When I first laid eyes upon Turquoise by Dolce & Gabbana for summer 2016, I fell in love! This was a nail polish color I knew I had to have for the summer season. It was a little bit hard to find, since it had already sold out in several stores. Thankfully, I was able to find Dolce & Gabbana Turquoise nail polish for summer 2016 in stock, online here (USA), and online here (UK delivery only). Yes!

As with all Dolce & Gabbana nail polishes, the color is long lasting, even, and unique. I tested Dolce and Gabbana Turquoise nail polish for summer 2016 out with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. It lasted a full week! Love that!

Turquoise is a fun color to wear in the summer months. It is bright, light-hearted, and plays well with most other color groups; except shades of red and orange.

I am looking forward to wearing Dolce & Gabbana Turquoise nail polish often this summer!

Casual summer boyfriend jeans

Casual, summer boyfriend jeans, have become my go-to on days when I want to be comfortable. They are loose fitting, the fabric gives, and they look more like I am wearing real clothing then running around town in yoga pants. Although boyfriend jeans are not what one would refer to as “slimming,” they are comfortable, and easy to dress up or down. Those facts alone make them a winner in my closet!

I have worn my summer boyfriend jeans with high wedges, low heels, and also flat shoes. In the pictures above, I wore my boyfriend jeans to Santana Row with a pair of espadrille/sneaker hybrids. It was very comfortable! I was with my two daughters, who both took these pictures, and knew I would be doing a lot of walking. The shoes, and jeans, were the perfect combination for walking, shopping, and spending time with my two girls.

We were at Santana Row so I could check out some Father’s Day gift ideas, and put together a gift guide for Father’s Day, which you can read online here. After we took pictures of my favorite gift ideas, we went to Lisa’s Tea Treasures for tea. It was so much fun!

If you have never been to Lisa’s Tea Treasures, I highly recommend going. The tea food is filling, and makes a great lunch. The service is fabulous, and it is a great opportunity to teach your kids table manners; if you have children.

How often do you serve formal tea at home? If you are like me, once every ten years-if that! Going to Lisa’s Tea Treasures is definitely a great opportunity to teach tea time etiquette to the kids. They have a kids tea which includes a small slice of cheese pizza, mini corn dogs, ice cream, and fruity tea. My daughters love it! You can see my meal on my Instagram online here. That was cannoli cake, and it was pure heaven!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
