Color Inspiration: Lime

 chair // necklace // shoes

It's been awhile since I've been into lime green, probably because I was so obsessed with it in high school that I burnt myself out on it. I still cannot believe my parents allowed my bedroom to be painted neon pink and lime green. Anyway, I've found myself gravitating toward the summery hue lately and I can't help but think that it will go with every other color in my house & wardrobe... Lime, meet mint. I hope you'll be best friends.

Check out this link for ideas on how to incorporate lime (and mint) into your home decor :)

They have so many fun patterns, embellished details, and shiny metallics that would make any shoe-lover swoon. Above are my favorite pairs that immediately caught my attention.

Homemade Calzones

Calzones are at the top of my favorite Italian food list, just above lasagna and pizza. I love bread and cheese, but sometimes dislike the amount of sauce that is included in many Italian dishes. The great thing about calzones, however, is that I can control how much sauce I want, while getting double the bread and cheese! They're also more filling than pizza, so I can eat a small portion and be satisfied. 

I made them at home for the first time a few weeks ago, and I couldn't believe how easy and quick it was to prepare!

Here are the ingredients I used. I don't eat many toppings, but you can add anything you like inside your calzone!

-pizza dough

-mozzarella cheese

-pepperoni

-marinara sauce

Roll out the dough and pile on your toppings. Cut thin strips along each side. Fold over the strips, alternating sides. Bake at 350 until lightly brown. Serve with warm marinara sauce.

*Helpful tip: After you've rolled the dough, lay it out on a greased baking sheet before adding toppings and folding.

So easy, quick, and delicious!

Life Lately

My apologies for being MIA this week. We've been so busy trying to put our new house together! I've even neglected Instagram... and that never happens. But nonetheless, I wanted to share a few photos that I have on my iPhone camera roll to let you in on what's been going on.

 I've came to the conclusion that I NEED this kate spade clutch in my life. Isn't it perfection?! I can't wait to see the movie! But first, I have to find time to re-read the book. I know it won't take me more than a couple hours once I get started, but that just hasn't happened yet.

Chicken Alfredo & salad: the first meal we cooked in our new kitchen! Can I just say how much I love it? New appliances & Mom-approved organization make all the difference.

The Anthropologie tablecloth I ordered yesterday! Isn't it gorgeous?! It will look perfect on the small table in our butler's pantry next to our china & crystal! 

Bella has no problem making herself at home! 

Are you wondering why we have a blanket over the couch? Our slipcover was at the dry cleaners because Bentley made himself a little too comfortable and just didn't want hop down to throw up.

Yesterday I could not stop laughing at this video. How do you teach your dog to dance?!


Have a great weekend! We're hoping to sleep in, catch the Grizzlies game, eat Mexican with Will & Courtney, enjoy our screened-in porch, and get more unpacking done!

Summer Sandals

Steve Madden // Ivanka Trump (on sale!) // Report (on sale!)

J. Crew // Modcloth // Joie

This time of year I always feel like I need to update my sandal collection! I wear flat sandals ALL summer, and because of my non-existent arch, I need little support so flat sandals are so comfy for me! This season, I'm all about the details. Colorblocking, subtle ombre, and simple metallic thongs are at the top of my wish list. What type of sandals are you most drawn to this year?

We're finally all moved into our new house! I'm utterly exhausted from moving for 4 days straight so I'm still trying to get caught up on rest. We didn't hire a moving company and instead opted to do it on our own with help from friends. We absolutely couldn't have done it without Will, Courtney, and Zach's help! I'm still trying to convince Tyler that with the money we saved from moving ourselves, I should be able to get a massage. :)

My parents came up Saturday evening and we spent the rest of the weekend unpacking and organizing. They were such a huge help! We still have a long way to go but we're just so happy to finally be living in our adorable new place.

Candy Colored

J. Crew shirt (sold out, but on eBay) & skirt (similar J. Crew factory version), Target bag, eBay necklace, Steve Madden wedges (similar), kate spade sunnies

Last Sunday was a beautiful spring day with blue skies and a slight breeze. Pretty weather always gets me in the mood to wear bright colors so I couldn't resist pairing my favorite neon shirt with turquoise and yellow! 

Are you getting tired of seeing these sunglasses yet? You must think I don't own any others. And you'd be right. I used to buy cheap sunglasses, but the first time I put these kate spade beauties on, my days of cheap sunglasses were over. The only problem is, I can't afford to have multiple pairs! Obviously I need these mint aviators!

Thanks for reading!

Silver + Tan

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

I've never been a huge fan of the color silver... I'm a gold gal! But this spring is all about silver footwear and I have to admit... I'm kinda loving it! I'm currently drooling over styles that combine silver with tan... It's such an unexpected pairing and is just about as versatile as you can get! 

Coach is alllll over this silver/tan combo (the top 3 are Coach). I'm especially smitten with the Rebecca Minkoff wedges (#4) but even the sale price is too much for me to spend...

We're starting to move tonight! I can hardly wait to start taking things over to the new place and see the transformation from empty to homey!
