Happy Hour: Thanksgiving in a Glass

Nov 24, 2010

This dress is so simple and ladylike.  It’s perfect for the Thanksgiving hostess who wants to inject a little Betty Draper into her holiday party.  I would add some gold bangles, a simple stud earring, and either a nude heel (yes, it’s okay for Fall) or a camel boot.
If you love pumpkin pie, you will love this pumpkin martini.  It’s smooth, and the perfect precursor to your turkey and cranberry sauce feast.  
Ingredients
1/2 oz cream liqueur
2 oz vanilla vodka
1/2 oz pumpkin liqueur 
1 tsp whipped cream
cinnamon stick for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Pour the liqueur and vodka into a shaker filled with ice.
Shake well.
Add the pumpkin liqueur.
Shake again.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass with a brown sugar rim (optional).
Top with a teaspoon of whipped cream (optional).
Garnish with a cinnamon stick (optional).

Happy Hour

    Hi Belle,

    I need some advice. I need sweaters, stat! I'm freezing out there and I did not buy sweaters at the beginning of the season like everyone else. Can you suggest some cute looks to carry me through the winter? I would love something more warm/cozy than the belted long cardigan. 🙂

    Thanks!

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year.  When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s.  But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back.  Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime.   My husband no longer notices the […]
