Hey, how about we fast forward into 2014?

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that.

I definitely took a sabbatical in various aspects of my life, such as blogging, working out, and eating healthy. I am trying to get back in the routine. I have started back in the other two aspects and today will complete my routine!

Since I last wrote…

I went hiking for the first time and went to the Texas Vs. Tech Thanksgiving game (2nd year in a row, tradition maybe?).

Some not so healthy food I made (if you are currently eating healthy ignore the next few pictures)…

From top to bottom: Red Hot Apple Cider with whip and Caramel drizzle; Hot Chocolate Cupcakes with homemade whip cream topping; Cinnamon Roll Pancake with icing drizzle; Cinnamon and Pumpkin Waffles drizzled with molasses.

I might be a bit biased, but I would say that they were all delicious! I also have other’s opinions, who said the same, so there’s that.

Meanwhile at Altar’d State…

Just a bunch of cute clothes from Altar’d State, no big deal.

Etc. Etc. Etc…

Just my legit boyfriend, my Boho outfit, my sisters outfit that I should she did a great job in piecing together herself, and some Paleo meals: Honey coated chicken sauteed with onions, okra, and green beans; Pumpkin Spice Waffles.

Lastly, I made a tasty Paleo brunch that was so simple and easy to make! If you love to eat healthy, I hope you try this tasty concoction.

Mini Paleo Quiche

• Eggs
• Almond Milk or Coconut Milk
• Seasonings of your choice
• Vegetables of your choice
• Bacon
• Coconut Oil

Beat the eggs, milk, and seasonings. Cut up the vegetables and mix in the egg mixture. Coat muffin pan with coconut oil and line with bacon. Pour in the egg mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350-375, depending on your oven.

Paleo Hot Chocolate

• Almond Milk or Coconut Milk
• Unsweetened Chocolate Powder
• Honey
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg

Heat the milk up in a saucepan, on low heat. Add chocolate depending on strength and taste. Add honey for sweetness. Add Cinnamon and Nutmeg for a spice. Mix well. Remove from stove and pour into mug. Enjoy!

Basically, you are welcome. The Paleo Hot Chocolate is my ALL TIME favorite. It definitely cured my sugar cravings!!! In fact, I am thinking of making a cup right about now.

You are all the best,

Sarah.

A new season: Football

Hello,

College football is back, y’all!!! I love it and I am so happy it is back in my life. Here are some pictures to boost your Longhorn or team spirit, for your favorite team. 

I hope those pictures gave you a little bit more team spirit.

Oh, the white denim. I love Madewell Denim so much! I recently purchased a white pair of denim, a few weeks ago. I am so excited to post about it! I think these are fun a transition from summer to fall. They are light and can be paired with flats or boots and a denim chambray.

Have a blessed weekend,

Sarah

Food Fashions

Well, I have not been diligent in photographing all of my outfits. Rather, I have been taking pictures of some good food.
Food, in fact, can be fashionable. Just think about diets and popular foods. For example the Fro Yo phase has just taken over every shopping center. This week I went to Kerbey Lane twice and it was wonderful; if you did not know, I love Kerbey Lane. Tuesday, I had their enchiladas with chipotle sauce and Vegan queso, which was pretty tasty. definitely a wonderful surprise. On Thursday night I enjoyed some breakfast food. My friend and I split the Vegan cinnamon roll pancakes and french toast. The pancakes were by far the best; I definitely suggest that everyone try a stack.

I LOVE KERBEY LANE!

Friday evening, I went to the Cheesecake Factory, which was wonderful, also. I love good quality food. I ordered the flatbread topped with caramelized pear, pecans, and blue cheese. You may think that it is an interesting combination; I would have to agree. However, that is why I tried it because I love trying new food and experimenting. You must order cheesecake when you go to the Cheesecake Factory, so I did. My sister and I split the mango key lime cheesecake. It was amazing, to say the least. I loved that it was refreshing and the coconut crust was a perfect addition.

Well, enough of all this goodness, I did somewhat snap a few clips of my outfit that I wore to dinner. The evening wasn’t scorching hot, so I wore my Madewell midnight blue skinny ankle denim and my Madewell crop shirt. It has a floral print and is opened in the back. My look was finished with a new pair of Oxford’s I purchases from Altar’d State along with some neon accessories from Madewell, and my Chloe + Isabel gold branch necklace. I kept it fashion forward yet casual.

 

I hope your evening is splendid and the rest of your weekend rocks,

Sarah

Saving in the summer, my life.

Hey there.

Today I was off from work, and can you guess what I did? Well, I went shopping of course, because that is what everyone should do on their day off, kidding. However, I did go to the Round Rock Outlet Mall and shopped at one of my favorite stores, Cotton On. I absolutely love that store not only for the style, but also for the prices. Shopping on a budget, is my favorite and best talent. This afternoon, I found some skirts for $2.00 each, a dress for $5.00, a pen for $1.00, and two notebooks for $2.50 each; that is what I call a successful shopping trip. The skirts I purchased are light weight and perfect to wear in the Texas summer heat. The notebooks have such a fun covers and they will be perfect for taking notes at church.

In another note, dressing in this heat can be a struggle for most; but do not give in to the running shorts and tank look. Today, I wore denim shorts from Cotton On, a lightweight tank from The Gap, a gold watch from Charming Charlie, stackable rings from Madewell, a pair of gold crystal stud earrings from Chloe + Isabel, an Aztec printed belt from Target, and a pair of navy with white dot Keds from Madewell. Styling was so simple, I did a “front tuck” to show off my belt, used a few accessories to play up my casual outfit, and finished it off with a fun comfortable pair of shoes. Summer days are when people choose to be lazy in their styling, but you do not have to succumb to that; I believe that you can be comfortable, and stylish at the same time. All you have to do, is breathe, look at all of your options, and consider a little help from me or anyone with fashion knowledge.

Meanwhile, there was this older fellow who was waiting outside of store. He was very classic in his attire; he had a white button up tucked into a light weight pair of sky blue bell bottoms. My sister snapped this shot, unfortunately, you cannot see his full outfit; but assume he was representing his personal style; I respect it.

I hope you have a lovely evening,
Sarah

P.S.
I totally treated myself to a ChickFilA Milk Shake because our AC was not working; and it was so good! Well actually my sister’s very kind coworker got if for me! So, Keep Calm and Eat ChickFilA.
