Memorial Day Weekend always gets me so excited.  The unofficial start of Summer!  Just reminds me of everything that’s right around the corner.  Longer evening.  Sunny days.  Pool days.  Barbecuing.  Cut-off + flip flops.  Lots of cold rosé.  Happy hours.  Family vacations.  Celebrations.  Long weekends.  There is no better way to welcome summer, than to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend.

Weekend plans: Potter Valley Rodeo!  I haven’t been to a rodeo in yearrrsss.  Pretty pumped to dust off my shit kickers.  Some kayaking is on the agenda.  Lots of beer drinking.  And sunshine.  Whatever you do, make it a good one!

 

ONE – Saved By The Max // Did anyone else DIE over the Vanderpump Rules cast at The Max?  Raise your hand if you grew up on Saved By The Bell?  Zack ♥ You guys, I googled that shit.  There is a legit pop-up in West Hollywood.  It’s called Saved By The Max.  ANYONE can go.  It looks just like the Max too!  Kinda like the Museum Of Ice Cream + The Color Factory, but all about Saved By The Bell.  Basically it’s a place to go and get all the cool pictures that are wayyy insta worthy!

$40 a person and you can choose Brunch or Dinner in either The Max or Mr. Belding’s Office.

Check it out here: Saved By The Max

I really aged myself when I tried to have a convo with Bay about it…Ha!  “What’s Saved By The Bell?”

TWO – Cilantro Vinaigrette //  You will want to put this shit on EVERYTHING!  Swear.  Sandwiches.  Salads.  Over cheese…yum.  Put a dollop over hummus.  Toss with your veggies and roast.  I even added some to ranch dressing.  WOW!  I’m going to marinade chicken in the little bit that I have left.  It’s got a little kick, but Bay didn’t seem to notice.

I’m tell you this stuff is gold.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • big ass bunch of cilantro (or 2 small ones)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (still in love with Seka Hills evoo)
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Toss everything in the food processor.  Blend for about 1 minutes, until everything is nice and smooth.

Pour into a mason jar and pop in the fridge.

THREE – Crop Top //  Boxy + cropped + structured = perfect.  Just gimme all the crop tops!  I’m hooked on this look.  Front tucked.  Totally tucked.  Loving it!  And it’s pink.  Not only am I a sucker for a good striped tee, you make it pink and sold!  If you’re down with crop tops, grab this before it’s gone!

Suppper sale!  Everything!  From the top, to the denim to the slides.  Each item is marked down.  I was originally going to share an egg recipe, but fuck that.  This is a little more important in my book!

The egg recipe will come next week for those of you that could give two shits about this outfit 🙂

Ok, let’s talk #ootd

The Top!

Silk + Peplum + Red!

Have I mentioned that I’m on a major red kick at the moment?  I was cleaning my closet this week and pulled out 3 (new..oops) red tops.

I wore this top in Vegas last weekend with denim shorts.  I’ve tried it with white jeans + white short and loved it equally.

Today, I’m wearing it with my new denim because I love them so much I couldn’t wait to rip the tags off and slide them on.

Best part…..

Originally $78.  Marked down $39.99.  Use code: YAYSALE for an additional 50% off.

Making this top $19.99!

That’s a steal!

This year, the color of spring is PINK!  Yes ladies, pink is officially chic.  Ha!!  When I think pink, the first thing that comes to mind is Barbie doll pink.  Nooo!  Not just any pink.  I’m talking dusty rose.  Pastel pink.  Pale pink.

 

This perfect pink seriously the easiest color to style.  It goes with anything and everything you already own.  Trust me!  Every online clothing site I shop has pink featured all over their website.  Black + Pink…yesss!  White + pink…always safe.  Denim + pink…forever.  How about green + pink?  I vote yes!  Pink + stripes.  Pink + Navy…I could go on and on……

 

Here are some of my pink picks….

Linen lace V-neck tank – willow pink

Pink Bomber Jacket // Linen Lace V-neck Tank //  Strappy Ankle Tie Sandal // Pink Stripe Tie-Front Shirt // Spaghetti-Strap Bodysuit // Off the Shoulder Tee

We made it!  It’s Friday!  And is it just me, or is today perfect beer drinking weather?  Cheers to the weekend!!!

 

First, I’ve got 5 things on my mind…….

 

ONE – Circle Beach Towel // I’ve been on the hunt for an affordable beach roundie for far too long.  I originally fell in love with The Beach People Towels at Nordy’s.  $110 for a beach towel?  Nahh!  My homegirl (not really) at Living In Yellow posted this super cute, super in-expensive version from American Eagle last week.  Shit you not, I paid $11 + free shipping for this beauty.  The towel not the kid 🙂  I’m obsessed with tie-dye and the hot pink tassel trim doesn’t hurt either.  This color is sold out, but the pink tie-dye with yellow tassels is equally as good!  And it’s currently full price….boo!  $19 is still a damn good deal considering I’ve done my roundie research and this is the lowest I’ve ever seem them.

I can already picture us kickin it at Pope Beach with our roundie this summer!!!

AEO TIE-DYE CIRCLE BEACH TOWEL

TWO – Pineapple Pizzas // Or do I call them Mini Hawaiian Pizzas?  Either way, this pizza will knock your socks off.  I saw this on Cooking Light instagram this week and thought, interesting.  Then last night, as I was enjoying a Rold Gold Pretzel dinner…..I realized that I had all the ingredients to make this pizza.  Leftover ham from Easter for dayyysss.  Can of pineapple slices (it’s one of the ONLY fruits that I kinda like).  Mozzarella cheese.  And sauce.  I was so impressed with the finished product that I had my baby daddy try it to make sure I wasn’t loosing my fucking mind.  He agreed!  His response “you better put this on that blog thingy that you do.”  Haha!

 

 

IMG_6978.JPG

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • large can of pineapple slices (I’m sure fresh would be great)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 8 slices of ham (Canadian bacon would be killer)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • sliced black olives
  • 3 tablespoons basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

 

Here’s what you do:

Heat a grill pan over medium-high.  Coat liberally with non-stick cooking spray.  Place pineapple slices on grill pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side.  Transfer to a lined baking sheet.

Heat olive oil + butter in a pan over medium heat.  Add onion and cook untill browned and sticking to the pan.  About 10-15 minutes.

Top each pineapple slice in this order:

1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese

Slice of ham

1 tablespoon pizza sauce

1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese

Caramelized onion

Olives

Broil on High for 5 minutes.  Watching carefully so they don’t burn.

Sprinkle with chopped basil + crushed red pepper flakes.

 

Try not to eat 6 slices, like I did 🙂

So So Good.  I’m a major pizza girl and I have to admit, I impressed my damn self with these mini pizzas!!

 

THREE – Spring Show // Bay and I wrote her 2017 Buyers Letter this week.  Then it dawned on me that Spring Show is TWO weeks away.  Exactly 14 days!  Holy shit.  Barbecue is right on track at a whoppin 245 lbs. (as of last week)  He is Some Pig!  Ha.  Bay has worked her little butt off feeding, cleaning and walking Barbecue since January.  Not only that, she has paid 100% out of her own pocket this year.  Pig + feed + shavings + vaccinations.  You better believe she’s also kept track of every penny too.   Last year, her first year, we footed the bill.  I love seeing how proud she is.  Investing her own money in this project has made the experience a little different this year.  It’s crazy to think it’s almost over.  Sorry, I’m getting all sappy!

So, unfortunately this isn’t what I’m actually wearing today.  I know, it’s sad.  This is what I WISH I was wearing today.  Because, let’s be real….we are all so over this damn rain.  The cold weather.  Bring on some sunshine and higher temps Mother Nature.  Pretty please.  I’ve been stocking up on Spring-y pieces that I can’t wait to wear!!

I fell in love at first sight with both these Levi’s + this top.  They are kind of a match made in heaven ♥

{canadian tuxedo}

Proving my devotion to denim today.  Only today is denim on denim.  AKA the Canadian Tuxedo.

When I hear Canadian tuxedo, this is what I picture in my head……

So, so bad.  All bad.  Like, fuck no BAD!

 

Once again Urban Dictionary said it best:

Today it refers to any outfit consisting of a denim jacket, with denim jeans. Originating in the 1950s, crooner Bing Crosby was nearly rejected from an upscale hotel because he had been wearing an all-denim outfit. Levis heard of this and sent him a special-made all denim tuxedo.
Justin looked completely ridiculous wearing his Canadian tuxedo

Here’s my first shot.  Next time I’m busting out the denim jacket too 🙂

{the cold shoulder}

Posted in fashion, ootd, Uncategorized by

The Cold Shoulder

A form of body language what occurs when a person is ignoring you completely.

According to the Urban Dictionary I give the cold shoulder like a mother f’er.  I’m kind of the queen of the cold shoulder.  But this time we’re not talking about that kind of cold shoulder.

Let’s chat about the ever so trendy cold shoulder top.  Or how about the off the shoulder?  I’m totally diggin them both equally!  I am also the queen of this cold shoulder too 🙂

HAPPY FRIDAY and HAPPY WEEKEND!

Friday 5 is live…..

 

ONE – Since I’m not hosting Thanksgiving this year, I got all Christmasy and shit.  Holiday whore is in full swing.  My lights are up on the house.  With a help from Bay and my Mom.  Taking turns holding the ladder so I didn’t die and handing me rain gutter clips.  We are cutting out tree down this weekend!  Yesss, you heard me right.  Long story, but if it doesn’t happen this weekend, then it wont happen at all.  Which clearly isn’t an option!  Saturday afternoon our halls will be officially decked the fuck out!  I can’t wait!  Since we are in the Christmas spitit, Bailey made her Christmas list.  Including a column for “what store” to help a mama out.  She totally get’s it from me.  I just email my Mom links with sizes and colors attached…lol.

TWO – Mannequin Challenge //  Anyone else totally obsessed with the new craze?  I’m dying to do one.  I’m thinking once Alex has the baby.  Her nursing at the dinner table while we are all cheersing and pretending like she isn’t?  Haha.  If you haven’t watched them, you HAVE too.  I’ve linked 4 of the popular ones below!
