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!

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
