This past weekend Leslie went to Highlands, NC for the wedding of her friend Catherine. Friday night was a big rehearsal party/dinner and all of Leslie's Clemson friends were sporting Worlds Apart dresses. The girls look beautiful and we love that Worlds Apart is getting out and about!

Eclipse

In honor of the third movie of the Twilight saga being released into theaters last week, here are some photos of Kristen Stewart, Twilight's own Bella. Kristen has a very distinct fashion sense full of defined lines and funky patterns. So, take a bite out of these photos.

I had to throw this one in, too. Just because of his style, obviously.

Jorts

To jort or not to jort? That is the question. For those of you who don't know what jorts are, they are jean shorts. Drop the 'sh' from shorts and add the 'j' from jeans and "jorts" are created. I cannot decide if I am loving the jean shorts this summer or if I am just not that into them. I will say, they look great on some people and they carry a fun, summer, care free vibe with them. However, some peeps should not be sporting the jorts...agreed? Here are some pics to inspire you to try out the latest summer trend.

It's finally here...

Happy Fourth of July! Worlds Apart wishes you a wonderful day full of family, friends and freedom. If you're not kicking it by the pool or preparing for a cookout, come by Lexington Green and take a look at our sale. Have a wonderful day!

Patriotic Fruit Pizza

Ok, this fruit pizza is the bomb and one of my personal Fourth of July traditions. It is so easy to make and you can really use the fruit to create a patriotic dessert for this weekend's cookouts. For any non-Fourth of July celebration, you can add kiwis and grapes for a delicious topping. Hope you enjoy!

Fruit Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 package store bought sugar cookie dough
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup confectioners sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Flatten cookie dough into a pizza circle or a rectangle on a cookie sheet. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes until the dough is firm to the touch. Let cool completely. Mix the cream cheese and sugar. Spread cream cheese mixture over the cooled cookie dough. Decorate with the fruit. Refrigerate until set - about 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator.

It is delish! Watch it disappear!

Happy Birthday America!

We are so excited about the upcoming Fourth of July weekend. Full of cookouts, friends, American spirit and our annual Warehouse Sale...we think this is one of the best weekends of the summer. Here are some photos to get you into celebrating the holiday!

Purchase of the Week - Leslie

This is my most recent purchase from the store. It is a Michael Stars' tunic that is just awesome. It is so comfortable and I just love the color. Right now and into the Summer, I will wear it over skinny or regular jeans or pair it with some white pants and heels. I cannot wait for the fall though when I can put on some boots and throw my leather jacket over it. I LOVE transitional pieces! We have it in white and in this great color shown!
