Eye Candy of The Week

{This outfit makes me want to take a plane to Italy and roam the streets of Milan - OBSESSED!}

Happy Friday! This was an odd work week due to the mid - week holiday. I'm so ready to indulge in the weekend. Tonight we are going to one of my favorite Cuban restaurants to celebrate my birthday. Bring on the mojitos! Have a great weekend! XX

Forever 21 top and jeans, Marshall's shoes, necklace from Pakistan, Mandee's bangles, Fossil watch, hamsa and arrow bracelets from Philly, vintage sunnies

This is the most comfy top ever.  Especially when the temperature is pushing 100 degrees!  Stay cool, people!

Red, White, and Blue Pie Pops

I've been wanting to experiment with other variations of desserts on a stick besides the cakepop.  Enter pie pops!  I was inspired by this recipe, but made it my own with the use of store bought pie dough, the addition of fresh blueberries and strawberries and of course some wooden popsicle sticks.  These mini pies make for the perfect 4th of July treat. Not only will they add a festive touch to any Independence Day get-together, but they are simple to prepare and extremely delicious.

Scenes From The Weekend

{My Creative Juices tote was perfect for carrying all of my summer time essentials}

This weekend was super hot.  The only way to spend it was poolside.  That's exactly what I did.  Here is a little sneak peek into my weekend...

Happy Friday, guys!  Don't really have anything planned this weekend.  Hoping to spend some time poolside, relaxing with a cocktail and some magazines.  Have a great weekend!

Video: Weekend Getaway

As promised here is a little video re-cap of our mini vacay.  I think we may have to make another trip out to Long Island before the end of the summer.

Filmed and edited by the hubster.  I really love that guy!  Check out his blog here. 

Coconut Sorbet

 We had this really delicious coconut sorbet during our weekend getaway.  I was left craving it so I came up with a recipe and made my own version.  All I used was a can of cream of coconut and a package of frozen grated coconut. 

Directions are as follows:

Chop the frozen grated coconut to about the size of ice cubes.

Add the cream of coconut and chopped frozen grated coconut to a blender and blend until thouroughly mixed.

Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and fill with coconut mixture.

Pop into the freezer and stir every half our for about 3 - 4 hours. 

Serve and indulge!
