This weekend has sort of flown by, but at the same time, a lot has been accomplished. On Friday night I had dinner with some friends (tacos!) and Saturday was a family day (after sleeping in till 1pm). Sunday I ran errands and made meatballs for dinner and did not touch the laundry I should have done (oops).
1. My first Persian tea
2. A sweet treat
3. Something I'm covetting
4. New lacquered boxes for accessories (from Winners)
5. Sunday breakfast
6. A piece of art I have acquired that was created by my great-grandfather
7. New make-up
8. New shoes (with a much shorter heel than I'm used to)

You know when you're eating something really, really yummy and (as I like to say) you don't want it to be over? That's how I felt while eating this delicious bean salad. A friend sparked the idea, I came up with the recipe.
It's easy. And healthy. And filling. And delicious.
Don't like beans?
You could use quinoa.
Hate tomatoes?
Avocados can be your friend.
Not a fan of feta?
Look, I'm not going to hold your hand.
See what I just did there? I gave you options. And that's what eating is all about.

Black Bean Salad
* 1 can of black beans
* 1/2 onion chopped
* 1/2 pint grape tomatoes
* Crumbled feta (as much as you like)
* Splash of lime juice
* Pepper to taste
New shoes are always fun to receive in the mail! These just came in and I cannot wait to rock 'em. Of course the espadrilles will have to wait till summer (or do they?) but I couldn't pass them up as I knew they'd sell out quick (plus my size, 10, always sells out pretty quick. Update: they only have them in black now).
I'm still debating what I will pair the boots with. To be honest, they are kind of outside of my fashion box but I always try to push myself and expand my limits when it comes to my style. I consulted a friend and she made a couple suggestions (shorts+tights+blazer or coloured skinny jeans+neutral top) but I was looking for a way to dress the boots up, especially for work. She suggested a flowy style dress with sleeves. Perfect! Love that idea (do you have suggestions?) and hopefully I'll be able to show you guys soon.

Old Navy & Forever 21 are killing it with their affordable colour blocking tops out for Spring. I couldn't decide which colour combo I liked best so I bought both (from F21).
Clockwise from top left:
1. Old Navy colour-blocked charmeuse dress
2. Forever 21 colour block woven tank
3. Forever 21 colour block woven tank
4. Old Navy colour-blocked button-tab top
