Hope you have had a great week!
This week we made our first pesto. It is crazy that the summer is starting to wind down, and our basil finally grew enough to make pesto. I am sharing the recipe along with five of my favorite summer recipes below.
I am also sharing the most popular items of the week and my daily finds and deals.
I also spent some time this week looking into fall trends. One thing I researched was jean trends. One source said skinny jeans are out, another source said skinny jeans are classic and will always be on trend, and another source said skinny jeans are
back in style (wait, when did they go out of style for long enough to now be "back in style"). All I know is I love all the new jean trends - straight, cuffed, crop flare, girlfriend, mom, 90s style, Levi's - but skinny jeans will always be a favorite of mine. So, with all my research, I am sharing five fall trends to try this fall.
Lastly, I am sharing the most popular pin I have had on
Pinterest this week. Fall is in the air... and I am getting ready for fall clothes. I still love the warm weather and being outside - but I look forward to the changing leaves and sweaters. And, that reminds - what about over the knee boots - are they still going to be in style this fall. I've read they are being replaced by
knee high and
slouchy boots. But, I love my OTK boots - and don't want that style to go away - just yet.
