Style Guide: {Mixed Prints} Polka Dots and Palm Leaves
Shirt: Urban Outfitters | Pants: Topshop | Shoes: Topshop | Bag: Kate Spade | Sunglasses: American Eagle (super old) | Temporary Tattoo: c/o E.L.F Cosmetics
This summer I'm all about dressing like I'm on a tropical vacation. I love playing with different prints and for some reason these two prints shouldn't go together but they worked perfectly. This is probably one of my favorite looks that I've thrown together recently.

Weekend Wear: Sunday Funday
Shirt: LF Stores | Skirt: Necessary Clothing | Sandals: J.Crew | Bag: Kate Spade | Sunglasses: Call It Spring
They don't call Sunday Funday for no reason. This Sunday I celebrated my bestie from high school's 30th birthday with bottomless mimosas then the husband and I celebrated Bastille Day in the hood. We've lived in Carroll Gardens for the past 5 years and for the past 4 years we've missed the exciting Bastille Day activities. So it was nice to finally get to celebrate and what better way then with France and Portugal in the Euro Cup finale...even though France ended up losing. Either way it was a great way to end the weekend.
How was your weekend?

Foodie Friday: Quick & Easy Sugar Cookie Trifle
Sometimes mistakes make you have to think on your feet and you end up creating something pretty damn good. My husband and I had this idea of creating sugar cookie strawberry cups using Pillsbury sugar cookie dough. Well not fully thinking this through when I pulled out the muffin tin and let them sit they started to fall apart. I hadn't thought about the consistency of the dough holding up. I already had used a whole roll and a half of dough, so I didn't want to toss it all out and buy new dough and to do a sheet. With some quick thinking on my part, I switched it up to a trifle. Okay more like a "trifle" since we are not fancy and don't actually have a trifle bowl. Either way it worked out PERFECTLY!
This is the perfect quick summer dessert for backyard BBQs or pool parties.

Staycation: BBQ Playlist
Shirt: old (from a boutique that no longer exist) | Tank: H&M | Jeans: Madewell (ripped my accident) |
Sunglasses: Feather's Boutique | Bag: Kate Spade | Necklace: c/o Una
Are you traveling for the long weekend? Or are you just staycationing? Maybe throwing a BBQ? No matter what your plans are for the weekend everyone needs a good playlist. The husband and I are having a small BBQ on Sunday with some close friends so a good BBQ playlist is a must! Since everyone has different taste in music I always like picking a good mix of music. There are certain songs that will always make it onto a BBQ or summer travel playlist of mine, which are: Sublime "Santeria" and "What I Got" as well as O.A.R "That Was A Crazy Game of Poker." These are the songs that remind me of being at college hanging out with my friend. And of course you need the classics like Jimmy Buffet "Margaritaville" and Bob Marley "Is This Love."
What songs are a MUST on your summer travel or BBQ playlist?
