Bruschetta, Bruschetta, Bruschetta

Need an easy, quick and healthy recipe that will make anyone satisfied after one bite? Well, I've got just the snack for you and your friends!

Though I am an avid lover of fashion and constantly am trying new styles, I never have actually attempted to cook anything on my own...until now!

I tried this recipe - one that I have never tried before - and absolutely fell in love with it!  Not only did it taste amazing, but it only took 20 minutes to make... Hard to believe, I know, but it is the truth!

This simple appetizer requires only six ingredients that can be found at any grocery store- tomatoes, garlic cloves, olive oil, salt and pepper, basil, and a baguette of French bread. 

My first experience of cooking went as smoothly as it possibly could...besides the crazy mess I made during this experiment!  When I first cut through the ripe tomatoes, my hands seemed tense.  This all changed, however, after cutting my sixth tomato - I even found the cutting to be relaxing and fun! 

Serve this appetizer during any fashion trunk show and your guests will most definitely leave satisfied...hopefully with a handbag or dress in hand!
The Final Product!

The Converse Comeback

Mischa Barton
That's right, everyone, Converse are making a comeback.  Leave those painful flats at home and experience the comfort and everyday wear these sneakers have to offer.  Originally known as "Chuck Taylor All-Stars," these stylish kicks can take an ordinary outfit and transform it into a completely new look.

It's hard to believe that Converse made their first appearance in 1908 in Massachusetts for professional basketball use.  Basketball players throughout the years have won games, championships, and more while wearing these lucky shoes.

Flash forward, and you'll see these sporty shoes have attracted a whole new generation.  Converse are not only sneakers, they are a style.  When these shoes are worn with the right outfit, they can transform your boring outfit into a look you'll never want to change.

Whitney Port 
Not sure what outfit to pair your new Chuck Taylor's with? Not to worry!  Countless celebrities have been spotted walking the streets of New York, Los Angeles, and London looking edgy and chic in their Chucks.  Mischa Barton rocked her black Converse with waxed black jeans. Whitney Port went for more of a festival look and paired her black high-tops with patterned shorts and casual tee.

Now it's your turn-what will you pair your Converse with?

Self Portrait

Four Hermès Bangles, Photographed by Ashley Anderson
With just one quick peek at my jewelry collection, you'll know in an instant just the kind of girl I am. 

Though these chic and stylish classic art pieces may seem like an ordinary bangle bracelet to you, there is certainly more to them than meets the eye.  Each of these precious Hermès bangles represents something different and unique to me.  The handcrafted and colorful illustrations ignite memories that will never be forgotten.  

Just a glance at the purple,pink, and blue pastel colors of the horses take me back to age 7 when I first rode my first pony, Louie.  What do your most prized jewelry pieces mean to you?
