Mixing Prints + A Dirty Diet Coke

THE CANVAS –

Shirt : H&M (love this)~ Skirt : H&M (old – different print) ~ Shoes : Zara (great alternative) ~
Fedora : Koo De Ker ~ Sunglasses : Prada ~ Purse : Louis Vuitton ~
Watch : Burberry ~ Bracelet : Kate Spade

I have been loving mixing and matching prints lately, and I think my favorite combo must be stripes and florals!
My other favorite thing right now has become a growing trend in the Utah area…and it called a Dirty Diet Coke! Yes you heard that right, and it surely is a craze right now. I actually decided to make my own, and here is the recipe. Trust me, it is a MUST try!!

Dirty Diet Coke Recipe –
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons coconut syrup
crushed ice
1/2 lime (cut the lime into quarters and use 2 quarters)
12 ounces Diet Coke
1-2 tablespoons half and half (optional – but I HIGHLY recommend or you can use some Almond Coconut Milk)
Instructions:
Pour the coconut syrup into the bottom of a 24-ounce glass. Fill it about halfway full with crushed ice. Squeeze the lime quarters over the ice and drop them into the glass so the rind is touching the ice. Pour the Diet Coke over the spent limes. If desired, add a splash of half and half. Add a straw to stir and serve. Makes 1 serving.

Check out my Dad’s awesome restored ’67 Chevy truck! He is a car lover and he picked the perfect color to paint it. The turquoise jumps off the screen.
And it turned into a perfect backdrop for my neutral outfit!

Rainbow Sherbet

THE CANVAS –

Shirt : Banana Republic (great alternative) ~ Skirt : ASOS (loving this print version)~ Heels : Boutique 9 ~
Sunglasses : Prada ~ Purse : Louis Vuitton ~ Watch : Burberry ~
Bracelet : Juicy Couture ~ Ring : Judith Jack ~ Necklace : Kate Spade (earring version)

While most little kids love Cotton Candy or Bubblegum ice cream, I always was a fan of the Rainbow Sherbet! I think I loved it because of the bright colors and fruity flavor. This skirt totally reminded me of my favorite childhood summer treat!
I love the bright stripes and fit of this skirt and it is perfect for a summer wedding or event to brighten up your outfit. Check out ASOS to see all of their wonderful skirts. I thought mine was no longer available, but you can actually find it here!
