hi there! it's jillian from cornflake dreams and i love summery drinks and treats. my signature drink is the classic mojito (the real reason i had my fiance add mint to our herb garden this year!) i love this simple recipe from the food network:: classic mojito. the mojito is fantastic because you can get creative with ingredients (pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry all make tasty additions).
what's your favorite drink?
xo,
jillian.
everyone, please say hello to jillian from cornflake dreams. jillian's a sweetheart with to-die-for style and a completely awesome blog. it's such a treat to have her visiting lifestyle maven today. hope you enjoy reading about her five favorites! oh, and if you miss me...be sure to check out my five favorites guest post over at her blog : )
city:: i moved to charleston, sc after college and i fell head over heels in love. the historic city is such a sweet and charming place and i would love to live in one of the many gorgeous southern homes. my stay in charleston only lasted six months but the city will always hold a special place in my heart. check out the design sponge chuck town city guide.
store:: west elm. i discovered this store a few months ago and was thrilled to find lots of affordable, unique and modern pieces. my fiance likes the store too--major bonus! i just wish they offered wedding registry :)
blog/website:: etsy. i have been known spend hours on this website... not sure how that happens but it does. a lot. i love discovering new artists and designers and this is the perfect place.
movie:: sense and sensibility. swoooon. i have seen this movie more times than i care to admit. i am a fan of jane austen and period pieces but this one tops them all. i love kate winslet as the passionate and romantic marianne and emma thompson wrote a fantastic adapted screenplay. the film was directed by ang lee and the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous. if you haven't seen this version do yourself a favor and rent it. you'll never see alan rickman the same way again.
thank you to cailen for having me! stop by cornflake dreams anytime for more fashion, travel and design inspiration. xoxo, jillian.
