So of course my knee jerk reaction was to make a homemade key lime pie, and who knew it was simple to do. Well um, kind of - if you get past the trying to juice 12 itty bitty key limes for a 1/2 cup of juice. Other than that it's a breeze with little prep and baking time, plus you only need a pie crust, condensed milk, eggs and of course, key lime juice. 

And the results were incredible (I even surprised myself), it was the perfect amount of tang and zest in a 9in'' refreshing pie that's perfect for those warm spring and summer days. Try it, you will not be sorry :)

Key Lime Pie 

4 Large Egg Yolks

1 14oz Can Sweetended Condensed Milk

1/2 C Key Lime Juice (approx. 12 key limes or 4 Persian Limes, do not use bottled juice)

9'' Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Preheat Oven to 350

Juice Key Limes (I found that using a garlic press is an ideal candidate for the process). 

Next, mix the egg yolks until they are thick and light yellow. Do not over mix.

Add sweetened condensed milk, mix on 'low' adding 1/2 of the lime juice. Once the juice is incorporated add remaining lime juice, continue to mix until blended (just a few seconds).

You may remember my post a couple weeks ago about Natalie Portman wearing Charles By Charles David's Pure pump, as it turns out sizing is quite limited and they're selling out fast which prompted me to find an equally fabulous look-a-like. And that I did, even better is that the "Satin Platform Pump" from GoJane is only $20 (and also comes in black, orange and lime). So I think I might be checking into those because my size is sold out of the "Pure"....

What do you think?

Target has some fabulous designer inspired footwear this season, from wedges inspired by Cynthia Vincent's collaboration to clogs that are dead ringers for Anthropologie's. The shoe that has caught my eye is the Dolce Vita Jade Look-a-like for $29.99, it's practically identical with little differences. It's the perfect spring shoe, and I'm loving the zipper detail and the caged look. 

Have you gotten shoes from Target lately?

Pairing the terra cotta colored wall with the blue hued outfit reminds me of a lovely sunset where the deep orange sun is chasing the clear blue skies away. Now, of course leopard prints doesn't quite play a role in the sunset, but it's perfect for just about any look....

(Plus you don't have to purchase monthly like other sites it's when you have the urge to snag something new).

HAPPY SHOPPING!

With spring knocking on my door it seems as if it's time to bring out some serious color, perhaps in the form of this amazingly tie dyed dress, which is clearly statement piece in itself. And since a cool breeze hits me ever now and then this knit sweater is a perfect fit bringing out the grey tones in the dress (that I didn't notice until after I took the pictures) while keeping me warm.

Happy Spring to my fellow warm weather readers, and for my still cold weather readers...It's coming!

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend, I luckily got to spend my day at the beach (and getting my computer screen trashed by my toddler, yeah that's going to cost me...) yesterday  - it was a whopping 78 degrees. Hellloooo Spring, as for today it's a little cooler so I brought out the safari trench and tights, which if it heats up I plan on removing and replacing my boots with pumps. It seems it's warming up just about everywhere, with a handful of exceptions. 

With the "Collective Dress Collection" set to launch March 13th (in select stores and online, consisting of 34 dress from past Go International designers, priced between $24.99-$44.99), sneak peaks are all around the web which has me wondering how much of  you are actually hyped on the 5 year anniversary collection. Don't get me wrong, I loved most of those collaborations when they came out and yes I sadly missed out on some of them, but I'm not exactly sure how sold I am on re-launching something that's already been released in the last year (Zac Posen and Tucker). I will however say that I'm interested in seeing how it's sells and hoping that the Jovovich-Hawk Polka Dot Dress goes on clearance so I can scoop it up, otherwise I'm sorry to say I'll probably be sitting this one out. 

What do you think about the collection?
