Spring is coming, I can feel it in the air! We are supposed to have a lovely warm weekend and I can't wait. Here are a few online things that are looking delicious right now! Have a great weekend!<br />
<br />
This <b><a href="http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/coconut-ash-banana-bar/exotic-candy-bars" target="_blank">chocolate bar</a></b>. Yes, just yes! While the flavor may not seem super appealing, it is one of the most tasty and interesting chocolate bars I've ever had.<br />
<br />
I love this <b><a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-off-the-shoulder-denim-mossimo-supply-co/-/A-51812609" target="_blank">dress</a></b>, AND it is affordable! When will it warm up for spring already?<br />
<br />
I know this is really domestic of me, but I've been eyeing <b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CDR42ZW/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ellieswonder-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00CDR42ZW&linkId=8298db80213c067fcb3c8ebb3048d7fd" target="_blank">this beauty</a> </b>for a while now. I think it would work so well right inside my front door.<br />

Lately I have seen a lot of the mint color in fashion. In fact, last weekend I just tried on a pair of mint jeans. What fun. I will be excited to see green and mint being worn this St. Patrick's Day, especially since green is my favorite color. Here are some fun items that I have picked out to help you figure out what to wear for the impending shamrock day, March 17. Enjoy!<br />

I have seen pops of hot pink around lately and can't get enough! The more I see it, the more I want to keep seeing it. Hot pink was once a little girls color, but it is quickly becoming a fun statement. I have always been a fan of pink, but now I don't have to feel ashamed about it. Bring on the pink...and make sure it is hott!<br />

At first I thought it was a holiday thing. Pretty gold ornaments and dresses caught my eyes. Then the holidays passed, but I continued to look for gold. For every little pop of gold that I see, I get a little excited. It's the small things in life right?<br />

I'm loving this haircut...wonder if I could pull it off. Bangs are a special thing. You never know how they are going to act until you get them. At that point it could be too late, or it could be the best risk you've ever taken. Ya just never know until you try...</div>

Hmm, probably not, but I think I'll enjoy the outdoors in other ways. If only we all looked this good on a horse. I am usually too scared about being bucked or falling off to look graceful on a horse!<br />

I stumbled upon '10 Crosby Derek Lam' and love their stuff! The colors and patterns are to die for! I could wear it all!<br />

They have a sort of theatrical aspect to them that make them very entertaining and fun to watch. Despite that, I don't often feel like those fashions are wearable. Lacoste is a brand with a fashion show that I could wear though. I am loving all of the color blocking and cozy looks that I see in their pre-fall collection.<br />

Now there is pre-fall, and pre-spring. These new seasons are all the more reason for new fashion pieces and trends.<br />
<br />
Antonio Berardi has some interesting stuff. His pre-fall collection is very science fiction looking. I love to see that in style these days. I don't think I would wear much of this stuff, but it is great fun to look at!<br />

Most people do, in fact I think I have only met 1 person who did not like chocolate and that was because they thought they were allergic to it. How horrible!<br />

Beta 5 is a chocolate place in Vancouver, BC Canada. I have never been there, but it is definitely on my destination list. I am obsessed at looking at their website and checking in on a regular basis to see what they are up to.<br />
<br />

<br />
I am always impressed with the new and genius things that Beta 5 comes up with. How do they think of these things! I want to try each and every one of their creations to know if they taste just as good as they look. Yum!!<br />

Someone out there was creative and thought to make personal pies in a jar that are also portable. When I saw this idea I loved it! I am all about mason jars and personalized and portable things.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_HEe1SDgvutpZkQjX9a4MiumzHYyO_3WL4BhLvk5SVwXtD5XRQq9QrPQlbFR0TeAyupUE8pY3Ra-a0flS2VFIrsEXygfa5TK7lpfON32CU5mXCHzVGV_7EfIz4ixFyb4xGvUf89CrmLg/s1600/pie-blueberry-and-cherry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_HEe1SDgvutpZkQjX9a4MiumzHYyO_3WL4BhLvk5SVwXtD5XRQq9QrPQlbFR0TeAyupUE8pY3Ra-a0flS2VFIrsEXygfa5TK7lpfON32CU5mXCHzVGV_7EfIz4ixFyb4xGvUf89CrmLg/s320/pie-blueberry-and-cherry.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>
<br />
Recently we had plans to take a picnic to a nearby vineyard to hear an outdoor evening concert. I decided this would be the perfect time to make these pies because they would be portable. No one thinks to bring pie to a picnic. So I set out to make mason jar berry pies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_DsQ_il6Il48r7T4UssQLimafBb-VZN7nI-UleeWjZF1YAssGKDOQaR8CuTWwYJ_l2Up-zYhHyhKKkMeXE4yQRLQOWgr7E4npPybhkil3fraC9TDu6K56iqp9QAyXo4PpzCns6SW1D84/s1600/IMG_1570.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_DsQ_il6Il48r7T4UssQLimafBb-VZN7nI-UleeWjZF1YAssGKDOQaR8CuTWwYJ_l2Up-zYhHyhKKkMeXE4yQRLQOWgr7E4npPybhkil3fraC9TDu6K56iqp9QAyXo4PpzCns6SW1D84/s640/IMG_1570.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Little did I know how difficult these things would be to make!! Here is the <a href="http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/2011/06/20/cherry-and-blueberry-star-pies-in-jars/" target="_blank">RECIPE</a> that I used, but if you make these, I highly recommend finding a picture tutorial. I had trouble getting the crust into the jar, and then at the end with everything bubbling over the jar. It was messy!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBNFa2MSB0_Y23vbcB5xarCqWIth_GikFOZDQL8BT1KIvZUyJvCGmxEc-ZtlKJzOcBKekC2cK2YdddrK_HC2CPwu40_gp_MdlFfCfYUAKJ0d0t2zaUWixC9UiZHiHIVvAP2-ZSyvmCOTg/s1600/IMG_1576.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBNFa2MSB0_Y23vbcB5xarCqWIth_GikFOZDQL8BT1KIvZUyJvCGmxEc-ZtlKJzOcBKekC2cK2YdddrK_HC2CPwu40_gp_MdlFfCfYUAKJ0d0t2zaUWixC9UiZHiHIVvAP2-ZSyvmCOTg/s640/IMG_1576.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Despite the mess I had with these mason jar pies and the fact that they did NOT look as beautiful as I was hoping, they were delicious. And functional. I was able to put the lids on these jar pies and throw them into the cooler for our picnic. Everyone was happy and excited to be eating their own little portable pie at our vineyard concert picnic. I may just make these again.<br />

For me, August is all about heat indexes and wearing the least clothing possible. I would never be caught dead in this 'pre-fall' collection in August. Come October though, I'd be all over these styles. Especially those browns, mustards, and greens. I'm loving it!<br />

I've been seeing stripes EVERYWHERE this summer. And I love it! Stripes are so nautical and beachy. I just got back from a trip to Michigan and have to admit that I packed a lot of stripes. They match just about anything and are perfect for summer trips.<br />
<br />
I just bought the striped dress in the last picture and I love it. I promise it looks much more feminine in person than in the picture. And it is on SALE!<br />

I crave fruits and veggies. Especially when they are fresh. This summer we started a little herb garden and all of a sudden the basil has taken off! To put it to good use I decided to make a caprese salad. Tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil together are to die for! When I saw uneaten mangoes in the refrigerator I decided to incorporate them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The caprese salad alone, as a snack or side dish was amazing! I could have eaten 10 of them! We had friends coming in for the weekend, so I decided to do a spin off of my mango caprese salad and make it for a vineyard picnic. It was a huge hit!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then to use up some more basil I made another one. This time it was part of a larger meal. Not quite a 5 course meal, but a fancy meal along those lines none the less.<br />
<br />

<br />
This Mango Caprese Salad is so simple to make and tastes out of this world. Here's what I did:<br />
<br />
-Slice fresh mozzarella into rounds.<br />
-Slice chilled mango into large pieces.<br />
-Take the basil leaves off the stems.<br />
Then layer everything however you would like to serve it. Top it with sea salt and a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Enjoy! <br />

<br />
This is what Wikipedia has to say about 'Resort Wear": 'More recently, designers, store buyers, and the media are viewing
"resort wear" as a specialized year-round clothing style and fashion
season.'<br />
<br />
So really 'Resort Wear' is not so much resort anymore, but rather a year-round style. <br />

Don't get me wrong, I love a good regular conventional kitchen too. There is just something about all that stainless steel and functional equipment. I love it!<br />

We went to visit Vineyards and taste wine!<br />
<br />

This vineyard probably tops my list for Virginia vineyards so far. The drive to get there was slightly confusing though. We were definitely on a lot of back country roads.<br />
<br />

We finally saw a vineyard sign and thought we were almost there. Little did we know that was just the beginning of a very long, narrow, steep, road to the top of the mountain.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was all worth it though! The wine was fantastic and the tasting included about 15 wines, oyster crackers, AND dark chocolate. Yum! The rest of our afternoon was spent watching storms in the valley while sipping wine from our balcony perch. Nothing could have been more perfect.<br />
