My Type of Stripe

​MK and I were a little under the weather this past weekend so our week got off to a rocky start. On the upswing now and ready to get into the Dior Word of the Week.

I’m my humble opinion, I feel like stripes are a huge fundamental of fashion. My favorite is the classic black and white but believe me I wear​ more than just that.

I think it’s hard to go wrong with stripes. They can be elegant or edgy too. Also, I think fashion has gotten a little more lax since the days of Dior. While yes, it’s still true to keep your shape in mind. Head to toe horizontal stripes without anything to break it up might not be the best idea but if you like it then wear it. 

I love a good black and white look but I also love to throw in a color or something unexpected like a glitter pump. The point? Have fun with stripes! Add a floral pattern in there or even leopard! 

Here is to hoping that your Tuesday goes fast, your coffee strong, and a little fun comes your way!

Sips and Scents

We finally made it to the weekend!

Is it just me or did this week seem like three? Which is why I’m so ready for a cocktail! It might still be winter but I’m thinking Spring with this drink.

Pear Vanilla Rosemary Cocktail

Before we make our fancy cocktail first we’ll add some zing to it with Rosemary Simple Syrup.

What you need:

1 pear, chopped

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup water

What you do:

Add in everything in a small pot and just simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, and strain.

Now for our cocktail!

What you need:

2/3 cup pear juice

4 tbsp simple syrup

2 oz vodka

ice

pear slices and rosemary for garnish

What you do:

Simply fill two glasses with ice, divide your vodka, and add two tablespoons of syrup to each glass. Then, add 1/3 cup pear juice to each glass. Garnish and enjoy the amazing smells!

So, since your kitchen now smells AMAZING from this fabulous cocktail I thought since I talked about perfume on Monday, that today along with my drink recipe I would also share five perfume hacks that I swear by.

1. Never have  your perfume in the bathroom. The steam from the shower will eventually ruin it.

2. Moisturize first, your scent will stay longer.

3. The best time to spray your perfume is right after the shower and before getting dressed.

4. Perfume in your hair lasts longer but will dry out your hair. Spray your brush and then brush your hair.

5. Spray tissue paper with your favorite perfume and line your dresser drawers with them for a better scent.

   I hope your weekend is full of sweet smells and delicious sips!

Burger Perfection

Hello Friends!

I don’t know about you but once March hits, I’m mentally done with Winter as much as I love it. All I can think about is enjoying a cocktail on our patio and grilling. Speaking of grilling I love to share with you guys when I find a new kitchen tool that makes life just that much easier. Not to mention prettier. When “Burger Mee” approached me for a collab I was so excited to try out their signature Burger Press. It saves you time because you can press a few of them before you have guests coming and can just throw them on the grill. 

Don’t think you have to only make burgers either!

Think Tuna Melt, Crab Cake, the possibilities are endless! 

If you’re into kitchen tools that will make your life just a little easier head to their Instagram (@burgermee) or website (www.burgermee.com).

In my neck of the woods it feels like -1. So I guess we are just going to have to hang in there and wait for the grill until the weather breaks. Happy Wednesday!
