Summer of Love

Welcome back to The Paisley Bottom! I have been itching to show all of you the magic Natalie and I have created. We ventured to the beautiful Cataract Falls to showcase some of my favorite summer looks. All of these outfits are styled and modeled by me :) All photos were taken by super talented Natalie Peterson (Natalierosepeterson.com). Enjoy! 
TANGERINE DREAM
I was completely inspired when my favorite designer Mary Myers of Novella Royale chose to use this gorgeous shade of tangerine in her Summerland collection. Midi dresses are one of my favorite looks of the season, and I adore how this dress hugs my curves while still looking modest. Sorbet and sunflowers drift across my mind whenever I slide into this outfit. Matched with my pastel wooden clogs and I feel like a 70's dream!

Festival Frenzy
Bells, bells, bells!!! A trend that has gone the distance, and is still here to stay. Babes, say hello to your new favorite festival pants! These pants are also from Novella Royale's Summerland collection. This deep Indigo Chantilly pattern is a match made in heaven with my Emperor's Crop Top by one of my new fav designers; The Jetset Diaries. Even if you're not attending a festival this season, this outfit is insanely comfortable and perfect for steamy summer nights.

BOOGIE NIGHTS
Let's groove tonight ;) The designer of this dress -Liberated Heart- absolutely kills it! Every item I have purchased from their store has blown me away. Their patterns are even more vivid in real life and the clothes fit me like a glove! Liberated Heart is located in Australia but they offer express international shipping and I always receive packages from them in a very timely manner! And HELLO THESE GLADIATORS ARE LIFE!! Thigh High x Gladiators x Lace up Sandals= a pair of shoes that will never go out of style. The padded footbed makes them even comfier then I could have imagined. I realize this outfit may seem a little bit over the top, but if you're looking for that perfect date/ night on the town outfit that matches bold statement pieces with elegance... look no further!
Rings: Bahgsu Jewels, Free People, & New Age People

Low Carb Blueberry Almond Meal Pancakes!!


Due to medical reasons, my doctor encouraged me to go on a low carb diet while I was on antibiotics. I am now allowed to start adding excess carbs back into my meals, but this newly endured low carb diet inspired me! My sweet tooth has been encouraging me to embark on some new recipes. I discovered several almond meal pancake recipes on the internet. The following is a combination of several different recipes that I tweaked on my own. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

Pancake batter: 
2 large eggs
1 cup almond meal
1/4 cup vanilla almond milk
2 tbsp olive oil
1 packet Sweet Leaf sweetener
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
a dash of salt
25 blueberries (5g carbs)

Optional toppings:
Roasted Pecans
Dark Chocolate covered Coconut flakes
Justin's Maple Almond Butter
1 Strawberry

(Yields about 4 6-inch pancakes)


Directions: 
1. Combine 2 large eggs, 1 cup almond meal, 1/4 cup vanilla almond milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, 25 blueberries, and 1 packet of Sweet Leaf sweetener in a mixing bowl. Mix until desired texture is reached.
2. Heat stove on Med-High
3. I personally love cooking with Coconut oil, but you can use any oil to non-stick your frying pan!
4. Pour in pancake batter and cook on each side for approx. 2 minutes.
5. Once pancakes are finished, top with almond butter, pecans, dark chocolate coconut flakes and strawberries. (or whatever toppings you decide)
6. INDULGE WITHOUT REMORSE!!
