Sipping on Spindrift

I'm so excited to share something I've been working on for quite a while now. I'm not a huge drinker and sometimes finding cocktails I like can be tough. A few months back I fell in love with   Spindrift sparkling water. It's so refreshing and it's made from all natural ingredients. That's why I'm so excited to be teaming up with my friends at Spindrift to bring you three fun cocktails you can create at home for your next barbecue or beach party!

I love that Spindrift is a local company who makes beverages from natural ingredients. That means no preservatives, no artificial flavors, and no chemicals. Plus, they are such an innovative and fun brand.

Spindrift sent me my three favorite flavors and I went to town whipping up some delicious drinks to share with all of you. Try these summer sips below and let me know your thoughts!

If you've watched any of my recent Instagram stories, you know that I've been on a rosé kick as of late. If I'm being honest, I've avoided rosé like the plague for two reasons. The first reason was that everyone was drinking it and posting about drinking it. I didn't want to fall into the "basic" bucket. The second was that I wasn't sure I was going to like it. For some reason, I imagined it tasting like watery vinegar. I had a very strange aversion to it for the longest time and wasn't really willing to budge.

Then, one random afternoon, I had a sip at a restaurant and realized it was awesome. Once I tried it, I was intrigued to learn more. The following weekend, my mom and I stopped by a local wine store to learn more about how to choose a good bottle of rosé. The expert at the store introduced me to a light, effervescent rosé that was less acidic and very refreshing. It was also made from a Pinot Noir grape, which my mom and I both love. Needless to say, I was hooked. 

Once I fell in love with rosé, I started looking for some fun pieces to wear and share and was blown away by the amount of clothing and accessories available. I've curated a few of those favorite finds to share with you above. I hope you love them! 

Have a favorite rosé that I should try? Is there a must-have shirt or accessory I should check out? Leave a comment below. Salud!

Silver and Stripes

I don't typically go super preppy but this summer has been the exception. This morning's theme is silver and stripes. The shift is a thick, stretch cap sleeve style I found at the J.Crew Factory Outlet this weekend. My sandals are also from JCF. My necklace is the "Knotshine" necklace from Madewell. This summer, I took the time to find some key jewelry and sandals that I knew I could mix and match to make some really fun outfits.

Comfy Chic from Roolee

One of the hardest things to find is a comfy dress that you can wear to the office and out with friends. This dress from Roolee Boutique is one of them. Not only is it super soft and roomy, but it has pockets... and we all know how much I love pockets. I'm excited to share some other favorite finds I purchased from Roolee on Instagram and here on the blog. So stay tuned for more!
