We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

Recipe: Brisket, baby.

Better late than never. Especially in regards to brisket.

School's Out!

Big news, people. First, my apologies for being semi-MIA lately. I've been a bit preoccupied with finals, as I'm sure I've mentioned before. But guess what! I finished my last final! Which means I'm done with school, FOREVER. My last final EVER. I can't express how good this feels. Law school was just...not fun.

Recipe: Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwich

I'm not the biggest fan of mayonnaise. But for some reason, I really like Waldorf chicken salad. I just love the mix of flavors and textures: a little sweetness from the grapes, saltiness from the chicken, crunchiness from the almonds, slight bitterness from the celery... it's got everything! But the calorie count in all that mayonnaise is just too much for everyday. So, I made a small adjustment and the outcome was just as delicious.

Matchup Monday: Rebecca v. Proenza

I know, I know. You all are probably thinking, "Christine, how you gonna try and compare anything to Proenza Schouler?!" I feel you, I really do. But my shallow pockets don't wanna hear it. And although these may not be carbon copies, they're both pretty darn beautiful.

I don't know about you guys, but all this studying and work on my computer has left my shoulders and back feeling like CUH-RAP. These stretches, however, have really helped me out. 

The Secret's Out

Leather jacket: Joie | tee: H&M | denim: Old Navy | shoes: Loeffler Randall | watch: Kate Spade | necklace: Gorjana | sunglasses: Karen Walker | bag: Reed Krakoff

How cute are these flats? My feet feel so fancy in their peter pan collars. They were always so jealous of my adorned neck, so I figured I'd do them a solid and throw them a bone. My intentions may have been selfish, but they'll never know.

Also, guess what!

Is it summer yet?

I apologize to those of you who don't like the look of whole fish, but I think they're glorious. Meals like this make me yearn for summer even more.
