Hello! Christina, co-owner of Adea, here with a few notes for you about what we have in store for you over the next few months.
We've made a few changes recently, like our new, improved website and a production move to some incredibly talented people here in the US. (Yay to more American jobs!) Also, we listened to your feedback and ...
I made an impulse purchase the other night – something I am generally not prone to do. After finishing up with a client in the shoe department at Lord & Taylor, I headed out the exit next to the handbag and accessory department and was immediately stopped in my tracks by the most perfect leather backpack that I had ever laid eyes on.
As the summer rolls in it is time to spend more time outside and less time plugged in. While my children would probably love it if the television reached the backyard, we make a big effort that we spend hours outside this time of year. After our harsh New England winter we all need it!
When it comes to finding delicious recipes, there's no need to reinvent the wheel. Taking a classic recipe and just adding a few little tweaks here and there can elevate it to an entirely new level. These banana bread muffins are one such recipe. With the addition of white whole wheat flour, they are healthier than our average muffin. Toss in some chopped walnuts for good measure and a nice crunch. Click below for recipe.
I was at a real loss on what to write about this week. My chaperoning of the Daisy Scout field trip? The end of the school year? Well, it came to me on Sunday afternoon when Lillyana got her bum stuck in a bucket. Yes, you read the right. Her rear end was wedged into a five gallon bucket that the kids had filled with water and were playing with.
Salads definitely came into their own within the past year or so, going from a bunch of wilted lettuce with a blob of dressing to composed and thoughtful dishes. But composed and thoughtful doesn't necessarily mean complex. This roasted romaine is a step above that tired old salad but takes little time to prepare and has few ingredients. It's simple while still big on flavor.
Summer is officially here now that Memorial Day weekend has come and gone and with that comes new arrivals to Adea.
By the first week of June we will have our new short-sleeve crew neck in stock!! This basic beauty will be your go-to topper to patterned ankle pants and beautifully printed skirts as the weather warms up.

Yeah, that was a Frozen reference - all you parents will get that. It's true, summer is "unofficially" here. I no longer need to spend ten minutes layering my children up in warm clothes. Now it's ten minutes of applying sun block. That's a win!
Color your world pretty with spring pastels like our chiffon extra long camisole.
Mocktails are a thing these days. Whatever the reason for skipping out on alcohol, composed and thoughtful drinks are a pleasant treat. The vanilla fig mocktail is fab for a variety of reasons. It's simple to make, using only 4 ingredients. It's also big on flavor, with sweet fig and vanilla combining with just a splash of lemon acidity to cut through. If you want to skip out on the alcohol, give this mocktail a whirl for yourself.
