Summer Must-Haves

Ahhh June, the official month of Summer…

The change of a season is always exciting and the fun of summer is no exception. And now that we are able to start gathering again and doing things like going out to eat I thought I’d talk about five things your closet should have in it for this soon approaching season.

1. Something Pistachio

   This fabulous color made it’s big debut last Fall and has ever so effortlessly made it’s way into Spring and Summer. It’s light and airy vibe is perfect for that much anticipated night out. This is also a great color for a monochrome look. Plus it’s a green and you guys know a freakin’ love green.

2. A Bright, Easy, Dress

1. Running around and don’t really have the time to think about an outfit? Enter the flows, satin dress. The bright color is uplifting and perfect for a hot day as it flows. Find this fab purple number at Target!

3. Signature Sunnies!

Now, I never leave the house without sunglasses. Rain, clouds, snow? Doesn’t matter I always have them on when I leave the house. But these babies are going to be my signature summer sunglasses look. The perfect pop of red!

4. That Flat

1. It has never been a secret that I am a heel girl, however, if you’re headed to that BBQ heels simply aren’t a good idea (don’t think I haven’t don it though). Have the perfect comfortable flat that you know will go with everything. Mine? Feathers, of course.

5. Dressy & Casual Hat

Oh I love a good hat. I’ve said it before, I love them so much it was my first word. If you follow me on insta you’ve seen both hats of mine before because they are my favorites! My “casual” hat was a gift and is so perfect for a BBQ. And I can’t help but love the dragonfly and bees! My “dressy” hat is a classic black and white stripe and sure to go with everything. Hats look great but what’s even more important is to protect that face!

I hope you all have a super chic week and enjoy the warm sunny weather!

The Summer Spritz

I don’t know about you but I really can’t believe it’s almost June! Maybe it’s because I’ve lost all track of time during the quarantine and having two kids, but wow! Time has flown!

I think it’s pretty clear I’m an “indoorsy” gal but when I make it as far as the patio, I love having a fresh, delicious drink in my hand. This, my friends, is the perfect summer drink. Not only is it easy but it has the most elegant nature. Perfect for a hot afternoon under the sun.

What you do:

Simply add vodka, lemon juice, honey, and a sprig of Rosemary to a shaker filled with ice and shake, shake, shake! Strain into your glass of choice over ice, top with club soda, and garnish with lemon wheel and the last spring of Rosemary.

Enjoy the weekend!

Fancy, French, & Fast

There are some days when calories just shouldn’t count.

It’s one o’clock on the nose, both children are sleeping (for now), and the house is quiet. I decide it’s the perfect moment to open a bottle of bubbly, turn on some music, and do a little french baking. I’ve always wanted to make a classic french Clafoutis.

Here’s the thing. This has never been a blog where I word vomit. No need. I like to make it fast and get right to it. The best part about this recipe? It’s very fancy but very easy! An impressive addition to breakfast, brunch, or even for an afternoon moment to yourself.

A Classic Strawberry Clafoutis

What you need:

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 360 degrees.

2. Prepare the batter. In a bowl mix together flour, sugar, and salt. Then make a well.

3. Break the eggs, stir, and slowly mix in warm milk (I used skim).

4. Grease the ramekins and pack your fruit at the bottom.

5. Pour batter over the fruit and bake for 25-30 minutes.

6. Once done, sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

   It’s as simple as that! I love to bring you recipes that might seem intimidating but don’t have to be. I hope you enjoyed this one! Don’t forget to add some champs to this one!
