9 Must Try Pinterest Pizza Recipes

 

I don’t know what my deal is lately, but I have been seriously craving some good pizza! I really love good tasting homemade or brick oven pizza too; which is hard to find in Southern Utah restaurants. Don’t get me wrong, we have some great pizza joints, but nothing has been exactly hitting the spot like I want it too. So, I did what any reasonable person would do and I turned to Pinterest for inspiration! I need some awesome pizza recipes to make at home! I found nine that are sure to please my craving!

These awesome recipes are listed clockwise (from left to right) – I can’t wait to try them out!

Baseball Tee + Spiked Statement Necklace

I need to be honest; I never wear a statement necklace with my outfits. Actually I almost never wear a necklace period unless it is something that is really small. The last time I think I wore an actual statement necklace, was probably in high school. I have a few long and layer necklaces that I wear occasionally, but that is really rare too. I really just don’t wear necklaces to begin with, which is weird because I have always been drawn to them and I have a bunch of different ones from throughout the years in my cabinet. 

I always find the most amazing outfit inspiration from either Pinterest or fellow bloggers. Just like Emily from The Sweetest Thing. I absolutely love following her blog, she puts such perfect outfits together and almost all of them (like the ones below) have a beautiful statement necklace that completes the outfit!"

I love Emily’s style and the way that she can incorporate a single necklace into multiple outfits! So, this inspired me to challenge myself into purchasing a necklace and wearing it a couple of different ways. If I am going to start incorporating necklaces into my daily style, then I have to have multiple outfits in which they will add that finishing touch too!

I went in search of a couple of statement necklaces. I found these amazing ones at Charming Charlie! Have I told you all how much I love that store? Well, I do! It is so awesome being able to go into a store that is not only color coordinated but has something to match every style! 

I can’t wait to put together some more outfits to wear with my Statement Necklaces! I am challenging myself to pick atleast two outfits a week that coordinated with a statement necklace! Wish me luck! 

Do you have any favorite Statement Necklaces you wear?

5 Tips & Tricks to Turning Summer Pieces into Fall Outfits

Having a wardrobe that is versatile for the different seasons is essential in my opinion. Because I love so many of my pieces and would hate to be able to only wear them for a single season before packing them up until next year. Plus, fall here in Utah decides to change its mind a lot. One day it will be 80+ degrees and hardly cool, while the next it is a brisk 45 degrees in the morning and a beautiful 70 degrees in the day. So, it is essential to be able to have pieces in your closet that will pair together if it gets a little on the brisk side at night.

Here are some of my tips and trick for taking a summer wardrobe into the fall season:

LAYER IT UP

Having an outfit that you can add pieces too is essential! Start with a basic and lightweight top, something neutral in my opinion. Add a sweater or cardigan, perfect opportunity to add some spice to the outfit with some beautiful floral or a wild leopard print. Then make sure to add a jacket that pairs with the outfit; neutral colors are my favorite. Last, adding a scarf is a perfect way to complete the layered look. Now if it is too hot outside for a scarf; I suggest adding a statement necklace for that finishing touch.

TIGHT

I love being able to pair that dress you loved all summer with a pair of tights. If your dress is basic, you can jazz it up with a fun printed pair of tights or you can keep it simple with just a solid basic pair. I love having a variety of tights in my drawer. I also make sure to keep a variety of thick and think ones too, because when it does get a little bit cooler, I love to wear my heavier cable knit ones with a dress and a cardigan.

SCARFS

These seriously are the perfect accessory to taking a summer outfit into the fall. They add so much detail to an outfit without having to add too many layers. I love the blanket scarf trend, because they are a little more bulky, yet they give a beautiful touch to an everyday basic top.

SWEATERS & CARDIGANS

I think these are the perfect layering pieces. They can add that warmth you need from the crisp air, yet you can take them off and still have a stellar outfit without it. I always make sure that my sweater or cardigan add to my outfit, but doesn’t compete with it. Plus, there is nothing better than having that perfect sweater or cardigan to keep you cozy and comfortable in the evening.

BOOTS

Boots are essential item for your fall/winter wardrobe. They are also the perfect way to transition an entire outfit from summer to fall. For instance; take a lightweight summer dress, add a pair of tights and some boots, perfect fall outfit. Another would be; pair your favorite skinny jeans with a printed neutral top and add a fun pair of ankle booties to it.

 

I love this little black dress I picked up at Forever 21 a couple of months back. I knew that it was a perfect piece to transition between different seasons. The weather here in Southern Utah is brisk in the mornings and evenings, yet it is 80 degrees in the middle of the day lately. So, I knew that I wanted a piece that would stand strong by itself, yet pair perfect with a sweater for morning and evening. I love the simple detail in the bodist of my dress, because it is just enough to add some flair and detail. Paired with this long fun printed sweater I bought from Buckle a few years back, makes for a perfect summer to fall transition outfit! The black tights and ankle boots were the perfect finishing touches that bring the entire outfit together, whether it be 80 degrees outfits or 45 at night!

Are You A No-Reply Blogger.?

There are a few things that I love about blogging, the obvious being that I love to share my favorite things with you. But, what I love the most about blogging is the interaction I get with my readers/followers. I love being able to meet new people and say thank you to those who comment on my posts! 

What makes me sad though, is when I get an email notification of a comment with noreply-comment@blogger.com, because I want to be able to reach out and say thank you for your sweet note! So, if you are currently using the Blogger Platform and you don’t have a visible email on your profile, then this tutorial is for you to change that.

Also, for anyone who is a blogger with an email that is visible, there is a TIP at the bottom to get connect with those who aren’t on the Blogger Platform. 

NO-REPLY BLOGGER COMMENTS

First, you need to start in your blogger dashboard. Then, follow the steps below to make sure you are not a no-reply blogger. Make sure to hit save on Step 4!

ARE YOUR BLOGGER ACCOUNT & GOOGLE+ CONNECTED

If your blogger account is connected to a google+ account, you first need to disconnect in order to be able to change this. You can re-connect them again afterwards, I promise. Start in your blogger dashboard. Click on the setting icon wheel. It is next to the language option at the top of your screen. Connect/Disconnect from Google+ and follow the prompts.

NON-BLOGGER PLATFORMS

Most of us, who are on the blogger platform, aren’t being fair to some of the no-reply bloggers. I read in this tutorial that blogging platforms such as Wordpess & Typepad have no way of changing their setting, because their platforms are set up differently than the Blogger. But, hold on there is a way to be in contact with commenter’s on a different blogging platform. It just takes a step or two more.

All you have to do is click on the name of the commenter in your email and/or dashboard. The name is a hyperlink that will send you directly to their profile, blog, or google+ profile. From there you can get into contact with whomever is leaving comments on your blog!

IF NONE OF THESE APPLY

But, if you are a blogger who doesn’t have a single email address set up that I can reach you at. Please do me a favor and leave your email at the bottom of your comment, that way I can get in contact with you and thank you for your sweet note!
