PLAID & LEATHER

PLAID & LEATHER

Two of this season’s hottest trends are plaid and leather. A plaid shirt is a must have this fall, and it can be found pretty much at any store. I got mine at Urban Planet, but you can find a similar one at Garage, Mango, Zara, H&M or Guess. I have a plaid shirt in multiple colors: red, green & blue – I’ll show them to you throughout the posts. Whats really cool about plaid is that it can be dressed up with a leather skirt and heels or dressed down like I did here with grey distressed jeans. I…

Female Fitness Bible

Let’s face it ladies, when it comes to exercise, we tend to classify it as top priority but we tend to treat is as the least important part of our lives. I will admit, I do the same. There are weeks where I am true to my goal of going to the gym 3 times a week, and there are weeks I don’t even get one foot through the door. The reality is that we need to exercise regularly to be healthy, so I started thinking about why my interest in the gym fluctuates so much.

NYKS Bistro Pub

NYKS Bistro Pub

From upscale places to those mysterious holes in the wall, basically if it’s packed with flavor that I want to try. Here is one such place: NYKS Bistro Pub The menu has a wide assortment of options. In terms of pub style, there’s a variety of poutines and burgers, while on the bistro front, there are salads, tartars, mussels and homemade sausages. They also had some attractive specials of the day written on blackboards throughout the restaurant, these included ostrich and bison burgers (we weren’t adventurous enough to try them). Prices were fair with entrées ranging from 5$ to 13$…

Chicken & Broccoli Pasta

Chicken & Broccoli Pasta

Honestly, I’m a true believer that the dirtier the kitchen, the better the meal! Not everyone at home might agree, but that’s my mantra :) I found a simple recipe online on how to prepare chicken broccoli pasta, and the reason for that is that I had chicken, broccoli & pasta in my fridge/cupboard, no joke. The best way to save money and best utilize groceries is to look in the fridge and see what’s in there and then research how you can make a meal out of it. So, I took the recipe and substituted various ingredients with what…

Hi chix! I am really excited to present you with this very first post on the Working Chix website!
