Missoni Fail

Today is the day, Missoni hits a Target near you


However the website crashed numerous times so we made a trip to the store over lunch...




and nothing...

Hope others had better luck than we did...and if not think of it this way-
We won't have an awkward run-in with someone wearing the same recognizable multi-colored zig zag shoes, shirt, sweater, skirt, dress, boots, hat, scarf, swim suit or jacket.

We Remember


Hope you took some time yesterday to remember those who lost their lives, and to think about those who lost loved ones, as well as the heroes who risked their lives, in the tragic attack in New York City ten years ago.

Here is an amazing shot from Arrowhead Stadium yesterday, as players, fire fighters, cheerleaders, and soldiers held a field-length flag. The National Anthem was followed by a fly over and fireworks. There was an amazing feeling of American pride and spirit throughout that stadium yesterday, and I am so glad I got to be a part of it. Unfortunately The Chiefs got slaughtered, but it was a great turnout and a great 9-11 tribute.

Grilled Tilapia & Shrimp


We made this great flavorful dish on the grill, and it is a must make if you like fish or shrimp (we did a little of both)

Ingredients
4 tilapia fillets (or any fish would work)
1/2 lb of shrimp, peeled with tail on
2 Tbsp olive oil
5 or 6 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced 
salt & pepper
fresh herbs (we used parsley and basil), torn
1 container of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 c kalamata olives, halved
handful of capers, more if you want
1 lemon

Wrap a shallow baking sheet with tin foil around the top and the bottom. Drizzle olive oil in the baking sheet, and add the thinly sliced garlic cloves.

Place the tilapia fillets and the shrimp on top of the garlic and olive oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle with the fresh herbs, halved cherry tomatoes, halved kalamata olives, and capers. Add some lemon juice and scatter some slices around. Drizzle with a little olive oil all over.

Place on top of grill and put the lid down. When the fish is firm and flaky, and shrimp is pink and opaque, you are done! Enjoy!

Perfect Pairing

It's about that time for another edition of "Perfect Pairing."  This time we are inspired by a head over heels Romantic Kitchen.  Not exactly Fall feeling, but I am not sure if I am ready for fall yet so one more summery, early September room and an outfit to tide us over. 

Living In

Romantic Kitchen

Going Out
Detailed Sleeves make this Blouse fit the Romantic feel this Kitchen possesses



An Asymmetrical skirt makes this outfit interesting and the color matches the flowers in the room 
This Belt adds another Romantic element, the bow, and the pop of color mimics the lovely barstools in the Kitchen that I am so jealous of
*as of today ZARA.com is now selling merchandise online...best news*


Teardrop Jewles on this lovely necklace look similar to the Chandilier and set the same glitzy mood


These fun Scalloped earrings have the same color palatte of the room and the pattern really adds something to this Romantic Look


An Envelope Wristlet helps complete the look by adding another texture, done just like the raw unfinished celilings





These shoes add the "ta-da" to this look the same way that the side table and the accesories finish the room, how perfect!



Get inspired by decorators and fashionistas, furniture and wardrobes, accessories and...accessories.  Keep your eyes open and stay creative.
