Fall & Evergreen FAshion
Farmer's Market Haul
This morning, after doing yoga, the kids and I headed over to the farmer’s market. We’ve been waiting for good weather to grab some peaches and after three thwarted attempts, we woke up to sunshine and immediately headed out the door lest we miss the opportunity due to another swift summer storm.
Lunch Date Outfit
This was the outfit I put together for a lunch date with Jordan and a friend. It’s been a while since I’ve made lunch plans with a friend. I believe the last time I made lunch plans was late mid-pandemic.
Sweaters & Hats
When it’s the season of sweaters and all that winter gear, I make sure to play around with layers to keep it fun and I throw on my favorite evergreen accessories — necklaces and felt hats. Here are five variations.
The Creative Wrestle
It was a good, but weird week. That’s how I’ve described it to people who’ve asked. How else would you describe a week where each day was a mental fight with fear, but at the end of it, you came out the other side to see that you created beautifully?
A Gentle Resolution
On New Year’s Eve I didn’t dress up, light fire crackers, and participated in conversations that bled into one. I clank wine glasses with sparkling cider, dress in my robe, and I was in bed by 11:49. Jordan and I laugh that we almost made it to midnight. I was tired and I expected I would enter the new year that same very way.
Ube Coconut Cream Pie 2.0
Last year I started experimenting with Filipino flavors in my favorite American desserts. I created a solid Ube Coconut Cream Pie, but I wanted to make it better. I loved the layer of soft yellow of the coconut cream layered with a muted purple of the ube layer, but it wasn’t the signature purple that Filipinos so often associate with the ube yam.
Sunday Funday
Happy Sunday! Today is the first day the sun has come out this week. Getting cozy is the key to surviving these gray cloudy winter days. But when that sun comes out, I want to peel myself off of the sofa and unearth myself for the layers.
A Portrait of a Southern Filipina
I’m heading home for the holidays and every time I return to the state I spent my formative years, I feel tense. It doesn’t help that on the drive down to the South, I’m confronted with the occasional Confederate flag.
