Picnic Day Weekend!! What a great time to be in Davis! It is supposed to be a warm one this weekend in Davis, so here are a few suggestions we have to make the weekend more fun AND more stylish! First, we have been getting some great dresses in the store that will keep you cool throughout the weekend.

First we have a couple great dresses from Utility. Utility makes their pieces from canvas and are durable and super cute!

Then we also have a couple cute dresses made out of organic cotton from Prairie Underground.

We also got a really cute jacket from Prairie Underground that is sure to delight and be a great layer for the cool evenings.

In addition, we are expecting some cute sandals and flats from Melissa Shoes PLUS some great new sandal modeled after 1970′s clogs by a company called Hasbeens!

So, now that we have you covered on the clothing front, lets see if we can keep your thirst and dehydration at bay. While hanging out in the heat this weekend, maybe this fresh lemonade will help keep you cool.

images-4Classic Lemonade

If you like, scrape the pulp from a couple of the mashed lemon slices into a picher to make a more pulpy lemondae. Adding one tablespoon on grenadine turns the lemondate pink and imparts extra sweetness!

Yields about 1 1/2 quarts, serves 6-8.

10-12 Medium Lemons, scrubbed well, halved pole-to-pole, all halves sliced thing

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

Pinch of table salt (optional)

5 cups cold water

Mash lemons and sugar (and salt if using) in large, deep bowl or saucepan with potato masher or wooden spoon until lemon slices give up their juice, sugar is dissolved, and juice is thickened to syrup consistency, about 4 minutes. Pour half the lemon clices and syrup through large sieve over bowl or saucepan; press on solids with masher or back of wooden spoon to release as much liquid as possible. Discard solids; transfer liquid to serving pitcher. Repeat process with remaining lemon slices. Stir in water until blended. Chill well and stir to blend before serving, over ice if desired.

Have a GREAT weekend! Stay cool! Have fun!

p.s We are closing for Picnic Day in order to enjoy a Davis tradition! So drop in today to stock up on cute dresses, and then we will see you Tuesday.

Remember in the 80′s when Jelly shoes were all the rage? They were plastic, they were fun and they came in great colors! Well, thirty years later the same company who brought us Jellies is now doing adult shoes that are fun, funky, and comfortable! On their website, they say “Melissa transforms plastic spheres into objects of desire. An Authentic sculpture”. In the store we have some great great black clogs! They are squishy, comfortable and have a very chic look. We also have a blue, wedge heeled peep toe that is fun and flirty. Let us know what you think!bluevinyl2blackclogh1
