The Sarcastic Blonde

fashion, food, fitness + a dose of sarcastic gossip

Lifestyle, weekend recap

weekend things + monogram monday

January 19, 2015

hope you all had a great weekend!! 


kevin harts SNL episode was one of the best so far this season (so many this season have been so, so bad).  I love me some SNL.

as always, kate mckinnon KILLS IT as beiber. 
  I adore her. 



the skinny taste cookbook has been on heavy rotation for the past week. I’ve never made so many recipes from a cookbook so quickly (probably because Im usually cooking from my BFF Ina’s cookbooks and don’t let myself make recipe after recipe from there or else our waistlines will suffer). 
don’t tell ina I just said that, it is a sin. 

there are so many recipes earmarked that I need to get to!
so far I’ve made two tasty slow cooker meals, and we also made skinny sweet potato fries and cauliflower mashed potatoes with our steaks last night for dinner! 
recipes to come this week or next! 
weekend outfits : 
dinner at one of our favorite casual italian spots, Frasca
  // forever 21 popover top // 
I decided wine will be part of all of my outfit posts since it is the most important 🙂 
this one was Chloe Pinot Grigio in the cutest bottle ever that a friend brought over with dinner this week and I loved it! 

 Frasca is in Lakeview and is one of our absolute favorite places.  We love parking up at the bar, having some drinks and some yummy food.
Kip always gets calamari, but we also tried the Goat Cheese Fonduate and it was incredible.
Their pizzas are always to die for. we had their special for the night, a brussel sprouts pizza with bacon. um. no explanation needed. 


Saturday night we went out for the KU basketball game with friends
wait, wheres my wine?
oh phew here it is. 
I love, love this nordstrom pleione blouse (great price and so comfy!)
it comes in solids and other prints as well, this pink version being my favorite
and it looks great when you get home from the bar and are digging through the pantry for treats with your husband ….. whoops. 
Sunday, I watched Parenthood all day, 
while some soup cooked up in the slow cooker for the week.
don’t worry.  I diversified with an episode of Project Runway All Stars, two trashy magazines, and a couple chapters from Liane Moriarty The Last Anniversary.
oh. and lots and lots of Pinterest. 

Netflix is SO judgey.  ugh,RUDE. know your audience, Netflix! (image via my instagram account) 
 Oh, and I can’t forget to share Sundays (all day long) sexy ensemble.
// RL monogrammed jammies // 
I mean….. my husband is. so. damn. lucky.  

a monogrammed favorite for the week:
my tory burch sandals with initials to personalize them. 
they arrived the day that we left for the caymans, so sadly i want unable to wear them, and since I live in freezing cold chicago, I won’t be wearing them for quite some time. 

how cute is the shoe bag they came with!? I’m like the child that likes the box better than the gift inside of it. 

I have a total white-girl-first-world-problem question, so prepare to laugh your head off.
I keep looking at them thinking “wait, are people going to think my shoes are trying to spell Tory, for Tory Burch, when they see these, or think its my initials”
and then my second thought is “ew… i have really ugly feet so I hope people don’t look at my feet long enough to realize there are even letters on there!”
but then I’m like “WAITTTTT but I WANT them to look long enough to be thinking “oh my gosh so cute she has her initials on her shoes'”
and then the vicious cycle continues.  
when your feeling crazy at some point today, just think about me and feel better about yourself. 



I can’t tell if I want to switch them out for the red color, but that is the beauty of nordstrom – I can wait an eternity and decide when I feel like it. 
{im also in love with these tory burch sandals, and my favorite price point of under $100) 


hopefully most of you are off work today.  I am not…. so have a glass of vino for me.
woof. mondays.

    Not off today either. Grrrr. And honestly I contemplated for a moment on the sandals, if you'd lost the last letter. Sorry 🙂 OH and looking at that goat cheese fonduate, I am now starving, and NOT for the healthy lunch I brought.

    • Taylor says: January 20, 2015 at 3:08 am

      I think you're totally right about the shoes – darn! Luckily I have until June before its warm here to debate with myself 🙂

  2. HMC says: January 19, 2015 at 3:12 pm

    Loving the wine outfit posts…and the Justin Bieber SNL skit killed me. Hilarious.

    We go to Frasca all the time- so good! Also, I kind of thought that the TOR was for Tory when I looked quickly, but I'm assuming most people who will be looking at your feet will know your initials!

    • Taylor says: January 20, 2015 at 3:06 am

      I think you're right 🙂 Im going to change 'em up and maybe just do the TR and leave it at that. If I could eat Frasca every weekend I think we would!

  4. Alexandra Bee Blog says: January 19, 2015 at 9:07 pm

    Haha, love this funny recap of your weekend! As for the sandals, I say go for the red!

  5. Bri's Blog Journal says: January 20, 2015 at 3:31 pm

    Ooh I've got some TB work shoes for the spring on their way to me now. I love the Sandals, I don't know if I could do the personalization. I might get some looks walking around with BJ on sandals. Ha!

  • DIY this high end look for less! I'm sharing the 5 easy steps to disguise your air return cover and all the supplies to complete this project. My favorite part of this easy DIY how-to, is that tou can customize the look with paint color and different metal sheet patterns to match your home decor and aesthetic. I actually used leftover supplies from my DIY built-in shelf and desk in my home office to create this look. It helps elevate the space, adding a touch of elegance and a refined finish without breaking the bank. It was easy and affordable to create this custom look for less. Click to shop the DIY project supplies on Amazon. Note: I used scrap wood I had on hand for the project, but you can also pick up 1x2 wood planks from Amazon or a local hardware or craft store. #ad #Amazon #DIY
