Most days it's all about a parka, black skinnies, and flats and then there are days when you just want to look and feel like a lady. Today was one of those days!

After years of spending more money than I'd like to admit on granola, I set out on a mission to make my own. The cool thing about doing this yourself is that you can be as random as you want, adjusting any recipe to fit your preferences. My end product was loosely based on this great recipe from The Kitchen Sink blog for those of you who need a step by step tutorial. I'm such a spaz in the kitchen; it would just be unfair to post the actual recipe I used - you'd probably end up with a complete disaster. But in any case, it was so easy to personalize my own granola that I vow to never buy granola again and encourage you to do the same! Sprinkle some over your morning Greek yogurt or favorite vanilla bean ice cream and you have a complete #win.

Please excuse my blinding white legs. Summer is almost here and pool time is so close I can taste it. Weened myself off the heavy rotation of black, white, tan pieces in my closet and whipped out this number. A little less morbid, a little more refreshing? I hope so!

P.S. When you have a best friend who always beats you in gift giving, you get personalized dress tags like this. She always wins.

Uber excited about becoming a contributor for Single Girl Dinner. Sometimes I find myself creating random little dishes that is satisfying enough to warrant a tweet or an instagram photo. But then there are times when I am feverishly searching for dinner inspiration and that's when I turn to SGD. I hope you join the conversation and check out my weekly posts for random, accessible, fabulous meal ideas! (#singlegirldinner)
