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.

I love pesto! I've never made my own, I always buy a jar, homemade is always better though!I wish fall was in the air here but not yet. We are still being issued heat advisories with feels like temps in the 100's. Oh well, a girl can dream!

I read an article last year claiming that OTK boots were heading out and slouchy boots were in, but I don't think it quite panned out that way. I think OTK boots are going to stick around for awhile, at least in blogger/Insta land! They just add a fun dose of sexiness to a look (even an all-covered-up fall/winter outfit) that other shoes can't!
ReplyDeleteI really want to add the snakeskin print into my wardrobe this year.

I didn't realize skinny jeans ever went out either! I think they're a classic. I really want a pair of crop flares for fall. Your blueberry salad looks so good! I just pinned your salad post!

I have not made pesto in a long while! I have a strawberry spinach salad that I really enjoy but I may have to try your salad too!
