how cute are these??

($65 at J.Crew)

There are few things better than someone delivering something to you for free. I mean, seriously. Netflix? Prepaid envelopes. Martha Stewart Living? Automatic subscription renewal. Dream!

But fresh fruit and vegetables? This always seemed a little tricky to me. How do you know they are good? Those Peapod boxes always looked a little gummy and gross. I don’t want my broccoli rubbing up against the outside of Wheat Thins box!

Well, now my produce is sticking with my produce thanks to:

You can sign up for deliveries every week or every other week, starting at $27 per box. Each box has a mixture of vegetables and/or fruit. You select how much of each – I chose 2/3 vegetables, but you can do 1/2 and 1/2 or all of one. Then you fill out a list of things you DON’T like and what to replace it with.

Here is what is in this week’s box:

1.5 lbs Bananas
3 Cameo Apples
3 Green Bartlett Pears
3 Valencia Oranges
1 Avocados
1 6oz Bagged Spinach
1 Cucumbers
1 Green Bell Peppers
1 bunch Red Leaf Lettuce
0.5 lbs Snap Peas
1 lbs Zucchini

yum! They will even have you make a copy of your key for them and drop your box off in the foyer of your building.

Gone are the days of pawing through questionable food items in the Shaw’s “produce” section, to wind up at the checkout line with green beans or asparagus (again). Soon I’ll be whipping up batches of Garnet yams and Bartlett pear salads!

Or I’ll have a lot of rotting produce on my hands. One or the other.

Dear Heart Shaped Readers,
Today is a great day! Why? Because it’s Spring Sale day at jcrew.com. Here are my top picks:

I focused on tops, thinking they are so versatile in the summer with just white pants, shorts or jeans:

Joelle blouse: adore alone or under an amazing jacket.

Python-print silk tank: so blousey and cute, but kind of edgy with that snakey pattern. Perfect under a cardigan, or on its own after work.

Travastere paisley boatneck: this is so precious. It looks great with white cafe capris, but also dressed down with jeans.

Any of these shirts would look amazing with a chunky gold bracelet:

Oversize scrolled-link cabochon bracelet

And an ADORE pair of gold flats!

Liv metallic ballet flats: these are the perfect replacement for your horrendous tory burch revas. ADMIT IT, YOU HATE THEM. Well, hobble no more. These are so cute and also comfortable thanks to the butter-soft leather and cute strap. Everyone has them in silver, go for the gold.

Enjoy!

p.s. Here is a late entry just sent into me from Grier – I can’t believe I missed it!:

Striped Katie Sweater Jacket: I wear these sweater jackets to work almost every day. They are so cute and really dress up a pair of dark jeans. Adorable!!

Thanks, Grier!
