Sesame Cranberry/ Honey Sunflower/ Chocolate Coconut

I try to pack protein into my lunch while I work at my desk, but it often feels like an uphill battle. Im allergic to most protein bars (don't be fooled by the images above, my boyfriend called dibs on the peanut butter!) and protein powder has to be just right to be tasteless.  Ive been trying different nut butters as a substitution and was delighted to be introduced to the Portland based brand, Wild Friends. 

Im a little partial to my "hometown" but Portland has a notoriously great health food selection. These little squirrel adorned jars (so cute!!) are:

-Organic
-Available in fun flavors, I mean chocolate coconut? sold!
- Available in to-go squeeze packets
-Fairly Inexpensive (nut butter can get costly fast!)
-Non GMO
-Kosher
- Peanut Free/Safe, which makes me a happy camper.
-Dairy Free
-Palm Oil Free. Which is increasingly important, palm oil can harm orangutan populations and rainforests! 

And besides all those good things, its overall delicious! I've been adding it on carrots, in smoothies, on toast, and in baked goods. I tried the honey sunflower seed butter in banana bread recipe last week and that was by far my greatest kitchen brainchild. So yum!

I used this recipe and added a half cup of nut butter into the batter.

How do you weave protein into your day?

Similar: Felt Hat/ Striped Tee/ Sweater (I have this one and like it better than the original!)/ Nail Color/ Exact Sunglasses/ Necklace (c/o)

Ive talked about this on the blog before, but 6pm is my all time favorite place to find deals on designer goods. I was browsing the Lilly Pulitzer new arrivals yesterday and while I (always) love everything, I sorta feel like the price point is right on the edge of too high for what you get. Just me? 

Anyways 6pm is not only my favorite for discounted Lilly, but a ton of other brands including: 


Very awesome and very guilt free! Have you ever scored a great item from 6pm?

Baublebar is one of my favorite places to pick up adorable jewelry that wont break the bank. When I hear the news that they were having a 30% off everything I quickly browsed the items that I have been eyeing (and sat at my desk mourning for the items that I payed full price for, am I right?). Here are my favorites. Obviously in a dream world I would add all of these to my cart, but eventually I will have to narrow down this list, hehe. 

Lashed Out Collection (Pictured Above)/ My all time favorite Baublebar buy! I have the ear jackets, the ring, and the bracelet and they make for great basic pieces with a quirky funky twist. 

Talula/Tropez Tassel Collection/ New arrivals and oh so gorgeous! I also think that the blue/green color combo will transition well into the fall season!

Antigua Tassel Bib/ Funky, colorful, and the perfect addition to any tropical outfit!

Acrylic Block Monogram Necklace/ I have the two letter in tortoiseshell and the quality is supreme for the price point. I know this is coming from me (a self proclaimed monogram addict) but is there anything a monogram necklace doesn't go with? The answer is no, they are great all around in the accessory realm. 

Acid Tassel Drops/ Super cute but move fast because these beauties sell out at lightning speed!

Capri Amulet/ Not something that I would typically pick out for myself but I love the whimsical colors and shapes, would look absolutely stunning with anything white! There is also a cape town bracelet builder that allows you to personalize the look of your stack for a discounted price. 

Marble Plane Ring/ Also a little funky and outside my "usual" accessory choice, but I am completely drawn to this piece.  

Rainbow Rock Bib/ If you are looking for a really unique piece, this necklace is for you! #AllTheColor

Cape Town Bracelet Set (now in two colors!)/ Also a best seller and its not hard to see why! The bracelet set now comes in two colors, and is a great price for colorful stacking. 

Cigar Band Ring/ Goes with everything, absolutely everything. Careful on the sizing though! These rings fit slim.

Cumulus Tassel Strands/ Gorgeous shades of sea blue and turquoise make this necklace perfect for any "mermaid in training"

Soshanna Amulet/ Im sensing a color theme...hmm. This necklace is a great length and adds a blast of color to any outfit. 

What will you/have you picked up from the Baublebar sale? The code for 30% off your entire purchase is: XMASINJULY

Outfit Details: Polka Dot Equipment Blouse (last seen here, similar here)/ Necklace (c/o)/ Flared Skirt/ Cushion Cut Ring (c/o)/ Ivory Snakeskin Clutch (old, similar here)/ Nail Color

This is what I wore last night to a Reward Style event downtown. Special thanks to you guys for helping me pick it out on Snapchat (@pdxprepster) and Twitter! Picking outfits for events is always so hard for me and frankly I would rather wear my PJs, so I totally appreciate having you guys around "digitally" to bounce ideas off of. Have a great rest of the week!

Also, #Nsale is winding down and selling out so make sure to get everything on your list before its gone! Prices go back up this Monday! Wanna know what I bought this year? Check out this post.
