Guest Post: Swirls of Happy lusting Free People

Hello to all the Eat, Love, Style readers!  Brittany here from Swirls of Happy.  I am guest posting today for Jackie while she is on vacation and I couldn't be more excited!  I love the Lusting series of posts that Jackie writes. I always get excited to see what makes it on her list to swoon over!  With that being said, I'm going to be posting today what I am lusting on this week. Two words: Free People.


Let's get serious....when am I NOT lusting for Free People!  They have so many beautiful clothes, and I love the boho chic, and care free vintage vibe that free people evokes.  From the stacked bracelets (I am most definitely a stacked and layered jewelry gal), to the arrowhead pendants and the awesome leather fringe bags, Free People is totally drool worthy and positively something to lust for.  Enjoy your day everyone!

Guest Post: Delighted Momma's Crafty DIY

Hello readers of Eat Love & Style! I am Lindsay from Delighted Momma!

I LOVE Jackie's blog and and so excited to be here! Today I am going to show you how to take old bangles and spruce them up.

I have TONS of cheapy silver bangles that I have acquired. I mean really... how many silver bracelets can one girl own?...A LOT according to my jewelry drawer. So I decided to spruce some of them up!

What you need:

• Scissors
• Hemp cords (as many colors as you like)
• An old bangle

Pick a color you want to start with. Tie a TIGHT double knot around the bracelet. Start wrapping the hemp cord around the bracelet. Tuck the strand from the knot (second picture) on the inside as you wrap.

When you are ready to add your next color, tie a tight double knot next to were you left off with the previous color. Wrap like you did with the first color. Keep the other hemp string tucked behind.

Alternate the colors as much or little as you like....tucking the
previous color as you go

When you reach the end, double knot the cord and cut the loose end.

Since you cant have just ONE bangle..I made two :)

Hope you all enjoyed the little tutorial. Thanks again Jackie for having me!



Guest Post: Blog Redhead's Tasty Tuesday

Hello, dear readers of Eat.Love.&Style! I’m Jamie of blogRedhead (link: http://www.blogredhead.blogspot.com/); when Jackie asked me to guest blog for her I jumped at the occasion because she runs a staggering blog! In Jackie’s blog, she features delicious food, promotes and shares stories of love, and shows off her impeccable style. I wanted to do her blog justice and give you all a fun and pretty recipe I’ve been desperately wanting to try: Lavender Lemonade! I’m not much of a cook, well if truth be told, I don’t ever cook so the directions and ingredients to this recipe is an easy and fast one:

source- oprah, innbrooklyn

Servings: Makes about 16 servings

Ingredients

3 cups sugar

7 sprigs lavender (stems and buds), plus additional for garnish*

2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 12 lemons)

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 5 limes)

Directions:

In a large saucepan, bring one gallon of water and the sugar to a boil. Remove from heat; add 7 lavender sprigs and lemon and lime juices. Cool to room temperature, strain, and chill. Serve on ice, with additional lavender for garnish.

* If unavailable, substitute fresh basil or lemon thyme.

Please send us both messages once you’ve tried this! Or if you have already tried this, message us anyway and let us in on your thoughts! :) In addition to this recipe, I wanted to call attention to mine and Jackie’s love for fashion/thrifting. I wrote a short post on the fundamentals of thrift shopping here (link: http://blogredhead.blogspot.com/2011/06/j-murder.html). I’ve been collecting and thrifting since I was 15 years old and I learned the hard way how to thrift wisely.

To Jackie’s sweet and dyed-in-the-wool readers, I hope I get to know you all, too but most importantly, I hope you enjoyed this post. Aren’t we all jealous we’re not on vacation with her too?

xo, jamie
