Let Your La Perla’s Shine!

Hello, hello friends!

Getting right to the point today and talking about a very easy and chic summer fashion trend you should hop on. The exposed bra trend made it appearance on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet last month. Scarlett Jo and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were just two of the celebs rocking this trend.

My take on it was a little more casual than a gown but it surly is a super fun way to lean into this trend. And as always if you’re not into it, skip this one.

I think this is a very fun way to spice up your summer looks. After all, Summer starts tomorrow!

Thank you for stopping by today! Enjoy your Tuesday!

Frittered Away

Hello, hello!

Between mothering, being sick as a dog, and slammed with work I haven’t had time for to much else. But, I’ve been on a real fritter kick so I thought I’d share my two current favorites. They come together fast and are an easy side; or if you’re like me, a meal. Let’s start with my favorite of the two…

what you do:

1. Get two bowls. In one combine all ingredients for the fritter and in the other the ingredients for the smash.

2. Heat coconut oil in a pan and form the fritters, once the oil is hot drop them in. Cook on each side until a little brown.

3. I also threw these in the oven on 375 for about 15 minutes to give them a little extra crisp.

4. In the second bowl add the smash ingredients and, well, smash them all together.

   Squeeze it with lime and that’s it! I absolutely loved this recipe and will for sure be making it again in the future.

Next up is great for when you have a delicious zucchini from the garden!

Another fantastic thing about these recipes is that they both have the same instructions. Use the above steps for the following recipe.

These recipes scream summer and are definitely on the lighter side. Even get creative and make one into a sandwich! This girl loves a sandwich. Also, if you don’t want the vegan version just use regular sour cream.

Have a beautiful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

Beautifully Balanced

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I hope you have some fun planned!

When you make a cocktail it’s all about balance. That’s always my main focus when I’m putting together a drink. For this weeks cocktail recipe I went for something sweet and sour. But, I wanted to add something fresh because I hate artificial flavors. In my kitchen I have a basil plant and decided to use that for a simple syrup as I absolutely love making flavored syrups.

Here is how you make this one:

what you do:

Simply add these three ingredients to a shaker and shake, shake, shake! I rimmed the glass with sugar for a little extra sweetness.

This recipe is a really good example of flavor balance. The sour of the lemon is the perfect counterpart to the sweet basil syrup. Not only is this recipe so fast and easy, it’s fresh and delicious too. A perfect sip for Memorial Day weekend!

Be safe, have fun, and get a delicious cocktail in that hand!
