Earrings For My Stupidly Sensitive Ears.

I pile on bracelets, necklaces, rings.....but my poor ears are usually stuck with the same ol' studs day in and day out. Don't get me wrong - I love my goes-with-everything gold lines and dot studs (literally bee-lined it to Steven Alan to stock up the past two times I visited LA!). My ears are stupidly sensitive, and just cant handle anything that isn't solid gold, heavy, or usually within my budget. I've tried coercing them into submission, but it usually goes something like this:

Oh, ears - you like these and only these??? Yeah, me too....also, we are going to need to rob a bank. Eyeroll.

What do you mean you have a doctor's note that says you shouldn't do any heavy lifting?? You wuss! Ok, well I guess that means these beauties are off the docket....

Yeah, ears....I know these aren't made with real gold, but look at that price tag and the sparkle! I can't walk away from those. What do you mean you'll get red and angry if I put them on? 

These little lobes are totally ruining my swagger. That's why I was ultra psyched when I came across these beautiful earrings from Marida on Uncovet. They had all the makings of my dream pair of everyday casual dangly earrings - simple, lightweight, high-quality material and affordable. I wasn't sure if they could handle gold-filled, but I had to risk it - don't think I've ever gone through the checkout process faster, haha! John calls them my "Noah's Ark earrings", but I majorly love them. And now I want moreeeee. I think I just opened up Pandora's (jewelry) box. Ahhh! Just had to share this fab new line of jewelry since I'm sure I'm not the only gal with finicky high-maintenance ears and isn't dishing about this kind of stuff what girly blogs like this are for???

Marida, my stupidly sensitive ears and my wallet thank you.

Heaven In A Jar: Key Lime Curd

Guess what, y'all?! I got a new full-time job - woohoo! Hope that sort of explains the silent streak on the blog recently, and I'll divulge more on that soon...

Anyways, so Father's Day is tomorrow and my pops is a huge fan of key lime anything - especially pie. Nothing says "I love you, Pops" like squeezing 70000000000 key limes, crunching up graham crackers and making what I discovered is quite possibly the easiest pie to make from scratch ever. We're heading to my sister's house tomorrow for a celebration and smorgasbord of deliciousness, so I'll definitely be posting the recipe if it's a winner. 

I had a bit of leftover juice after making the pie, so I decided to make key lime curd. Seriously, guys...it's like crack. SO good. Drizzle it over scones, meringues (more on that later too...can you tell I've been baking like a madwoman today?), or ice cream. I love that it only takes 4 ingredients to make, too. Easy peasy with gourmet flavors. That's my kind of recipe....click the link below for the full how-to!

The perfect summer haircut.

As I was perusing Pinterest this morning, a pic of the beautiful Hanneli popped up on my feed. At first, it was the gorgeous yellow color of the dress she wore to the CFDAs that caught my eye. Then, I saw it...THE  haircut that I have been searching high and low for. It's not quite a bob, but it's not what I'd call long hair either....a loose and layered "lob," if you will. The ends of my hair are permanent residents of split end city, so chopping some of the length off is a necessity at this point. Bummer since that seriously limits all the braided hairdos I was hoping to rock this summer, but oh well....this cut is pretty darn cute and seems fairly low maintenance.
