Easy Baked Egg Cups for Breakfast

I worked out this morning, and when I got home I was starving. I was about to eat my typical breakfast of instant oatmeal or a soy hot dog (gross sounding, I know, but actually really good!) and coffee but then I decided to try something a little more creative.

I pulled together whatever random ingredients we happened to have, and proceeded to make baked eggs in a little ramekin. I chopped up a tomato and mixed it with spinach and some pesto, cracked the egg on top and shredded a little bit of cheese on top of that.

I added a bit of sea salt to the top, popped it in the oven for 15 minutes, and voila - a super easy, super healthy breakfast:

What do you typically eat for breakfast, if anything? You should try this - you can honestly throw in just about anything.

Charleston & Atlanta

Hello! I am back from the South, and I had the best and busiest time. We went on a horse drawn carriage tour, saw the Angel Oak (a giant 1500 year old tree), visited the Coca Cola museum, saw Margaret Mitchell's house (the author of Gone with the Wind), ate chicken and waffles, went to the beach and visited a plantation.

It was a busy three days! Below are some of the pictures from my trip:

I was really obsessed with the architecture - I took quite literally over 300 pictures of houses

I loved this golf cart with the flags and the puppies. So Americana.

I want one of these amazing beach homes!

we ate boiled peanuts from this stand - the guy selling them has been there for over 20 years!

Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Friday! I'm off to visit a friend in the South for the long weekend- we will be in Atlanta and Charleston, and I can't wait. I've never been to the South (except Florida when I was about 7 years old, and I don't think either of those really count) so I am extremely excited!

What are you guys doing for the weekend? I hope you get in some sun/beach/bbq-ing/family time. I'll be back on Tuesday with pictures from my trip!

SHORE Bar

Last Saturday I checked out SHORE bar, a brand new spot located just a few steps from the beach on a fairly quiet street off of the PCH that is lined with (semi) under the radar but amazing restaurants - Giorgio Baldi, Caffe Delfini & my favorite, the Hungry Cat, to name a few.

SHORE bar is housed in a relatively small space, but the gorgeous inside makes up for it. The bar is decorated in a nautical theme, but done right; some spots in LA can come off a little contrived with their "Hamptons Theme" (I'm talking about you, Colony nightclub). With SHORE bar, the dark wood, nautical stripes, white beams and vinyl seats give the perfect nod to the East Coast, with only a few requisite vintage life preservers thrown in for good measure. A friend of mine from the East Coast said the bar reminded her of her parent's basement, but "in a good way". Good job SHORE Bar.

the outside of the bar is a ship, so you know it's got to be good

If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for a drink or a snack, and I'd do it soon before it gets too crazy busy and popular. Apparently Katy Perry was there the night I was, so I have a feeling that SHORE bar might not remain as low key as it has been so far, though I hope that it does!

Bright Red

I had been looking for a red skirt for a long time (on and off, not obsessively) so when I found this one at H&M, I snapped it up immediately! See how I styled my new favorite skirt for work the other day:

Booties from Asos (I actually read about them on another blog and bought them!), Skirt from H&M, top from Banana Republic found here, Cuff from Bauble Bar - same one but different color here, Chanel bag

What do you  wear to the office (if you work in one)? Mine is pretty casual, so I can get away with wearing this or shorts and a T-shirt which is nice!
