Time To Toast

 I truly love a good canapé! Great things surround delicious food and wine. Not only is this very elegant appetizer so easy and fast it's also ecstatically pleasing. Because let's face it, as the hostess you want to be chatting and hanging out too, not slaving away in the kitchen. This is from one of my many cookbooks named "Fun and Festive". Well I'll say.

Spanish Ham and Cheese Toasts

6oz package of goat cheese

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp paprika

24 toasted French bread slices

1/2 cup fresh parsley

8 slices prosciutto or Serrano ham

First put the goat cheese in a small bowl, add cumin and paprika, stir until blended and cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Then all you do is spread the mixture on the bread sprinkle with parsley and top with ham.

It's fast, easy, and chic. Also don't forget to fill that wine basically to the brim like I did! Haha!

Have a wonderful Wednesday! Cheers!

Very Fast Tuesday Tips

Good Morning Beauties!

Since no one really likes Tuesdays anyways I thought I would start yours with five very fast styling tips to put in your back pocket for when you need them.

1. When you don't know what shoe works, nude will.

2. Never worry about the size on the tag. Who cares? All designers cut differently and you are beautiful. If it fits, buy it.

3. Wear one "trend" at a time.

4. Own a fantastic and comfortable pair of flats and make sure they are versatile.

5. Outfit meltdown? Rock all black, it's slimming and everyone looks good in it.  

I'll tell you right now when I feel like nothing works and everything is awful I immediately reach for black, pearls, and a red lip. This combo literally solves all my problems. Or at least makes the dragons easier to slay.

Enjoy your day!

Martini Time

Honestly how is it already Friday??? It would be true to say that this week has been a complete catch up week. Between shoots, work, and closet construction talk (construction starts next week, eeeek!) it's been nonstop! So I'm going to take a second and use this Martini Moment to talk about the things I'm totally loving this week. First is Harim Pants! Gah! These fab gold ones are so amazing and I've had them for a bit and finally whipped them out to head to a shoot. Call it my Fall sneak peek, but get yourself a pair like now. These beauties are from Zara. 

Now let's talk jewelry. First, this Kendra Scott necklace is everything! I love the pearl color it goes with everything and I love the legnth. Next this Simbi bracelet  is also a fab white color that goes well with a stacked look or alone and a lot of the proceeds go to giving water and jobs to Haiti. 

And also...

Happy National Lipstick Day!
