{glam style app: summer lovin' edition}

The new June edition of the Glam Style App is available for download on your iPad and this month I contributed an article about easy home decor swaps to get your place ready for summer!  You can check out all the products below and get the details on where to buy them in the app.  Of course I had to include our new Palm Leaf artwork because I'm generally obsessed with it and at $60 per print it is a great inexpensive way to bring some bright summer inspired art into your home!  Browse some previous contributions I have made to the Glam Style app here.

The newest edition of the Glam Style App might just be my favorite one yet!  It's their Globetrotter edition filled with packing lists, outfit inspiration and trip itineraries for destinations around the world including a section all about Paris from yours truly.  Here's a few snapshots from the app and you can get all the details by downloading it for your Ipad or Iphone right here!

{spicy squash soup with pumpkin seed pesto}

Butternut squash soup is my favorite cold weather comfort food and I am always looking for interesting takes on the usually simple recipe.  We came across this recipe for a spicy butternut squash soup with pumpkin seed pesto in our Epicurious app on our Ipad (highly recommend this app- the shopping list feature is amazing).  The jalapeno and cumin in the squash soup gives it a nice full flavor and a little spicy kick, but my favorite part of this meal was the pumpkin seed pesto.   We were even discussing perhaps adding a handful of pistachios to the pumpkin seed pesto and using it on crostini as an appetizer in the future.   Be aware that this recipe makes A LOT of servings so be prepared to serve this for at least 6 people or freeze a good amount of the soup.
