Fast Snaps, Full Looks

Hello dear friends!

I’m so excited to have actually made the time to break down my weekly outfits and share them with you! Fashion is a major part of my life and I do love to break down a look.

I very much dress for me. Also, it doesn’t matter if I leave the house or not, I’m getting dressed. See me going to the mailbox? I’m probably dressed. With this series I’m giving you a full scope top to bottom of what I wear in a week. So, let’s start at the beginning of any outfit…

Skivvies! Gals! We only get one go in this life so wear the lingerie. Wear it for you, wear it for him. Whatever. Wear it. We must start with a good base.

  1. A very errand Monday

    I’ve shared these pants before, but they are arguably my favorite pants. For obvious reasons they go with…a lot. Also, for a day of running errands and ending at a baseball game they are as comfortable as they are loud. The tee is from a Kate Spade (a favorite brand of mine) and Target collab. And again, for obvious reasons I had to purchase it. For the jewels, I kept it simple with my cute snake ring, my other ring with me and MKs birthstones, my kids name bangle, and Gucci watch with I pretty much wear every single day. The shoes. Sometimes you buy something that you just simply like but then it turns into a very important part of your wardrobe. That’s these. I wear them so much more than I thought I ever would. Maybe because I’ve always been a big fan of a pop of color…and green. Duh. This also wins my second favorite look of the week.

2. It’s all about the vibe.

Full transparency. I originally put on a poofy yellow dress, pink belt, and pink heels. This was not the vibe for the day at all. But, at this point I had no time to change. So, I then did school drop off, got home, and immediately made my hair purple. I realized when I woke up, I was “Lilac Hair Emily” also known as Evette (insert laughter). Anyway, that’s why my lingerie doesn’t so much match my outfit like it normally would. Also, these necklaces are my usual stack. I’m sure you’ll see them again. Arm candy included my fancy bird cuff, usual Gucci watch, and a cuff of the kid’s names. Added MK and my birthstone ring, and a Gemini one.

3. I said I’d never wear cargo pants.

Here’s the thing… don’t make declarations like that. Haha. Another day of working and ending it at another baseball game called for an outfit that I would be comfortable in all day long. My green shoes are back because I like the unexpected pop of color that they bring to this outfit. I switched my usual necklace stack up a bit and added a little arm candy too. My rings are for my kids both with their (same) birthstone at the end of the diamond row.

4. What I refer to as comfort.

So, this week was apparently about comfort for me because I had the kind of days where I was on the go all day long. I’m very much a pants kind of girl. I usually will always style an outfit around the pants and that’s what I did here. I love these leopard with a red pop pants because you can pair them with so many different tops and shoes. Kept the jewelry very simple with this fit and just wore my “E” necklace and cute little bee ring.

5. Foxy

I’ve always loved foxes and when I saw this Goorin Bros hat I was sold immediately. I discovered them last summer and kind of haven’t stopped buying their hats. I’m a hat girl after all. MK and I were taking the kids for a lunch pizza date. These red jeans (see? pants.) are a great casual piece to throw on for events such as this. I went with my invisible heel for this look because I couldn’t decide on a shoe. I was recently gifted my “E” and “K” necklaces by my sweet friend and I’m in love with them.

5B. Second Friday Look

Into the nearest telephone booth! My second outfit for the day was due to headed to a graduation. This was most certainly my favorite look of the week due to this fabulous necklace my best friend got me because she really knows my style. Anything leopard and I’m on board. And you’ve probably realized by now I love a pop of color when it comes to a shoe. Jewelry was my two Vahan bracelets and my morganite ring that I bought myself ten years ago to “dull the pain of turning 27”. Hilarious. Also, anyone else have an extra rib? Haha.

Thanks for following along! If I’m feelin’ froggy I’ll do it again this week.

I hope you have the best Monday and strong coffee, and you feel cute.

Fancy Made Easy

Happy Wednesday, All!

I am 1000% obsessed with salmon. I could eat it for every meal. So, I’m always looking for new ways to eat it. By now you probably know how much I love a tart. Another thing that I could eat always. This recipe, that very honestly looks impressive, is so easy to put together.

First, egg wash a thawed pastry puff, poke it, and add everything beagle seasoning to the edges (one of my favorite parts of this dish). Bake on 425 degrees for about 20 minutes but watch it so that it doesn’t get too done.

Next, after it’s done baking, add cream cheese and your salmon. You can use regular salmon like I did or smoked salmon.

Now, add mini cucumbers (I love these in my soul), pickled red onion, a squeeze of lemon and some for garnish, capers, and a sprinkle of dill.

This dish made me so deeply happy, and it was absolutely delicious. It’s perfect for brunch and bubbles. Two of my favorite things!

Have the best day and thank you for stopping by!

A Summer Spritz

Happy Friday Lovelies!

I believe I may have stumbled on my drink of the summer, All. I’m a savory chick so I love a good gin martini. But, this is no ordinary martini. It’s so light and refreshing. Grab a coupe and let’s go…

what you do:

Fill your coupe with ice (I love a huge ice ball myself) and simply throw everything in the glass. Run the lemon peel around the rim, and drop in a few olives. I always use three. An even number is bad luck and…I don’t like even numbers.

The secret to this one is the olive oil. It adds so much richness. Also, when it comes to gin, I used Broker’s. Why? Their marketing won be over because the bottle has a top hat. Who can pass that up? Not this girl.

Also, also, don’t like gin? Use vodka. Easy fix.

So who’s coming for martinis?

Have a wonderful Friday and have some good sips this holiday weekend!
