Sweet and Salty Recipes


 
Hi there!  We are still beach'in it but I wanted to pop in and share a few of my favorite recipes that I like to make for vacation.  Food and drinks are definitely a major part of our vacations plans.  I am a dip/appetizer girl and I also have a major sweet tooth.  I could seriously go to a restaurant and just order appetizers and desserts :)  Here are a few of my favorites above.  You can click on the links below each pic for a full recipe.  For this trip I made the candy surprise cookies and this dip
  
Lots more yummy recipes under my 'FOOD' tab.  All taste-tested and approved!
 
Have a wonderful day!

What is #YourHomeStyle?

 
 
Hi there!  Today, I wanted to quickly pop in to let you know about a fun weekly Design/Décor Series I'm co-hosting on Instagram with 4 other super talented design bloggers.  We want to see your home style.  Each week on Tuesday we announce a new photo challenge theme and you simply post a picture of that week's theme and hashtag it #YourHomeStyle.  This week we are looking for entry ways or foyers.  Then the following Monday we feature our favorite on all 5 of our IG accounts.  And what's great is you don't have to have a blog to join, just an instagram account!  Fun, right?  We have seriously been blown away by all the beautiful homes each week sometimes sending our voting into overtime :)  Below are a few of my favorites from the previous weeks' themes so you can see for yourself what I mean.


 
 
 
 
So gorgeous!  So come join the Instagram fun! 

P.S.  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public tomorrow.  And today is the last day for cardholders to shop deals before things sell out tomorrow.  And you can still earn double reward points through today.  See previous post for the details and some of my favorites!  Happy Shopping!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

on model:  hat | tank | chambray top | jeans | purse (similar)
 
Happy Monday!  Hope you all had a great weekend!  As you already know the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access started a few days ago.  Not a picked through end of season sale, but major sales on all the new styles coming out for next season temporarily marked down.  And if you're a card holder, you can shop early!  I have the debit card, which is free and you get reward points and perks like early access shopping!  So hurry and get one so you can get first dibs on these next season styles!!  You can apply online :)  And if you don't have a card you can shop and add to you wishlist and then purchase on July 17. 

So I finally went through and picked some of my favorites.  The tall boots, booties, jeans and earrings are already on their way.  I also love these jeans and this pair as well.  I have two pair of Vigoss jeans (one I'm wearing in my profile picture :) and they are great...fit well and can't beat the price.  I bought a couple of these long sleeve layering tees last year and wear them a ton.

And what great Christmas gifts these Kendra Scott pieces make:  cuff, stud earrings, dani stone drop earringsnecklace, tassel necklace.  All on sale!  And finally this Tory bag is gorgeous and on major sale.

Happy Shopping!!
