boho short set

boho short set, casual summer dressing, summer style, matching separates, how to wear the boho trendWhen the weather gets warm, we tend to gravitate towards easy to wear pieces.  Last weekend, during our trip to Southern California, the sun finally came out on our last day.  For those of you not familiar with Southern California, the beach cities tend to get “June Gloom,” which is a gray, overcast that lasts most of the morning, but sometimes even the whole day.  It also tends to make the days pretty chilly.  No matter how many times we head to Southern California in the summer, we never bring warm enough clothes!  You can imagine our excitement when Sunday turned out to be a sunny, warm day.  We were finally able to hit the beach for some sun!

This boho short set from Goodnight Macaroon is perfect for summer, and at under $100 for two pieces, it’s an easy decision!  With a neutral sandal and bag, this outfit is a great summer casual look.  Goodnight Macaroon is a great place to shop for adorable summer dresses, cute blouses and everything in between, and for a reasonable price.  Recently, we have added a few dresses, tops and this short set to our closet.   We have found that most things we have ordered from Goodnight Macaroon run true to size.  See how we styled another boho piece during a weekend in Fredericksburg!

watermelon feta salad

watermelon and feta salad

Happy Summer!  With summer officially in full swing, we spent the weekend outside by the pool relaxing.  Grilling out by the pool is our favorite way to cook during the summer and this weekend was no different.  In our opinion, dining al fresco is the best, and while the weather is still cool enough, we are taking full advantage of it!  We love to set the table with a tablecloth and fresh flowers, cloth napkins and silverware.   The guys grilled steak (for them) and salmon (for us) and we made one of our favorite go-to summer dishes: watermelon and feta salad.

One of the reasons we love this salad is because it is so easy to make, but we also love it because we get to use produce that is in season.  It is a composed salad, plated and prepared individually for each person.  One of our favorite sites to find recipes by searching for key ingredients is Epicurious.  We find that their ratings and comments are really accurate, and we have found some great new recipes this way, like this salad.  We served this as a side dish for Father’s Day yesterday, but it is so easy to add some grilled chicken or steak and serve this as the main course!

Watermelon and Feta Salad:

Ingredients:

  • 1 5-ounce package salad greens (we used organic baby kale)
  • 8 cups 3/4-inch cubes seedless watermelon
  • 1 7-ounce package feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar glaze

Preparation:

Arrange salad greens on each plate. Scatter watermelon, then feta over. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with pepper.

Ingredient tip: Balsamic vinegar glaze can be found in the vinegar section at many supermarkets. If unavailable, boil 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to 3 tablespoons, 6 to 7 minutes.  So easy!

Cheers,
