Fashion Week Dress Choices + OOTD + Weekend Sales

Happy Friday!  Tonight I am attending an event for Fashion Week and then tomorrow we are celebrating a good friend's 40th birthday on a fun harbor cruise.  Lots of fun plans this weekend!

I posted both of these dresses on my instastories asking for help which one to wear tonight.  The red was the clear winner which was funny because I was leaning towards the black.  I sized up in both dresses, I am typically a 4 but did a 6 in both of these because they are fitted.  

Red Dress | also HERE
Black Dress | also HERE and HERE

Last night we had our monthly supper club.  
This is what I wore.  I love the off shoulder top and the embroidery detail around the neckline.  It does run on the large side so size down, I am wearing an XS.  

The top also comes in a dress version and today LOFT is running a mystery sale,  you just enter your email and get a discount code, so you can save on both the blouse and dress.

CR is running their Spring event where if you spend $150, you can save $50.  I am a huge fan of all the CR products.  It truly is a great skincare line. 
Use code SPRING50.
The Discovery Kit is a great way to try out all the products.  They sent me this package first and I loved everything I tried so I started ordering the full size products.  

I love the Extreme Recovery Cream.  It is a thicker cream that really hydrates.


I also use this face oil everyday it's amazing.  I put it on my face first thing before anything else.

I also really like the sheer renewal cream.  It is a lighter cream than the extreme recovery.  I alternate between the two.

Private sale started, you can shop it all HERE and scroll through to see a few of my top picks.





Members save 20% off all full priced items this weekend with code SPRINGPERK.
I bought this tie sleeve tee in white last week and it is super cute on.

What I Wore | Black Tunic Dress


Last year I bought this dress from Anthropologie and it was my favorite.  It was made out of the perfect material that was soft (not cotton), didn't really wrinkle,  and was not clingy.  Well that same line came out with a new dress in a different style and I am obsessed.  
It is a light weight dress and perfect casual or dressed up.  The best news is when I went to look up the dress for this post I saw it was reduced and now 50% off!!  I promise you will love this dress.  I am wearing the black but it also comes in a dark green color as well.
The dress runs TTS, I am wearing a small.

This pendant necklace is a favorite of mine.  Great alone or layered.
I ordered these sandals during the Shopbop Sale and they are super versatile.  Great paired with jeans and dresses.  They run TTS.  I just saw they also come in a wedge version HERE- so cute and on major sale.

Thai Chicken Meatballs + Curry Cauliflower + Dressing Room Find | Tee Shirt Dress

Happy Humpday guys!  I had several requests to share the recipes from my instastory Monday night featuring these Thai meatballs and curry cauliflower.  I have to say both were amazing.  The flavors were off the hook good and both were relatively easy to make and healthy.  The meatballs have no bread in them just chia seeds to bind so they are super light and tasty.

I swear I only have one kid that is a good eater at a time.  Right now it is Sterling.  As I was making the meatballs he exclaimed that looks gross like 10 times.  The green stuff always throws him for a loop.  After he sat down to eat them, he looked at me and goes " Mom,  you were right these are awesome." Winning mom moment, I love when I am right:)  Frances however would not touch dinner and went to bed hungry.  Go figure, at least one child appreciated my cooking skills.  These are a little spicy so use less hot sauce if you don't want them as spicy. 

I loved both and I also paired mine with my favorite Asian Kale Salad.  The 3 make a pretty killer dinner combo in my book:) 
Enjoy!

|| T H A I   C H I C K E N  M E A T B A L S || 

- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1.5 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 3 green onions sliced finely
- 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds

FOR THE GLAZE

- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha


Put all the ingredients for the meatballs in a medium bowl.  Use your hands to mix all together.  Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.  This gives the chia seeds time to bind everything together. 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

With damp hands gently roll the chicken mix into balls.  Don't squeeze the meat too much.  Arrange them on the baking sheet.  Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

In a large skillet, whisk together ingredients for the glaze.  Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook about 1 minute or until it slightly thickens.  Add meatballs to skillet and shake to gently coat with glaze.  Serve warm.

- 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 3 tablespoons vegenaise
- juice of one lime
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put the cauliflower on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, curry, and salt.  Roast for 20 minutes.

Mix vegenaise and lime juice in a large bowl.  When cauliflower is done toss it in this mixture.  Add cilantro and mix all together.
