It’s only Tuesday and I’m already feeling pretty exhausted. I think the fact that it’s darker outside when I wake up now is totally throwing me off. Oh that extra hour…how I miss it.
This morning I made a conscious effort not to wear black…let’s see how I did:
Blouse- LOFT
Skirt- BCBG
Cardigan- Express
Shoes- Jessica Simpson
Belt- it was my grandmother’s

I mentioned I was getting my hair colored this weekend (just the underneath part) because the highlights were too bright/yellow-toned. I’m happy with the result and overall my hair feels so much better. I think the bleaching dried it out a lot. I also had it cut (split ends, begone!) The underneath will lighten a bit over time, which I’m 100% okay with as I kind of like that naturally-faded look.
The first thing I said when I walked into my office today was “I have an announcement: I cooked last night.” I was so proud of the delicious meal I made last night that I just have to share it here. I worked from a recipe I found in Glamour Magazine.
It’s a pesto pasta with cherry tomatoes, broccoli and Parmesan cheese. We added the grilled shrimp.
YUM! You can find the recipe in Glamour’s issue with Kate Winslet on the cover. Personally, I like to get inspired by a recipe but I don’t always follow it perfectly. I add or take away things based on my preferences—but recipes are nice because they give you an idea of what foods complement each other and how to prepare everything (which can be a foreign concept to newbies like me.)
Hope everyone has a lovely night!
xoxo,
Veronika.

You look great Veronika, I love the little pop of turquoise in your shirt 🙂 That pasta looks yummm, I'd like to give it a try! I hardly ever completely follow a recipe either, especially in baking as most recipes call for 10 cups (overreacting I know but usually it's a lot!) of sugar! O.o

I absolutely love the hair color. Looks natural and beautiful!

That pasta looks so yummy! Did the recipe use spaghetti? I think I found it in my Glamour but yours looks lots better and I'm thinking it's the noodle switcheroo.

Love that outfit! The time change has really thrown me off too. I get up at 5:45 and it is so dark out!
Kinsey Michaels says

i'm a terrible, terrible cook, but mainly due to lack of trial and error.

The other day someone told me: I use navy as much as I use black. It inspired me to buy another navy skirt, which I'm wearing today. That's a long time to wait considering I bought it Saturday morning.
Norma says

is there anyway you can make your pics a bit bigger? some of the detail gets missed i think.
