PERFECT PALETTES:

Some palettes never die for me and this is one of them. I adore the combination of this rich green (with a hint of teal) and bronze together...



A kick of golden mustard or peach gives it a nice punch, and black adds a bit of drama. It's similar to this palette I put together last January - just a new evolution! Whenever I see color combinations reemerge in my life, I take note. I'm pretty sure it means they're ones I can live with for quite some time. What color combos are a constant in your life?

FOODIE FASHIONISTA: SUMMER STAPLES

Hello dear readers, Crissie here (from bug&Bear) with this week's edition of Foodie Fashionista!
S'mores are one of my very favorite summer traditions. It seems the season just isn't complete without at least a few of these tasty little treats.

Sadly, city life tends to make s'more roasting slightly tricky, so I was BEYOND thrilled to find this recipe for "Grown-Up S'mores" on the Fresh New England blog...

They look amazing, right? And while we're snacking on these homemade miracles, why not throw on a perfectly casual (yet chic!) outfit to complete the summer feel...

1. Fedora-ble Hat via ModCloth, 2. Rag & Bone, 3. Obey bag, 4. Buzz Off Bandana, 5. Asos Leopard Print Retro Sunglasses, 6. BC Footwear, 7. Shorts by Rare via Top Shop, 8. Essie Nail Polish in Mint Candy Apple and Mezmerised

It's like being at summer camp all over again... Don't forget your bug spray!!
