Oh my goodness is the month of May REALLY almost over?!  Wow.  Well, cheers to the 3 day weekend!  I'm probably going to head down to my hometown and spend a couple of days down there.  Maybe someone will be oh so generous and let me in on a bbq cookout?  Haha.  I'm going to hangout with an old friend so I'm really excited about catching up with her!  Hope you all have a safe and happy weekend!

**The American Red Cross Tornado Relief will continue throughout the Memorial Day Weekend:

Warm weather is here, and so it's time to bring out the pretty dresses!  With so many occasions coming up like weddings, graduations, vacations, reunions and such, it'll be good to have different options ready. And with each of these dresses coming in under $50, they're a style steal!  The orange one with the pleated skirt is my personal fave.  Which is your favorite?

All white is synonymous with Memorial Day Weekend, I think.  While it's not technically officially Summer yet (by the calendar that is), I consider this three day weekend the kickoff to Summer.  What better time to bring out those crisp white jeans or shorts?  Pair with a bright nail (love this Essie color), and cheers to the long weekend!

RECIPE: SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

I found this recipe for a summer salad, and although it had fruit in it (not my typically my preference) it looked delicious so I decided to try it out.  It's light, crisp, and flavorful.  Perfect for warmer evenings when you don't want to heat up the kitchen cooking a big dinner!  Like this salad?  Feel free to pin (hover over top of image) and share it!  :)  Are you a fan of fruits on your salad?

Ingredients:
