What a week — amiright? It was one of those “I need 3 coffees, 6 puppies and like 12 million dollars” kind of weeks. In any case, I decided to start something new on the blog — a weekly recap. Although that term gives me flashbacks of retail days where I had to write the successes and opportunities of the previous week to let our District Manager know why we were so amazing or so terrible the last 7 days, I plan to make this a little more fun. Although I love to write, there were days where I just wanted to say “It is what it is.” and click send.
So, this is going to be similar in that I reflect on the last week — if there’s anything worth sharing I will add it here — but I’m really just rounding up everything that happened in case you’ve missed it. Want to see other things in this recap? Let me know in the comments below.
best sellers
Racer-back Bodysuit: this piece has been a staple in my summer wardrobe. It’s also one of my 6 must have transition pieces for fall.
Brown Leather Apple Watch Band: this is really the only band that I use unless I’m working out. It’s simple and classic and makes the watch feel much less “techy”.
Mule Slides: currently my go-to shoes. They go with everything and they are the perfect mix of sandal and shoe. Talk about a great transition piece.
Lace Midi Dress: such a gorgeous dress! The lace detail on this is amazing and it comes in so may great colors. I wore it to a wedding and cannot even tell you how many people complimented me on it.
Dolman Sweater: the softest and most cozy sweater. I bought this last year and they brought it back over the summer in a couple new colors. Perfect wardrobe staple.

recipes we tried
Beer Can Chicken — we make this a lot but it was the first time we tried it in the oven (we typically use an infrared fryer). This is a great recipe when it’s cold or raining because the oven is going to be on for an hour and a half and it defiantly heats up the house. We paired it with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley of brussel sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli.
Doritos Taco Salad — I had never had Catalina dressing before and let me tell you I’ve been missing out! We added corn to this salad and it was so good. Also, I know they aren’t healthy but don’t skip the Doritos — they are so worth it.
Chicken Broccoli Pasta with Bacon — this is one of my favorite dishes because it has all of my favorite things. The only complaint I have is that it’s so many dishes. I love a one pan recipe and this one is not it. But it definitely doesn’t disappoint if you don’t mind a little extra work.
Lemon Chicken Romano — another amazing recipe. When I don’t want to think about what to make for dinner this chicken is a go-to. We ate it with rice and asparagus and it was bomb.
