4th of July!

          Happy Fourth of July! I am spending my day by the pool with my family and boyfriend, followed by fireworks at the country club (my old job). For breakfast, I am making Belgium waffles (even if they did beat us in soccer) topped with blueberries and strawberries and homemade whipped cream. Patriotic, I know. Carbon's Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour is my favorite mix to use; you just add an egg, milk, and melted butter. Using my mom’s Krups Waffle maker, they come out perfect!

            No, this is not my body, but this is my swimsuit. I got this last season online and it only comes out of my dresser on the Fourth of July. Gotta represent! Although I’m not on a boat or an island like last 4^th of July, definitely looking forward to a day off and family time! 

Happy 4^th!!

XOXO

Memorial Weekend BBQ

Whether you are at a BBQ, the beach, or poolside celebrating this three day weekend. Please remember to thank a soldier or a veteran for their service. They are the reason for our freedom. I am blessed to have many "dads" that are serving and/ or have served and are now retired. I also have a handsome boyfriend who happens to be a captain in the Marine Corps. So these weekends are always pleasant reminders to not take things for granted.

However, I am also not one to argue with a three day weekend! I spent Saturday and Sunday working for my mom's BBQ competition team, Sues Ques. It was a ton of work, my hair and clothes wreaked of BBQ smoke and charcoal, and it was exhausting. But so much fun!! So my outfit this weekend consisted of a Sues Ques tshirt, running shorts, and running shoes. Comfy!! Tonight I have a family friend BBQ. Here are few ideas for how to dress..

 

I have a small love affair with anything striped. Just see my instagram.

This dress from Lord & Taylor is actually on sale!!

 

This is most likely what I will be wearing tonight for the BBQ at a family friend's house.

 

Obsessed with this top. If anyone finds a great replica. Let me know!!

 

 

Planning on making this tonight for the party!! So festive!!
