Summer Home Tour Favorites

 
Hi everyone!  Yay for Friday!  Did you catch any of the Summer Home Tours that Marty organized?  It was packed with such a fabulous group and overflowed with so much inspiration.  I loved browsing through the beautiful tours soaking up ideas for my own home.  So, today I rounded up five of my favorites to share.  For a full post, you can click the link below each picture.  Get ready to be amazed!

A Thoughtful Place

Just looking at one of the pictures from these tours you can get an idea of what I'm talking about.  So, so good.
 
Hope you all have a beautiful weekend!  And wishing all the wonderful dads out there a very Happy Father's Day!

Summer Style

 
Hi everyone!  I hope summertime is treating you well!  We are getting lots of rain today from Tropical Storm Bill, but we were able to enjoy a few sunny days at the pool last week.  I purchased this swimsuit (top | bottom) during the Memorial Day sales and love it!  I have worn a bandeau bikini top for the last few years, so switching to a triangle top has been fun!  And of course love the stripes!  And since everything in this picture except the sunnies are from J.Crew Factory, I thought you might like to know that today J.Crew Factory has 50% off plus free shipping with the code SOSWEET. 
 
I also ordered this romper in black.  I think it will be fun to dress up or just throw on for casual occasions.
 
I've shared this dress before, but seriously such a great piece to add to your wardrobe.  $48 & so flattering!
 
And love this cute, affordable cover-up.  Reminds me of my Anthro one, but at a great price!
 
Have a beautiful day!

Healthy Summer Snack | Apple Cookies

 
Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share a quick, healthy summertime snack with you.  My sister-in-law hosted a party a couple of weeks ago and made these and I loved them!  Apples topped with a few of my favorite ingredients...yes please!  They were so yummy that I decided to make a batch yesterday and they were a hit with my family too!
 
 
Apple Cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 2-3 apples
  • peanut butter
  • shaved coconut
  • sliced almonds
  • chocolate chips
Method
  1. Slice apples and then core out middle.  (In case you didn't know, like I didn't, there is such thing as an apple coring tool, found at my grocery store.  And it works wonderfully!)  I found it easier to slice the apple, then core the middle out with my new little tool. 
  2. Spread a layer of peanut butter.
  3. Sprinkle on the coconut and almonds.
  4. Top off with chocolate chips.


Seriously, so easy and so delish!  Hope you enjoy!!

Happy Summer!
