One of my *all time* favorite brands!
Deal of the Day is their Satin Locking Clutch in Pewter/Beige
Orig. $178 SALE $89.90
I actually own this exact purse in black leather and it's my favorite handbag!
It's dressy, chic, and holds the necessities when you go out at night - phone, camera, lipgloss, credit cards.
The *best* part about the purse though is its super unique locking mechanism... the 'petal'-like BCBG symbol on the front rotates 45 degrees to 'unlock' the purse.
I originally saw this design over a year ago at a BCBG Outlet store and the purse was still well over $150 and I swore to wait for a sale! Just a few months ago I was able to pick up the black leather & gold version of the bag and use it all the time.

BCBG as a brand is known for their chic designs and their timeless quality.
Rue La La also has some cute BCBG Dresses that would transition well from Summer to Fall. I wear a lot of their dresses to work and get tons of complements!
In fact, I'm wearing a BCBG Dress to work today:
Shoes: a Look for Less. Resemble these
BCBG heels but I wanted them in a
black color with a
wedge, so I flipped when I found these shoes
here.

Lunch today was a *win*. Leftovers from last night... which means my dinner last night turned out well!
I took my second attempt at Quinoa last night. I used my handy dandy rice cooker pot and combined 1 cup dried quinoa with 1 cup dry brown rice and the appropriate amount of water according to each bag. I then added 1/2 a cube of Vegetable Chicken Broth for flavoring, some minced garlic, and pepper. On the top steaming tray I added sliced mushrooms, chopped onions and chopped bell peppers to the rim. Then clicked the 'Brown Rice' cook button and went out for a bike ride with the BF. I love when dinner cooks itself :)
Finished Product:
Yummy!!!!!!!
I ended up adding some salt because I was in one of those moods but it was really delicious. With my Quinoa I enjoyed a sliced red bell pepper which I love to eat raw as a snack, and since I've been starving all day after our hour long bike ride last night + my one extra mile that I ran (I wanted to go the extra mile lol!) I also have enjoyed an 80 calorie Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Granola Thin.
It's like a cookie - only it offers nutritional value haha.
The #1 Ingredient is Whole Grain Rolled Oats. (Sure the next one is sugar, but you knew that when you saw the words 'dark chocolate' on the outside of the box!)

Question of the Day:
What is the dress code at your job? What do you wear to work?
I work at a pretty relaxed, corporate engineering office. Some people wear polos and jeans but I'm not really a big fan of jeans unless it's cold outside and they always say "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have" so I try to keep it a bit more professional. Unfortunately things are pretty conservative here so the only time I get to have 'fun' with fashion is on the weekends! What about you?
