Fashion Friday- Modcloth’s Uniquely You Campaign


I thought it was time to do a kitchen edition of Fashion Friday- since we have a cooking blog, it’s surprising that we haven’t talked about our kitchen more. Here are some of our most-loved kitchen tools, plus some recent, drool-worthy kitchen finds. Hope you enjoy it!
Check out “My Dreamhome” board on Pinterest (I think you’ll see a theme fairly quickly. Can anyone say ‘everything’s white’?? ;))

This was one of our all-time favorite kitchen purchases- it’s expensive, but so worth it. It’s used practically every day and makes everything so much easier.
I’m not sure if we’ve mentioned it before on the blog, but we use all cloth napkins at our house- we do have some paper napkins in the pantry for big parties and camping, but our everyday napkins are cloth. We started using cloth napkins about eight years ago when my mom found a handful of small cloth napkins that ended up wearing out from so much use. That was when all three of us kids were at home, eating three meals a day, and the small, square, lunch-sized napkins didn’t add much to the laundry loads. We’re not sure if they save money in the long-run, but I feel like they look so much nicer than paper napkins.
We have these napkins from World Market in the pretty blue color above, and the dark brown- they are good quality, and a really good price.
A cart dedicated solely to coffee paraphernalia? Yes please.
As you can imagine, measuring spoons and cups are in high-demand around here. We have at least four sets of each. These wooden ones are really cute and seem like they would last longer than the porcelain sets I’ve been looking at.
This article. Swoon.
Just in case my love for all white dishes isn’t clear enough from the picture above…
These plates are so cool- the price categorizes them in the “dream” category though.
We just borrowed this food vacuum sealer from a friend to seal some beef jerky and stuff for our backpacking trip. We love it so far- it seems like such a good option for storing food.
I have a problem with mugs. I’m addicted. It’s not just the fact that they hold coffee (which is a big deal in and of itself). It’s the shape, the size- the unique-ness of each one. Yeah, I know- I sound crazy- but that’s okay 🙂
These mugs from Anthropologie are so pretty- I love them.
We have a plastic, Pampered Chef batter bowl that is at least 12-15 years old. It is probably one of the most used items in our kitchen because it is just the right size and the handle and pour spout makes it so convenient. This bowl from Target is very similar to ours and seems perfect.

In case you missed it- here’s the post about our upcoming hike.
Happy Friday!
Well, we’re in full hiking mode now- every trip to the store involves a stroll down the camping aisle and we’ve been buying granola bars and other snacks to find out what we like before the trip. Alex came home last night, and today we went with him for a hike- weighted, 40+ pound packs, boots, poles- the whole shebang. 6 miles later, and we were totally feeling it. And we’re doing another hike with all of our gear on Monday morning. Whew! I’m tired just thinking about it.
Anyway, Fashion Friday is going to be pretty short this week, but here are a couple things I found this week and enjoyed:
Check out this adorable photo project- Zoey+Jasper
Yes. It’s a house. With a slide. It’s amazing.
This is so pretty and I love the print.
This looks like a great summer dress.
We found these sports bra’s at Sports Authority the other day and each bought one- they are so comfortable and perfect for our hike.
Aren’t these pretty? The color is so unusual.
I really like this.
Sunflower Spaghetti Strap Dress
I absolutely love this!! The website says it’s a jumpsuit, but I don’t think it is. Either way it’s adorable.

After today, it’s finally supposed to start to cool down- wahoooo! Things have been a bit crazy around here between the insane heat and the fires literally all over the place. Please continue to pray for those affected by the fires and for the firefighters who have been working so hard. Hope you all are staying safe.
On a less serious note, here are a few fashion related items that caught my eye and seemed perfect for super hot days like today.
I love the red embroidery on this.
Maxi dresses are the epitome of summer comfort. And this one’s pretty darn cute.
I love rompers, but so often it seems like they are strapless, which isn’t as conducive to comfort. The straps on this makes it nice. And I love the crochet.
Ahhhh– doesn’t this just look cool??
This tank top looks like one that could be worn to death all summer.
This dress is adorable and comes in a ton of cute colors.
These are amazing. So cute and probably beyond comfy.
Yep, another maxi dress- I just couldn’t resist this one.

Happy Friday!
A while back, I posted a chambray Fashion Friday, but I decided to do another denim post. I have a button down denim shirt that I absolutely love- it goes with everything! Definitely a closet staple. Here are five ways to wear a denim shirt- hope you enjoy!

City Music Dress///Whidbey Island Top///Savoy Place Earrings
Isn’t this dress adorable? I saw it on a blog called Selective Potential (pictured above) and I loved it. Check out the back of the dress- it’s so pretty! I wear my denim shirt, unbuttoned, over sundresses all the time- it’s the perfect layering piece.
Anorak Jacket///Hi-Rise Jeggings///Whidbey Island Top///Typewriter Necklace///Combat Boots
Simple, but perfect- denim shirt buttoned-up underneath a military jacket.
Jukebox Polka Dot Dress///Whidbey Island Top///Waist Belt///Seaside Earrings
This dress is so cute. And these earrings are amazing. The denim shirt would be so cute buttoned down and belted over the dress.
White Cami///Whidbey Top///Embroidered Shorts///Mint Earrings
This is a pretty typical summer outfit for me- shorts, tank top and denim shirt. Layering denim on denim can get a bit weird, but wearing two different washes helps a lot.
Delight Maxi Dress///Whidbey Island Top///Joyful Sojourn Sandal
This dress is so pretty!
