hello february. it’s been a while since we last met. you’re off to a brisk start logging in at twenty-seven degrees. but today’s high is projected a balmy fifty-eight – i’ll take it! how has everyone been surviving the deep freeze? hopefully, you bundled up and parked your tush in front of a roaring fire. mr. style has been under the weather this week. typically we plan friday photo shoots a week in advance, so most of the pics were snapped. except for my weekly photo with oscar. so i took matters into my own hands and captured oscar and ollie loafing around the house on my iPhone. i think they turned out a-okay.
today’s ootd is easy peasy just like a friday outfit should be. a mixed striped sweater last seen here is back in action as are the tennis shoes. this time around i skipped the skinny jeans in favor of a comfy pair of vintage straight leg jeans from J.Crew.
oscar loves naptime. what dog wouldn’t love a real bed?!
sleep tight.
ollie is always up to one thing or another.
but she always looks innocent. who me?
cocktail hour on friday afternoon is the best way to wind down from a hectic week.
denim | striped sweater | shoes
cocktail shaker | bar tools | glasses
the cocktail recipe this week is called french tart. it tastes as good as it looks! and i love, love, love the name. for the first time, i doctored the recipe to suit my taste. make the original or choose to add my special ingredient – sparkling rose. the choice is yours.
stuffed peppers are comfort food to me. but if you tweak the ingredients – ground turkey instead of ground beef, brown rice exchanged for white rice – you can concoct a healthy version of a favorite recipe. add a salad, and this meal is complete.
phew! this week is history gang. and so is january. it’s on to february with love in the air. before we say goodbye oscar, ollie and i wish each of you a lovely weekend. stay warm!
