charmed & fancied: black and bone

While shopping last week, I came across these two-toned Aldo flats {top middle}.  Then I saw a clutch with the same colors and squealed.  Although I did not end up purchasing anything, the thought of these two beautifully neutral colors together with a bow caused some serious budget discussions in my house....

charming delectables: office snacks

Although I generally do not move much while working {the motion sensor lights often go out}, I still get fairly hungry mid-morning {around 10:30} and in the afternoon {around 4pm}.  I have a drawer in my office dedicated to all things yummy---though my brain requires sustenance....my thighs definitely do not.  So here are two healthy snacking options that are regulars in my drawer of edible goodies.


wasabi peas: super hot, super crunchy, only a handful does the job


granola with flax seed:  super healthy, super sweet, great with a warm drink
{see recipe here}

Love,
Maryam

charmed & fancied: office accessories

We spend so much time at work, so it seems natural to add some cute touches here-and-there without jeopardizing productivity or the dignity of the office.  Here are a few ideas on how to personalize, *glamify* {insert spirit fingers} and sprinkle your office with a little bit of charm.



Love,
