Pool Day

As the weather finally starts to warm up I can't help but dream about spending a whole day lounging pool side. Summer is the perfect opportunity to unwind by the pool with a little happy hour and good friends. I can hardly wait for pool season to official begin.

Could anything be better than afternoon spent in an inner tube?

Please transport me here. I could spend weeks at this pool.

The Recipe:


Ingredients

• 3/4 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup gin
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons creme de cassis
• 2 pineapple wedges (for garnish)

Directions

1. In a pitcher, mix together pineapple juice, gin, and lemon juice. Divide between 2 tall (Collins) glasses. Pour 1 teaspoon creme de cassis in the center of each glass; do not stir. Carefully fill glasses with ice cubes, and garnish each with a pineapple wedge.

Let the Races Begin!

It's Derby day and that means big hats, preppy style, mint juleps and the best two minutes of sports! What could be more fun than throwing your own derby party? Allow all your guests to rock the big hats we all drool over and bet on their favorite horse. I love the iconic style we see every year at the derby from the spring dresses to the bow ties.

 Flowers are always a great option to add some cheer and what mom doesn't love them!

I personally do not think you can give a better gift than a thoughtful card. Let your mom know all the reasons you love her with an adorable card like this one .

I adore this bracelet from Kate Spade. I think every daughter should have one to always remember the lessons our mothers have taught us. Get yours here
