese Pepper Steak: A spicy pepper steak made with USDA Choice Tenderloin presented over Szechuan green beans, a bed of white rice & braised mushrooms.    First up was delicious a rendition of Chinese pepper steak. It was served with white rice & an ammmazing spicy green beans & mushroom mixture on the side. That side was by far my favorite of the whole menu. I'm a sucker for spicy Chinese green beans & mushrooms. It's always my favorite. Fu Xi's Plate: Traditional steamed pork buns, chicken & chive phoenix eye & Shanghai shrimp served with a spicy sake sauce and rainbow kale slaw.  
Next, up we got Fu Xi's plate, which consisted of various dim soup & a kale side salad. It was pretty tasty. We're suckers for dumplings any time.   Sichuan style cold mixed noodles: Star anise poached chicken breast & julienned red bell peppers fanned over glass noodles with fresh mung bean sprouts, small diced onions & snow peas, tossed with peanut dressing & garnished with bias green onion.     Last, on the main course front, we got the Sichuan style cold noodles & chicken. I really enjoyed this dish. I loved, loved the peanut oil the noodles were tossed in. I also really enjoyed the bean sprout salad side.    WantonNapoleon: Deep fried wantons coated with powdered sugar, layered with vanilla bean pastry cream & fresh berries over a raspberry coulis.  
For dessert, Lauren served a delicate wanton Napoleon. It was light & yummy.    We had a great time & were so happy to be able to be there to support Lauren!  We're so proud of you sister!!
