Cotton Candy Stripes & Sprinkles Cupcakes

Sometimes I have a relentless sweet tooth and I need to satisfy those cravings.  My husband thinks I'm addicted to ice cream and he's probably right.  Another sweet treat I cannot resist is cupcakes and luckily for me, Sprinkles is right in my neighborhood!  

Outfit details:

Pink and white stripe cold shoulder top (sold out in pink but still available in blue here and here)...similar pink version can be found here

These white denim jeans (similar here and here)

My favorite pink sunglasses (similar here)

Flat summer sandals (similar here and here)

Have you guys tried the pineapple upside down cupcake?  It's loaded with caramelized pineapple filling and topped with pineapple buttercream frosting!  Oh my goodness, it's heavenly!  I occasionally pick up a variety of flavors and bring them home for my family to enjoy.  Every once in a while I'll swing by on my lunch break and bring some back to the office for my co-workers!  They're usually gone before the end of the day because they are so yummy and irresistible and they make for fabulous sweet treats for office celebrations!

If you love to bake but don't consider yourself a pastry chef, like most of us, Sprinkles sells their cupcake mixes in these cute colorful cylinders.  Each container makes 12 cupcakes and includes the trademark modern dot decoration and frosting recipe!  Choose your favorite flavor from red velvet, dark chocolate, vanilla, or pumpkin and get your baking on! Don't forget, Father's Day is coming this weekend and cupcakes are always a great idea to help celebrate!

OK...enough about my favorite sweet tooth cravings and cupcake flavors!  You probably opened this blog post because you saw this cute pink and white stripe cold shoulder top and thought "I want one...where did she get that?"  I'm here to give you all the details in my shopping links below!  

I love wearing summer stripes!  When I saw this cotton candy pink and white striped cold shoulder top it immediately reminded me of summer...a  colorful beach boardwalk, pink and white striped awnings that decorate Palm Beach storefronts, and pink and white striped shade umbrellas that dot beach resorts around the world!  I just love the color pink!  

   

I decided to wear my white denim and some comfy flat summer sandals like these to complete this look keeping it casual chic.  This top would also look fantastic paired with blue distressed denim jeans or shorts and Converse sneakers like these for a casual look.  You can also dress it up with a nice pair of tailored sailor pants like this cute pair from J.Crew and some cute ankle tie espadrilles such as these which would be an appropriate and daring office look!.

Striped Culotte Jumpsuit

My husband loves to take our boys fishing in the San Francisco Bay.  You can catch everything from striped bass, halibut, sturgeon, perch, and a variety of sharks.  We usually launch our boat at the marina in Alameda by Coast Guard Island. The drive out to the main body of water is very scenic peppered with outdoor restaurants at Jack London Square, colorful houseboats, and a variety of cargo ships at the Oakland harbor.  

We had a great day catching and releasing a variety of fish, including a very large and feisty sting ray!  We enjoyed a picnic on our boat and some time in the sunshine taking in the beautiful views of San Francisco and the bridges.  As the sun began to set, the skies turned to a gorgeous cotton candy pink color and I couldn't resist capturing a few pictures at the docks.  I am wearing a Mimi Chica striped culotte romper and this white monogrammed sunhat from The Pink Monogram (last seen here).  Unfortunately, this romper sold out online, so I am sharing some similar options below.  

You can find my monogrammed sun hat at The Pink Monogram.  They specialize in all things personalized from bags, hats, shoes, and much more!  I always make sure I wear plenty of sunscreen when I'm outside and a sunhat to protect my face from the sun!
