Passion Tea Lemonade :: {Starbucks Style}

Passion Tea Lemonade 

{Starbucks Style}

simple, delicious, & refreshing 

perfect for sipping on the porch or veranda 

on a hot summer day...

Recipe::

 *Tazo Passion Tea

fill pitcher 1/4 up with hot water, add tea bag and let it soak in hot water for 1 min.

(there are two ways to purchase this:: you can get the kind that is for a pitcher of tea, 

or you can get the kind that are normal tea bags for mugs. 

If you get the normal tea bags, add 3-4 tea bags to the hot water.) 

*Add lemonade 

( I typically use the Simply Lemonade, but you could use fresh if you'd like)

*add slices of lemons if you'd like

Oh! and don't forget the

Nantucket:: 76 Main Hotel

Love my summer beach reads. Love. 

So, I was very excited that the long-awaited new Elin Hilderbrand book, 

 Beautiful Day, is finally out. In fact, I received my copy in the mail today.

On a related note, since all of Elin Hilderbrand's books are based in Nantucket, MA, 

I thought I'd highlight a very stylish, upscale, modern and beautiful Nantucket hotel...

76 Main. The designer for this amazing decor is the talented Rachel Reider of Boston.

I adore Nantucket and absolutely can't wait to go back... 

I know where I want to stay when I do:: 

76 Main is amazingly beautiful, classy, with a subtle beach vibe.

Gwyneth Paltrow is Modern & Preppy for Swedish Brand Lindex

One of my favorite actresses is now a style icon, and I'm loving her 

chic/casual, modern/preppy style right now!

Gwyneth Paltrow is involved in the new spring 

"Modern Preppy" line for a Swedish Company called Lindex.

They explain that the inspiration for this new fresh spring line is from the sporty, relaxed lifestyle that is characteristic of the USA"s East Coast gems, such as Long Island and the Hamptons...

but they've added a certain Scandinavian twist.  

They've added sequins, bright colors, gold buttons, and stripes galore!

Personally, I'm loving the colors & combinations, and think Gwyneth is a perfect model 

to represent their fantastic spring clothing line! 

***in my mind I'm imagining that I could wear this selection of clothing while I spend my 

summer decorating my amazing beach house in the Hamptons this summer. 

I can see it now... 

a little tennis in the early morning, golf late morning, lunch at the beach club, a lovely beach read 

while I watch the children frolic in the ocean waves in the afternoon, and maybe flip through

 one of my Decor magazines while I sip some of my Passion Tea lemonade on the 

porch in the late afternoon. Relax time snuggling in the hammock with the kiddos.

At night I would love to host a BBQ with friends and stay up laughing and 

playing games until late.Gosh it sounds like a dream... 

OH! it is a dream!!! And a good one too! 

These outfits would fit in quite nicely to my lifestyle in my imaginary beach house... 

then again, maybe I wouldn't choose the Hamptons. Actually, I would choose a place on

 Duck Beach, NC or Hilton Head, SC.

There. The dream is a little better. huh... I could really have fun planning this. 

See what the power of fashion can do! Right now Lindex has triggered some serious 

"summer dreaming."

While my reality is quite different, it's always nice to have an imagination, right?! Ha!

So, not only is Gwyneth modeling for Lindex, but not too long ago she put on her

GOOP site some fashion ideas that she modeled for Net-A-Porter.

Stripey + Polka Dot Paper Straws

Modern Palm 

now has a great selection of stripey & polka dot straws,

These add the perfect retro charm to any party! 

Sweet baby showers, wedding receptions, candy buffets, birthday parties,

luncheons, basically any special event!  

I even like leaving them on the kitchen counter to add a little retro vintage fun.  

You never really outgrow a sippy stick!

I mean really...

aren't these just darling!?

If you get these straws, I would la la love you to send in photos 

of how you use these straws to entertain. If you send me the photos,

I'll post the photos on my blog. 

I'm sure we can all benefit from some creative ideas, 

and I know that y'all have some serious creative juices flowing

in those fantastic parties of yours.
