November Haul + Jack 'n' Jill Burgers

I wouldn't have shopped if it weren't for the $20 credit I have with LOFT, which led me to visit the store and end up buying a few items. I'm actually wearing this LOFT Petite Stained Glass Lace Cami in my previous post. The only other items I purchased last month was a pair of Nike Air Huarache Run Ultra Se' Sneakers, which look great and are super comfortable but I have to say that I tried on the new Adidas Ultraboost Uncaged Sneakers  and they are even more comfortable! I've been eyeing this pair in grey but they unfortunately don't make them in size 5. :(


The only thing I tried on in store was this sweater dress, which I really liked (disregard my skinny jeans underneath and this was when I was still blonde last month).

Here's a recipe for really delicious burgers you can make any time without a grill - they're A's favorite!

JACK 'N' JILL BURGERS

Ingredients:
1 medium onion
1/2 cup finely crushed seasoned salad croutons
1/4 cup dill pickle relish
2 tablespoons ketchup
1-1/2 lbs ground beef
6 slices Monterey Jack cheese
6 hamburger buns
6 lettuce leaves
6 slices tomato

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients.
2. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
3. Shape into 6 1/2" thick patties and place on an ungrased broiler pan.
4. Broil 4" from heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
5. Top each with a cheese slice and broil 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
6. Serve on buns with lettuce and tomato slices.

Serves: 6.

I don't plate very well but this really was very delicious and super flavorful!

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.
