Another quick hello before I'm off to Vegas for a girls only weekend.  I used to think it was inaprop to wear cross trainers anywhere but the gym, but ever since i got these bright babies I can't seem to keep them off my feet.  I like to think they make me faster.

sweater ~ Gap

jeans ~ Levi's

cross trainers ~ Nike

bags ~ Pendelton, Fafi x Lesportsac 

Lets hope I hit the jackpot!

A quick hello before I'm off to a work conference in Indianapolis and then Vegas for 4 days for a friend's birthday!  Not to mention I just did a little road trip to Crater Lake.  Nice to pretend to be a jet setter for a month.  The boyf and George sure are sad though.  You can follow along my travels on Instagram.  

I pulled myself together a couple of days last week.  I love that grey sweatshirt too much.  I got splattered while painting the new apartment (note to self latex chalkboard paint doesn't wash out).  It was time for a new one anyway, but then it slowly crept back into rotation.  Oh well. :)

sweater ~ J. Crew

recent happenings: no. 7

Sigh.  I had written a nice post and some captions to go with all my photos.  Then I decided to upload a couple more photos via my iPhone and it reverted back to the post on my phone.  So instead, here's a lovely photo stream of whats been going on over the past two months.

recipe: pork meatball banh mi

this has been sitting in my drafts since january.  PA-THETIC.  i've thinking about this dish a lot lately, which means its probably time to make it again.  if you like sriracha and heat then this pork meatball banh mi recipe is for you.  

recipe via bon appetit

i stopped posting recipes on here mainly because they're never my own, so it seems weird to give you instructions on something that i technically didn't create.  however, i'm thinking i may do a weekly recap of what i cooked and a link to the recipes.  let me know what you think!
