Stylist Kristin Rapisardi of Lustre Theory is blowing our minds right now with her version of a 60’s Mod ice cream bridal shower! The fact that it combines amazing colors, macaron ice cream sandwiches and everyone’s favorite vintage era, equals only one thing? Pure magic of course with a cherry on top!
Kristin used color to define this classic look. Bright, bold color is splayed in geometric patterns and vintage influence and focuses on color blocking, hints of bright yellow, orange, pink, and pastels.
Not wanting to copy the well known Twiggy style, the team added a more playful approach to makeup and the use of color. Different elements of the 60’s hair and makeup trends were chosen for the models, voluminous hair, lots of eyeliner and large bright accessories.

Hands up who know it’s national strawberry shortbread day on the 14th June? We’re normally rubbish at remembering those days and only tend to find out about them when it’s too late, but not this time my friend! Oh no, we’re hitting you up with this recipe a whole 2 days early so now you can enjoy this tasty treat we whipped up on the actual day too!
YOU WILL NEED:
1 cup of fresh chopped strawberries // 1 cup of vanilla flavoured natural yogurt // 1/2 teaspoon vanilla // 1 tablespoon of butter // half a cup of milk // 1 cup of shortbread (grounded in a food processor) // Lolly moulds //
STEP 1:
First, whisk together your yogurt, vanilla & milk until smooth. Then mix in your strawberries!
STEP 2:
Divide your mixture between each of the ice lolly moulds, you’ll need to leave about an inch from the top of your moulds ready to later add in your shortbread crust. Then when you’re done, pop them in the freezer for about an hour.
