As I prepare for my potential promotion, I planned a new ensemble in light of our recent *Independence Day* and this ☼summer☼ season …

Nautical: * red * white * blue

White pants {Emma Ankle} are suitable between *Memorial Day* & *Labor Day* + the red button down top made the cut {both by Liz Claiborne} topped with the navy blue & white 3/4-s cardi {by St. John’s Bay}

with the *stars* and =stripes=

Sterling silver sailor steering wheels & yellow gold anchors for my ears pair well with this *star* denim tote bag (also perfect for the beach) with tan braided handles {by Mossimo} for my portfolios

plus anchor and sailor steering wheel!

Apparently, my nautical inspiration extends beyond my outfit ~ after I set it out with accessories on ☼Sunday☼, I watched HGTV‘s Beach Flip premiere that also featured similar designs!

Now should I wear a * red * white or * blue handbag & shoes?

Scratch wearing the white slacks ~ late-breaking, thunder-breaking: we’re getting another storm in!

… Dog!

{Disclaimer: If you’re a vegetarian, then you may benefit by withholding from reading the rest}

Just in time for the *4th of July*, the Hut has released Hot Dog Pizza!

I tried the Hot Dog crust earlier this week

My version of a spaghetti pizza: Hot Dog Crust * Meatballs * Mushrooms … Thank you, Pizza Hut!

Let me start with 1 of each, please …

Time to dip … And pizza was never the same. I love marinara sauce, but now I’m a fan of mustard with pizza! Wtf (what the flavor)?

and took it up a notch with the Pretzel Hot Dog Pizza last night!

Salami to the left, Jalapeño the right … Spicy ♥Cupid♥ ♪Shuffle♫ There goes my low sodium intake!

Succulent slices!

C is for … Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza!

They paired well with my guilty pleasures as I took a break from doc stats and teaching duties!

I call this the Melo P.I.: 3 parts OJ to my last 2 parts of Midori + Pineapple (Melo short for Melon Midori & because I was mellow when I made it + P.I. short for Pineapple/Piña & Philippine Islands because I was watching Island Hunters that featured Palawan from my native country and Beachfront Bargain Hunt in South Padre Island near my former neck of the woods ~ both on HGTV)

I was happy when Little Caesar’s came out with its Hot-n-Ready Pretzel Pizza

as featured in Fight Night earlier this year
also enjoyed during Movie Day with Evie

White Mountain Dew for yours truly & Classic DP for Evie + Little Caesar’s Hot-n-Ready Pretzel Pepperoni for us!!! #score

Dipping into Garlic & Cheese Sauce ~ a Pizza-♥Lover♥’s Dream! #PizzaPizza

Now the latest pizza that I’ve tried combines the best of both YOLO hemispheres ~ let’s celebrate a ☼summer☼ favorite!
