All Together Now

We haven't looked at rings in a long time. And how about something fun, something blingy, something out of the norm. A cluster ring. A cluster ring is a mutli-stone, multi-fabulous accessory that you can dress up or down.

Nordstrom, Kate Spade Crystal Fiesta Ring, $78

What did I tell you about the multi-fabulous? Hello gorgeous.

There are lots of ways to get the multi-stone look. You can do the stackable ring option, the big 'ol cocktail ring or the cluster ring!

Shorty Get Loose

Hey there lovebugs,
Peplums are one of my favorite trends of recent. I think they're fun, quirky, and so easy for work or play. Peplums tend to be quite fitted with a kick of flare. Today we're looking at a more relaxed version. An oversized peplum.

Anthropologie, Emilia Peplum Top, $68

Relaxed but still pretty. I can work with that.

Urban Outfitters, Pins and Needles Knit Chiffon Top, $44

This shirt would look frumpy except the chiffon makes it cool.

Asos, Oversized Peplum Top in Acid Wash, $30

I love this top. It's so effortless. I would just layer on the girly and blingy accessories.

Forever 21, Georgette Peplum Top, $17

This beautiful top also comes in purple. The simple pleat keeps everything in line.

Peplums are still all the rage but they don't always have to be so prim and proper. Try something out of the box, a little cooler, a little more effortless. Get loose.

Be fabulous today!

All In: First Day

Happy July lovebugs! Today is a special day for me because it's my first day at a new job. So I thought what better way to continue our all in for $100 theme posts than with a first day outfit. Now offices really very with dress code, and for mine it's business casual and even a bit more relaxed for summer. That's what we'll focus on today.

Happy Friday lovebugs! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Here are my favorite recipes this week.

Limoncello Gin Cocktail

c/o The Kitchn

Ingredients

1 ounce Limoncello
1 ounce gin
4 ounces club soda
Lots of ice
Lemon peel, for garnish

Directions

Fill a tall glass with ice and add the Limoncello and gin. Top with the club soda and stir. Garnish and Enjoy.

Skinny Poolside Dip

c/o Buns in My Oven

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 jalapeno, seeded, finely diced (double it up or leave in seeds if you want more spice)
1 small can black olives, finely diced
15 ounce can corn, drained
1 packet ranch seasoning

Directions

Dump everything into a bowl and start stirring it together. As the vegetables start to release a little of their water, the mixture will come together much easier. Continue stirring until well combined.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge, covered, for up to 24 hours. The longer the dip sets, the more water the vegetables will release.
Serve with crackers or chips.
