Worthy reads roundup – Vegan Jap Chae recipe, DIY Jewelry board, and Prabal Gurung for J. Crew

May 29, 2011

Hope you had a great week lovelies!

Here is what happened at Chic ‘n Cheap Living this week:
– Photo Love – Act your age but also remain young
– Cate Parr winner and a vegan jap chae recipe (it’s delicious!)
– High Street Highlight – J. Crew and a perfect silk shirt!
– LOTC: Prabal Gurung for J. Crew – Seriously fierce and sleek style
DIY Heart tea tags are fun and easy!

Here are a few worthy reads from blogger buddies and beyond:
– I’ve been fascinated and impressed by the evolution of the Olsen twins and their style.  Did you know that it partially resulted from them NOT wanting to get their picture taken?

Diana posted about making homemade vanilla extract – why didn’t I think of this before?

Anna posted this DIY jewelry board that was created with burlap and knobs on pinterest (I’m cncliving on Pinterest)

– The familiar US Food pyramid for dietary guidelines will be replaced by a food plate this week to make it easier for consumers to understand what they should be eating (yes ma’am I eat lots of vegetables!)

little luxury list

    P.S. Congrats on the Lanvin purchase! Which ones did you get? Paris sales usuallly begin end of June and mid January. I’m hoping to go next month, fingers crossed.

    I love that jewelry board! I’m always trying to come up with better ways to organize my jewelry, but it always just comes down to having far too much of it!

    I was sitting by the pool today catching up on WSJ articles and saw the info on the Food Pyramid. Great news for sure. And I did not see that post by Diana-so cute.
