Mediterranean Feta Dip | Tassel Tee on Sale


While I was in Charlotte last week we were trying to think of an appetizer for our Easter dinner.  My mom and I came across this recipe on Pinterest and it was a huge hit.  It honestly took maybe 5 minutes to toss together and is ridiculously good.  The combo of the herbs, cheeses, and sun-dried tomatoes is so good.  Plus we loved the slightly spicy bite the jalapeno gave it.  I think this is best served at room temperature so the cheese can slightly soften and is easier to dip.
Enjoy!



|| M E D I T E R R A N E A N  F E T A  D I P ||

- 8-10 oz feta
- 4 oz cream cheese
- olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 small cucumber diced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- chopped chives

Let cream cheese come to room temperature.  In a bowl add cream cheese, feta, drizzle of olive oil, and honey.  Mash with a fork until cheese are well combined.

Add in cucumber, jalapeno, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and chives.  Mix all together.  Serve with pita chips or toasted naan bread.

My Tassel Trim Tee is now 40% off!  It also comes in white and black. It runs on the large side so size down, I am wearing an XS.

This dress is also on sale.  I tried it on a few weeks ago and it is super cute.  I almost bought it for Easter but changed my mind.  
It also comes in black.

What I Wore | Ruffle Blouse + 10 Blouses under $50

Today I wanted to share a recent outfit.  I actually wore this blouse 2 weekends ago to the Family Circle Tennis Cup.  It is such a great blouse, comes in several gorgeous colors and is under $50.  I have my eye on the green color next.  Sizing I found it ran pretty TTS I am wearing a size small.



I am basically obsessed with these earrings and want them in every color.  They are light weight too and don't hurt your ears.  I just recently bought the black color when I was in Charlotte.

I bought this purse during a recent Kate Spade sale and I have been loving it.  It also comes in a really pretty yellow color as well.

Mule love.

You can shop my look below.  




I also rounded up 10 other awesome blouses all under $50.


TWO | Peplum Tee
This comes in so many great colors.  I love a good tee shirt.


I love the nautical look of this one paired with white jeans.  It comes in several other colors too.

FIVE | Cold Shoulder Top
I featured this top last week and adore it.  Super soft cotton.




The back is so cute on this!

Scenes From Our Weekend | Charlotte

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! 
 I have had quite a few questions about the sidebar of my blog and what happened to the Daily Reads section.  I am in the process of updating my blog and switching to a new template so bear with me the next few weeks as some changes take place.  Ultimately when this is all done it should be easier to navigate my blog,  I am also hoping to set it up so you can actually print out the recipes I post.  Lots of good changes there may just be some hiccups along the way.  So stay tuned for a new look soon.  

Since the kids were on Spring Break last week we spent the week in Charlotte with my family.  
I always love spending some time in Charlotte.  

I took the kids to the Nature Museum one day and they loved it.  I had not been in years, it was a fun activity for the kids.  

Sterling loved the Butterfly garden.   Oddly enough Frances got freaked out by the butterflies and thought they were trying to bite her. 

Yafo is always one of my favorite spots to grab lunch.  I wish Charleston had one!!
Outfit of the day.

Another favorite spot in Charlotte is the Wine Store.  I always stop in for wine when I am home.  I love that you can taste the wines before you buy. They had some great roses in for Summer. 

My sister and my nephew Rutledge.

I met some friends for dinner at RuRu's.  I loved the patio area.  They had a great tequila selection and the Mexican rice bowl I had for dinner was really good!
  
We took all the boys out to dinner one night.  We left Frances and baby Rutledge with my parents.  The boy cousins had a blast!
Fried pickles at the Rusty Bucket.

Saturday I met some blogger friends for lunch.  One of my favorite thing about blogging is some of the amazing friends I have met.
(Mallory, Lindsey, and Josephine)
What I wore:

That night we did an Easter Egg hunt for all the kids since we had to head back to Charleston Sunday after church. 


Sterling found the golden egg and was so pumped.  Every year my parents hide one golden egg with $20 in it and all the kids fight over finding it!

Sunday we went to church with my family and then loaded up and headed back to Charleston.
What I wore:
Sunday night Sterling insisted on setting up a special Easter table for us:)  He is the sweetest boy with a heart of gold.  He honestly did a great job decorating and setting the table.
Have a great start to your week.
