Oh so minty fresh & perfect for summer.. I love the eddie flats in the leather. They're super comfy. But, I can only dream about these bad boys for now. {sigh}

{hah} how not to be a dick when you grow up

I wish this book were real & I can only imagine what the contents of this book would contain. But, if it were real & I ever had a little boy, I would read this to him every night, so maybe one day he won't turn out to be such a dick. {sigh}

{loves + foodie} happy birthday, stephanie! + searsucker

Yay! June is here, which means summer's here. {even though since being adult requires working & not at the beach}. But, this weekend was filled with spending time with my favorite people + good food. Two things I really love. 

Had the chance of going to Searsucker for the first time. I was sort of hesitant on the food because I have never been & I have only been to Brian Malarkey's restaurant, Burlap, & I was thoroughly disappointed at the dinner I have had there {the brunch is pretty good though}. So, I went in with little expectations & hoping not be disappointed. But, I was not!

  bone marrow + shisito peppers {so yummy!} + diver scallops on a bed of corn beef

Also, tried their short ribs too & it was so moist & perfect. 

I would have to say I was not disappointed one bit! Well, I take that back there strawberry tart was a little bit of a letdown, but it was probably because of the basil marscapone. But, everything else, pretty much a winner!

{foodie} watermelon salad

I was browsing pinterest last week & stumbled upon a watermelon salad recipe. It looked so refreshing & delicious I had to pin it. I have this addiction with pinterest {as I'm sure all of us do!}, but I pin & pin like crazy & pinning is really as far as it goes. I have yet to follow through with any of the things I pin {hah}. But, I could not get this salad out of my mind, so I HAD to make it. I made my way to the grocery store & bought all the ingredients. 

ingredients:

+ watermelon {i just bought the pre-packed kind cus I don't know how to cut a watermelon + I was just too lazy}

+ feta cheese

+ serrano chile

+ olive oil

+ shallots

+ lime

+ cilantro {the recipe calls for this,  but I completely forgot to buy it, always forget something}

& here's the finished product:

The presentation does not look so great, but I could not wait to try it so I just tossed it all together. {I promise, it tastes good though} It had a nice little kick to it with the serrano chile + the lime {oh man, it was so good!} A perfect summer snack. & the next time I make it, I will definitely make it look a little more appetizing. Try it. Promise you will love it.

I love the smell of anthropologie, something about the smell in the store I love. So, I was in there the other day & was smell candles & I fell in love with santiago huckleberry candle. The smell is amazing! It's sweet & spicy with a hint of vanilla & sugar cane. {yum} I seriously cannot stop smelling it. & not to mention it comes in an awesome glass jar that matches my decor. My bedroom smells like anthro now & I love it!
