Editor’s Letter

May is a month of change for me. I am completing my freshman year of college this Friday and have no plans for summer. I applied for quite a few internships, but I have a feeling I will not get any of them. And that is okay (it gives me a TON of time to work on District!). I bought an apartment, I will be headed back to FLA, and I really have no idea what the next few months hold. This issue is all about previewing the summer and talking food. We have articles on what to wear this summer, summer soul foods, summer recipes, and another reoccurring “Good Food Good Places” article. Our cover girl is someone who attends my school, hook ‘em! Her blog “A Lonestar State of Southern” has been a style inspiration to me and her and her boyfriend are absolutely adorable together! Her photos are the epitome of summer and we loved getting to know all about her favorite traditions of the sunniest months of the year. On another note, we are so sorry for publishing so late, I broke my laptop screen & we had some technical difficulties. However, we’re up and published now & hope you enjoy this months issue. We are looking forward to the June issue so keep up on our social media accounts! Summer is about to be upon us so stay up late, go to the beach, read a new novel, eat way to many s’mores, and always, remember to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and that District is “your right to a beautiful life.” Keep It Beautiful,

14 Things You Didn’t Know About...

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was born in the month of May. No wonder this month is so fabulous! Here at District we have a slight

obsession with the New England ginger who is the epitome of prep. From his candid photos on his boat to his wife, praise Jackie O. So below are 15 random facts you might not have known about one of our favorite, definitely the cutest, Presidents.

No1

He gave all his $100,000-a-year White House salary to charity.

He used the coconut husk on which he scratched his PT-109 res-cue message as a paperweight on his Oval Office desk.

Kennedy was a James Bond fanatic, his favorite was “From Russia With Love.”

Kennedy was the only U.S. presi-dent whose grandmother lived longer than he did.

He was the first president to dance with African American women at an inaugural ball.

JFK was obsessed with his weight so he traveled with a bathroom scale.

Kennedy used 16 pens to sign the Limited Test Ban Treaty on Septem-ber 24, 1963.

He bought 1,200 high-grade Cuban cigars the day before he was supposed to ban all Cuban im-ports.

Kennedy tried to learn French {Jackie O. was fluent}. He even appealed to Caroline’s teacher for help.

One of his legs was shorter than the other, this contributed to his chronic back problems.

He received last rites four times in his life: 1947 in England, 1951 in Japan, 1954 after having back surgery, & in 1963 in Dallas

JFK lived the first 10 years of his life in a suburb of Boston called Brookline.

He helped get the political thrill-er “Seven Days in May” made. He gave up the White House grounds for a week to film the

scenes.

During a speech in 1961, Kennedy was recorded as speaking at 327 words per minute, the fastest rate

of public speaking in history.

The current spring season and upcoming summer sea-son bring the promise of a wide array of light and dark

hued vintage and contemporary pieces, bringing the notion of contrast to the forefront. The fabrics for this summer combine style and comfort, straying away from materi-als that overheat the skin dur-ing the swelter-ing mid-July and August months. Meanwhile the summer’s colors elicit visions of outdoor activities, with Safari-esque neutrals (such as khaki) and vari-ous shades of maritime blues that take you back to the ocean even if you live miles away. Pale pinks, vibrant reds, and monochromatic shades

of black, grey, and white

Summer Fashion Preview

were also highlighted on the run-ways, in pieces such as coats, dresses, and suits. Breathable sheer fabrics were also a popular sight, especially in dark hues such as black and navy. The cuts for this season stray

away from the tight-fitting body-con dresses and pants of fall and winter, with flow-ing, billowing pants and skirts reminiscent of the 60’s and 70’s. From wide-legged jumpsuits

and pantsuits in mono-chromatic hues to flared denim skirts and dresses in every shade of indigo blue, the upcoming sum-mer fashion trends allow one’s legs to breathe and be set free. Women’s-wear for the summer season embraces the masculine, with androgynous ensem-bles such as pant-suits and skirt-and-blazer com-

binations. Ethe-real, feminine lace in shades of white and pale pink are also splashed across various de-signer’s runways, with cut out lace designs common in sleeves and skirts, as well as dresses. Bold, pop-color patchwork prints are common in outfits, bringing back the notion of mixing and matching in an eclectic manner, with various fabrics stitched-together to form single pieces of clothing. Paired with the glit-tering allure of whimsi-cal, nautical rings and earrings, along necklaces that toyed with classic pearl neck-lace and metallic choker design, the makeup trends for the upcoming season are laden with contrast, mir-roring the clothing they were paired with. This season’s makeup saw a stark increase in minimalistic, barely-there makeup. Going completely fresh-faced

in lieu of heavy foundations and brightly hued lip-sticks is in for the season, along with alleviating the skin of heavily caked on, powdery makeup in favor of lumi-nous, dewy natural skin. When colorful makeup was used

on the runways, it was used in the form of hazy, smoky eyes in every hue of purple from pale lilac to smoky plum, as well as the return of lip colors in reddish hues such as deep orange, scarlet, and rich berry hues. Blue eyeliner was also majorly popular on the runways, in lieu of the typi-cal brown or black liner

sported during the autumnal seasons. The upcoming summer season emulates an aura of individuality, tak-ing bits and pieces from the past and present to make looks that are truly singular, and com-pletely unique to

the wearer.

A Lone, SoutNative {and proud} Texan, Kate, has been blogging about fashion and life in the Lonestar state since her sophomore year in college. She started it

as a project that quickly blossomed into a way to

express her individual style. District caught up with Kate on the cusp of her summer vacation {hello lakehouse, goodbye finals}. We talked

the season, BBQ. white jeans, Paris, and so much

more.

How did you get started blogging? I had to start my blog as a class project during my sophomore year of college. I immediately fell in love with it, and kept working on it even after the class ended!

What is A Lonestar State of Southern all about? A Lonestar State of Southern is all about life, and particularly fashion, as a Texas girl. It’s about enjoying the world around you, having fun and not taking yourself too seriously!

How long did it take for your blog to take off?That’s a tricky question to answer, be-cause there was never a point where I stopped and thought, “Wow, this is big!” I still view it as a work in progress.

Are you working on any exciting projects?I am currently prepping for a very excit-ing project this June. :)

What do you want to do in the future with your blog?At this point, I simply want more time to devote to it! It’s so challenging to be a college student and a heavily-involved blogger at the same time, so I’m looking forward what happens when I’m able to give it my undivided attention.

What is your favorite thing about May?I absolutely love how busy it gets! In May, there always seems to be so many reasons to get together with friends, and the warm weather makes those moments all the better!

What are you most excited about for the summer?I’m really looking forward to travel-ing to some fabulous summer des-tinations this summer, and blogging about them, of course! :)

What outfit is your go-to summer outfit?White jeans, wedges and a colorful tank top!

Do you have any summer travel plans?Yes! Lots of lake house visits, along with a fun cruise and a beach trip to my favorite place on earth, Seaside, Florida!

What would your perfect summer day entail?Waking up at the lake house and spending the entire day out on the water. Popsicles and barbeque must be involved.

What are your favorite summer foods? I absolutely love all of the fruit that is finally in season in summer, and would be happy eating some form of seafood every day!

If you could choose one outfit to wear for the rest of your life, what would it be? If I had to chose only one outfit, it would be a flattering shift dress and a comfortable pair of wedges. I feel like you could get by most things in that!

What is your favorite fashion brand?Such a hard question to answer, because I love so many for so many different reasons! I stumbled across the brand Antik Batik in Paris over spring break and immediately fell in love. I’d have to say that’s my favorite brand at the moment. The color and crazy-fun detail in their accessories has me so excited for summer!

Where in the world would you love to do a fashion photo-shoot?I think Greece would be unbeliev-ably beautiful – white walls, crystal clear water, it looks like a dream!

How can we all be more like Kate?Never pass up a chance to eat fried chicken. And on that note, NEVER order a salad when there is another option on the menu.

How would you define your style?My style is definitely classic, with lots of color and a nod to current trends. I’m all about colorful pieces and out-fits that are feminine and fun!

Anything else to add?I absolutely love blogging and all that goes along with it, but the center and the core of me is my faith. If there’s one thing I want people to know up-front, that’s it. :)

From a young age I was shown great food, in some great places, which has lead to a strong love for delicious food and adventurous travels. Any-time I am in a new area, the first thing I do is look for the best restau-

rants to try out. After traveling much of the United States over the last 5 years, I can say I have visited some of the greatest dining spots around!

Good Food in Good Places By, Tiffani Grosser of Not Your

Average Southern Belle

Neighborhood Services is much more than your average gastropub. If anything, it’s gastropub paradise. From their delicately prepared cocktails, made by their ever so knowledgeable bartenders, to their divine desserts, this place can do no wrong. You can never go wrong starting off your meal with their famous meatballs, which are doused in a secret voodoo sauce and served piping hot or their tasty fried asparagus. It’s hard to choose a favorite main dish at a place like this, because there is no menu item that isn’t delicious… I know, I’ve had them ALL. Their desserts are the real treat about this place. There are a few desserts that rotate out seasonally, and a few that are there to stay, The Butter-scotch Pot de Crème, Devils Food Chocolate Cake, and Crazy Good Banana Pudding. Although these are all phenomenal, their newest dessert, the Coconut Crème Pie is their best dessert by far. The best part about their desserts? They are small enough that you can order 2 or 3 different ones to share and be amazed by all of them!

Dallas

Alma Nove, hidden away from the hustle and

bustle of inland Boston, in Hingham, home to two of the famous Wahlberg owned restaurants. Alma Nove is home to some of the freshest seafood and most wonderfully prepared dishes you have ever laid eyes on. Their salmon, served over black rice, is so tender and flakey; it’ll have you begging for more. The perfect companion to any meal is their creamy lobster mashed potatoes, you can’t go here and not order it because it is just that good.

Hingham

Genessee Royale is a

real treat in a rather empty area of KC, it’s actually in an old gas station that’s been remodeled into an eclectic restaurant. Their Raised Waffles are out of this world. Topped with blueberries, rasp-berries, strawberries, toasted almonds, and smothered with a warm maple syrup, these fluffy waffles really are to die for! They prac- ti-cally melt in your mouth. This is a must try in KCK!

Fountain on Lo-cust is a small, little diner

styled restaurant in the heart of St. Louis. If you’re looking for good eats and delicious sweets, this is the place for you! Give the adult grilled cheese, served with loads of cheeses and Fuji apples a try! When you are ready for dessert, The Standing Banana Split will blow you away.

St. Louis

The

Gristmill is not your typi-cal Texas diner. Nestled right on the banks of The Guadalupe

River, this multiple level, tree house style restaurant serves thousands of people who have been floating the famous Guadalupe River every sum-mer. You can never go wrong by hopping off the river and ordering a big helping of their giant onion rings. They’re fried to the perfect crispness and served right off the fryer! It’s hard not to fall in love with these.

Grruene

Gordough’s is not the typical donut shop. They have actually been operating from a trailer for the last few years, until they recently opened

two full service restaurants in Austin. They offer crazy good donuts cov-ered with things such as fried chicken, bacon, cream cheese, and tons of other craziness. No other donut even comes close to the delicious mix-tures the guys at Gordough’s come up with.

Austin

Casa Blanca is a small hilltop restaurant nestled away in the secluded ski town of Ru-idoso. This quaint little spot is inviting from the

minute you arrive in their parking lot. The Fried Green Chile strips are the highlight of any meal here. The tender green chile, native to New Mexico is fried and served with a few different dipping sauces that are all superb. The fried chilies are so good, you’ll keep coming back just for them!

Summer Soul

The onset of summer marks the onset of backyard parties and family potlucks and the need for a few amazing summer recipes. In my personal opinion, it is vital for women our age to have at least one go-to appetizer, side, and drink recipe on hand to wow a

crowd. I’ve decided it’s only polite for me to share my signature plates with all of you.

By, Sonia of Sisterhood Redefined

Three recpies to start to fuel your summer hunger.

Let’s start with appetizers! I love making bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed jalapeños bites. They sound complicated but I swear they aren’t. Here’s the recipe I use:

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Bites

1. Cut each jalapeño pepper in half and scope out the seeds. 2. Fill each pepper with cream cheese and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. 3. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each half pepper. 4. Place on baking sheets and place in 450 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or at least until you bacon is fully cooked.Mojito

Next, you need a cocktail! I’m partial to a refreshing mojito. I sometimes mix it up from the traditional recipe and use ginger syrup instead of sim-ple syrup or tequila instead of rum.

1. Muddle mint with a shot of simple syrup and a splash or two of lime juice in a highball glass. 2. Add ice and then add the amount of rum you want. 3. Top it off with soda water and enjoy!

Page 35: District May

35

1. Start a large pot of boiling water, preheat the oven to broil (500 F) and put a ¼ cup of butter in an oven safe skillet on medium to high heat. 2. When the butter is melted, sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of butter and whisk it for 2-3 minutes. 3. After 2-3 minutes, pour in 2 cups of milk slowly and continue to whisk it until it’s about to start boiling. 4. At this point your water should be boiling so cook about half a box (8 ounces) of small shell noodles for about 5 minutes. 5. You don’t want them to be fully cooked. 6. Pull the skillet off of heat and stir in about 3 and half cups of cheese – any type you want but I use a 4 cheese blend. 7. Strain your al dente (not fully cooked) noodles and slowly pour them into your skillet. 8. Stir it a little bit into your cheese sauce. 9. Sprinkle about half a cup of cheese on top of the noodles and lightly sprinkle a few bread crumbs to finish off your mac and cheese.10. Bake it in the oven for about 5 minutes and enjoy!

Mac & CheeseLast, a good side dish can easily be the star of a party! I love making skillet mac and cheese because who doesn’t like mac and cheese?? Check out my recipe.

The PerfectSummer BBQSix foods to start your summer BBQ off right.

By, Hannah French

Summer is just around the corner, so I thought I would

share with you all some of my favorite summer foods! I love summer be-cause there are so many outdoor activities to soak up and oh so many foods to enjoy. There is an endless amount of savory and sweet foods I could bore you with but I thought I would just share my essential six!! Happy Summer! xoxo

Fruit Summer is about livin’ it up in the outdoors. Whether you are surfing in the ocean or laying out by the pool, fruit is an essential must-have food in sum-

mer. Fruit is light and extremely refreshing. It’s also deliciously and perfectly sweet. Some popular summer fruits are watermelon (and all other melons), pineapple, strawberries, grapes and coconut. And we can’t forget enjoying a glass of cold, crisp lemonade.

S’mores If you’re like me, when you think of summer you think of campfires and s’mores. There are few things I love more about sum-mer than a perfect, ooey-gooey s’mores. While the traditional s’mores will forever be a clas-sic, try mixing it up with summer by making s’mores cookies or rice

Page 37: District May

37

crispy treats. Just type in s’mores on Pinterest and you will be granted about 500 different s’mores recipes that will make your mouth water.

Popsicles What is summer if you don’t enjoy a popsicle or two? Whether it’s a home-made pudding pop or a red, white and blue fire-cracker, popsicles are the perfect sweet treat while sitting poolside.

BBQ I’m from the South and, down South, summer hasn’t officially started until you have your first bar-becue cookout. Brisket, ribs, and sausage are the key ingredients to the perfect BBQ. Throwing some hamburgers and hotdogs into the mix doesn’t hurt either.

Corn on the cob Corn on the cob is the perfect compliment to any family cookout or as a delicious standalone snack! Grilled corn on the cob with a little dab of butter is absolutely

scrumptious.

Shaved ice First off, shaved ice IS summer. You can not have a proper summer without having at least one (or twenty) shaved ice. If I had to pick ONE thing from this list to enjoy this summer, it would be shaved ice.

With my time as a freshman ending, I thought it was time to reflect on my first year attending the

greatest university in the world...am I biased? No way! When I first arrived in Austin I was going through the rush {sorori-ties} and it was not the best experience for me. So moving in while simultane-ously not having good days was not ideal. Then my parents had to leave, during my emotional state after drop-ping out of rush, and I was not sure how being alone in a new state was go-ing to go. Thankfully it went ex-

tremely well and since that bad experi-ence I have hundreds {seriously there is one every day} of good ones. Freshman year is a year of new experiences, learning to cope without your family, and starting over from scratch {again you are the smallest fish in the HUGE pond}. I was really worried I would not fit in, or that I would not make any new friends, but thankfully it all worked out. One memory will always stick with me, because I made one of my best friends from the experience. It was my first night in the dorm with my roommate Devi and we decided to go to a game night in our dorm. I was still a little shaken up about my so-

First Year

rority dreams being crushed and she was trying to perk me up. We ended up playing Twister and a ton of people joined in. After that it was HeadsUp in which we were laughing so hard three more people joined the group because we seemed like we were having such a great time {shout out to Peter}. It was then that I met Barbara and we made plans to go see where our classes were the next day. I am eternally grateful for that game night. Devi and I bonded, Bar-bara and I became friends, and I met some amazing people. It goes to show that you do need to put yourself out there. It is one of the biggest pieces of advice I would give to any person en-

tering their freshman year. Go to the stupid events they put on for you and just talk to people. College is going to terrify you, if it doesn’t you either one of the tough-est people ever or you are lying to yourself. I tried to make it seem like I was not shaking in my {cowboy} boots but I was. Leaving home is scary whether that be for three hours by car or three hours by plane. But you will survive, and if you fail at something, anything, just brush yourself off and try again, you have got this. Was it the right decision to pick up and move myself to Austin to at-tend UT? OH HELL YES. Hook ‘Em.
