HI-Kicks


I've been trying to nail down our outfits for our upcoming family holiday photo session with the amazing Tiffany from Adeline & Grace and as we all know I'm a visual person, aka mood board guru, so I've been working on our virtual little family powerpoint slide for weeks now. I couldn't, however, find any shoes thus far for Elliot that matched his outfit that I was in love with.

Cue the hi-tops. They're everywhere people! Hi-tops are the new cool shoe for all boys big and small. I found these on Zara's website and they're absolutely adorable. They're not the cheapest shoes around, but seem to be made well to outlast my ruffians feet.

So Elliot now owns 2 pair.

 
 
Cute!, No? We think they're adorbs!

Stitch Fix


Have you heard of Stitch Fix yet? I hadn't either until a blogger I follow (JenLovesKev) wrote about it recently.
 
Stitch Fix
 
Stitch Fix is the first fashion retailer to blend expert styling, proprietary technology and unique product to deliver a shopping experience that is truly personalized for you. Follow me?
 
You simply fill out the Stitch Fix Style Profile on their website and their personal stylists will handpick a selection of five clothing items and accessories unique to your taste, budget and lifestyle. You can buy what you like and return the rest! You can opt to have a delivery every 2-3 weeks, once a month, every other month.
 
There's a $20 stylist fee for each shipment, but it is applied to your purchase if you keep at least 1 item.
 
So, although I LOVE to shop, I decided to give Stitch Fix a try. They are an SF company and I love to support local businesses.

Here's one of my favorite Stitch Fix looks I've found online so far.

 
 
I receive my first shipment next week on October 8 and am so excited to see what they pick out for me so stay tuned!

Homemade Tzatziki


One of my new favorite dips to make is tzatziki. I love it because you can put your own little spin on it and it's just so delicious by itself, with kabob or served as a dip.
 
 
For the tzatziki
1 English cucumber diced into tiny cubes
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tub (17.6 oz.) of Fage Greek yogurt
1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 package/bundle of dill finely chopped or fresh mint
Directions
Cut up the cucumber into tiny cubes, the smaller the better. Add them to the bowl along with the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt and finely chopped dill or mint. Mix and put in the fridge until ready to use.
 
It's extremely easy to make, holds up well in the fridge for days and is a win-win in my book!
