This may be one of my favorite outfits yet! Pastels are all the rage for spring, and I love mixing pastels colors with white. I bought this sweater on sale recently from Piperlime, and the XS fits perfectly with my petite 5'1'' frame. I really think the different shades of blue add depth to the outfit.

Can you spot the leopard umbrella? Great for the rainy weather and only $7.99 from Marshalls. I couldn't find the exact sweatshirt from Loft online, but you can buy the similar one I listed -- more springy (or go into the actual store for the one I wore.... I saw a few last weekend). I love an all black ensemble with a pop of pattern or color. It may be the New York mind in me.

Recipe: Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

So it's officially Taco Sunday at our home. Particularly, "Barbacoa Sundays". My boyfriend has been obsessed with rehydrating chilis to make sauces, so we just eat this all the time now! I have posted the recipe on multiple occasions, but this time we decided to pickle red onions and radishes for a nice garnish. I'll tell you now, it's amazing. The spiciness of the beefs with the bitterness of the pickled vegetables really provide a great juxtaposition of taste.

Recipe

1 medium red onion, sliced different sizes (mostly thin)
6 radishes, sliced thin
1 cup vinegar
1 cup water
2 tbs salt
2 tbs sugar
5-6 black peppercorns
1 habanero (optional)
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
3 cups of hot water

Mix everything but the onions and radishes in a large mason jar. Put the onions and radishes in a colander and dump the hot water on it. Then put them in the mason jar. Refrigerate over night for best results.
