Ultimate Chopped Salad + Chambray Romper

When we were in NYC a few months ago we had lunch at Fred's at Barney's. I had their chopped salad and loved it. This is a spin on it! The one I had there didn't have blue cheese or bacon but I had some on hand so I added it in. Let's be real bacon and cheese are never a bad idea, EVER.

I used green goddess dressing for mine- local friends Dellz's has the best goddess dressing and they sell it by the bottle now. I always buy it when I pick up lunch. It's so good I could drink it. This would also be great served with a balsamic dressing as well.

Enjoy!

|| U L T I M A T E C H O P P E D S A L A D ||

- 1 head romaine shredded thinly

- 1 avocado chopped and drizzled with lemon juice and salt

- 1 pear diced

- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

- 1/2 cup chopped red onion

- haricot verts (french green beans), chopped into 1 inch pieces

- 6 pieces cooked and crumbled bacon

- 1/4 cup blue cheese

- 1 rotisserie chicken shredded

- green goddess or balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the green beans in and boil for 3 minutes. Remove and place in an ice bath. Drain and then chop into 1 inch pieces.

Cook bacon and crumble.

Assemble lettuce, tomatoes, pears, avocados, beans, bacon, cheese, red onion and chicken in a large bowl. Toss all together before serving and drizzle with dressing.

Stripe Tee Shirt Dress + Neutral Shoes I am Loving

Today is all about shoes! I wanted to share a few favorites that are great for now and into the Summer.

Outfit Details:

Dress | Booties | Purse Similar | Sunglasses (on sale)

My tee shirt dress is under $50 and the perfect casual dress. I went with a size medium because I wanted a loose boxy fit and sometimes dresses in the junior's section run small. I am wearing the gray color, but it also comes in a white/navy option.

These Rag and Bone booties are an investment but they are my favorite booties. I can't tell you often I wear them. Added bonus they are comfortable I can wear them all day and they don't bother my feet. I bought these probably 4 years ago and they have held up really well.

Newbury Booties in Camel | Black | Gray

I love this new style out for Spring with the cut out detail.

Newbury Booties

This BP version is very similar to the Rag and Bone ones and under $100. They come in several colors.

I also wanted to mention that my favorite slip on sneakers by Ugg are now out in 2 new versions. I am normally a 9 and did a 9.5 in these.

I am wearing the tan version here.

Ugg Sneakers

Ugg Fierce

A few other neutrals I am loving. Many of these are under $100 too. Nordstrom always is my go-to for shoes because they carry so many great brands in different price ranges. They also offer free shipping and do price matching.
