ONE SHOULDER CLASSIC & "THE" BRUSCHETTA

I've said it many times, and I will say it again, there is just something about crisp white in the summer! While I've always been an off-the-shoulder girl, as you know, I've really been diggin one shoulders this year. When I saw this from the Loft I knew it would be perfect with just simple jeans and cute pumps! 

There is an amazing Neapolitan pizza restaurant in town called Venturi. While the pizza is pretty delicious, what I love most is their seasonal bruschetta. From mid June until August, they have the most embarrassing heirloom tomato bruschetta that I have ever tasted in my life. I look so forward to it every summer and while I could eat a whole one by myself, Mr. Nine and I usually share. 

This is what I wore on a night when we went there and you cannot see it in the pictures, but before dinner the wind blew the ruffle up in my face and I got lipstick on it plus Mr. Nine joked why would you wear crisp white to a pizza place?

I did manage not to get any pizza on it, and my taste buds were still screaming with joy after our meal there that night due to the homemade mozzarella the lemon oil vinaigrette topping and crispy homemade baguette bread. Something about those with the heirloom tomatoes just makes it extra special.

So I guess you could say this post combines two of my favorite things, well actually three, fashion, food and out to eat with my Mr. and sons. Any night like that is special, even if I do get lipstick on the ruffle, LOL!

And Tomorrow I am back again for Tasty Tuesday with a recipe that would most likely taste delicious with this Bruschetta! I'm hungry, see ya then!

RUSTY & FASHION LINK-UP

These pictures were taken by my oldest when he was home on Fall Break. I thought the ole' college boy would be a little "Rusty" with the camera, but quite the contrary, he was more patient, told me how to pose, when my double chin was showing, if I had lipstick on my teeth and made me laugh.

This month, TBB sistas and I are showcasing Favorite Finds for our weekly fashion link-up. I think this floppy hat has officially become my favorite hat of all time. It's from Nodstrom and is so well constructed and "flops" in all the right places. In the Fall, I am so in love with rich Fall hues likes rusts, oranges, sienna, etc so this blouse, also a Nordstrom find, was instant love for me. The bell sleeves are the three quarter ones, which I love and are so light and flowy.

I felt like adding just a smidge of leopard with the hinged cuff from Accessory Concierge. And you know when I wear these boho type tops, I gotta wear a pair of my flare jeans. These distressed ones are from American Eagle and since you want flares to be on the longer side to elongate the legs, I usually pair with a wedge boot like these Lucky booties in the Fall and Winter.
