Normal People

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Normal People

Normal PeopleThere were so many things I loved about Normal People (Hulu), but one thing that stood out was the beautiful elegance and style Marianne (played by Daisy Edgar-Jones) portrayed throughout the whole series. Marianne’s sophisticated refined wardrobe complimented her beautiful hair and make-up. I’ve selected some similar pieces inspired by her wardrobe below.

  1. Orange Cashmere Cable Sweater Ralph Lauren, $398 or Cotton Cable, $69.99.
  2. Smocked Silk Midi Dress Black & Other Stories, $149 and White Sneakers. Spaghetti strap dress she was wearing while sitting on the steps in Italy.
  3. Tripper Denim Overall Mother, $325. Look for less Levi’s.
  4. The printed sheath she was wearing by the pool was vintage but I found a couple similar ones. Cindy Cotton Poplin Mini Matches, $244, Reformation Max, Reformation Sable, and Reformation Cruise dress.
  5. I loved the eyelet sheath dress she was wearing in Italy. Similar options by Maje, Rebecca Taylor, and Ephemera.
  6. Silk Scalloped Navy Polka Dot Top Zimmermann, $395. Look for less by & Other Stories.
  7. David Yurman Silver Chain Saks, $230 or Silver Box Link Choker Missoma, $97. Can’t forget about Connell’s infamous chainlink necklace that even has it’s own IG account.

Street Smart

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Street Smart

A blue and white stripe shirt never gets old. Especially when Clare Vivier’s muse (and niece) Frannie Gilligan is sporting an oversized drop shoulder version. She’s accessorizing it with a blood orange Emma Bag, shell bracelet  (look for less here), turquoise bracelet, pearl necklace (also like this one), and Sophie Monet wood charm necklace. This look exudes simple classic dressing with a smart use of color. The unofficial start of Summer is approaching you might want to swap out jeans for shorts like this, this, this, this, and this. 

SALE ALERT! Moda just launched their up to 50% off sale. Some things to scope out…Matin Mini dress, Veja’s, Juliet Dunn mini, Alexander Wang jewel toned slingbacks, Carrie Forbes raffia sandals, Aqua Benita dress, and Dodo Bar swimsuit.

This is a really easy recipe that can be served warm or cold. I will be making them tonight with grilled salmon. You can make extra sauce and use it as a marinade for your salmon.

Simple Asian Noodles

To print from e-mail please visit Julesee.com

Ingredients 

  • 2 carrots thinly sliced (see above pic)
  • 1-2 scallions thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • 1 package of noodles *I like using udon noodles but any will work
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas

Sauce 

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar *optional
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste

Directions 

  1. Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, sugar, chili paste in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil with 1 teaspoon of salt in a pot. Add the noodles and cook according to the package directions. About two minutes before the noodles are done add your carrots to the pot. Once the noodles and carrots are done drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. Sauté your ginger and garlic with 2 tablespoons of oil on a medium skillet. When the garlic and ginger are fragrant (about 30 seconds) add your peas and scallions. Continue to sauté for about 3-5 mins mins. 
  4. Place your noodles and carrots in a medium sized bowl. Add your sautéed vegetables, and pour the sauce over the noodles. Toss to coat.
  5. Enjoy!
