Just crushin’ on some coral…

Society Social cocktail table (um, this is amazing)
Soludos Dali espadrilles (just got these and am in love)
This coral leopard lumbar pillow most definitely needs a shout out, too. Because it’s pretty much perfect.

This Saloni Bibi shirtdress practically jumped off the page at me. It’s the perfect pairing of vibrant color and classic, flattering silhouette. Don’t you think?

All classic investments with a little fun thrown in (hello crocheted amigurumi doll keychain!). But back to that shirtdress. Isn’t it great?

As much as I love a summer dress, I probably wear shorts more often when it’s really hot outside. They’re just so quick to throw on, and nothing is easier or more versatile than denim cutoffs. I own the AG relaxed cutoff shorts (top left) and freaking love them. They hug in all the right places and fit nice and comfortably. I’ve spent a lot of time looking at cutoffs and have narrowed down my summer favorites to these 9.

Keep in mind that you may not want your jean shorts to be really tight. I went up a size.

I have your 4th of July dessert right here, y’all. It’s my Granny’s apple pie recipe and it just doesn’t get any more American than that. It’s so easy to toss together that it’s a no brainer. I pulled it from the oven and invited a couple of girlfriends over to help me dig in. I recommend you do the same.
Wearing:
Steven Alan stripe dress (I found one size 8 left on sale available here, as well)
This American flag afghan was crocheted years ago by my great grandmother. A family heirloom that I’m so honored to have in my possession. Isn’t it beautiful?
Granny’s Apple Pie
 
 
6 apples
2 pie crusts
1 cup of sugar
cinnamon to taste
butter
Peel and slice apples (granny shreds hers).
Add sugar and cinnamon (to taste). Could add nutmeg, too.
Press bottom pie crust into your pie pan.
Pour apple mixture into pie crust.
Put dabs of butter on top (I used about 3/4 a stick).
Cut remaining pie crust into strips, lay them over pie starting in middle & alternating.
Trim excess pie dough from the outer edges.
Bake at 350 for about 1 hour.
*Granny’s note: Have everything ready before you peel your apples. They will turn black (won’t hurt them but won’t be as pretty).
