Happy Friday Everyone!

Today’s post is all about summer whites, with a pop of red!  In my opinion, nothing looks fresher in the spring and summer months than crisp white.  It’s light, bright, and cool.  Add if you add a pop of color, you’ll get noticed — add red and you’ll be unforgettable.

When I found these gorgeous red suede shoes I just had to purchase them.  They’re an outfit maker.  Sure, they’re bright, which is a departure from my typical work uniform.  But, even brights can be elegant if worn in small doses.  

As you’ll likely see, the classic button- down shirt is a closet staple for me.  It’s timeless and every woman should have one in her closet — it goes with everything.  Pair it with a chunky gold necklace as I did here, or wear it alone for a true minimalist look.  

I chose a high waist pencil skirt to keep the look streamlined and professional.  The high waist is one of my favorite looks, for both skirts and trousers — it’s so feminine.  

I was also excited to add these gorgeous leather knots to my look.  They’re really beautiful, and  much like a leather tassel or fur pom, it’s a fun, simple way to add a bit of color to your look.

Versatility

Although I chose to make red the focal point here, the white button-down and pencil skirt is a wonderful canvas on which you can build a wide variety of looks.  Unbutton the top a bit, add some strappy heels, and you’re good to go for date night.  Grab a silk scarf, structured handbag, and some wedges and it’s brunch time!  Or dress it down with a leather jacket and some booties for girl’s night.  There are endless possibilities with these two staples.  

Speaking of staples, be sure to visit the blog on Sunday for a post on the four casual items every woman should have in her closet – they’re all classics, and if you don’t have one of each, you need one!  

yours, Kristin

Spring is finally here! I’m ready 💛 #goodbyew Spring is finally here! I’m ready 💛 #goodbyewinter
Looking for a quick, healthy, and satisfying break Looking for a quick, healthy, and satisfying breakfast?  Only requirement: you must love dill! 

Crack two eggs in a bowl, add a splash of milk, and whisk until fully combined.

Heat a mini skillet (I linked to a few of my favorites here) to medium heat and add a small dab of butter, coating the bottom of the pan. 

Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let cook 2-3 minutes.  Check that egg is cooked through (you may need to cover and let cook another minute or two). Gracefully (Julia Child-style), flip the egg over, then add shredded dill havarti, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt (love @maldonsalt ). Cover and let cook about one minute more (just until cheese has melted). 

Remove from pan to plate and sprinkle with fresh chopped dill. 

Serve with toast or your favorite fruit!  And if you want to add a little healthy fat to the mix, top with half an avocado.

Bon appétit! 💛

“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatev “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” 
- Philippians 4:8

It can be incredibly difficult in our post-modern culture to fill our minds with beautiful, just, and honorable things. It seems as if we’re in a race to see who can best glorify the grotesque.  Pop culture hasn’t met a boundary it isn’t willing to breach. It indulges and celebrates the darkest elements of humanity… music, movies, art, architecture … they don’t even attempt to stir your soul anymore, they’re focused on one thing, and one thing only: defiance.  Defiance against all that is good, beautiful, and true. 

One of the primary reasons I spend so much time creating beauty in our home is because I want it to be a refuge from the madness outside. I want my children to feel the goodness in this space, and to see evidence of God’s grace, creativity, and power. I want them to live everyday what the Apostle Paul commanded in his letter to the Philippians. 

Your environment and your mind are your destiny, so make them beautiful. 💛 #beautymatters

Sunday morning breakfast was the yummiest homemade Sunday morning breakfast was the yummiest homemade popovers with honey butter and strawberry jam 🍓… grab a popover pan and whip these up (so easy)! 

Preheat oven to 450F … briskly whisk 3 eggs & 1 1/2 cups whole milk in a large bowl. Then whisk in 1 1/2 cups flour & 1/2 tsp salt until all lumps are broken up and dissolved.  Mix in 2 Tbsp melted butter & 1 tsp sugar. 

Place the popover pan in the oven for 2 mins, then remove and fill each cup three-quarters full with batter. Bake for 20 mins, then reduce heat to 350F and bake for another 20 mins. Popovers should be golden brown on top. Remove from oven, turn them out of the pan (they’ll just pop right out!) and serve immediately! 

Great with whipped honey butter or preserves. If you’re looking for a good jam, @stdalfourusa is our favorite … their strawberry rhubarb rivals my grandma’s recipe 💛 #crisplittlesundaybrunch
