Black Tie Affair

The other night we had delicious pesto pasta using some funky black and white bowties. They were so precious. In the end we felt underdressed compared to our food. What can we say, we were not fit for a black tie affair.

The recipe is easy enough: Boil pasta for eight minutes. Mix in some peas for color. Add some pesto. We are not chefs, but this sure was delicious.

Beachy Keen

Yesterday we went to the beach. It was a relaxing way to spend a few hours before work. The sun was warm and the water was cool. Sadly, we only got smothered by one huge wave. Needless to say, we are definitely going to hit the waves (yeah right!) as many times as we can this summer. This means that we need to suit-up! Here are some options that we are considering on our hunt for swimsuits.

this Red Rope Print Bandeau Bikini $55 at Topshop

this Yellow Banana Prink Bikini $52 at Topshop
which also comes in a cute turquoise color

this Tie-Back Bandeau $30 at Delias
which would go great with...

this flattering Foldover Band Hipster $30 at Delias

For some reason the picture of this bikini would not appear on the post so if you click this link you will see why it had to be mentioned.
We are also looking for the perfect black bikini, so if you guys know of any good ones, ones that you trust to wear to the beach in front of millions of people, well a lot of people, then leave a comment below of where we can find one.
Thanks!

Wedding Wardrobe Woes?

No worries. We've got you covered. When it comes to weddings, it's best to keep things fun and simple. I'm going to a wedding Saturday afternoon for one of my best friend's sister, and I've got nothing to wear! I'm going shopping today, but I'm thinking something similar to this outfit below is going to be perfect.

 

What? Coral and turquoise again (as seen here and here)? :)

Bombs Away

I'll be honest... right now my room looks like there was an explosion right in the middle of it. I'd show you a picture, but it's just too horrid. I've been trying to get rid of useless stuff I've been hanging onto for a clean, fresh start. I desperately need to find simple ways to spruce up my bomb site (tips soon to come!), but for now I'll just have to gush over these gorgeous bedrooms.

A Little Bold

At the movies the other day, there was a preview playing for a movie where this family's goal was to earn "thrill points." These thrill points were awarded to anyone who did anything thrilling. Thrilling as in makes your heart rate increase and your body shake. Something that makes you laugh and cry. Something that makes you feel invincible for just a moment.

Taller + Fearless Walk = Invincible

Be a little daring in this bright and fun dress.

Let your lips stand out. Love this bottle.

Whoever earns the most thrill points during the summer won. This summer, we are taking the 'thrill' challenge. These items are by no means thrilling, but they do make you feel invincible. Try them out and take up the challenge yourself!
