Blackberry and Peach Galette

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday :)
Yesterday, we gathered at our friends Brandy and Myles' place for a BBQ. No particular occasion, just wanted to catch up and enjoy each others company. I was in charge of dessert so opted for something very easy. That's when I remembered Emily's post and thought it would be perfect. It turned out to be a very effortless recipe that was equally as easy to scarf down. We even topped ours off with vanilla ice cream! I can't wait to re-create this recipe with other in-season fruits, its so versatile.

Swimsuit Guide

Hello there ladies! Yes, I know the most dreaded time of the year is coming up, bathing suit season. We all hate it, but we got to do it. If your summer plans consist of hanging out by the pool with friends or going on vacation to somewhere exotic, make sure you have fun with your bathing suit choice. I always say that your bathing suit should always have a little bit of fun to it like option #1, its print is made up with tiny apples, so cute! What's great is you can buy them online and try them on at home, no need to go to the store :)

Work the Wedge

I love a good pair of wedge sandals especially during this time of year. I'm seeing so many great pairs out there in all colors and styles that will look great with a pair of jeans, a dress or shorts. Plus they are really comfortable and very easy to walk in which definitely helps if you're on your feet quite a bit. So as usual I was doing a little window shopping online at all my favorite shoes sites to see which ones would make it to my shopping bag. I found so many cute pairs it was hard to narrow them down but here are my top five favorites.

Color Me Pink

This weekend was filled fun in the sun and laughter surrounded by great friends enjoying this California weather! I couldn't have asked for better weather with the sun shining, the roses blooming and the fruity cocktails flowing it was overall an awesome weekend! With lots of color around me I was inspired by the beautiful color of the pink roses in my backyard that it made we want to change my pale pink polish to a color just as bright and pink as the roses. This is the season of keeping up with the Mani's & Pedi's so my polish is frequently changing. During winter or fall I wear dark polishes and then in the spring or summer it's all about color, the brighter the better! In this case for Spring, it's going to be a bright pink for me from OPI called I'm Indi-a Mood for Love. I'm sure next week I'll be inspired by something else and be Indi-a Mood for another color.
