Hey, Friends!

Honestly, I don’t own a lot of purple but I do have a couple pieces I really love.

Especially for Spring.  

Sometimes I find myself giggling at what Dior says like using the word “danger” for owning a garment of clothing. However I do agree that you can get tired of it which is why I don’t own that much of this color.  But when I pull out my lavender spring coat it feels so fresh! When you wear purple I always say either stay on the same side of the color wheel or total opposite. For example, I’ve paired this coat with a yellow bodysuit. For this look though, I’m madly in love with this soft peach scarf and love how it complimented the lavender. 

Here is to a wonderful and hopefully warmer week! 

La Tarte Au Citron

Or as people who speak English say “The Lemon Tart”!

Ahhh now that Spring has officially sprung I’m ready to make all the spring recipes, clean every room in my house, including my closet. We’ll get to that later.

Today is all about the perfect French lemon tart!  Because spring screams all things fresh and lemon! 

For this recipe I used frozen pie dough to speed the process along. Bake on 350 for about 10 minutes and let cool.

What you need: 

5 eggs

4 lemons

1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest

1/2 whipping cream

1/3 cup sugar

Whatever you choose to decorate your tart with. I used lemon, blueberries, mint, and powdered sugar.  

What you do:

Simply whisk together the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest. After that is combined, add the whipping cream and sugar. Pour into your cooled crust. Bake on 350 for about 25-30 minutes or until the center is set.

Let cool and enjoy!

Decorating tips:

1. I like to use ingrediencies that are opposite of the color wheel. Blue and yellow are complimentary colors which is why I chose blueberries.

2. Add a pop of color. Mint does this perfect because it is so fresh just like lemon.

3. Doing this design all over would be overkill so choose a side to decorate.

   Thanks for stopping by, and just think: today is Champagne Thursday and tomorrow is Friday. We can make it!

Fundamentals of Fashion

Hi Friends!

This week’s Dior word of the week is more of a phrase.

I’m really glad he put this in his book…

The reason I’m so glad he added this is because there can be so much pressure in fashion even if you are only slightly into it. That isn’t even counting the second you pull up Instagram and you see the sort of famous “Insta Models”. My point is I’m glad he said this because there truly is no key. Don’t stress out over looking “perfect”. Have about 10 garments that you love, feel good in, and know it’s a no fail look. For me, I adore a cape and you can’t go wrong with black and white.

My food for thought? Own who you are, your style, and certainly don’t give a damn about anything else when it comes to dressing.

Be you.❤️
