Cinco de Mayo

Hola Amigos! Happy FriYAY! Hope everyone has had an amazing week, I feel like it just flew by. Seemed like there was so much I had to get done this week and then bam its Friday. Just remember better days are coming, they are called Saturday and Sunday! This weekend I will be spending time in my home town, celebrating and hanging out with the family. Yesterday evening my Aunt gave birth to her first baby girl and I have to say I am so ready to meet her and take a million pictures. Today I am excited to share with y'all the cutest top just in time for Cinco de Mayo weekend. 

How fun is this multi-colored, off shoulder top? I always love when an entertaining holiday comes around it makes it that much more fun shopping for an outfit. This top is under $20 and is perfect for any summer event. I'm loving all the vibrant colored stripes, the fact that its flowy and lightweight! I would say this top is true to size, I am wearing my normal size small. 
Pictured above is my BFF/Roomie, She's usually the one taking my pictures for me but this week I wanted to do something a little special and have a fun shoot with her in it. That it definitely was, we had such a great time trying to pose each other and act like we know what we are doing! lol Next week is her 22nd Birthday and I can't wait to celebrate.
In honor of celebrating the Cinco de Mayo holiday, I want to share with y'all one of my go to Mexican drinks. An ice cold Michelada "Red Beer". If you're a fan of savory, spicy and tart at the same time, this cool refreshment will unquestionably be one of your new favorites. 
MICHELADA RECIPE:
Ingredients
  • Mexican lager beer (Modelo is my favorite)
  • Clamato (tomato juice) or Zing-Zang
  • 3-4 splashes hot sauce, more or less to taste
  • 2 splashes of Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 splashes of Maggi sauce (or soy sauce)
  • Juice of one lime
  • Tajín seasoning (or salt) for the rim
Instructions
  • Take about a tablespoon of Tajín (or salt) and sprinkle it on a small plate. Rub a slice of lime around the rim of the glass and then press the rim in the Tajín to salt the rim.
  • Fill the glass about ¼ to ⅓ with the Clamato juice. Add the hot sauce, the lime juice, the Worcestershire sauce, and the soy sauce. If you used Tajín to salt the rim, pour any excess from the plate into the glass.\
  • Fill the rest with cold beer.
  • Garnish with a slice of lime and enjoy!

So glad you stopped by today! I'll be sending all the positive vibes your way and hoping that you get to get your fiesta on this weekend!
XOXO- Katherine

Grateful for Twenty-Three

Good Morning Loves! Today's my BIRTHDAY, I am turning 23 years old the oldest I've ever been! Seem like now-a-days the years just keep going by faster, but I am thankful to have lived another one. This morning I am celebrating with my family and three banana pancakes, from the best granny. To continue the celebration Calvin and I are headed to San Antonio this weekend. I am so excited to have a fulfilled weekend with him doing some of my favorite things. Thursday we plan on going out on the town for a little dancing, Friday we are floating the river, and Saturday calls for a relaxing spa day.  This shoot has to be one of my favorites, we took these pictures at a local Ice Cream Shop Holly Hops. What's a better way to celebrate your birthday than with some cake batter ice cream?! SOO DELICIOUS! Todays outfit is so fun and bright. Who else loves wearing yellow in the summer? Brings out your tan, even if you don't have one. LOL Hoping to add some color to me t...

Hey Y’all! Happy Hump Day! Half way through this week, woohoo! Seems to be so much going on, headed into the end of the semester, everything is due for my classes at the same time, as well as multiple tests in the same week. At this point I'm just trying to keep my head up, stay on schedule, not fall behind and finish the semester strong. I am currently dreaming of summer days at the pool and hanging out with friends. Today I am sharing a pair of my favorite retro sunnies. If you're anything small like me, you have the hardest time finding shades that fit your face. Every summer I try and find a new pair of affordable shades that I can wear every day.   Why I love these shades??   ONE : Lightweight, wear these all day and they will not hurt your ears or nose   TWO : Affordable, Old Navy for only $6   THREE : Style, pair these shades with any outfit causal, sporty, etc.   I als o want to share with you a pair of s...
