Fresh, Organic Summer Pasta Salad

It's that wonderful time of year- BBQ's, showers, brunch, birthdays and any other occasion to get together for a picnic style gathering.

I often find myself wondering what to bring that's fresh, healthy and delicious. Surprisingly, this salad encompasses a complete meal AND it's very low in fat calories :)

I'm happy to share it with you...
(All ingredients organic and from a local farm produce stand if possible)

1 lb of pasta, cooked and cooled
1 pint of mult-colored cherry or grape tomatoes, cut into halves
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
3/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
1 small cucumber, cubed
1 tbsn e.v. olive oil
1 tbsn white vinegar

*Toss together after the pasta and eggs have cooled
*I used Collezione pasta noodles in this recipe.
*refrigerate for at least 1 hour

*ENJOY* :)

I'm so thrilled to share with you that we love our new home in Clearwater!
We have met so many wonderful ladies who are really happy to have found "the secret treasure" nestled off the beaten path in the downtown Clearwater area. As a resident of this area for the past seven years, I have always found it to be a challenge to find a generous selection of boutiques and consignment shops. So if you've ever shared this feeling, I sincerely hope that you visit us and enjoy our great selection of clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry and home furnishings.

Thank you zillionz to Ms Robbyn Mitchell, Tampa Bay Times Staff Writer, for taking the time to visit with me and hear about Shop Fresh Threads, our move, what we have to offer and of course, loads of cuteness about my son Gavin! Read the full article here! :)

How & where:
I met Robbyn at The Eye on Fashion 2K15 hosted by The Fashion Movement by way of my very dear friend and business consultant, Ebony Grimsley-Vaz of Above Promotions. If you have never heard of The Eye on Fashion Stylist competition, you should check it out! It's a great show which features stylists from the U.S. competing in the categories of original design, styling and an "out of the bag" styling competition. The stylists are scored by professionals in the related field while in front of a live audience. The "out of the bag" portion of the competition is sponsored by Shop Fresh Threads (that's us!) and all of the clothing is picked out by lil ol' me. The stylists are unaware of the bag contents and must pull the items out in real time in front of the audience to style their selected model. It's really fun to watch!

2015 Spring Trends

On Wednesday, February 11th, the Runway Translator held a great #2015 #spring #trends #fashion show at Neiman Marcus in #tampa!

I'm personally excited that #boho #bohochic #fringe #mixdontmatch and #flats are IN!

My favs were these #rebeccaminkoff bags, an off white tunic (not pictured) and lots of flats!
