what I'm wednesday

reading the skimm: The Skimm is a daily e-newsletter that consists of concise blurbs to keep you informed of everything you should (but probably don't have time) to know about current events.  Bonus- it's witty and free; possibly two of my favorite words.

loving my new metallic booties (best price here) (almost as good of price and way more sizes here):  So, Piperlime so graciously emailed me the other day (and like 14 times since then...) to let me know that I need metallic booties, or more specifically these beautiful (but $200) metallic booties.  While I had rewards and a coupon code, I still couldn't justify them after reading some not so positive reviews.  Then I found these gorg booties courtesy of the fabulous @jackiegiardina's instagram account. They're just as versatile, super comfy, and excellent quality.  Thank you instagram for fueling my shopping addiction.

eating champagne mangoes: E's been bugging me for like a year to get him his own Sam's Club card because he doesn't want to use one with my face on it, and I finally did.  The first time he went was simply to buy chicken thighs for our dog.  He came home with dog's chicken, 35 bottles of water, 24 bottles of rootbeer, 6lbs of cinnamon toast crunch, a gigantic box of cheez its, frozen chimichangas, and a couple dozen mangoes.  Oh dear.  Don't get me wrong, I like mangoes, but we now have a LOT of mangos.  (don't get me started on the rest of the stuff he came home with....)  So, my project for the week is incorporating mangoes in everything possible... so tonight's dinner plan is coconut-panko-crusted chicken tenders with mango dipping sauce.  Any other mango recipes you recommend?

drinking mango + mint smoothies: First off, how cute is this blog?!  I saw this photo on instagram and had to make these smoothies.  So delicious and refreshing, and how appropriate considering the ridiculous amount of mangos in my kitchen.   

shopping for white skinny jeans: I've ordered and returned multiple pairs and I just can't find a pair I love.  I'm hoping to find a kinda destructed, slouchy skinny, but no luck so far.  I might have to step into a brick and mortar store...

newly obsessed with vitacost.com: My online shopping obsession now extends to food and nutrition products.  This site is insane in the best way possible.  There are mega great deals on coconut oil (which has infinite uses), my favorite protein powder, all kinds of healthy snacks, and even natural beauty products.  Plus free shipping if you spend more than $49, which is basically always.  Win.  My first package should be coming any day now, and I'm so stoked.  If you like those kinds of goodies too, you should check it out.  If you want to get $10 off your first order, you can sign up here for a personal coupon code (I get a kickback too, just to stay transparent).

Hope you're having a great Wednesday!  Happy hump day!

  3. I'm on the hunt for white skinnies too! My old pair doesn't fit well at all, so I'm eyeing a pair at American Eagle that I'm going to go try next week.

    We love mango stir fry! It's one of our favorite recipes that we make whenever there are fresh mangos at the store. Let me know if you want the recipe and I'll send it your way!

  4. I have been a mango eating fiend since Costa Rica. Seriously, it's like I can't get enough! You would think that eating them every day for 3 meals a day would do it, but not so much! Thanks for reminding me that I need to make a Sam's run! I wish I could come home with 6lbs of CTC! Yum!

  5. I'm also looking for white jeans (or white pants...or cream pants/chinos). I had a pair from J.Crew that were sadly too small, so those were returned. And then I tried a pair of toothpick jeans that fit WAY too small and also see-through. Seems like they are way harder to find than they should be!
