T-shirts serve a great purpose. They’re functional, cozy and are great for layering. But rarely do I find a tee that I’d also wear to work and not feel like it’s casual Friday (and even then its best to top it with a blazer or cardigan). I first spied this shirt on Madewell’s web site months ago but since we don’t have a Madewell here, I’m not familiar enough with its sizing and it was a bit more than I wanted to spend, so sadly I passed. The style god’s must have been watching because during my trip to NYC last month, I spotted this shirt on sale! It was love at first sight. The small fit perfectly so I snatched it up immediately – and got one for Kim, too, who is styling it today on her blog, too! I love her glammed up version with those hot heels. She keeps reminding me I need a perfect trench.
The pattern mixing on this shirt is perfect. Wear it with white, with boyfriend denim, with casual chino shorts or go dressier with a colored skirt or pants to the office. Add great accessories to pull out the hues – for example, I almost opted for a chunky green necklace but went more neutral so it wasn’t too matchy-matchy with this this clutch.

Grill marks fully make food taste better. Who’s with me? Paninis, check. Burgers, check. Veggies, check. All better grilled! So in the first in a three-part series with Frigidaire Professional – a brand new line of sleek countertop appliances — I’m thrilled to share with you how I rocked a little panini party thanks to its new 5-in-one-griddle that has transformed our dinners the past two weeks. Next week, can’t wait to show you what I’m cooking up in the brand’s convection oven, and then the week after? Giveaway time!
For a recent dinner, we made two paninis, and then split them, and I seriously debated a little brie + strawberries, and/or strawberries + nutella dessert panini. Might make one for a sweet Mother’s Day treat this weekend!
Panini #1: Turkey, Figs, Apples + Brie
Ingredients: thick multi-grain bread // fresh-sliced turkey // slices of brie // green apples // fig spread
As the temperatures rise, good beauty products are worth their weight in gold. Make my skin look matte (yet glowing) even when I’m feeling shiny and sweaty, or keep my fizzy hair at bay when humidity is out of control, and I’m yours forever. So when it came time to find tried and true products, we enlisted 13 amazingly talented + gorgeous bloggers — who often spend their time on both sides of the camera — and, as you can see below, they had no shortage of great tips and product recs for the average gal. Check out their favorite products and tips to beat the heat each summer!
There is a fine line between dewy and greasy skin. This may seem a bit pricey for a primer, but I have never used anything that works better for helping my makeup stay-put in the most humid temperatures. I discovered it when we lived in North Carolina and even during the sweltering August heat, I was shine-free all-day long!
I never use this on my lips, but I always use it on my cheeks. Originally it was created for a dancer in the 1970s so it’s made for being active and won’t come off like other blush when you’re outside in the heat!
product:one love organics skin savior balm
I LOVE the savior balm. I use it every single day – and a little goes a long way. You can do lots of different things with it but I mainly use it for moisturizing – and taming some of those little fly away hairs!
If TAGG can be any sort of guide, it’s sharing with you critical information. Like how fun you are at a party, car trip or wedding when you know all of the lyrics to a fun 80′s or 90′s song. No need to know every song – that can get intense, if you know what I mean — but we’re all about busting out a few jams. A personal favorite? Whoomp, There it is by Tag Team. Yeah, I’m comin’ straight at ya, when I sing (ok, kind of awfully semi-mumble!) all of the lyrics. I definitely don’t wrap as fast as they do, but I have fond, err, awkward memories of hitting fast forward and rewind maybe more than once or twice to get these lyrics down, and I have to admit, I’m pretty proud of my talent! Even if I’m in the car by myself and this song comes out… watch out. It’s a dance party up in here! What’s your favorite must-know lyrics?? {ps: how great is watching this video?}
Party people
Yeah Tag Team music comin’ straight atacha
That’s me DC the Brain Supreme
And my man Steve Roll’n
We’re kicking the flow we’re kickin’
And it goes a little somethin’ like this
Tag Team back again check it top
Wreck it – let’s begin
Party people let me hear some noise
DC’s in the house jump jump and rejoice
There’s a party over here
a party over there
Wave your hands in the air
Shake the deriere
These three words mean you’re gettin’ busy
Whoomp there it is
whoomp there it is
