Stylishly Sporty

I LOVE a soft tee. So when I found this cozy jcrew baseball tee, I had to buy it! Here is how I styled my tee so I could get away with wearing a t-shirt to dinner and still feel cute : )

This was a collab with Renee from Gimme Glamour. Here is how he styled hers and my notes on what I love about it!

I hope this post inspired you to wear your tees pretty:)

The Cutest Wallpapers

                     I just got my new laptop for high school! Naturally, the first thing I wanted to do was did was look for a cute wallpaper. I looked on a lot of different websites and saved all the ones I liked.  Of course, I also wanted to share my finds. They are from Sugar Paper, Evelyn Henson, Lilly Pulitzer, and Vineyard Vines. Here they are!

Sweet and Salty Spin on the Classic Banana Split

I love sweet things. And salty things. But a combination of them both? Oh yeah. Amazing. So, I created this sweet and salty gourmet spin on a banana split and let me tell you, it's heaven in a bowl. Bananas brulee, toasted nuts, salty pretzel- you know you want one!

What You'll Need to Make It:

• Vanilla Ice Cream. (I made my own using this recipe)
• 1/4 cup crushed nuts
• A ripe banana
• pretzels

Step One- Brulee the Banana

• Put your oven on the broil setting
• Cut the banana however you wish
• Dip the top in white or brown sugar
• Place slices on a cookie sheet
• Place on the top rack of oven 
• Broil until the sugar starts to bubble and brown (Make sure the sugar gets really brown)
• Remove from oven
• Let the slices sit for two minutes then scoop them off with a spatula

Step Two- Toast the Nuts

• Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil and salt to taste
• Add the nuts
• Cook on medium heat while stirring with a wooden spoon
• Remove from heat once the nuts get really toasty and brown and start to be fragrant. (Yum)
• Stir in crushed pretzel pieces

Step Three- Combine it all!

• Pretty self-explanatory, just assemble your sundae however you wish! Enjoy!
  The pup photo bombing... Haha!
