Crisp Spring Wedding + Baked Samosas

As mentioned before, I love weddings! I just love everything about them - the food (of course I list this first), the happiness, how everyone dresses up - so I'm always excited about attending them. Luckily, I attended one last night and couldn't wait to go. It was a bit tricky deciding what to wear since it is Spring yet it's still quite cold out and it was unfortunately pouring all day and night yesterday so I had to nix my original plan on wearing my CLs. On the plus side, I got to take out my Burberry Billington Peplum Jacket to wear since it wasn't too cold last night and it was raining so hard. I'm also happy I finally got to wear my new ASOS dress that I've been holding on to for a special occasion. :) 

Dress: ASOS(old but similar here and here). Shoes: Enzo Angiolini 'Mistle' Pumps (old).
On another note, I'm very excited to share the below recipe for baked samosas, which I found on Mind Over Munch. Her recipes aren't always hits for me - I've had quite a few I wouldn't make again - but I have to say that all her wonton skin recipes are really delicious and are very low in calories. I love that they're all bite-sized so I can decide to have a few as a snack or a bunch as a meal. I've recently been on a crazy wonton skin recipe-making binge with her recipes because I've discovered wonton skins mold quite quickly (about a week max). I'm going to start by sharing this particular recipe but will be posting many more soon.


BAKED SAMOSAS
Ingredients:
48 wonton wrappers
8 oz extra lean ground turkey breast
1/4 cup onion
1 cup mixed frozen veggies, cooked
1 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp coriander (ground)
1/4 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp egg white (for “egg wash”)

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook onion and garlic in either oil or a little spray for 1-2 minutes. Add ground turkey breast and all seasonings.
3. Cook, stirring frequently until turkey is browned and cooked thoroughly.
4. Add cooked veggies to mixture and combine well.
5. Place about 1.5 tablespoons of mixture on 1 wonton wrapper.
6. Top with a second wonton wrapper, sealing the edges with a bit of water. Crimp the edges with a fork all the way around.
7. Place on baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed, brushing egg wash on each side.
8. Spray samosas with cooking spray.
9. Bake 8-12 minutes, until browned and crisp.

Hermes Toolbox 20 Review!

Image
A long time ago, I used to covet the Hermes Birkin bag, as I'm sure many have since it's so elusive. Since then, I switched over to pine after the Hermes Kelly bag instead, after I saw it on Wendy Nguyen from Wendy's Lookbook here . She's a fellow petite and it just looked so nice on her! Over time though, and especially after baby A, I see how such a bag is definitely not practical for me and if I were to spend a small fortune on a bag, I'd want one that I would actually use more often. The Kelly has a thin strap and is quite structured, which is what I like about it, but in reality is too classy for my weekends. It wasn't until I went to Athens, posted about here , that I tried on the Hermes Toolbox 20 and fell for it. It was in a beautiful royal blue color but I already have a Celine in that same color (seen here ) but that bright color and how it hung on me were the reasons I really liked it so much. I realized I wouldn't love the bag in a beige or deep

Canada Goose: Fusion Fit Reviews

Image
I'm finally done with exhausting all the options of Canada Goose coats and have to say that the Fusion Fit is definitely made to perfectly fit petites. Out of the three that I tried on, the Rossclair , Shelburne , and Trillium , they all have the perfect sleeve length but the hoods are all still too big in proportion and cover my whole face when worn. The Canada Goose Rossclair Parka Fusion Fit definitely fits much better than the normal Rossclair as shown here . I still like this Military Green color the best along with Black and like these large buttons better than the small loop ones on the Kensington but still prefer the ease of snap buttons to these. Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit in XXS Graphite The Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit is the only one of the three that does not have an adjustable bungee cord at the inner waist so the shape of this one is much more boxy. The sleeves of this one are also a bit longer than the others, though still much be

March Haul + Target Dresses

Target has so many pretty dresses, which are perfect for the Spring weather we have now. It seems winter is finally over and pleasant weather is here. :) Left to right:  Sleeveless Scoop Neck Dress with Eyelet Trim ,  Strappy Side Button Top Midi Dress ,  Striped Strappy Side Button Top Midi Dress Left to right:  Striped Strappy High Neck Dress ,  Floral Print Off The Shoulder Dress ,  Sleeveless V-Neck Handkerchief Midi Dress ,  Floral Print Scoop Neck Strappy Button Front Tiered Midi Dress Out of all the ones I bought, I only decided to keep one but they were all really cute - I wish I had more space in my closet! The material of the two striped one and the black one are definitely wrinkle-prone as you can see in the photos but I liked the neutral stripes enough to keep it.
