When it comes to fashion, finding brands that truly capture your style and reflect your unique personality can be quite the challenge. That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce you to two of my absolute favorites: Lover and Friends and For Love & Lemons, both available at Revolve.

Lover and Friends and For Love & Lemons are both known for their feminine designs. If you are a girlie girl like me who loves feminine pieces, you are sure to find something you love!

In the first look, I am wearing the Lazo Midi Dress by Lovers & Friends in the color blood orange. It is also available in hot pink and lilac purple. It also now comes in a mini version here.

Next up is this super adorable faux wrap Natalia Skort by For Love & Lemons! Anyone remember skorts from the 80’s? Or was it the 90’s? Either way…I am still a fan. I am obsessed with lemon printed anything so as soon as I saw this, it immediately went in my cart! There is also a matching crop top but I can’t do short AND cropped at the same time. So I paired it with this one shoulder mock turtleneck (also available in black). It will be a great staple that I can carry into the fall months with some light layering.

Lastly, I fell in love with this fun & flirty cut-out dress by Lovers & Friends. It looks like it’s two pieces but it’s really one. Amazing how that little piece of material on the side makes me comfortable enough to *almost* wear a crop top! This dress is very well made and the material is quite thick which I appreciate. I paired it with gladiator sandals (yep, they’re back) and one of my favorite sun hats.

Elevate your Easter brunch with these easy to make Easter treats! I don’t know about you guys but we are usually pretty casual on Easter and like to stay home to celebrate. My son is now twelve but he still looks forward to waking up early to see what the Easter bunny brought him. Heck, I’m 47 and still want my mom to bring me a basket!

This year, I thought I would fancy things up with a few fun finger foods. Instead of plain tea sandwiches, I used my Easter cookie cutters to cut them into bunny shapes. My mom and I had cream cheese & cucumber sandwiches when we went to High Tea at The Tea House on Los Rios in San Juan Capistrano. If you are local, I highly recommend it. But I digress. My point is, they are easy & delicious.

But what I like even more than the sandwiches, are the pink deviled eggs! I love pink anything and these turned out so pretty! Simply add a couple of drops of gel food coloring into a cup of water and let the eggs sit for about 3-5 minutes to get your desired color. FYI, you soak them after you’ve sliced them and removed the yolk. I used some of the egg yolks to make egg salad sandwiches also.

Next up are these mini Funfetti donuts! I bought a Dash mini donut maker a while back and forgot I had it to be honest. But then on a recent trip to Target, I came across a box of Funfetti cake donut mix. It comes with the glaze too. They turned out so soft & delicious.

I am also going to make everyone a little egg crate filled with Easter treats. I found the egg crates on Amazon. Such a cute alternative to a traditional basket! Thank goodness for Pinterest. I save ideas year round for all of my favorite holidays. You can follow me on Pinterest here.

Do you have any favorite fun & easy Easter treats that you make every year? I’d love to hear about them in the comments!

It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day so I thought I would share a few quick and easy St. Patty’s Day treats I’ve made recently. I’ve never made a leprechaun trap (shocker, I know) but I’ve definitely made my share of rainbow desserts. I think I’ve eaten more food coloring this month, than in all of 2022! So if you are here, just know that I am not a healthy dessert kinda gal.

First up is my rainbow cake. I bought this mini layer cake pan set a few years ago and it is the only way I like to make my cakes now! I’ve made several ombre cakes over the years but rainbow cake is by far my favorite. The trick is to use gel food coloring to achieve the super vibrant colors. It doesn’t take much either.

Next up is my version of the Shamrock Shake. I don’t love mint flavor drinks so I cheated and just used vanilla ice cream with green gel food coloring. I guess I could have used mint & chip ice cream, which I do like. But then the chips wouldn’t have matched. Ha! I dipped my mug in honey and rolled the edges with rainbow confetti sprinkles, topped with whipped cream (& sprinkles and of course), and added a licorice straw. I love getting rainbow licorice every year for all of my St. Patty’s Day treats!

You probably know by now that I LOVE making breakable hearts for every occasion. It’s just such a fun way to present someone with a little surprise. For my brother’s 40th, I made him one and put lottery tickets and chocolates inside. This one had rainbow licorice (of course!), gold chocolate coins and the cutest lucky care bear pez dispenser. You can see it here. To make your own, you can buy the entire kit here. The candy melts come in every color of the rainbow. I usually buy mine at Michael’s.

Leprechaun bark was a new one for me. My Ghirardelli dark chocolate nutella hearts (seen here), were a favorite in our household. This time I melted the dark chocolate bits on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Then I immediately topped with rainbow licorice bites, marshmallows and rainbow sour strips. Lastly, I drizzled some melted green candy bits on top. Refrigerate for ten minutes and then break into pieces. Oh, I also made some matching green candy hearts with the leftover candy melts from the drizzle. Super easy and super YUM.

It is Superbowl Sunday and since I’m not much into football, I am posting a game of “this or that” on my Instagram stories. I felt like some of my friends might need something to do while their spouse is watching the game. So I may as well post here also! I have every one of these dresses saved in my Revolve favorites. I might even already own one or two. Brownie points if you can guess which ones!

Did you know that World Nutella Day was a thing? I didn’t either. Apparently February 5th is the day to celebrate all things Nutella! This was music to my ears since I have been on a Nutella treat making kick.

Truth be told, I have never been a huge Nutella fan. But my son LOVES it. So when he asked me to make him Nutella toast recently, I bought a large jar. And then I somehow ended up making one treat after another. Here are three of my favorites:

First up are these Nutella Flower Pots. I started out thinking I would make the jelly envelopes that have gone viral. But they somehow morphed into these. Knowing my son loves Nutella, I swapped the jelly for Nutella instead.

All you need is ready-made pie crust, Nutella and some powdered sugar. Leave the pie crust out for approximately 15 minutes to bring it to room temperature. Then cut out your heart shapes and fold the bottom up and the two sides in. I brushed them with a little butter thinking that would help the small hearts stick better. It didn’t, so I used a teeny bit of Nutella (after they came out of the oven). Bake at 400 degrees for approx 12 min or until golden brown. Decorate as you wish!

Next up are these dark chocolate Nutella truffles. I came across this super cute conversation heart mold at Michael’s and had to have it. I didn’t know what I would be using it for when I bought it, but it sure came in handy. These are SUPER easy to make and take just minutes.

The first step is to melt the Ghirardelli dark chocolates. Then fill the hearts up half way and use a brush (or a butter knife) to make sure the sides are covered. Put in the refrigerator for approximately two minutes. Then add a dollop of Nutella and cover with more chocolate. Put them back in the fridge for a couple more minutes. And then TAH DAH…the best truffle you will ever taste!

Last, but not least, are these delicious heart shaped Nutella waffles. Is it terrible that I have a bit of a Dash waffle maker addiction? I currently own the original, heart shaped (for Valentine’s Day), snowflake (for Christmas) and the skull (for Halloween)! I literally have to talk myself out of getting a new one each time they come out with a different one. Speaking of…I just saw they have a bunny (for Easter) and the cutest honeycomb waffle maker too! Help!

The trick here is to make your waffle batter first. Then add a dollop of Nutella AFTER you have poured the batter onto the waffle maker. Use a toothpick to swirl the Nutella in. They are so sweet that you don’t even need syrup! This might be the only way I make my waffles in the future. They are that good!
