Lemon Girl
Lemon Girls are not who you think, not sour, just sweet, fresh, bold, light and fun!
Here’s the inspiration we gathered:
The lemon aesthetic is designed to feel effortless and fresh. We imagine her in sun dresses and hats, we selected these items from Joe Fresh. Joe Fresh is also available through Rakuten which allows you to get cashback when you purchase through the site — when you sign up you can also get $30 back when you spend $30 or more on your first purchase! (at this time Joe Fresh is offering 2% cash back).
If yellow isn’t your colour, there’s always ways to add a pop lemon into the mix, by using accents. Whether it’s your nails or a scarf it’s a simple way to bring some bright tones into your look — yes I see you monochromatic girlie, you can do it, add some colour. We can’t forget shoes! We’re eyeing up the Fenix Desert Sandal From Lemon Jelly, of course.
When it comes to beauty, you want to enhance your golden glow and feel fresh, we love Caudalie as a brand, but we think we may as well stay with the sunny theme and use the Caudalie Soleil des Vignes and the Huile de Soin Soleil, if you are unable to find these the viral Nuxe Huile is also a great alternative and can be found at Shoppers Drug Mart.
After our Golden girl is back from her shopping we picture her out on the patio reading some light hearted romantic books, before she preps for another al fresco dinner.
Here’s what we think she’s reading:
For our lemon-y hosts we’re picturing her sipping on a glass of lemon water as she prepares in the kitchen — she knows sipping on this will help with digestion and hydration, she’ll also put a carafe on the table during dinner.
As for cocktails, simplicity is key, but she’ll offer two cocktails that look intentional and complicated.
Limoncello & Tonic
1.5oz of Limoncello, top up with Tonic Water (we like Fever Tree)
Garnishes include, spring of rosemary or olive on a pick
Limoncello & Raspberry Spritz
1.5oz of Limoncello, top with Prosecco
Muddled Raspberries at the bottom of goblet
Bonus Lemon Spritz Here!
On The Dinner Menu, It’s a super simple Lemon & Arugula Salad with Lemon Garlic Chicken and For Dessert Lemon Posset.
Lemon & Arugula (or Rocket) salad:
Lemon Juice
Arugula
Olive Oil
Parmesan
Black Ground Pepper
Depending on your party size the ratios vary, we suggest doing it lemon girl style and just going with your gut.
For Dinner, we selected the Roasted Garlic Butter Chicken with Lemon Dressing from Half Baked Harvest, because who doesn’t love a sheet pan dinner that tastes absolutely incredible. We’ve provided the link here for you to visit!
And of course there’s always room for dessert!
Lemon Posset is probably one of the easiest desserts, next to Eton Mess and Fresh Fruit. Here’s what you need:
Heavy Cream (aprx 475ml)
4 Lemons (to make 6 possets)
3/4 Cup of Sugar
5 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice (which you can take from the scooped out lemon & zest of 1 which is why you need 4 lemons presentation is key)
Heat Cream & Sugar slowly to a boil, once hit boiling point take off the heat and add you lemon, let it rest for 10mins and then pour into Lemon Shells, place in fridge from anywhere from 1 hr to overnight. If you want to get fancy you can garnish with: mint, berries or cream.
