Since Oprah was the inspiration, I will start with a knock off from her list because you can ALL enjoy it! It is the MAR-A-LAGO TURKEY BURGER!
Made by the Executive Chef at Donald Trump's Mar-a-lago. My mother in law and I BOTH decided to make them yesterday for Memorial Day, and they were AWESOME! I HIGHLY recommend them. They might take a little prepwork.. But if you feel like WOWING your guests for a BBQ, this is a SURE FIRE way to do it!Many of you visit Kelly, and if you don't, you need to start because the girl has the best fashion sense on a budget that I have seen in a long time. She could definitely start her own fashion website.. and practically has. She gave my summer a kick start by suggesting this shirt from target.
She said it was her newest favorite shirt, but now it is mine. I hopped on down to Target to get it, and they didn't carry it at my store, but they DO ONLINE.... For $12.99 it is a steal, and everyone looks great in it. LOVE IT. So, go ahead and buy it now.. in all 4 colors. You will be glad you did. Bag the plain old t-shirts just for one summer, and look CUTE!What does everyone need to go with a cute new shirt? CUTE SHOES! I have LONNNNGG since coveted these gladiator sandals worn by Kate Hudson,
They just speak to me. HOWEVER, I found out that they are Chanel, and since I don't plan on setting foot inside Chanel maybe EVER, I guess they are out of the question. PLUS I don't think I could really pull off the Gladiator Sandal Look... since I am rarely seen outside of cut offs and a t-shirt in the summer toting around a crumb faced kid. BUT, if I DID have someplace sassy to go, I would get THESE knock offs and feel like a fashionista!
Ok, SHIRT: Check! SHOES: Check! HANDBAG: Ohhh baby... what girl DOESN'T love a great handbag. I like to keep it below the $50 mark. (I know some of you out there go a little beyond that...)However, why go over that when you can have THIS!
OR THIS!
OR THIS!!!
ALL WHILE SAVING MOTHER EARTH! That is right.. they are man-made! No harm to animals... recycled goodness. I don't profess to be a TOTALLY green goddess, but I do try my best, and why not get one of these bags for under $50 to make you feel even more GREEN. :)Find a Shiraleah bag at a store near you.. You WON'T be disappointed. There are other things that belong on this list like the Vitamixand these flip flops that I am about to order from Eddie Bauer $5 off each pair if you order 2 pairs!!!They come in 8 different COLORS!
But the last thing I am going to put on my list for summer is:
If you need to find me, this is where I will be. You are welcome to come for a swim any time! :)

I loved this and now I am totally thinking about my fav summer things...
Though the gladiator sandals are cute, I definitely need a heel, my seven year old is almost as tall as me! And I so need a handbag I am checking those websites out!
I just got some cute bags at Target clearance for $5.00! LOVE IT. However, when those break, I am looking into this website. I LOVE those purses. And the chicken thing...will you make that when we get together for a bbq and swim? My place or yours?
GREAT summer tips-I'm off to Target for my shirts! Thanks!
I am considering myself invited to swim in July!
I love summer for all the FRUIT!! Fruit salad, fruit pizza, fruit smoothies...
YUM

Oh my gosh! Is that YOUR pool?? Gorgeous. I love those bags too. I am getting one, just need to decide which one. Thanks for the advertising.
I LOVE the cherry bag!!!! I'm about to splurge :o)
I actually do read Kelly's blog and went to look for that very shirt and never found it. Now I know I can find it online! Thanks for all those cute tips. Love the handbags!!!! I'm going looking...
P.S. Your blog is one of my favorite things! you're awesome!
i love your list & am thrilled you liked the shirt too - it is awesome. and that pool is divine. what a dream!
Such a cute idea...and I love the purses with the cute danglies and rick rack trim! Also, I can't imagine why you'd rush down to paradise...just don't see it...sigh, I wish I was you.
I need to buy that shirt. I think I will get green. I love green, just like I love all the up and happening things you keep me updated on through your blog. You have such good taste in food, clothes, accessories, etc. That's why I have the same green purse you had on the blog earlier this year. I know I can trust what you give an opinion on and I like your style.
I like the collection!! Specially those gladiator sandals. I also have 2 pair of gladiator sandals.
That pool looks awesome! And I definately need to try the burgers! Love the cherry purse too!
I love, love, love that shirt and I am totally buying that tote bag. And, where do you live because we are coming over to swim (and meet you too of course) ASAP!
