THE PEAKS...
Home sweet Home:
Receiving such a warm welcome back from friends and family upon my arrival back from my vacation! Feels good to be home! -Rebecca
Good People:
Getting a free meal at a restaurant because they ran late with the food. Even though we didn't complain, they comped our meal and gave us a free one to come back. - Andrea  

...and the pits.

Restless Legs:

Sitting on an airplane while experiencing some restless legs and not being able to shake it off. It was a long flight home. -Rebecca
The July Blues:
Rain and humidity do nothing for my wardrobe choices. - Andrea

DIY: Spread the Love

I'm on this kick right now with making some jewelry out of wire. I took some inspiration from the seeing cute wire rings made with words such as "love", "hope" or "wish". So with my latest DIY I wanted to make a love ring. It was very simple I just took a long enough piece of wire and began twisting the wire to the shape of the letters and worked my way until the end. I would measure in between to make sure it was still within the size of my finger to ensure it would fit nicely. Below is picture of my inspiration and then my creation to spread the love.

To spend or to save?

I've been eying these Dolce Vita sandals for a quite sometime now, but while cruising the local Target the other day I came across these bad boys. Minus the small heel, backing and gold toe, they are a pretty close match. I do love the more expensive version, that's always my problem. Do I spend or save? That is the question.

Going home...

Today is my final day on my trip, I am currently flying thru the skies to come back home from my amazing trip to Sweden. Although I am happy to be coming back home, I am sad to leave such a great country with some amazing people. I can't wait to share my experience with you all and post some great pictures so stay tuned. Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Orange-lime Margaritas

Last week I received my copy of the much anticipated, Cupcakes and Cashmere book! Having been a fan of Emily's for quite some time, I knew that her book would be nothing short of fabulous. While hanging by the pool this yesterday, I thought it would be the perfect time to try out her Orange-Lime Margaritas. Paired with some homemade guacamole, these bad boys did not disappoint. I loved the citrus-y taste and how there isn't so much sugar in them. Try them out. Trust, you will love them.

Word of Mouth: Mendocino Farms

I'm late to the game on this one, but still wanted to try it. I have to say, right when you walk into the restaurant, it's a little overwhelming! The menu is pretty big and I felt pressured to hurry up and make a choice because the waiters are all up in your face. Thankfully, I made a good choice. My friend on the other hand would probably make a better decision on her next visit. Check out the goods below.

This picture doesn't do it justice. Such a great alternative to very much friend chicken sandwich. Highly recommend.

 Eh. This was just lacking some flavor. Thank god for the jalapeno relish. Just pour a whole bunch of that stuff on anything and it will be amazing.

Hats off to Summer

With the sun in your eyes sometimes you need more than just sunglasses to help block those sunshine rays and hats are just the right accessory. I recently purchased the fedora hat shown above from Forever 21 which I'm dying to wear while out in the sun. It didn't make it on my trip Sweden but I'm so looking forward to rocking it once I get back home. Another reason I love hats is for the days were your hair is just not cooperating and the only thing to make you feel some what better is to wear a hat. It works wonders to cover up your bad hair or lazy hair days. I would like to expand my hat collection and so far I've seen some really cute ones out there, below are a couple I'm into for the summer.
