Sophisicated Pink Lace and Trousers

What's your favourite colour to wear? It's no secret I am more than partial to blush pink and this outfit does a fine job to emphasising that. Last weekend when we had a stint of warm weather I couldn't help but get dressed up for just a casual date night. We just went to a local Italian eatery but forgoing the boots and a large coat felt so nice for a change! I am so over the cold, wet weather we've been having since, and I can't wait to get back into these trousers. They're from RW & CO and are so comfortable! I love that they can transition me from the office to the weekend. I have never been one to get the same item in a different colour, but I had to get a black pair, too! Both pairs of pants have turned into spring staple pieces and I have not looked back on my decision. When you find something that works you just need to go with it, right? In the accessory department, my vintage Chanel seemed like the only bag that would do for this level of sophisticated dressing.

Coconut Water Watermelon Spritzer

Watermelon. The sweetest, most divine creation on planet Earth. Am I right!? So fresh, so summery, so juicy. The minute the weather starts getting warmer I am craving all things watermelon! I probably eat it one way or another every day in the summer. I can't get enough, and why should I? It may be over 90% water, but it's still packed with nutrients! It has more lycopene than tomatoes, which is an essential antioxidant that fights diseases and even prevents cancer. Watermelon is known to reduce soreness, bloating and swelling, and since it's mostly water, it hydrates you to the max! How could you not love it? So, let's make sure you're getting all that lyco (I shorten everything, didn't you know?!), and enjoy the vitamin-packed fruit-- juice it, eat as a snack, add it to your salad-- the possibilities are endless.

When Thirsty Buddha came out wth their Sparkling Coconut Water with Watermelon I knew it would make the perfect electrolyte-packed sip for summer. Coconut water is amazing for hydration, and coconuts protect the heart, fighting disease and inflammation. Try making this easy drink at home for a super simple, refreshing mocktail, or spice it up as a summer cocktail! Perfect for all your summer entertaining needs!

Recipe (makes 2 servings):

Ingredients:
1-2 cups watermelon chunks
4 finger piece of cucumber
1/4 cup mint leaves
juice of 1 lime

1 can of Thirsty Buddha Sparkling Coconut Water with Watermelon

Directions:
1. Place watermelon, cucumber, mint leaves and lime juice in a blender and blend on high until combined.
2. Fill two glasses half way with the watermelon juice.
3. Top off with Thirsty Buddha Sparkling Coconut Water with Watermelon

** If you find your watermelon juice blend too chunky you could always strain it through a cheesecloth.

Pink Stripe Bell Sleeve

I did it again. Don't judge me. I added another bell sleeved top to my collection! Can anyone get a handle on this addiction!? Aside from the fact that it makes reaching across tables, doing dishes and putting on coats kinda annoying, I am still hooked. I actually scored this pink blouse at Winners (don't worry I linked tons of similar options below) and didn't even bother trying it on. As soon as I brought it home I knew I had to pair it with my DIY pillowcase clutch. I love how the soft pastel colours pair together and how the two patterns complement one another. Floral and stripes, stripes and florals... aren't the just the perfect pair! Throw in some white denim and a pair of comfy, but totally chic leather kitten heels and you officially spring ready! 

Are you still loving the bell sleeves, or are you sick of them yet?!
