Strawberry Print Summer Dress

 I am seriously loving the fruit print trend this summer, as vintage fruit print pieces have always been some of my favorite to collect.  Treasures like this fruit adorned basket purse and milkglass fruit charm bracelet are just a few of my favorites.  I also LOVE the fun print + laidback cut of this new strawberry dress from Forever21, and at less than $20 (!!!!) it's a must-have for summer!  As with most pieces at Forever21, go ahead and size up on this one for the best fit!  I've linked all my outfit details as well as similar vintage pieces for you to shop above + below!

Bright + Cozy Loft Makeover

    This past week I started wrapping up the final stages of a design project I've been working on for the past couple of months for one of my favorite clients.  The install day of all the finishing touches and accessories is always my favorite because it always makes the space feel the most complete and cozy!  This was my first time tackling a loft living space at the top of the stair like this and it was definitely challenging, but I love the (almost) finished product.  The main challenge was trying to make such an open space feel cozy and comfortable, as well as figuring out the right way to arrange the furniture when you are basically missing an entire wall of the room!

Summer Strawberry Trifles with Lemon Mascarpone Cream

Summer Strawberry Trifles with Lemon Mascarpone Cream

 This super easy summer recipe combines some of my favorite ingredients: fresh strawberries, moist pound cake, and the most delicious lemon marscapone cream.  All the ingredients are amazing on their own but when layered up, the flavors and textures perfectly compliment each other!  I use a store-bought pound cake to make this recipe even easier, especially since you are going to be making the lemon marscapone cream from scratch.  I love to serve this in individual mason jars for a fun twist on the traditional trifle and a super cute, summery presentation!  It also makes it much easier to serve and transport to your party or event.

The Keeneland Paddock Dinner Series

     I can't think of a better way to kick off summer than a dinner under the stars in the Keeneland Paddock!  Thanks to Keeneland's new Paddock Dinner Series, you too can experience one of these intimate, family-style dinners right smack dab in the center of beautiful Keeneland.  I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best meals I have ever eaten in Lexington, and each course was better than the last.  The decor and ambiance was also just perfect with live music, delicious appetizers and drinks being passed, colorful tablesettings, and twinkle lights strung across the Paddock.
