Gold is HOT this summer. From yellow gold jewelry to sparkly gold stilettos, the ultimate goal(d) is to be a Golden Girl. This gold outfit below was inspired by Ruthie Davis’s spring/summer collection stillettos, the Spikette shoe, pictured below with the matching person. I was browsing through Ruthie’s collection and fell in love.
The other products featured are a beautiful golden Michael Korrs watch, a leather dress from net-a-porter.com, Juicy Couture heart studs, and NARS gold nail polish.
Just got back from the most amazing trip to South Beach, Miami for our beautiful friends’ wedding! I cannot believe that this weekend is fourth of July. My fiance and I are going to this great party that sets the bar high for back yard barbeques. It is a bash with live music, sports entertainment, pool, hot tub, and of course great people and awesome drinks. It got me thinking, if I had a house (we currently live in a condo) what kind of fourth of July party would I throw. I figured I’d live vicariously through you!
Vanilla chocolate covered strawberries & blue sugar topping
Patriotic cakes in a mini jar… so festive & delish!
Drink dispenser made from Watermelon. I would make a watermelon punch inside with watermelon flavored vodka, fresh watermelon, pineapple juice, fruit juice, and sherbet. 🙂
Cute party decor from marthastewart.com. She knows best!
Fun sparklers and matches
Ever since my Seafoam Green senior prom dress, I have fallen in love with this color for summer. Not only does it bring back great memories, it is such a fun color and goes perfect with other fun colors like pale yellow & coral. I am so excited to be heading to Miami tomorrow for a getaway and a friend’s wedding. Below are a couple absolutely adorable items that accent this beaufiful color. I especially love the Vera Bradley towel.
One of my good friends works at a very chic local coffee shop. Think Starbucks but much more space and variety. One of their most popular drinks is Bubble Tea. I had never tried it and wanted to see what all the hype was about so I found a recipe for homemade bubble tea. I absolutely love Tapioca so the Tapioca balls are so tempting.
Ingredients
¼ cup of flavored syrup or 1 package of powder (about ¼ cup per package)
¼ cup of hot water
¾ cup brewed tea, chilled
2 tablespoons sugar syrup
2 tablespoons tapioca balls, cooked Ice
Directions:
Shake the first four ingredients in a cocktail shaker.
Bring some water to a boil in a kettle. Measure 2 tablespoons of tapioca balls into a microwave-safe container. Pour boiling water on top of the tapioca balls to cover. Microwave for 1 minute.
Strain the tapioca balls and pour into cup.
Add some ice. Serve with a wide straw and enjoy!
To all the daddies out there, Happy Fathers Day, especially to my own with love. xoxo
