HERE: 17 Reasons To Cook This Weekend

I have owned one of these for a few years. So much better than delivery, and a fun dinnertime activity for friends and family. Now 50% off.

Williams Sonoma

Grilled Tomato, Fig and Prosciutto Pizza

Entertaining? impress your guests with this beautiful and very unique starter.

Half Baked Harvest

Nutri Ninja Blender

I need this, and you do, too, if you start your day with a smoothie or healthy juice. I am about to have some oral surgery, and this is just the thing to own for healthy healing. The secret is the included vac that takes out the oxygen from your fruits and veggies. Click the link to see a video. Best yet, it is marked down by $80.

Best Buy

Two Minute Green Smoothie

I have to admit that I am not much of a smoothie person. The last one I had was a complimentary starter at the fabulous Parker Palm Springs Hotel. I must admit it was yummy. And this one looks almost too pretty to eat. It's a genius recipe that you make and store in the freezer the night before. 

Half Baked Harvest

Staub 1.5-Qt. Petite French Oven

Fabulous in matte black but also available in other stylish shades.  This  French oven is perfect for cooking grains and other sumptuous sides.  It's also great for simmering jams, soups and stews. In comparison, this is well priced with free shipping. 

One Kings Lane 

Pesto & Goat Cheese Risotto

Oh my! This is one yummy looking bowl. Where's a fork?  I adore making risotto. It's a process that is so rewarding. This a "must try" for me.

BBC Good Food

KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer

My friend, Sharon, has just bought herself one, and has been putting it to good use. I have a little appliance envy, I must admit. Get this one while it's on sale!

Macy's

No Churn Minted White Chocolate Swirled Ice Cream
This is the base recipe I use whenever I make ice cream.  It never fails. It's a pretty dish and so much better than the kind that come in the cardboard containers.  I keep a loaf pan in the freezer at all times. It keeps the cream cold, and works out perfectly

Calphalon Signature Ceramic Nonstick
 Loaf Pan

Isn't this a beauty? It's said to be easy, and the KitchenAid mixer above will make it a snap.

Lobster Roll Pasta

This is the perfect Summery pasta dish. What a wonderful idea for an end of Summer celebration.

3 Ways With Milkshakes, From The Williams Sonoma Test Kitchen
Think Banana Coconut Caramel, S’mores Milkshake, and White Chocolate–Raspberry. Heaven!

Ballarini Mini Saute Pans 
Aren't these good looking? I would use these for individual servings of many things like mini fritattas or individual Mac & Cheese servings. They are on sale and can also be purchased on "easy pay." 
QVC

Roasted Summer Vegetable Mac & Cheese
Now let's face it, veggies smothered in cheese is never a bad thing is it? This recipe lightens up a classic for Summer. I think it is a great way to end the season. Serve it 
in the silver servers above.

Foodie Friday: The Best Hot Weather Meals To Make

That 70's Style

{ Via }

Today is the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock. How groovy is that? I am probably giving away my age, but I so wanted to be there. Though I was a bit too young to drive across country, I was feeling the hippie chic vibes. It was a time of political unrest and self exploration, not to mention fashion that went against the norm. I wore flowers my hair, headbands across the forehead, and fabulous fringe. This post celebrates that 70's style, and features fashion looks that are still on trend today.

Embroidered Maxi
"The fitted empire waist and deep V-neckline of this caftan-inspired maxi dress are beautifully enhanced by ornate embroidery." This maxi has an ethereal feel about it, not to mention the fab flower power of the seventies.
BCBGMAXAZRIA

Cleobella Tote
Remember macrame? It's back along with all things crocheted. The lovely lavender is also a trend for Fall. This bag plays pretty with the dress above, and is perfect for warm September days. 
Free People

Cortney Corduroy Blazer
I haven't worn corduroy in years, but this pretty piece brings it back again with new feminine details. Pretty color!
Anthropologie

Missoni Patchwork Cashmere Long Cardigan
Patchwork was big in 1970 and it is one of the top ten trends for this Fall, as well. No one does a mix and match better than Missoni. What a lush long sweater!
Nordstrom

DVF Michele Tie Waist Jumpsuit
With a giant nod to the 70s, this new print takes it's cue from the Empire State Building in NYC. Find it at DVF. And in a glam Green Trellis Print at Neiman's

Midi Skirt by Proenza Schouler
Sophisticated Tie Dye. This is much better than your average 70's variety!
Moda Operandi

Levi's Ex-Boyfriend Trucker Jacket
I would have absolutely worn this jacket, perhaps without the leggings. Anything denim stands the test of time.
Free People

Emily Wickstead Denim Midi Skirt
Didn't everyone have a denim long skirt in the seventies? This style features fabulous details like lilac stitching and a high waist. 
Net-a-Porter

Rachel Comey Lecia Poncho
I wore a poncho in the seventies, took a break for a few decades, and now it is a Fall "must have."  This style is particularly pretty.
Shopbop

8 By YOOX Corduroy 
Pants & Jacket
Step back into the seventies! What an iconic style. I am sure that I owned several pairs. Also in black, but the rust is 
so retro.
YOOX

Tory Burch Lila Patchwork Boot
More patchwork and super seventies.
Saks Fifth Avenue 

Coupe Coat & Bralette

Oh the long coats and peek-a-boo tops! This tapestry type of floral is both old and new again

Oscar De La Renta

Frame Le High Flare

70's inspired bell bottom - like. These stretch denim jeans have a dark wash with a 

dramatic flare. 

Frame Store

Spell & The Gypsy Collective

The Aurora Boho Dress in the perfect print for a seventies vibe. It's a midi with maximum

Summer Trend: Off The Shoulder

Pure Heat: A Trunk Show

{ Via: Moda Operandi }

The heat is on for so much of the country.  How do you stay cool? One way to chill out is by vacationing at a five star resort. To do so, you need a five star beach chic wardrobe.  The  "Pure Heat" Trunk Show at Moda Operandi, has everything that you need.   The words "Trunk Show" mean that you are purchasing an item, by putting down a deposit, for future delivery. In doing so, you are guaranteed to be among the first ones to scoop up the style.  You shop before it hits the stores next Winter or sells out. The fabulous fashion and accessories in this edit, will arrive in November - December, just in time for your Winter vaycay. P.S. This Trunk Show ends in two days. 
Don't miss the boat!

Fisch Ruched Strap Swimsuit

Bowing down to you if you can wear a white swimsuit! This is a simple style, but those ruched straps elevate it to the next level.

 The Cloe Cassandro Andrea Silk Maxi and the Odyssee Bandage Swimsuit are red hot! Two terrific pieces that are wonderful alone or 
worn together. 

Heads will turn if you arrive poolside with these super star styles. The Truss Printed Tote is made of leather and plastic. The Neous Thong Sandal heightens your look. And the understated Talia Collins high waisted two piece swimsuit is beyond chic.

Disco Inferno Sunglasses
I think that I might need these just for the name. Proof that it's hip to be square, right? Made by Velvet Canyon.

Dodo Bar Or
Pretty printed pieces from Dodo Bar Or will get you to the pool and back with style. Loving the feminine florals.

This look begins with Palm's Grace Ruched Swimsuit. Loving the shoulder detail! Wear the Akoia Swim Crochet Maxi over every suit, or just add a white linen shirt tied at the waist.  Don't you adore this Straw Circle Tote? To tie the entire look together, add Sheryl Lowe's (married to Rob Lowe)
Saturn Tourmaline Earrings!

Odyssee Silk Palazzo Pant
I am crazy for these pants, even though I would style them differently. Beautiful for the beach, and perfect for patio parties at home.

The Odyssee Cotton Kaftan and Velvet Canyon Sunglasses are proof that neutral can be beautiful at the beach. 

  

Mehry Mu Drum Bag

Perhaps the most chic beach bag ever. It's so luxe, carry this bag to any destination on 
land or sea. 

Wear these chic accessories with everything! 
Alameda Turquesa Sandals 
 Grazia & Marica Jeweled Bag  
Mallorca Floppy Sunhat

Cloe Casandro Top & Skirt
So good from the beach to the bistro! The fabulous fringed bag is by Nannacay.

Cloe Cassandro Midi & Scarf Sandal
The gold silk midi dress is the most expensive item in the edit, and it looks it. It's fabulous! The Alameda Turquesa Lace Up Sandals are just the shoes to wear with 
the silk midi.

Matin's Maxi is my favorite style of the edit. It is also the same dress in the opening image. Very chic in all cotton. Adriana Castro's Circle Bag adds the fun. The pedi perfect sandals by Neous come in three colors. That's an outfit.
