Maxed Out

I know it's been a loooooong time since I've done a post on my biggest style stalk, Olivia Palermo, but that doesn't mean I haven't creepin' her online.  I'm on the look out for a maxi skirt, scouring the thrift for a bargain or vintage find. It's in the high seventies, low eighties here in Tejas so I want to take advantage of the mild weather before the blistering heat sets in.  Crossin' my fingers I can find one.  Here is O's POV on the maxi skirt.  Are you down with this trend?  My fave is the one with the umbrella...

This Week's Obsession

I am absolutely mesmerized by Olga Puga, a stylist and fashion blogger from Australia.  Her taste and awareness of color are impeccable.  Her blog OStyle is the shiznit, plus her legs are to die for.  Great photography, beautiful scenery, and killer threads.  Check it out!

Dallas Arboretum

This past Friday afternoon, Mom and I enjoyed a picnic and a bottle of pinot at the Dallas Arboretum.  In honor of the first day of spring, here are some pics from our day.  Enjoy the tulips :)

Shrimp Ceviche

For today's Sunday Dinner I whipped up a quick and refreshing shrimp ceviche.  The colors of the ingredients create an impressive presentation and the simple recipe makes this dish perfect for an intimate gathering or a large group.

Shrimp Ceviche

2 pounds peeled, cooked shrimp

4 small avocados

1 mango

1/2 red onion

1 tomato

1/2 cucumber

1 bunch of cilantro

4 limes

1 lemon

dice all vegetables, cut cilantro as small as possible and combine with shrimp in mixing bowl.  squeeze lemon and limes into mixture.  chill for 30 minutes.  serve in martini glasses.

Lauren Conrad Style

I happened across this amazing 3.1 Phillip Lim at Last Call the other day and just couldn't resist giving it a go.  Of course, since I'm not supposed to be shopping right now, it fit like a friggin' glove.  I hope someone gives it a good home.  $200 and the most gorgeous butterscotch color. Please excuse crappy phone pic.

Once I got it on, I immediately recognized it as my favorite of Lauren Conrad's looks!

Although she's a little cutesy for my taste most of the time, and I was really disappointed in her ombre extension phase, she does pull through with some bangin' outfits.  Here are a few of her best looks.  Are you looking forward to her new show?  I am, but only to fill the gaping hole in my heart that the cancelation of The City has left.
