Summery lime, corn, avocado, and tomato "dip"

We had most of my family up to our new place in Eagle, Nebraska for Mother's Day.  I'll do another post on that at some point.  I had fun using all of my china.  I decided to make my favorite summer "dip" as an appetizer.  It's really not a dip most people are used to. There is no ranch dressing involved.  It is just frozen sweet corn, grape tomatoes cut in half, a rip avocado cut in small pieces, and lime juice.  I think it is also very good with some cilantro in it.  This cilantro was harvested from my garden! It's so great being able to go outside and grab what I need.    The "dip" is simple but SO tasty with some tortilla chips.

Electric Blue

Here's another outfit featuring the owl necklace! I bought this style shirt in two different colours because it was pretty cheap and I think it's a nice shape (as well as comfy!). I saw Dark Shadows on Monday night with the girls. It wasn't great and to be honest I think Tim Burton might be losing his touch! Johnny Depp does a good job being 'creepy sexy' again though :D

Fabulous Friday

Once again, it is time to play "Give it a Miss, Give it a Go or Give it to Me" where I'll post pics of celeb outfits and you can tell me whether you wouldn't wear it (give it a miss), like it and might wear it (give it a go) or love it and want it (give it to me). 

 Here is this week's contender...Elizabeth Banks! All pics taken from Go Fug Yourself and you should check out that site too for some very witty stuff!

So what do you think?

Owl Make a Statement

So I know that some people think you should never wear black and brown together...also wearing black and  navy blue..but I often pair black with both those colours. This is a knit dress I got in Barcelona quite a few years ago. It's from H&M and does have a nice pattern and flared sleeves though you can't really see them in these pics (sorry!). I paired it with a new piece of jewellery from A/wear...a brown and gold owl statement necklace which can be found here! I was going to remove the tassel because I'm not really a fan of them but I'm kinda liking it with this particular piece so maybe it will stay.

Pop of yellow

I apologize for cutting my head off! Picasa is not being cooperative right now.  I love the metal studs on this dress.  I added an Antonio Melani short jacket to the dress, and some Nine West metal studded patent leather shoes.

Preppy Plaid

The other day I layered a J. Crew silk ruffled cami under a plaid dress.  I added tights because it was a bit chilly.  These shoes are a new purchase via ebay.  They are "Sofft" brand patent leather.  I love the little bow on them.  I had fun with pearl accessories on this preppy day.  I double wrapped a long strand of J. Crew pearls and wore the matching bracelet.  I purchased both on ebay.  J. Crew items are much cheaper that way!

Windy days

So sorry for the lack of posts on my end! Life has been a bit crazy since we moved.  We are still in the process of getting all of our stuff moved to our new house.  Our new place is outside of Lincoln, Nebraska.  Our town is Eagle.   We are still in a "neighborhood" there is just a bit more space between the houses.  Our house backs up to farmland and a pond, as you can see a bit in the background of these pics.

I wore a black Banana Republic dress with a Jones NY tweed blazer, grey Vera Wang tights and light pink pumps with bows!  For accessories I added a Premier Jewelry glass necklace.
