Happy Friday, ladies! Can you believe Easter weekend is here?! This holiday has to be one of my favorites. So many memories of my childhood are centered on Easter.
Like clockwork, a week or two before Easter Sunday my mother and I would go on a shopping spree to buy a new dress, hat, patent leather Mary Jane’s, handbag, and gloves. Remember when hats were a requirement for ladies to attend church?
Although there were quite a few fashion statements made with wide brims, bold colors or even feathers wearing a hat to church was a symbol of reverence and respect. I miss the good old days!
But rest assured I still venture out to buy a new dress just for Easter. And I still love Easter brunch with a spiral honey ham as the main attraction and hot cross buns.
This year I’m only responsible for a side dish so I couldn’t resist making easy deviled eggs for Easter that will disappear into thin air in a matter of minutes! A simple yet refreshing cocktail is on the menu too. One that will give a Mimosa a run for its money—an Aperol Spritz. Oscar has stopped by to say hello so without further ado let’s get this weekend started!

Easy Deviled Eggs For Easter
1. Talbots Shirtdress
(Talbots)
For the past three years, I’ve purchased a shirtdress from Talbots and I have to admit this year was no exception. I’m loving the simplicity of this year’s dress with its classic black and white color scheme.
No frills, no drama but this dress will serve me well all through spring and summer. Add a straw belt, and patent leather sandals, and I am ready for Easter Sunday.

2. Aperol Spritz
An Aperol Spritz favored by the Italians is as easy to make as it is to drink. 3 ounces Prosecco, 2 ounces of Aperol, and 1 ounce of club soda is all you need.

3. Easy Deviled Eggs For Easter
Deviled eggs were a favorite of my dad and Mr. Style. There are lots of different ways to create this tried and true side but my favorite has to be classic deviled eggs with equal parts mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and relish as the only ingredients necessary.
To pipe the whipped egg yolks into the shell I simply grab a sandwich bag, snip one end, and you have an instant pastry bag.

Thanks so much for the fun reminder of Easter clothes shopper in years past. I do have to admit, I sometimes cringe when I see photos of my young self in the Easter hats ( Hats are not my friend), but I loved that time in my childhood, shopping with my mother and sister. I do love your black and white shirt dress. That belted style is my absolute favorite. It is on my “to buy” list Have a blessed Easter Beth!
happy Easter, Judy. He is Risen.
Very pretty dress – classic — and nicely styled. To me as well – a new dress and hot cross buns! I’ll wait for deviled eggs until after Easter so I can enjoy the colored shells as part of my Easter table. Missed Oscar getting an egg. Happy Easter.
happy Easter, Maeve. He is Risen.
I also remember the hats, gloves, and Mary Janes that went with my new Easter dress or suit. The shirt dress is one of my favorites, and Talbots has some beautiful ones. Yours looks lovely on you.
Have a Happy Easter,
Suzanne

Good Friday, Oscar!
I love, love this shirtdress and will now go look for it at my Talbots to try on. Adore B/W and also “dots” of any format or fashion. Thanks for the cocktail recipe and deviled eggs too. We served your Easter Cocktail recipe last year!
I too remember shopping for our Easter outfits and my sister and I often had matching dresses and yes the patent leather shoes….
I too will make deviled eggs for an appi but I have changed over the years and now dye, with all natural dyes, the egg whites in Easter colours to add a little extra. Have a Happy Easter
Happy Easter, Beth
He is risen, indeed! Love the shirtdress, so classy. Will Oscar be getting one of those deviled eggs?
Hey, Beth! Love your style and love this dress! Would it be appropriate for a wedding reception – country club/business casual?
