{guest post} - ten scenic drive.

Hi readers of Cornflake dreams, I'm Kristin and I am so excited to be guest posting for Jillian since she was one of my first "blogger" friends I met when I started blogging just a few months ago! If you read my blog, ten scenic drive, you know that I love fashion, food, planning parties and being outdoors! Memorial day is one of my favorite weekends to kick off summer by bbq'ing, sipping delicious cocktails and hanging out with family and friends. Here is my inspiration for the perfect Memorial Day weekend celebration with delicious food, friends and a great outfit of course.

Since I grew up on the east coast near the ocean, my ideal party would be a clambake bbq on the beach! Complete with crabs, lobsters, burgers and dogs, grilled corn, lots of salads and campfire s'mores for dessert. And no party would be complete without some fruity summer cocktails - watermelon sangria and jello shot-filled strawberries! Yum!

Easy breezy is the outfit of choice for a bbq on the beach, a super cute bikini with a comfy cover up, perfectly accessorized.

And I wouldn't mind winding down the night here in this perfect outdoor movie theater...LOVE THIS!

Whatever your plans, I hope you have a fantastic long weekend welcoming summer! Come check out ten scenic drive for more of my inspirations on fashion, food and just about everything inbetween. Thanks so much for having me Jillian!
