Caprese Salad
Sometimes, like last night, all I wanted to eat was a big fresh bowl of caprese salad. Tomatoes, mozzaralla, basil and olive oil. Can it get any simpler or more beautiful?

Let me know what you have questions about and I’ll do my best investigative journalism for ya!
1. Cold Shoulder Dress $118 $50
This swingy striped! cold shoulder dress is perfect for daytime or evenings out. Â Love the simplicity of it and the drapey fabric. Â Such a steal at right under $50! Â For a daytime look, you could wear it with the #10 sandals (they have lots of colors) & for evening, these black open toe heeled sandals would be great.
2.  Statement Ring $50 $20
Show off your summer mani with this gorgeous, chic statement ring! I like to wear it on my first or middle finger on my right hand with a bold bracelet.
3. Â Crystal & Enamel Hinged Bangle $48 $41Â
This simple bangle bracelet is the perfect layering piece to your watch or with a stack of other bracelets, or worn simply alone.
4. Blue Maxi Dress $52 $39
I’m sure you’ve heard me rave about this maxi dress before. Â Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and it’s really flattering and comfortable. Â It’s on sale under $40! Â I wear XS.
5. Peacock Iphone Case $50 $25

6. Zella High Waist Crop Leggings $65 $43
High waist leggings will be your BFF, I swear! Â They keep you all nice and tucked in and make you feel great while working out. Â Zella quality is always superb, and this pair comes in three colors with criss-cross detail at the calf. Â They run TTS, I wear size XS.
7. Z 6 Ruched Tee $32 $16
Although I normally wear a tank to workout, this Zella tee is my go-to when I want a t-shirt. Â The seams in the shirt are perfectly placed to help the illusion of a smaller waist and I like the cut of the sleeves that don’t irritate me when I’m working out.

This crossbody bag is the prettiest light and navy blue combo. Â It’s also a good size, so it will hold all your necessities and then some.

10. GiGi Sandals $60 $42
I have the older version of these sandals and they are really good! They come in tons of colors and the “beige leather” has a snakeskin pattern that goes with everything. Â Sam Edelman makes quality shoes that last, so I highly recommend them!

Ever since our trip to Italy several years back, this has become my all time favorite salad. And, since buffalo mozzarella isn't made with cow's millk I can still eat it.
I LOVE caprese salad. I eat it by the bucketful during the summer. So good and so good for you!
Oh, this looks so yummy! It is a pretty salad and we still have some fresh basil growing in our garden.
My favorite salad! It is also amazing with grilled peaches & a bit of baby arugula!
