HOMEMADE GUACAMOLE


Oh guacamole, I love you so.  I really, truly do!  My husband can vouch for this because it gets made around here at least once a week.  We always have avocados and corn chips stocked just in case the guacamole bug bites!  This is my favorite combination so far and it's based on the guacamole my dad always made.  He knows best, it starts with the garlic and lemon! 

There isn't much of a "recipe" here which you know if you've made guacamole before.  You simply mash the avocado and combine all the ingredients.  I'm usually pretty heavy handed with the tapatio because I like my guacamole to have a nice spice to it.  Add a tasty margarita and you're ready for a good time!  Do you guys have any good guacamole recipes you swear by?!  Let me know, I'd love to try them!

INGREDIENTS:
2 avocados
6 cherry tomatoes, diced
1/8 red onion diced
1 tsp garlic, diced
1 1/2 tsp lemon
salt & pepper to taste
tapatio

FLORALS FOR SPRING


Piperlime Dress // J.Crew Heels // J.Crew Chambray 

Florals for spring, it may be a cliche' but it's one that I'm OK with!  How could you not be with a pretty print like this one?!  The vibrant colors in this dress paired with the cactus backdrop make me excited for summer vacations, I'm wishing I had one planned at this point!  Whenever I have a day off I've been so drawn to maxi/midi length dresses, there is such an ease about them that simply can't be beat.  

What are the styles you've been gravitating towards lately?!

ON THE EDGE


Piperlime Jacket // F21 Tank // Madewell Flats // Madewell Bag // Piperlime Skirt

I found this outfit while perusing docs on my computer and realized it never got posted, oopsie!  These were taken a few months back but since the weather hasn't changed much it's still relevant (probably more now since it's starting to heat up elsewhere too).  I bought this skirt last year because I thought I needed a (faux) leather skirt in my closet and it turns out I was right!  I have gotten a lot more use out of it than I (or my husband for that matter) ever would have expected and I kinda love that it makes me feel a little edgy.

Do you have items in your closet like that?

LONG DAYS, SHORT TOPS


Zara Top, J.Crew Shorts, J.Crew Bracelet // Madewell Flats // UO Sweater // Selima Sunglasses

Oh crop top season, I mean is there really anything better?  Highwaisted pants, shorts, or skirts -- you choose it and then a midriff bearing top.  When the temperatures heat up and your skin is sun-kissed there is no better combination in my book.  That's why I decided to bring it out a tad bit early, but is it really ever too soon?  

FYI these shorts are the best!  Plus right now they're on sale so find out for yourself!

PRETTY PERIWINKLE


H&M Top // J.Crew Pants // J.Crew Heels // Ray-Ban Sunglasses

As far as I'm concerned, periwinkle is the color of the season.  What's yours?!
