Hi folks! I don't have much to say, except I LOVE ice cream! Really, though, who doesn't? Ice cream is one of those treats that seems to be a universal favorite! Whether it is store bought, or homemade, ice cream is a comfort food people can not get enough of! I know I can't!
My love of ice cream started at a very young age! You see my birthday falls in the summer months, the Fourth of July actually! One of the things that I enjoy most about summer has always been the traditional summer cookouts. Cooking out is something my family especially loves! We always cookout in the summer months, and enjoy the company of each other. Having a birthday in the summer is even better! That means lots of burgers/ribs grilling, iced tea sipping, home made ice cream, & presents!
It's always been a tradition that when we had my birthday party there would be homemade ice cream! Now I'm not talking about just any kind of ice cream! Being from the state of Georgia, there's one summer fruit that's just as universal as ice cream....peaches. Winter peaches (yuck), but fresh Georgia, summer peaches are the absolute best!
They are especially yummy in ice cream! So, for my birthday ever since I was a little girl we would have home made peach ice cream! We have had other home made flavors, but peach seems to be the standard. Last year my Mom, Grandmom, brother, and I went to an actual peach farm to get pick our peaches to make the ice cream. That is really fun, picking fresh fruit (it's the simple things in life I enjoy most).
So, lets talk about two of my favorite loves: ice cream & fashion! Ice cream is not just relegated to an isle in a supermarket, it's also the treat of some of the trends of the day! Take a look at this picture:
All of these items are trendy in color, and style. Each of these also have an ice cream influence. Personally, my favorite part of this picture is the placement of the color pink! So pretty!
Take a look at these shoes:
The first one is by Betsey Johnson, and the second one is by Romance. If you look closely, both resemble the look of neapolitan ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry). Have a look at these clothes, both sets of these clothing styles have the neapolitan flavor!
As pretty as these are, there is a wrong way to wear ice cream influenced design! Notice both of these:
One is subtly wrong, the other not so much! In the second picture movie star Rachel Weisz is wearing an ice cream inspired dress that doesn't fit well with her skin tone! A word to the wise: too much sugar can you sick!
Ice cream is not just seen in accessories, and clothing. It also has an influence in beauty products! One beauty item, I think is really cute, are these soaps by Giddy Kipper, called Ice Lolly Soapsicles. www.notonthehighstreet.com/giddykipper/product/ice_lolly_soapsicles
Another product is by Dylan's Candy Bar. www.dylanscandybar.com
It looks like you could eat this, but you can't! These are bath and body products.
So, there you have it! The influence of my favorite sweet treat, ice cream! Until next time I leave you with this thought:
