love marion cotillard as both an actress + a style icon. her simple navy dress with the design detail in the back paired with the natural pumps = flawlessness.

simply put, i love indian food. the flavors, the sauces, the spices.. i need my fix quite often. and if you’re like me not wishing to eat out just because a hankering for dal curry strikes, just whip this one up. i cheated and used the jarred sauce this time. don’t feel bad about not making it from scratch, life’s too short for that. oh, and if you’re a fan of mango lassis, i have a version for that as well.

ingredients:
• 1/2 sweet onion chopped, finely diced
• 2 or 3 garlic cloves, chopped, finely minced
• 1 Tablespoon or so, coconut oil {vegetable oil works too}
• one 15-ounce jar of tikka masala sauce
• cooked chicken, cubed into bite-sized pieces
• flat-leaf parsley
• basmati rice, cooked
• garlic naan {oven baked flat bread}
• salt and cracked pepper

to do:
add some oil to a hot pan. sweat the onions and garlic until translucent. be sure to season with salt and pepper. add the cooked chicken and masala sauce, simmer until hot, cooked through and until the flavors have melded. bake the naan by following the instructions on the package. spoon the chicken and sauce mixture over hot basmati rice and alongside the freshly baked naan. garnish with flat-leaf parsley and serve immediately. you can also enjoy this dish as even more delicious leftovers. enjoy!

i used to have a pink conair hair crimper back in the day. and benders! they were light pink + light blue.. xx

irving penn is one of my favorite photographers, i think it’s safe to say that his work plays as a major source of inspiration for my own study of photography. i appreciate his raw style which i would describe as simple and blatant, and i especially love his photos of food, bugs and all.
