It’s definitely an accolade that The Optimist Restaurant was named 2012 Best New Restaurant of the Year by Esquire Magazine, but – to me, at least – it’s even more of a distinction that the restaurant is run by the same camp as JCT Kitchen & Bar. If that group […]
Atlanta weather – like Atlanta in general – just does its own thing. Seventy degrees on Tuesday, thirty on Wednesday? Done. Snow flurries followed by a shorts-and-a-tee day? Done. Melting hot in December, freezing in June? Done. Lately, it’s been rain… like all the time. Loafers would be so great with […]
I’m linking up with Eboni of The Fashionista Next Door for another Style Me Friday, which, by the way, is SO much fun! The concept is also very indicative of the way real women dress every day: We all take inspiration for how to dress and what we want to […]
I picked up these Torie & Howard organic pink grapefruit and tupelo honey hard candies on a whim at Alon’s (also available at Whole Foods): The packaging drew me in, and they’re SO yummy! I admit I screamed a little in delight when I opened the tin and saw that each […]
Gingham + Marbled Wide Stripes Shirt: Crewcuts (similar in lots of colors here and here; I want green!) Sweater and blazer: J Crew Aqua jeans: Zara Gingham + Large-scale Dots (outfit details and more pics here) Gingham + Argyle Sweater: J Crew (styled differently in this post)
This is one of those yummy, quick, easy, last-minute types of side dishes that always seem to come in handy. When I asked hub what he wanted me to make for dinner on his birthday, he thought for 2 seconds, then said, “Chicken phillies!” I added these roasted veggies as […]
Do you have an item of clothing or a pair of shoes that you just wear to pieces? For me, it’s my denim vest and this buffalo check shirt, which I have been absolutely wearing O-U-T lately! It’s definitely going to be one of my One Hundred. Also, y’all know […]
Two cray things are going on here: The wind is blowing like nobody’s business, and I’m wearing hubby’s glasses. His actual prescription OMG-can-he-see-at-all glasses. Backstory: I accidentally left my Ray-Bans in the car and really didn’t feel like walking the 10 steps back to get them. Hub volunteered to grab […]
Salmon, Spinach, and Parmesan Omelette In my book, these two omelettes – each made with 1 egg + 1 egg white – have all the makings of great go-to meals: Yummy – Always #1… no matter how good-for-me something is, it’s hard to actually eat it if it’s not tasty. […]
Remember this owl print sweater + mint shirt combination from the double denim post? To switch it up a bit, I swapped the skinnies for a tweedy pencil skirt. On another, but related, note: I look like one of the “Desperate Housewives” in this picture. Love that tea mug, though; […]
This Greek yogurt from AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery is the truth! It’s definitely not the typical eat-it-only-because-it’s-good-for-me bland yog, and I definitely do NOT just toss it into smoothies. It’s more like a treat and even – dare I say? – a healthy alternative to ooey gooey calorie-laden desserts. Y’all know […]
Image courtesy of Kate Spade Stationery Thank you all so, SO much for spending a part of your day here at Joy and Sunshine! I really appreciate it! Have you been inspired by something you’ve seen on J&S? Did you re-create an outfit or incorporate part of a J&S look […]
