Hope everyone enjoys St. Patricks’s Day weekend! My idea of going green will be eating lots of greens & staying on a healthy track this weekend with maybe a few sips of Irish beer, just for traditions’ sake! Have fun everyone & be safe! xo, Jamie

St. Patricks day is this weekend and why not celebrate with putting green food coloring & beer in everything we make?! Here is an easy recipe for beer bread… one of my favorite bread recipes!!
2 1/2 cups self rising flour
12 ounces room temperature beer (the better the beer, the better the bread. I use Harps beer made by Guiness in Dublin)
2 tablespoons sugar
Directions:
1Hand mix all ingredients only until well mixed (do not beat or use a mixer).
2Put mixture into a greased loaf pan.
3Preheat your oven to 375º F degrees.
4Bake for 45 minutes.
Also, do check out my favorite dessert for St Pattys Day, pistachio cake!!

This coat is one of my favorite classics in my closet. I have had it since college and snagged it at H&M. It is my go-to work coat for the winter, which this year seems extra-long! 🙂 I also paired with my Alex & Ani UCONN bracelet and Guesss boyfriend watch and a cute leopard scarf. Count-down until spring has started! Oh, and on my front door you will notice the letters CMB in chalk, which are the initials of the Magi which are inscribed upon the doors with blessed chalk. It is interpreted as the Latin phrase “Christus Mansionem Benedicat” which means “Christ bless this house.”
When I saw this American Rag piece at Macy’s, I had to have it. It was the absolute last one (I found it on black Friday) and I was so lucky that it was on sale and I had a Macy’s coupon so it was definitely a steal. This jacket is one of those pieces that’s so unique and I love that about it. It’s warm, cozy, comfy, and so different than anything I own. Do you own anything tribal that you love?
