Happy National High Heels Day! This is a fun day to celebrate high heels. If you have a pair you never wear, wear them today! Design an outfit around your favorite pair of high heels and celebrate how fabulous they look.

If you need to invest in a classic pair of high heels which will carry you from season to season, year after year, I curated a few fabulous pairs, three of which I own, that make great investment shoes. Love!

In case you were wondering, I own a pair of Rockstud Noir heels, classic patent pumps, and the Mary Janes; although mine are chocolate brown, which is currently not available, so I linked to the timeless black pair.

BAF Weekly IT List

It is printed dress season! With outdoor events in abundance such as graduation, a spring/summer tea, garden parties, and more, it is important to have one solid printed dress which can easily be worn to all of these events. Of course, if it is the same group of people, you may need multiple dresses. . .. but hopefully just one!

Timeless investment handbags and jewelry are still hotter than hot! Colorful nail polish is also hot. In addition, this is the time to start switching to summer fragrances with notes such as coconut, neroli, citrus, vanilla, and a base of musk. Love!

What are you loving as we move into the summer season?

Summer pasta recipe

Summer pasta: dinner plate / silverware / table cloth /

As the weather warms up, it is nice to lighten up our pasta sauce, and make a summer pasta for dinner! Yum! I love this light and healthy pasta which I put together on a warm day for dinner.

This is a really easy recipe to make for dinner. So, without further ado, here is what you need to make this yummy pasta dish at home.

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 lb. pasta (pick your favorite shape!)
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 3 cloves diced or crushed garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Shredded or grated parmesan cheese (save for after cooking)

In a large pot, boil water for your pasta. In a small sauce pan, simmer butter or margarine, olive oil, garlic, and paprika until melted and blended together. Once melted and blended, set it aside.

Wash your cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. Keep them cool and place them aside for after the pasta is done.

Once your pasta is cooked, drain it and put is back into the pot you cooked it in. Pour your sauce into the pot and stir until pasta is coated.

Serve your pasta on a dish and sprinkle basil leaves and cherry tomatoes on top of the pasta. Top with parmesan cheese.

Then, serve and enjoy! Yum!

I hope you love this summer pasta dish as much as my family does. It is light and yummy!
