Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce

January 17, 2014 By Leave a Comment

I LOVE PANCAKES!!! Remember when Caroline and I went around LA to find the BEST Eggs Benedict and Blueberry Pancakes?!  Well, I have decided to try to find the BEST recipe for Blueberry Pancakes to make at home.

While I was in Nantucket, I tried out my first recipe. Monkey made the trip to Nantucket and was there to help me out. Since were were on the east coast, Monkey thought it would only be appropriate to represent… GO RED SOX!!  You can find the recipe for the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce here.

VERDICT:  The pancakes were bright, fresh, beautiful and tasty.  Everyone loved them (especially with a side of bacon)… but I am not ready to say they were my favorite!  Definitely need to test out a few more recipes.

Let me know if you know of any amazing pancake recipes I should try out!

Wedding Wednesday

January 15, 2014 By 1 Comment

I saw this wedding earlier this week on my favorite wedding blog Style Me Pretty and became totally and completely inspired. I am obsessed with polka dots. And black and white is my favorite color combination of all time. There is black and white in my room back in Georgia, the background of my phone and my computer is black and white polka dots, I have black and white polka dot pants…you get the point. This wedding had both elements in its theme and I pretty much flipped out when I saw the groom with a black and white polka dot tie and the flower girl wearing a black and white polka dot dress. I’m usually not a fan of black in weddings (aside from the suits) because sometimes it can read too dark. Even the solid black dresses of that wedding were a little too much for me. But, I think by staying mostly white with the major details and adding black in the smaller details it comes out to be light, happy, elegant, and classy! I think because of my love for polka dots and black and white I would have the most fun planning a wedding with this theme. SO, if you want to have a black and white polka dot wedding theme….pick me to help you plan it, pretty please! I’m basically on my hands and knees begging right now. That’s how much I love this theme. Any takers??? Not yet? Okay, well in the mean time I will just play around with the idea virtually…

Our Summer ’14 Top Picks for Milly & Grace

January 14, 2014 By 1 Comment

Like I said in my style report, Summer 14 is going look very fresh!  Pretty soft colors, lots of denim, white dresses, crochet, crop tops and rompers.  Check out some of my favorite looks that will hit Milly & Grace in June.

Joie #nailedit as usual.  Their summer collection was very island (yay for us!), feminine, light and flowy.  As always, they make their pieces very low maintenance, wearable and comfortable!  I admit that I don’t own a romper yet!  (Like I’ve said before, I’m a fashion prude!  Caroline calls me plain Jane.)   This might have to be my first one:

Joie This top is going to look great with cut off jean shorts for summer and then with dark denim and cowboy boots in the fall.  Joie1pickSoft Joie is actually the first line that we ever wrote for Milly & Grace!  Soft takes tried and true styles and bodies from Joie and uses more everyday fabrics – cottons vs. silks.  Can’t you just see this cute tank going to brunch at Black Eyed Susans this summer??softjoiepickI can’t get enough of Rebecca Taylor.  When I wear it, I just feel so put together.  Her collection for summer was the true Rebecca that I know and love: soft colors, feminine bodies and just the right amount of embellishments.  Here is line up of all of our picks for Summer 14! Rebecca Taylor pickMy favorite looks from RT are usually dresses but this time around it was her tops that caught my eye.  We are seeing A LOT of batik prints for summer.  How sweet is this pretty batik print tank?!  And I LOVE this crop sweatshirt with the metallic threading detail.  This is how I’m going to fill the crop trend this summer.rebecca taylor

We can always count on Splendid to make cute everyday pieces at a great bang for your buck price.  If  you are a bit nervous about trying out a new trend – like a pop of chartreuse – look to Splendid to fill that need.splendidpick

We are SO excited to be carrying Free People next season!  Boho Chic is where it is at with Free People and we’re absolutely smitten with this top!freepeopleDuring the last few hours of the last day of the show, we got really lucky and stumbled upon a booth waayy in the back corner called Miss June.  A husband and wife team from France were showing their line for the first time in the United States!  They make the most beautiful pieces that are perfect for summertime in Nantucket!  It was a perfect fit for us.  These are only 2 of many pieces that we bought from them.  This is a MUST SEE when you stop by Milly & Grace this summer! Miss JuneOk.  Hurry up Summer!!  I can’t wait to wear your cute clothes!
