Worthy reads roundup – Win a Jimmy Choo for H&M bracelet, the journey of a staple food, and shopping with an ASOS discount

April 10, 2011

Hope you had a great week lovelies!


Here is what happened at Chic ‘n Cheap Living this week:
– Photo Love – Express yourself in color!
– Decor thoughts and a few stunning studies
– Chic ‘n Cheap Living Contest: Win a Jimmy Choo for H&M crystal/jeweled bracelet (just like mine!)
– High Street Highlight: Zara three tone stretch sandal – nude, colorblocked, platform love!
ASOS, Kate Spade weekend discounts and pepper crab feasting (yes it was delicious!)
– Links à  la Mode for April 7th

Here are some worthy reads from blogger buddies and beyond:
– Frittatas are among my favorite foods and Closet Cooking posted this recipe for roasted red pepper frittata with sausage and marinara sauce.  I totally want to try this!

Quintessence wrote a piece about Pennoyer Newman – creators of beautiful stone resin planters and plaques.  But I am most excited about this torch bearer’s arm!  How quirky and functional would this be in a garden bearing lights or decorative pieces?

– Rice is such a huge staple in my diet.  This article outlines the evolution of rice from seed to our places (always interesting to know where food comes from!)
Wear sunscreen always (not just if you live in a tropical country like me), especially if you drive a lot!
little luxury list

    i completely agree about the sunscreen – i wear it every day – even though what little sun I get is through the rare breaks in buildings…

    Sunscreen is very important, but we must also remember that vitamin D is also very important for a healthy body and mind. I enjoyed reading and catching up on your weekly fanciable fancies;-)

    Wearing sunscreen is a fashion and health number 1 for me as I burn SO easily. Ps, I am now a dedicated follower of yours on google-I would love to have you follow me as well!

    Eternally yours,

    I am often known as the sunblock queen. I am one of those moms that will come spray you when you least expect it.
