I’m not much of a drinker because a) you can’t do a keg stand in a dress and b) I’m clumsy enough sober.  But I do enjoy a good cocktail.  Thus, I’ve decided to create a new post called the Happy Hour. 

Each Friday, I will post a cocktail dress and the recipe of a corresponding libation. This week, I’m embracing the sunshine and Summer with a yellow hued dress of smooth silk and an effervescent cocktail that’s perfect for an evening on the patio.
