A salad I have been making for years, this Kale Caesar Salad makes for a great summer dish. Swapping a few ingredients from the traditional recipe yields a yummy and healthier version of a classic salad.
White Eyelet & A HUGE Nordstrom Giveaway!
Happy Monday, friends! With just over a week to go until the Fourth of July (where is this year going?!), I am kicking off the holiday a little early with patriotic looks this week and next. While this particular look is more subtle and could be worn all summer long, it’s a fun way to show a little patriotic spirit in your Fourth of July outfit.
Summer Closet Staple: Black Maxi Dress
It’s hard to find more of a closet staple than a black dress. A black dress is a necessity no matter what season, but if you are looking to add one to your summer collection, I have found the perfect one! This wear anywhere, dress up or dress down black maxi dress is my new go-to basic dress for summer.
ABM How-To: The Shop
Happy Wednesday, friends! Today I wanted to share this “how-to” on the blog. While I usually have new blog posts Monday through Thursday, I wanted to introduce you to the A Blonde’s Moment shop! I have included screenshots and a quick how-to video below to explain how to access my latest finds, style essentials and beauty favorites throughout the week.
Easy Cheeseburger Kabobs
It’s hard to believe the Fourth of July is just around the corner. Wasn’t it just Memorial Day? Regardless, it’s time to take advantage of all the BBQ dishes! I always love to share recipes with a different spin, so when I was coming up with ideas for recipes, I wanted to try a spin on the traditional summer dish, cheeseburgers. I’ve shared several versions of veggie burgers, but since the Fourth of July is the perfect time for get-togethers, you might be looking for bite-sized dishes to serve your guests. A deconstructed burger, these cheeseburger kabobs are the perfect food to serve at your Fourth of July party or any summer party!
Palm Print Sundress
Another day, another dress! There is no denying my love for dresses, but I think summer dresses are my favorite. It’s the coolest way to survive a D.C. summer! I had bought this dress for Palm Springs (perfect with the palms, right?!) but didn’t have a chance to wear it. We opted for Costco pizza on the second to last night of our vacation because we were so sick of getting dressed up to go out for dinner. Vacation should be relaxing, right? The Costco pizza was the best decision ever! However, I wasn’t able to wear this cute palm print sundress. Thankfully this casual number will look cute all summer long.
Summer Makeup with Urban Decay
With summer in full swing, I’ve shared several outfit and recipe ideas, but what about makeup for the season? As a blogger, I am fortunate enough to receive PR packages from companies with their newest products quite frequently. However, I’m pretty picky about the products I share with you. I only want to share the very best products and the ones that I love! Recently, I received Urban Decay’s latest collection and it has summer written all over it.

Jumpsuits are everywhere these days and here are a few of the best jumpsuits for summer…
Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites
I have always found breakfast foods to be challenging. Weekday mornings are typically a rush, so quick meals are key. Since giving up caffeine last summer, I don’t frequent Starbucks all that much. But, a few months ago, I stopped by to get a decaf coffee and saw these cute, little egg bites in the case. Known as “sous vide egg bites” and with an egg and egg white version to pick from, I thought I would give the egg white version a try. After one bite, I was hooked. Since I loved the Starbucks version, I thought I would try recreating the recipe at home.
Summer Midi Dress
Happy Monday, friends! Sharing one last look from our trip to California today on ABM. This bohemian floral summer midi dress was perfect for the Palm Springs heat. As soon as I saw this dress, I knew it would be perfect for our trip, as well as all summer long.
