I’m pleased to announce that we are prepping for a little vacation to the West Coast!!
I’m so very excited to visit Washington because I’ve never been there. We are flying into Seattle! We have a few stops planned so far, but several gaps will be filled in. 
If any of you have recommendations – please share!!
I’m really excited to have less humidity (fingers crossed!) and to go to a professional soccer game! We are going to spend plenty of time in the gorgeous outdoors with friends who work at a ranch in the central part of the state!
Meanwhile, I’ve been burning through farm-fresh zucchini as fast as I can.
Homemade tomato sauce went into this bad boy. I keep whole wheat lasagna noodles at all times in my pantry. Instead of layering on ricotta, I just stuck to a bubbly layer of mozzarella on the top. The veggies (eggplant and zucchini), basil, and leeks gave it a strong flavor profile! I think basic lasagnas can be improvised for any season! No recipe required.
Over at Thrifted Sister we’ve posted a darling bathing suit from the 70s. I love the deep v-neck, flattering cut, and the flirty tie. We were featured on the Etsy blog this week for another one of our suits, which caused our views to skyrocket! It was so exciting. I have a few adorable dresses that I hope to get posted before we take off.
Get the details here.
Lastly, here is a little bit of what’s been inspiring me lately.
A read:
Especially Bananafish and Esme.
A flick:
Chocolat (1988) This film was both lush and powerful! Set in Cameroon in the 1950s.
A space:
From Design*Sponge’s best offices.
Again, hit me up with your Seattle/Washington tips and have a lovely rest of the weekend!
