Can a SALAD be Fashionable?

That is the question.  Trends make the world go round, and why can't that apply to salads.  Whether simple yet sophisticated, or spicy and vibrant, salads have become yet another thing to dress up in our lives.  Dress it how you want it, dress it how you feel, dress how you want to feel...if salads are a part of your lives, then salads ARE fashionable.  What's the latest salad craze...I would say something along the lines of dark green leafy vegetables paired with nuts and fruits like walnuts and grapes or pecans and mangoes.    A nice vinagrette holding it all together.  And let us not forget, the perfect accessories, some feta cheese and avocado right on top.  What makes YOUR salad fashionable?

Hierarchy of Jeans


Recently I purchased 2 new pairs of jeans.  It is funny because you always have your going out pairs and your day time pairs.  I could never wear my daytime jeans to go out, but I COULD wear my going out pair in the day, depending on how chic I'm feeling that day.  It is crazy how mental the whole thing is; my current 2 daytime pairs of jeans were my go-to nighttime pair just days before I bought my new jeans.  Now I could never wear those jeans at night.  They've been demoted instantaneously.  The truth is, my 2 new pairs are soo much nicer, but does this always happen?  Do the jeans just keep getting better and better?  I could never picture my current nighttime pair turning into daytime jeans, but it almost seems inevitable.  The question ultimately is: are the new jeans really that much nicer or do I just feel that much nicer?  If this nicer and nicer trend keeps up, I can't even begin to imagine what daytime jeans I'll be sporting in a few years.
