Keep It Fun

Where do you find your style inspiration?

Everyone has a favorite show and it really isn’t much of a secret that mine is Gossip Girl. Blair Waldorf is my all time favorite tv character. Now, the show started in 2007 and ended in 2012. That’s a lot of different fashion trends in those years. The fashion is one really good reason to watch the show. It’s amazing! I feel a lot of times fashion can be so serious. This is a friendly reminder to make sure you’re always keeping it fun and finding inspiration in different places.

My own personal style is more edgy than Blair’s, but I still add a little of her into some of my looks. This year very Blair looking headbands came back into style. So that’s an easy one. But, I think my very favorite thing about her style are her infamous Pussy Bows! I have a lot of tops that have them and sometimes I add them myself with a skinny scarf. My top is very, very, Blair as she loved a frilly sleeve.

I hope you have a great week and remember to keep it fun!

Waste Not

I know I’ve been talking about the “Low Carb Life” a lot but like I said last week I’m really enjoying it and love to find new recipes to make. I was in the mood for something sweet which is quite rare for me. So I look in my fridge and see that I have some lemons and blueberries that are about to go bad and if it’s one thing I hate it’s wasting anything. I also see I have a zucchini there. Normally I love just regular zucchini bread but decided to add in my lemons and blueberries.

“Keto Blueberry Zucchini Bread”

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9x5 pan with parchment paper.

  2. Cream together the butter and Stevia.

  3. Mix in eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla.

  4. Add almond flour, salt, and baking powder.

  5. With a cheesecloth, squeeze as much moisture from zucchini as you can and add to mixture.

  6. Fold in blueberries.

  7. Transfer to pan and bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  8. After cooled, add glaze.

    This was a big hit with Theo as he deeply loves blueberries. Even though I don’t love sweets it will be nice to have this in the house for a few days. Isn’t zucchini season the best?

    Even though most are back to work, I hope you’re still finding the time to enjoy the kitchen and make new recipes.

    Enjoy your Wednesday!

Hello Monday! Let’s do this!

Sometimes you can get into an outfit rut and feel a little blah. Maybe it seems like you’re wearing the same things or just need to shake up your wardrobe. Need a super fast way to immediately elevate your look? Enter the satin or silk scarf. Instant chic! I found this perfect satin scarf at H&M years ago and it is absolutely my favorite summer scarf.

Here are three great ways to add that perfect accessory to your look…

1. Take your blazer to the next level by adding a belt and tucking it in.

2. Chic up your handbag by tying it around your handle.

3. Tie it around your head. Perfect for a day on the boat, driving with the windows down, or just for a different chic look.

Laughing right into the week because why not? Here’s to hoping you have a chic week with some strong coffee…or maybe…wine.
