Hello, May!

I've always been one to celebrate my Birth Month pretty hard. And since it's the 31st I get allll month. It's a big birthday so I'm really ready to party. Haha! But I thought this would be the perfect time to roll out my ever so slightly newer blog concept. 

My Main Three

As people we are constantly evolving. It would be bad if we didn't right? I feel like blogging over the years has been so fun for me because it's my own little tiny corner to use as my creative outlet and even though there are many (many many many) blogs out there I have always stayed true to myself and what inspires me.   

I've decided to break my blog down into three sections.

Fast Fashion

I love being able to talk about fashion as it is something that I am deeply passionate about. So I'll continue to bring you the quick fashion tips, favorite trends, and such.

Perfectly Plated

This will be all about the kitchen (and then some). I've always posted recipes here but I've gotten more and more into cooking, baking, and hosting over the years. I'm going to focus on a few different things here. Uncomplicating recipes that seem too scary to make, fast healthy dishes, delicious not so healthy recipes, and whatever inspires me along the way. Get ready for tons of brunch things, stack recipes, appetizers, and plenty of tips and tricks to make you love you kitchen even more.

My (Friday) Martini Moment

Totally staying the same and what a better way to start the weekend? Whatever I have going on that week or what I'm into at the moment I'm gonna share it with you! Including a delicious drink recipe of course. I wouldn't be me without one of those.  

Thank you to everyone who has stopped by my blog through the years and thank you for the continued kind words about it. I appreciate it more than you know! 

Lovely Lavender

Happy First Day of Spring!!! 

I'm ignoring everything they are saying about the impending snow we are supposed to get. I can't hear yooooou! Anyway. After Pantone named the color of the year "Ultra Violet" it was pretty safe to assume we would be seeing a lot of purples this season. Lavender has been a runway staple for this season. Now, I can totally understand if you aren't a fan of this color trend but if you are and aren't so sure how to wear it I'm giving you a couple Fast Tips on how to rock it this season. 

Pair it with a yellow. They are complementary colors and will always look good together.  

On the flip side of that you could wear a print that has similar colors that are on the same side of the color wheel. 

If you aren't so into colors, rock an all black look letting the lavender speak for itself.

May your Tuesday be short but not your patience.  

Scrumptious Stacks

By now I'm sure you know I like things that are fancy, fast, and delicious. This is absolutely all of those things. One of the best parts about this recipe is that it's very versitile. It would work for Brunch, a dinner party, or just dinner for two as a snazzy appetizer. 

I'm very attracted to stack recipes. I must love a tower formation, haha. So this is a take on the classic Caprese Salad. Its so simple but definitely a crowd pleaser. 

What you need per one person:

fresh mozzarella ball

a big red tomato

 fresh basil

Bread and fry your tomatoes with extra virgin olive oil. 
 

You'll have to move fairly quickly to serve these tasty dishes. Fry the tomatoes for about three-five minutes on each side. Use your best judgment. Once they are done, place on a paper towel to get rid of excess oil. 

Then, just stack with tomato, cheese, tomato cheese. Top with fresh Basil and then drizzle with Balsamic. It's the perfect dish. Trust me on that one.  

Hoping your Hump Day is easy, fast, and full of delicious food.
