Gimmie What I Want // July Wish List


the dress
 How pretty is this bold floral print against a neutral colored background? I think it's just the right kind of combination for a fun and fresh summer kind of dress. And I don't really want to get ahead of myself, but this dress would kind of be perfect for fall too. Got to love a good transition piece.

the boots
I feel like my closet consists of mainly black shoes. Even if nude plays a part, black is always there. For the past few weeks I've been looking for a pair of cute cutout brown booties. I mean they would look great with everything, cutoff shorts, lace dresses, cuffed skinnies...I could go on and on.

the accessory
These bobbies have been on my radar for awhile now. I feel like I'm always finding something on the ban.do site that I need to have. I just love how playful the girl talk bobbies are...they definitely would make any casual outfit so much more fun. If you follow me on instagram then you already know that there's going to be a giveaway later this week from the ban.do shop. Be excited!

Married Makings // Tequila Crush Margarita

 About two summers ago me and Chris were really into making our own margaritas. Latley I've been craving margaritas over my usual beer and I told Chris that I wanted to start making our own drinks again this summer. Being "mixologist" together was one of my favorite summer time activities to do as a couple. We had a lot of fun coming up with drinks and finding names to go along with them. Chris was more of the brains behind this drink and it was so good. I loved the idea of freezing up Orange Crush soda to put a fun twist to a margarita on the rocks!
 Here's what you will need: Tequila, Triple Sec, Limes, Lemons, Orange Crush Ice Cubes, Orange Juice, Jigger, Shaker, and Squeezer
 Put a few cubes of ice into your mixer and add:
1 1/2 oz of tequila
1 oz of triple sec
1 oz of orange juice
 Squeeze 1/2 oz lime juice & 1/2 oz of lemon juice.
Add that to your mixer and shake up.
At this point you can add margarita salt or sugar to the rim of your glass and garnish with a slice of  lemon & lime.
Pour your drink :)
 Take your Orange Crush ice cubes and add them to your margarita.
Drink up and enjoy!!!
xoxo erica & chris

Classic Stripes for Date Night

 Top: Thrifted, Skirt: Langford Market, Heels: Lulu's
Hey everyone, I hope you all had a Happy 4th! My family threw a huge party and we spent the night at my parents' house dancing on the patio to a dj playing all of our favorite music. good times :) This is another date night outfit...seriously these nights are my favorite. I love taking some time out of the middle of the week to be just us two and forget about our hectic schedules for just awhile. Oh and dressing up is definitely a plus. I've talked about my love for stripes before but surprisingly I've never had just a simple classic stripe tee. I finally thrifted this one about a two weeks ago...it's a rotating favorite.
