Earth Day brings Garden Chic!

Palette 2 Palate is celebrating the outdoors this April in honor of Earth day. Spring is in full bloom and you should be enjoying the outdoors. You can also bring the outdoors indoors, with wonderful fashion pieces that showcase photograhic prints of Southern landscapes and garden designs. Photographer Sara Ball join forces with Anthropologie to bring you a garden chic you can't resist, like this retro-inspired lightweight shirtdress or this very fabulous Kadsu skirt from Anthropoligie.

 You can also wear this precious pink cottage blouse with your favorite bottom to make a fun earthy statement when walking around your favorite outdoor garden.

 Like always "Wear What You Eat", to match your favorite garden chic fashions you should be eating from the garden as well. How about this amazing Tofu Ceviche recipe, which we know Tofu is a very good source of protein, specifically soy protein, as well as numerous other nutrients necessary for good health.This recipe is full of protein "wow" about 30 grams of protein per serving. Your body nerves, tissues, bones all are made up of proteins. So proteins become very necessary for them to grow and repair.

On this special Earth Day post it is important to be thankful that we are able to buy organic fresh foods.

 So, ladies if you’re as thankful as I am please join Organic Authority and celebrate American’s sustainable farmers with a signature online event this Earth Day.

Ladies, how about celebrating earth day with actor Edward Norton and a movie.
