Patio Punch

Is it just me or is it really hard to tell which way is up or down this week? Might be the holiday or might be my baby that feels sleep is only for the weak. Anyway, it’s patio season and if you know me then you know I love my wine but also a unique cocktail here and there. And by the time Friday gets here I'm more than ready for just that. So for today's Martini Moment I'm sharing the most perfect drink for Summer days and nights spent outside.  

Pimm's Punch

1 cup Pimm's Liquor

1/2 cup Vodka

Lemonade

Handful of strawberries

1/2 orange

1/2 cucumber

Fresh mint

Get your favorite pitcher and add your booze. Fill 3/4 of the way up with lemonade.  Add fruit and ice, then garnish with fresh mint.

It feels like we get another weekend, no? Enjoy it everyone! 

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July! 

I hope you have yourself a fun day planned! If you're cooking out I've got the perfect addition! Nothing screams the Fourth of July like watermelon. So on today's Perfectly Plated I'm sharing my Watermelon Pizza recipe. It's easy, pretty, and healthy!  

Watermelon Pizza

One slice of watermelon

1/2 cup red onion

4 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tbsp sugar

Pink Himalayan Sea Salt

extra virgin olive oil

Feta cheese

Pecans

Fresh basil

Mix the onion, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl and let sit for 20 minutes. Stir it occasionally. After that, strain the onions (make sure they are soft) add a splash of olive oil to the mixture and brush each side of your watermelon with it. Grill the watermelon until its marked by the grill and super juicy. Then just add pecans, onion, feta, and basil. Cut it up and serve like pizza!

Enjoy your day! 

Ahead Of The Trends

Let me first start off by saying that I love summer. Not as much as I used to but the love is still there. But it is that time of year that if you’re into fashion then you’re looking ahead at the fall fashion trends. Don’t get me wrong I have every intention of soaking up every minute of this first summer with my boys but let’s do it with style! I’m sharing a fun summer look that you can wear now but still be on point for fall.

Print Mixing was everywhere for Fashion Week and I must say I couldn't be more thrilled as I love to pattern mix. Floral, stripes, and leopard is my favorite way to pattern mix. If you are unsure about it try just two patterns and a neutral piece.

 I don't know about you but I need alllll of the coffee today. Here's to hoping this Tuesday brings us some positive vibes and some strong java.
