so i seriously have the best brother in the world. he came to nashville on his day off friday and trimmed our bushes (that were really a jungle) in the heat! all out of the goodness of his heart! i did cook him something for supper i thought he would enjoy, BBQ chicken cornbread pie (courtesy of she wears many hats) with watermelon and treated him to las paletas, the amazing popsicle place a few steps from my back door (dangerous), for dessert! i got the hot chocolate with chili and what an interesting flavor! it was super yummy though! phillip got the strawberry banana pineapple flavor which was good too! i really appreciate everything he does for me! he certainly gets the award for the best big brother in the world and i don't know what i would do without him!
yesterday i went home for the day to hang out with my mama! she had surgery last week so has been at home all week and i thought she may want a fresh face! she is recovering quite well and we are already having trouble getting her to sit still (wonder where i get it from?!). i spent the day with her and cooked them some pasta with bolognese sauce courtesy of skinnytaste and we finished the meal off with some delicious homemade peppermint ice cream! i may be boring but just spending the day at home with my parents and cooking for them is one of my favorite things to do!
i mentioned a few days ago about LEONA's upcoming fall collection and how fabulous it is. lauren leonard, the designer, has pinned a few items as a preview on pinterest that i happen to have seen the samples of and they are amazing. i love the leopard print, hand-drawn by lauren herself, and all the deep, jewel-toned colors! there are also some other great prints that will be revealed later that i love as well! i hope to see them hanging in my closet this fall! every piece transitions well from fall to winter and all can be worn to suit a variety of needs and styles! LEONA is also debuting a new label this fall and it is so chic, just like the brand! below are just some of my very favorites from the fall collection! the pre-fall items should be in store in july so come shop with me before i head back to knoxville!
