If ever you have seen me, you know I wear my fair share of black, white, and grey - especially in the winter. I was getting down on myself for not mixing it up and incorporating color until I saw the new arrivals from Moschino Cheap & Chic on Net-A-Porter this morning. Love when my lack of color is vindicated!

Veg Head
What a fun weekend! A couple of things aligned this weekend that got me to thinking about trying out a vegetarian lifestyle - maybe if it is only during the week and indulging on the weekends.
One, my good friend was in town and she has been vegetarian for over a year. Talking about all of the satisfying and yummy dishes she makes I found that I really don't eat that much meat on a regular basis and would be able to enjoy just as flavorful things without the added meat.
Two, we walked around Eastern Market and I am always inspired to eat more wholly when I am walking the rows of locally grown produce. It looks so fresh and doesn't have all of the "markings" and wear and tear that fruits and vegetables in the grocery store seem to have.
Third, all around I think it would help me to focus on what you eat. Not a diet, but to be more conscious effort to feed yourself whole foods (no preservatives/processed things)
Of course there are concerns - I am the first one to admit that a cheeseburger and fries are undeniable and that this would require a lot of extra time and planning on my part. I don't ever think I would be satisfied to just sit down to a dinner of cold raw vegetables.
Going to do some research and see where it takes me. Some recommendations:

| The Kind Diet This is Vegan - which I will never do, but good recipes/ideas nonetheless |
 |
| The Modern Vegetarian |
Also, Martha Stewart Living and Real Simple magazines offer up a surprisingly large amount of vegetarian recipes.

Music Must: Mumford & Sons
I am loving the first album from Mumford & Sons. Friends have been raving about them for the past few months and they are gaining momentum with sold out shows across the country - which means get the album now!
Favorite track: "Little Lion Man"

Of course she made Vogue's Best Dressed List this week. How could you not with this cozy/chic look?

LM&O Fall Outing
I cannot say enough how nice it is to be apart of a company such as LM&O. Everyday I get to try new things and experience all of the facets of the Ad biz.....and I'm not just sucking up (since i have recently learned of some colleague readership)
We had the perfect day for a company outing to LaGrange Vineyards in Haymarket VA. A complete "feel good" event in a picturesque setting really made me appreciative of my job, this company, and amazing people that I am fortunate enough to work for/with everyday.
Also I was lucky enough to shoot these with the agencies new Cannon G11 Powershot. Love this camera, I want one!
