June Haul (Serendipitous Shopping!) + Pretzel Crusted Chicken
I think shopping is very serendipitous and is all about being in the right place at the right time, whether browsing in stores or online, which, I feel, is the way a lot of things work in life. I love the feeling of stumbling upon must-have pieces when browsing a website or when popping into a store, which is how I've been finding many things lately, since I'm refraining from shopping on purpose. :)
This month's haul attributes mostly to that and here it is:
As you can see, I've bought yet another pair of the Crocs Women's Leigh Wedges and because they are so comfortable. I highly recommend them as a comfortable shoe with a wedge heel. I've found myself running in them before with no problem whatsoever. I'm very happy I found a hat for my upcoming honeymoon when browsing Aldo one day too and the S/M surprisingly fits my small head perfectly. :)
I've been cooking almost everyday now that the wedding is just over a month away. I made this earlier this month and love it because it satisfies my craving for breaded chicken in a healthy and delicious way:
