Forever Friday: Chocolate Lovin

So I have this problem.  Sometimes weird crap speaks to me for no apparent reason.  Like this chocolate metallic mesh nonsense.  I feel like the chocolateyness kinda tones down the hoochiness.  Or maybe I am just imagining that.  Whatever, it's only $22.80.

Buy it!

Get Your School Spirit On.

Aw. Nostalgia.  Also it looks super soft.  And it's $12 at Target, cheaper than anything you can find in the bookstore.

(they have a Harvard tee too if you are into that sort of thing - but you can also find that at Forever 21)

Buy it.

Hello, Sweetness.

I like this top because:

1. It's feminine and pink without being too twee or silly;
2. There is some weird boob jungle gym thing going on, but it doesn't bother me; and
3.  It would look equally cute with a dark pair of skinnies or tucked into a pencil skirt for work.

Hold Me Closer, Tiny Dancer

I love ballerina wrap sweaters like this.  I also love these waxed denim pants. I love them together, provided you are fit enough to pull off wearing skinny ass pants with a top that does not cover your hips and upper thighs.  It's a pretty and romantic look for fall that isn't sickly sweet.  I also love that this whole outfit is under $60 at H&M.

Here it is.

Under $20 Alert! Mod and Navy

Get thee to your local H&M!  This adorable little dress is only $19.95!  I totally own a nearly identical Theory dress, which was sadly about 10 times the price of this dress.  It is definitely not 10 times more awesome.  I am kinda peeved about that now.

Receipe Review: The Best Broccoli of Your Life.

So this recipe I found on the Amateur Gourmet for Roasted Broccoli claims to be the "Best Broccoli of Your Life."  Yeah, it was pretty damn good.  It is simple and fast too.  Just cut up some broccoli, toss with a little olive oil and coarse salt and throw on some sliced garlic.  It cooks in about 20 minutes.  There are some optional ingredients (like cheese), most of which I left out of mine.

Very good? Yes.  Was it the best broccoli of my life?  I am not sure about that.  Maybe if I added cheese...
