Patio Perfection

A very happy July to you!

July is an amazing month, fireworks, parties, sunshine, and not to mention the month I met my Husband (I can't even believe this month marks nine years together, geesh!). So for today's Martini Moment lets talk patio.

We are gearing up for our annual 4th party and normally we are ready to go but, with a new house and new patio things are a tad different this year. Due to the locust infestation it would be an understatement to say I haven't really been outside since they appeared and because of that, we are a little late in getting our patio up and running.

Here is a speedy way to clean your patio cushions:

  • Remove cushions
  • Scrub with 1 qt water and a dash of Dawn
  • Rinse with hose
  • Let dry in sun (while you do other things that need tended to)
  • Spray with Scotch guard

A clean patio is a happy one. I know, I know, cleaning is no fun. But you know what helps? A delicious martini, of course!

Happy Friday, happy long weekend! Have a fabulous 4th!

Small and Chic

Today's post is a super fast DIY planting project. Even if you have very limited time, much like myself this week, it's easy. Anything that is fast and chic I'm absolutely going to share with you guys. When I saw these tiny magnetic pots I was in love! I mean how cute are they?! Then I just found equally adorable plants to put in them. There you have it. Adding some chicness to the side of any fridge! Don't think I'm stopping here. By the end of the summer you probably won't be able to see any fridge! Haha! 

See below for ultimate cuteness!

Annnnnd I'm off to party plan!

Have a chic day!

Mix It Up

Summer is such a fabulous more carefree time of year and I feel like often times the clothing reflects that. I recently had a conversation with a lovely lady about mixing prints which inspired me to write this post. Some find it intimidating but, I think once you get the hang of it then it's nothing but fun and that is what it should be! Also don't be afraid to try different combos!

I wanted to share a fast and chic look that you can always have at the ready. Stripes and a floral print are my absolute favorite pattern combination! Plus my staple leopard shoes kick this look up a notch.

I hope you all have a fabulous Monday with lots of strong coffee!
