Why, yes I do want to see one of the PG teeny bopper movies coming out this summer.
You're welcome.

Jenny Packham
It's been a few days and I am still absolutely obsessed with Kate Middleton's look in this divine Jenny Packham gown.
Jenny Packham seems to have fans in duchesses and queen bees (or at least Queen B) alike.
Wow.

The Most Perfect Summer Cookies Ever.
I am so excited to be participating in Daphne's Recipe Swap this week!
I was drooling when I first saw the recipe for s'mores cookies here, but in reality, they were so much better than I could have imagined.
Ingredients:
11 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 ½ cups flour
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
3 regular sized Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces
1-2 packages graham crackers, broken into squares
Directions:
1. First, make a cookie dough batter.
a. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon to combine. Set aside.
b. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter with white and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
c. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixer and combine on low speed.
d. Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.
2. Put the dough in the fridge as you prep a pan by lining it with parchment paper and then as many graham crackers as will fit. I did a few little graham crackers, but mostly squares.
3. Preheat the oven at 375. After letting the dough cool for a little, (I did an hour for a batch and overnight for another, and agree--it makes no difference in cooling time) scoop it onto the graham crackers that are on the pan. You can try doing different amounts of dough to see what cookie to graham ratio you like best. I liked a lot of cookie, so used large rounded tablespoons.
4. Cook at 375 for 5-7 minutes. They will look gooey and delicious.
5. Take the cookies out and add Hershey's squares to each of the cookies. (I also tried to "clean up" any messy cookies that were creeping onto neighboring grahams.)
6. Put back in the oven and cook for 3-5 more minutes (Total 8-12 minutes depending on the gooey-ness desired.)
7. Let cool before breaking apart (or cutting) into squares. Try not to eat the entire pan.
Happy happy Friday!

Lilly Warehouse Sale
I really really really wish I was going to the Lilly warehouse sale this weekend.
Anyone lucky enough to go? And let me know if anyone picks up any extra ties or murfees you want me to take off your hands. ;)

Mexican Celebration Friday's Fancies
Today is the last weekend before the bf starts his new job at a new firm. We're guessing that may mean many more hours working, so I'm planning on having a fabulously fun and eventful weekend. This evening celebrations may begin with some perfect guacamole, a margarita (skinny girl, of course) and I would definitely be outfitted in my new Lilly obsession in my ideal world. Play along with {av} for Friday's Fancies here!

Pink & Green Swimsuits!
Now that the pools are open and beaches are becoming crowded once more, it's time to make sure to stock up on new swimsuits. I'm joining in for Trish's Pink & Green Thursday dreaming of all the bikini days ahead!
Anthropologie has sooooo many divine swimsuits. Adore this glam one piece.
This Norma Kamali screams movie star.
I love the new Vineyard Vines swimsuits!
Gingham is always a good choice.
Shoshanna perfection.
And again. Girly amazingness.
J. Crew's Casbah print is one of my all-time favorites. I want everything made in this print.
Perfectly placed polka dots.
Or in an underwire top with boy shorts.
A seersucker one piece. Very family vacation appropriate.
A cute tie dyed number from an unlikely source.
A colorful Trina Turk number for your tropical vacay.
Seashells? Yes, please!
Polka dots and ruffles together. Of course this is love.
I always have to add some Lilly to any wish list.
And in my dream world, this would be my cover up.
What swimsuits are on your wish list? (Or love list if you have it already?)
