RAVISHING RED

So last night, the tangerine jumpsuit won in the race for which outfit I was going to wear to dinner. This beautiful red one came in third. I have got to say, I love the fit of it so much that I decided to at least do a photo shoot with it and just maybe save it for a special occasion! I truly do love red! 

The cut of this strapless baby was just so fun! And I loved the side bow.

It was very chilly this day so the pictures happened quickly but my mom did such a good job at one of our pretty local parks.

This was an easy one to zip down and up and perfect to just add some simple jewelry and pumps.

MY BIRTHDAY PIE....KEY LIME

Today is my Birthday and this is my Favorite PIE! I have been a Forever fan of Key Lime martinis. My mom went to a get together with her friends several years back and had the most amazing Key Lime pie so she decided to surprise me with it one year for my birthday! Well, can I tell you it’s probably the pie and dessert that I look forward to most each year! It is now a tradition. You guys, I have had a lot of pies, but I have never had a Key Lime pie as good as my mom’s! We think that it is the Nellie and Joe’s lime juice, which is like no other, as well as the sweetened condensed milk. If you like Key lime pie, this is a must! And the simplicity and ease of making it cannot be beat!

Throwback Cheers with my favorite Martini!

NO Fooling, it's April and I'm excited!! AND It’s Amazon Prime time again with the ever-growing popular link-up over at Tanya's Blog. Can't wait to Link-Up!! Also, tomorrow is my birthday!

Some of these things, I want so much, I may just get them myself anyway, LOL!

3. ICE CREAM MAKER
I LOVE good ice cream and while one place nearby has the best I have ever had, I really want to try some homemade recipes this summer.

I told you many times how much I love coral, so I am all about these earrings!

What a doll! BUY EARRINGS HERE
