website.wednesday

Happy Wednesday everyone! If you're anywhere in the Northeast you have either trekked it to work or are enjoying a nice little snow day. I hope it's the latter! For today's "website.wednesday" I thought I would feature a website I was recently introduced to, and also add some more fun tips for today!

Singer22: I was recently told about this website and it's pretty great! It's a clothing website but it basically allows you to search anything you want in any way. If you love a certain celebrity and their style you can find them on this website. Click on the celebrity of your choice, and then you are able to purchase different items that they are wearing or something similar. You can also shop by designer, trend, and category and they offer all sorts of price points. Currently they have lots of great things on sale and I am eyeing this one item - a cute, bright blue romper. Although a romper might not seem like a smart buy right now I think that it is actually quite versatile. You can wear it now with tights and a great cozy boyfriend sweater, and then carry this item into your Spring/Summer wardrobe by not wearing any tights with it and trading in the sweater for a lightweight blazer -

Now for some food & wine tips!

Since we've had so much snow recently, there is more time indoors, which definitely makes me want to curl up on the couch with yummy food and a glass of red wine. One of my favorite things to do for dinner sometime, or even for a snack, is to make a nice cheese & meat plate for everyone to share. You can make a small plate for just two or three of you, or obviously you can make a plate as a big as you want! I say the more cheese the better, but that's just me :) Here are some of my go to cheeses & meats:

1: Sharp Gouda
2: Sharp Cheddar (there's a theme here haha)
3: Gorgonzola
4: Brie/Camembert
5: Soppressata
6: Proscuitto (sorry Mom haha)
7: Bresaola

Then I usually like to buy a nice baguette and slice up the bread. If you want to get really creative you can slice up some apple, put the apple slice on top of the sliced baguette, layer a slice of cheese on top, and then warm it up/toast it for a few minutes. The cheese gets nice and melted, and the bread has a nice little crunch to it. My friend Meghan did this one time when she was visiting and I still love it (thanks Meg)! Below is an image of food I did for a party we had recently - take a look!


Now for wine my go to is almost always Red - most people know this about me because about half a glass of wine in my teeth show it (very annoying)! We recently tried a really nice new bottle of wine and I thought I would share it with you:

Tamarack Cellars: We tried this wine at an amazing restaurant in Upstate NY. Tamarack is a winery in Washington State and I think I might have to make a trip there soon! We had the Cabernet Sauvignon and I definitely recommend it.

I hope you enjoyed my tips for the day!

Stay Warm & Happy Styling :)
