Some people have wondered about the name of my blog. Not about the "magnolia" part, of course, but about the "matcha" part. Matcha is a strong powdered form of green tea which is used at Japanese tea ceremonies. It's supposed to be really healthy for you. Sadly it's really expensive, too, so I use mine sparingly. Yesterday I used a little bit to flavor a batch of waffles, pictured above. No, the color settings on your monitor do not need to be adjusted, those waffles are actually green! K likes his with syrup, like normal waffles, but I prefer my matcha waffles with powdered sugar. Yummy!
I finally mustered up the courage to wear the red tights that I mentioned a few weeks ago! I was going for a modern nautical look here, but I'm afraid it borders on 4th-of-July. I guess that's one of the big risks of red tights. What do you think?
I got a haircut last week, finally! They took off more than I expected, but I still like it. There are lots of layers, and I like how much it's angled around my face.

Actually it makes me think more of Canada Day, probably because I'm Canadian. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI love it though, it's a really cute outfit. I especially like the dress and blazer.
I love your dress! Red tights are really hard to style, I have a pair and don't wear them too often because it struggle with it. Yours look really cute though, I like the new hair do!
ReplyDeleteawww you pull off these tights so well! i can definitely see a little bit of the nautical theme. your new hair cut is lovely by the way, i'm digging the angles (i can't believe i just said digging).
ReplyDeleteoh! and i was wondering why your waffles were green, haha. i stared at them for quite a while in confusion. they sound so tasty though and i love powdered sugar! so much less sticky than syrup :)
Love those tights! I've never styled an all-white outfit with colored tights. I'll have to try that as soon as it warms up a bit here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog earlier.
I love all the pictures of your kittens! My youngest cat is 8, so I haven't had kittens around in a long time. They're so cute!
Cute dress. It looks great with the red accents.
ReplyDeleteYour waffles look tasty. Have you ever tried cake waffles? They're basically cake batter cooked in a waffle iron. They're excellent.
yumm, I'd like to try those, I've tried green pancakes before. I love the dress your wearing with the red tights and I think if you are scared of wearing the red tights it's good that you used them as the feature item and didnt incorporate any other colours. I can go a bit colour crazy sometimes.
ReplyDeleteRed tights YES! I love them with your white shoes. A great look!
ReplyDeletered tights! yay! I can see why you said you needed the courage to wear them, something just screams attention with primary colored tights, even though I love bright reds, yellows, etc in other forms tights are intense alone, but you look great
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress and cute tights!;))
