Behold the perfect summer dessert.  Light, fresh and so delish.  For all you pie-lovers out there, check out this Cherry Pie.  We have to credit our friend Judie, a.k.a. “Sweetie” for this recipe. Thanks “Sweetie”! We recently made this for a dinner party, and it was a big hit.  This cherry pie is so easy and is also a great thing to make with your kids.  They will have more fun playing with and rolling out the dough for the yummiest crust ever.

One of my product-loving friends turned me on to a perfume oil that I love. If you have ever worn Kai, you will love this new one, too. It’s called Leila Lou by Rosie Jane. Leila Lou perfume oil is made from 100% essential oils and is a perfect, fresh new scent for summer. We absolutely love that at Rosie Jane they use only 100% recycled and recyclable materials. Also Leila Lou does not even come in a box in order to reduce waste. Every lit bit counts! Also for every three Leila Lou bottles that you save and return to the company, they will send you a free bottle of Leila Lou. Love that! Leila Lou also carries body lotion, candles and eau de parfum.
If you live in the Fort, the only place you can find this loveliness is at Scentimentals (3905 West Vickery Blvd). If you haven’t been into the store, you should drop into this “product heaven.” They have some unique lines that you won’t find anywhere else in FW like Free Your Mane (awesome hair products), Finn & Co., and Shelley Kyle’s fragrances and products, not to mention clothes, jewelry, shoes, baby gifts and more.
Scentimaentals’ sweet owner is giving away a bottle of Leila Lou perfume oil to a Go to Girls’ readers. To enter to win, simply leave a comment and make sure that you are a Go to Girls’ subscriber. We’ll announce the winner next week.
Thank you Scentimentals!

Finding the perfect blazer can be a little tricky. So when we ran across this new line, Two Penny Blue, we were so excited to share it! Two Penny Blue is a new fashion brand that focuses on making beautiful blazers. This line is the brain-child of Marie Whitney and Erin Gates (love her Elements of Style blog). All of their jackets are made in the good ‘ole U.S. of A (probably most of the clothes in your closet right now aren’t). The cuts of the blazers are classic with attention to all the beautiful details. We love their gorgeous fabrics, too…hand-dyed Indian silks and woven linen and cotton from Italy. Lastly, we love the fact that Two Penny Blue is a company that gives back. For every blazer purchased, Two Penny Blue will donate a school uniform to a girl in Africa. Girl Power! Two Penny Blue also has bags, jewelry and umbrellas. Click here to shop their entire collection, and check out some their designs below…

I am all business when it comes to my sleep. I still sleep with the same 3 pillows that were on my bed when I was 4. Needless to say, what I wear to bed is crucial to getting my SOLID 8 hours of shut-eye. Truth be told, I am sure He would love for me to wear this…

I admit that look is cute, but sometimes comfy has to win out (I’m sure some of you will agree.). Because I’m a serious sleeper, believe-you-me, I’ve done ALL the research when it comes to finding the softest, yummiest, most comfortable things for catching my ZZZZ’s. Here are my all-time favorites:

The Diana

Hand-smocked gown with embroidered waves in various shades of green or pink. Fine white jersey, hits above the knee. The more you wash it, the softer it gets. In my opinion, this is a bit pricey for a piece of clothing that most people will never see, but these last forever and are insanely comfortable. Here’s the kicker…this line is not easy to find. There are lots of styles and variations. Neimans caries them in-store only, but you can purchase them at

My #1 girl alerted me to this adorable idea for the 1,285,799  ahhmazing drawings your precious babes tote home from kindergarten, day camps, museum school, art class and the like. (Personally, I have a stack on a shelf in my office to be framed that have been waiting on me since 2005…)

Child’s Own Studio can bring your child’s self portrait, monster drawing, or your personal favorite artwork to life as a stuffed keepsake. It seems there is quite a wait list for these adorable treasures, so you’d best get going to grab your spot in line! There is also a list of other crafty geniuses that do similar work on the Child’s Own site, if you’re not the patient sort.

A much cooler idea than the refrigerator gallery, or my office shelf.

It’s all about the “F” words on the Fourth of July: Friends, Family, Fun, Fireworks and of course, FOOD. Here are some of fun, festive foods that are getting us in the Fourth of July spirit (Are you totally goofed out yet? Have we gone overboard on the “F” words?). Check out this first pic. Imagine something healthy that people would actually eat (so much more fun than a spread of veggies).
