Uchi for the Foodie

Someone surprised me last night with gifts from my FAVORITE sushi spot, Uchi.
I can't wait to use my cookbook. If I told you how much is on the gift card, you'd hate me!
FashionCrazedFoodie Fact: After seeing Uchi (Austin) on Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, I literally counted the days until the Houston location opened. I was actually privileged enough to be amongst the first to go for a private tasting, and I've been hooked ever since!

Update






Foodies and Friends, 

I owed myself a brief blogger hiatus, but I'm back to blogging regularly this week. 

Over the course of a month, I've received some AMAZING offers-from a personal invitation to cover Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Feb, to a City Correspondent Position, magazine contributions, and other great things that I won't speak on just yet. I can't do it all, but I'm excited about what's to come. 

As I sort through it all, (I'll do my best to focus), and I'll be adding some new features to the blog, and making a few other changes. In the meantime, continue reading FashionCrazedFoodie.com, and if you'd like to submit a guest blogger piece, please let me know! SyrttGreen@gmail.com.

Love,
Syretta

Winter {White} Wonderland: How to Best Wear Winter Whites

Feeling like wearing white after Labor Day will label you a fashion pariah?  Well then try on a shade of oyster, parchment, or sugar cube, and let your freak flag fly!  In years of recent Winter Whites have made a wave on the runways and it seems that they are here to stay.

From trench coats to skinny denim, winter whites can add an air of confidence and sophistication to an ensemble.   Not sure if this fairly new take on fashion is for you? No problem. Try pairing a primary color cashmere sweater with a crisp white trouser and the perfect pair of stilettos, and you’ll be 9 to 5 equipped.  However be forewarned a white bottom will add the illusion of volume to your hips, thighs, and buttocks, something to take into consideration if you are a pear shaped (i.e. bottom heavy), so a cropped top or a tunic may be the way to go.

Now, for those who aren’t faint at heart a monochromatic look is the way to go.  However to make this look effortless be sure to pair different shades of white.  An oatmeal top with a white bottom and a nude, bone, or grey shoe should do the trick.

Whether you play it safe or leap in head first, however you decide to sport this look, remember to have fun and be true to you.
