A great way to create the perfect cozy ambience is to throw up some lights. Here, darling five and six got crafty and attached old soda pop bottles and origami onto some lights. They truly added that extra special sumthin' to our patio dinner parties. However you do it, don't forget to play some of your favorite tunes, sit back, and enjoy the meal.</span></div>firstdarlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07960616661387199852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866694398554940364.post-884488418953350882011-04-11T00:02:00.002-05:002011-04-11T00:11:50.681-05:00Tried and True<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SVOhNKnqGMo/TaKKULkJDVI/AAAAAAAADq8/pldenQDosBs/s1600/SJK_9629_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SVOhNKnqGMo/TaKKULkJDVI/AAAAAAAADq8/pldenQDosBs/s640/SJK_9629_1.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The quickest cure to our outfit conundrums is to pull out a classic and mix it up with something unexpected. Here, darling three pairs a classic chambray shirt with an adorable lace pocketed skirt; an easy and pretty fix that makes this chica spring ready. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Monday. xo.<br />

Do you remember the geode rock trend? This was so hot during my elementary years. Geode rocks are rocks with crystallized interiors. Their jagged edges and rough corners are made more beautiful from the kaleidoscopic colors of the natural rock. We would <i>rock</i> this trend by wrapping yarn around the rocks and wear them as necklaces. We had nearly forgotten this fad until lo and behold we found these:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On a day like today where the sun is nowhere to be found, this picture captures the kind of mood we're in. James Dean is truly one of the most original figures we have come to admire. He captured our attention in Rebel Without a Cause. His deep sense of self and ability to bring a dangerous carelessness in being the underdog/rebel give him that undefinable extra quality that continue to make him irresistible. Everything he did seemed honest and it's that truth to himself that we can't get enough of. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here are two of our favorite quotes:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

After all, life is a lot more exciting when we act with gumption. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We love these real life pictures of Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, and Katharine Hepburn, taking a break from the everyday demands of life to do something for themselves that's a little bit more on the adventurous side. Darling one relishes the feeling of the wind breaking against her skin during a fast bike ride. Darling four is euphoric when she sees dough rise to perfection for a new recipe. Running with the pups, Luna and Olive, puts some beautiful crimson onto the faces of Darling five and six. Darling two loves to try new places, meet interesting people and sing through laughter. And, Darling three's heart gets pumping when she finds the perfect one of a kind treasure after scouring through vintage shops all day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun." -Katharine Hepburn</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Pick the day.

Follow these steps and tips from Darling four's version of the classic lemon bar.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><b>Shortbread</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Crust 1 cup powdered sugar</div><div style="text-align: center;">2 cups flour</div><div style="text-align: center;">1 cup of butter, softened (2 sticks) </div><div style="text-align: center;">Pinch of Salt</div><div style="text-align: center;">In an electric mixer, cream the butter on medium-low speed for about 3-4 minutes. In another bowl, mix all dry ingredients together then sift well. Once sifted, sift again (sifting it twice makes the shortbread soft and easy to bite). Add half of the flour mixture into the mixer and mix with the butter. Once mixed well add the rest of the flour mixture until it turns into dough. <br />
<br />
Place the dough into a pan that is sprayed with non-stick. Press the dough flat and make it as even as possible. Put into the oven for 10 mins, then take out and indent evenly throughout the dough with a fork. Put back into the oven and bake until the shortbread is lightly golden on all sides. Don't overbake these treats or else it will be too dry and hard. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>FILLING</b><br />
4 eggs yolks<br />
1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar<br />
6 tablespoons flour<br />
6 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice <br />
1/4 meringue <br />
Separate egg yolk from egg whites and put egg yolks into a work bowl. Sift sugar and flour into the egg yolks and mix well. Once mixed, add lemon juice and mix again. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For the egg whites, put them into the electric mixer and mix on high speed until the egg whites are stiff to the point that you can flip it upside down and nothing falls out. (If you don't have an electric mixer then you can also whisk the egg whites.) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Put the meringue into the filling and lightly fold into the mixture (to make the filling light and fluffy). Add to shortbread and put back into oven for about 15-20 mins. Let it cool for 20mins. Chill for 2 hours and serve with confectioner's sugar on top.

We always get excited to see what trends will pick up with the warm weather. Darling three decided to focus on some of the historic trends that just keep coming back. Here's her take on the 70's look. Although she's not wearing the ubiquitous bell bottomed jean, her billowy top and oversized sunglasses capture the free and easy style that continues to allure.

</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes it can be a real challenge for the darlingsix gang to coordinate outfits between the sweltering Texas heat outside and the freezing air conditioning inside. We like to dress ourselves fabulously, but also sensibly. This fashion spread from Vogue Girl Korea, photographed by Jang Hyun Hong, gives us tons of inspiration on how to do it all. We adore the idea of dressing up a pair of shorts with furry vests and jackets all the while rocking some sweet polka-dot heels. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you guys are having a wonderful day. xoxo. </div>Darlingsixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635419733228513419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866694398554940364.post-16022531701169570052011-02-26T07:30:00.000-06:002011-02-26T07:30:00.640-06:00If I call you darling ...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LnMLXqt_ttk/TWRljtQjVWI/AAAAAAAAAS8/ZJxeYMheP_g/s1600/darling+%2526+pancakes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LnMLXqt_ttk/TWRljtQjVWI/AAAAAAAAAS8/ZJxeYMheP_g/s400/darling+%2526+pancakes.jpg" width="277" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The trick to making the perfect pancake is knowing just when to flip it over. It's only when you see air bubbles forming on one side that you flip the pancake (usually within 2-3 minutes on a medium high heat). For darling four's whipping cream recipe all you need are three things: 1/2 cup of whipping cream, 2-4 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar and a mixer. If you like it sweet, feel free to add more sugar. Combine the two ingredients and beat them to airy perfection with a mixer. It's that easy and it tastes so much better than the cool whip stuff you can get from the grocery store. We're still licking our fingers from the sticky goodness of these pancakes. Bon apetito! xoxo.</span></div>Darlingsixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635419733228513419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866694398554940364.post-41453169189568135622011-02-25T22:07:00.000-06:002011-02-25T22:07:13.223-06:00Because we love ...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-NPPRr6C23l0/TWh4GI7se7I/AAAAAAAADn4/iwW-7hPe7LQ/s1600/love+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-NPPRr6C23l0/TWh4GI7se7I/AAAAAAAADn4/iwW-7hPe7LQ/s400/love+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Given to darling one as a Christmas gift, darling five presented this courageous lion to inspire. We love his checkered cape and all the painful attention that went into the details in his paws, fiery red mane, and tail. Safe to say, he'll be around for a long time, keeping the darling six gang's deep sense of bravery in tact.

It's interesting to see how its evolution has followed the emancipation of women. We can be whoever we want to be and live our life on our own terms today. Darling three takes it to another level with what could have been a casual look by pulling up her style with this chic ivory wool blazer. Whether you want to dress it up or down, the blazer comes with so many options. We love her cool girl style.

Paying homage to some of their favorite characters and super heroes, darling three and five wear them on these t-shirts with great pride and affection. And just in case you were wondering, these two are the biggest comic book nerds you will ever meet. So whether you're team batman or superman, don't be afraid to show the world the things you love, even if they're comic book related. xo.</span></div>Darlingsixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635419733228513419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866694398554940364.post-34553365791333345512011-02-14T00:10:00.002-06:002011-02-15T16:09:02.371-06:00Chain of Paper Hearts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5H4roeq0aTo/TVjAU33rMpI/AAAAAAAAAR8/p8eGKtEjtk4/s1600/P1060488_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5H4roeq0aTo/TVjAU33rMpI/AAAAAAAAAR8/p8eGKtEjtk4/s400/P1060488_2.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On a day like today, attention must be paid to love. Darling five cut out these paper chain people and in the spirit of Valentine's Day, added some bright hearts and distinguished mustaches. We like to think that all of us give special attention to those we love on every occasion, not just because of a holiday. So whether you celebrate it big or like to keep it simple, don't forget about the little things that make every day a little more love-ly. Hope you enjoy some of our favorite little snippets of love found in the pictures below. xoxo. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Since it rarely ever snows here, the darling six gang couldn't get enough of the wintery white view that stretched out before our eyes these past few mornings. Darling five manages to look cute and smart with her scarf and headgear. We love the juxtaposed pairing of shorts and tights, all cinched together with dark ankle boots. Darling five is definitely a gal we'd like to hang with on a cold winter's day. Stay warm.</div>Darlingsixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13635419733228513419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866694398554940364.post-69521491435027485022011-02-03T23:26:00.003-06:002011-02-08T00:37:02.745-06:00Orange Cake Zing!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XDSd29glFmU/TUuIbWqsZtI/AAAAAAAAARU/N2A93Zz07Us/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XDSd29glFmU/TUuIbWqsZtI/AAAAAAAAARU/N2A93Zz07Us/s320/1.jpg" width="213" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XDSd29glFmU/TUuIdIWzZWI/AAAAAAAAARY/J4sOFbCprkQ/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XDSd29glFmU/TUuIdIWzZWI/AAAAAAAAARY/J4sOFbCprkQ/s320/2.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />

This cake amazed us with all of its bursting flavors . The sweet creamy notes are complimented with just enough zing from the orange rind flavoring in the light and fluffy icing. Another great thing: the cake topping is up to you. If you haven't noticed already, us darlings can't say no to fresh fruit on our sweets, but that's just us. So add whatever your heart tells you will be delicious. On a side note, if you happen to encounter a cold winter's evening, hot cocoa as this cake's company will make your taste-buds sing with joy!

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Darling five got into the crafty spirit and decided to make a cute blue dinosaur for Darling Two. We just love Augustus's spots, wide smile and the whimsical touch of his checkered bow tie. He may be the preppiest and sweetest dinosaur we have ever seen. And just when you think it can't get better, the yellow plates on his back really complete his form. Rawr!
