Street Style: Tulle for Day
When I see a something on the street at least three times, my antenna goes up. I was only able to capture a pic of these two women on the street but I did see another woman wearing a tulle skirt with sneakers and another one wearing a tulle skirt with socks and loafers. It’s not a new “trend,”-Carrie Bradshaw was doing it in the late nineties but I still find it notable and fun.

Turn Key
For me, the hardware buckle called a turn key or flip key, is recognizable as a signature of the Coach brand. My first exposure to it was in the 1970’s when I was introduced to the Coach handbag. Hermès and Givenchy do their version of it as do many other designers this season.

The Perfect Boot
A taller ankle boot in black, with a chunky heel is a chameleon in your wardrobe. Pair them with short frilly dresses or denim shorts in warmer months for an edgy look or wear them with slouchy trousers and an oversized jacket when it’s chilly. Don’t worry about matching the black color with whatever else you have on; it can work as a statement of its own.

*Grammar nerds come for me. I have 3 sons. Each of whom have a girlfriend (well, one has a fiancé.) So I want to impart that one of the women made cookies and another made pasta- did I punctuate correctly?

High Maintenance
I am obsessed with white shoes this spring. I tried on a gorgeous Mary Jane pair from Aeyde (see photo below.) Within one minute of fastening them on my feet, I noticed I had scuffed the supple white leather. Thank goodness the scuff was quickly buffed out, but it got me thinking about high maintenance clothing and accessories. The patina of wear on white leather shoes is to be expected, patent leather doesn’t have this problem. High end shoe cream and light touch with a magic eraser helps. I am usually up for the care my clothing and accessories require- but I think those white shoes may be too high maintenance even for me.

1 28oz can of chickpeas rinsed and drained
1 red onion rough chop
1/2 cup of parsley, rough chop
5 cloves of garlic minced or pressed.
1 ½ teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
½ teaspoon of cumin
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup chickpea flour
Avocado oil
Preheat the oven to 250°.
Spread out chickpeas on aluminum foil or parchment lined baking sheet. Place in the oven to dry out canned chickpeas while you are preparing other ingredients.
Place onion,parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, red pepper flakes in a food processor, add chickpeas. Pulse gently until chickpeas are in small but still recognizable pieces. Do not over pulse mixture.
Move mixture to a large bowl. Add chickpea flour (any flour will do if you don’t have chickpea-it’s just to help bind.)
Make the mixture into balls. Lightly fry in avocado oil and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
Prior to serving, preheat oven to 350° and bake until fully heated through about 15-20 minutes.
Serve in a pita or a bowl with tahini sauce, mediterranean salad, pickled onion or pickled turnips.
