Green Geometric Print Jacket

What would you wear for a formal event at this time of the year? I prefer something loose and boxy. Colorful, but not over-the-top. I love this coat/jacket by Milly. Its a beautiful and extremely comfortable coat which I wore out on a warm day and didn't sweat at all. I, of course did take it off to reveal this beautiful white Erin Erin Fetherston dress, paired with my white block sandals.

Keeping Your Dogs Cool In Summer

The way summer can be tough for us and so is the case with your dogs. Some dogs are furrier than the others and more intense the heat. I have a Labrador and they have a double coat. He does shed a lot in summer but it's still intense for him. So we make sure to follow a few summer checklist so that summer is more fun and less torture for him.

DONT STEP OUT WHEN ITS HOTTEST

It's critical that you don't step out with your dog during the hottest part of the day. The asphalt can burn your pooch's paws. If you have to take him out then look for shade and grass.

PLENTY OF DRINKING WATER

Make sure your dog has access to water. It's important to be able to drink water whenever your dog is thirsty. I use this and it's immensely useful if I have to step out for a little longer. The water keeps filling up in the bowl as Margo drinks it. Sometimes on a very hot day, I even put quite a few ice cubes in the water.

TRY ICE FOR TREAT

Margo has always loved ice cubes. so it goes without saying that that's what I reach out for when I have to treat him for a good behavior or even no behavior and just because I want to. I always make ice cubes for myself with lime and strawberries. Margo sometimes gets the cube with berries as they are good for him and so is the ice!

MAKE A COOL NOOK

We all need to be in the shade when it's incredibly hot. For dogs, the heat follows wherever they go because of their fur. It's important to find a spot for them that is cool. You can either put on the Air conditioner or a fan or a nice shaded cool area.

3 Easy Canapé Ideas

Summer time means lots of parties and friends over. While having fun is the key agenda, so is good food. As we wait for the meat to grill, we start off with some very simple canapés. So we have some sweet & some savoury to munch on while we laugh and chit-chat around the table.

GOAT CHEESE & FIG PRESERVE

On rice crackers place a little goat cheese & fig preserve on top

SMOKED SALMON, CUCUMBER & DILL YOGHURT 

On a rice cracker, place 2 small pieces of smoked salmon & a slice of cucumber. In a separate bowl mix yoghurt, salt, garlic powder & some dill. Top up your canape with the mix.

DEVILED EGGS WITH OLIVE

Boil eggs, peel, cut in halves (vertically) and take the yellow out in a separate bowl. Now place the white on your serving dish. Crush the yellows fine, and add some salt & pepper, olive oil, mayonnaise and some spicy mustard sauce and mix well. once mixed add chopped, pitted olives and mix lightly. Spoon the mixture into the egg whites.
