Sometimes only a simple necklace is needed, I love this necklace from anjolee, which is a fully customizable jewelry website. Each piece is custom made, so you choose the metal, quality, length etc..   some of my other  favorites are the riviera necklace, these diamond tennis bracelets (perfect for arm parties) and the wedding ring sets.

I let this sweater from stylemint sit in a bucket of bleach for a couple of days... I love the way it turned out. (and yes, stylemint isn't just t-shirts! new members can save 20% on their first purchase.. just enter SMNEW20 at checkout!

What I kind of wore to Coachella.

I tagged along with B this past weekend to help him at an event in Palm Springs, the event coincided with Coachella and I couldn't help but have that feeling of so close, yet so far away. I am going on the record by saying that next year I will finally make the plunge and I will be attending.

Spaghetti Squash Casserole

I am the furthest thing from a cook, but this recipe is super easy, so healthy and so tasty.

Here is what you will need:

• one spaghetti squash
• 1/2 an onion (or more if you would like)
  
• two zucchini
• garlic
• olive oil
• one jar of marinara sauce (or if your over ambituous you can make your own)
• mozerella cheese

 

the steps: (follow the pictures)

1. roast the squash in the oven at 350 for about an hour, then using a fork scrape out the insides (it's amazing how easy this part is.)

2. grate the zucchini, cut the onion and along with the garlic and a touch of olive oil heat in a pan

3. add in the spaghetti squash

4. add in the jar of marinara sauce, along with some oregano, basil, salt and pepper.

5. stir

6. with the squash and the zucchini the contents can get a little watery, so place contents in a collander and allow for some excess water to drain

7. place contents of the pan into a baking dish (i'm a huge fan of individual baking dishes) and add some shredded mozerella cheese, bake for about 20 min (with a couple minutes with the broiler on to brown the cheese)

8. serve

9. enjoy

Simple right? I'm sure there are many variations of this recipe out there, and I'm sure that this is a pretty simple version, but trust me it's tasty.
