vegan leather and camo

i took my vegan leather pants out for one last spin before the weather here gets too hot to even think about pulling them on!  and since i feel especially badass in pleather (so wrong but so right), i paired them with with camo jacket and then added the sparkly shoes to bring in some femininity.  my love/hate relationship with pleather is slowing turning into a love affair!  {more after the jump}

nori veggie wraps- my everyday staple

this isn't so much a recipe as a suggestion because it's so simple.   it's also something i eat every single day.  i'm a creature of habit and when i find something i love i usually eat it non stop until the day comes when the idea of it turns my stomach.  i expect i'll be eating one of these a day at least through august.  the perfect light and healthy meal for midday.  and, the secret ingredient gives it just the kick i need to fully satisfy.  {more after the jump, including an animation!}

ASK SARAH: WHAT TO WEAR TO A WEDDING IN BALI?

today's ask sarah question came from my friend lucy, an australian living in germany who is just about as entertaining and fun as they come. i adore her!  so, here we go....

QUESTION: I am going to a wedding in Bali in October, I need a dress - and I have no idea what's good. The reason I am stumped  is that it will be tropical, like humid/ hot - and you just can't do silky numbers in those conditions. I know you love shopping, and vicariously is good for your wallet. Got any good recommendations? Holla. Your mate, Lucy

ANSWER: oh darling lucy, i  do love shopping for other people.  you know me well!  here's what I rounded up for you.  three looks, all perfectly suited to the tropics ( i do not worry about silky dresses so long as they're sleeveless!) when i think about bali i think of bright colors, palm trees and warm breezes.  and weddings are the perfect excuse to look your most fabulous.  without further ado...

this is my first option for you.  the shoes are an investment (but also really versatile so can be worn for years to come) and the rest is all very wallet friendly.  i'd wear this with hair down in loose waves and a bright coral lip (like this).  the blue would make your eyes pop, the dress would flatter your curves, the shoes would give you some height/length and you'd look perfectly, effortlessly, tropical-lucy fabulous.  

SHOP THIS LOOK: dress: asos, cuff: luv aj, shoes: DVF, bag: zara  more after the jump!

Friday Roundup

hi everyone.  i had most of this post prepped last night with all of my weekly links and only this paragraph to write this morning.  and as most of the country is, i'm glued to the tv watching unimaginable news about the bombers/boston.  my heart and thoughts are with you boston.  i'm focusing on the heroes, the generosity, the resilience.  there is evil, but there is far, far more goodness, beauty, and love.  and the evil will never be able to take that away.  sending you all so much love.  may you and yours be safe.   xx- sarah {more after the jump}
