Happy Hour: Tequila and Lace

Apr 15, 2011

Nothing says lazy summer nights like white lace.  This summer, a friend from college is getting married in her parent’s hay barn and the rehearsal dinner is going to be held al fresco.  So when she asked me to help her find the perfect dress, I knew exactly the one.

BCBG Lace Sleeveless Dress ($238+20%)

Click the box in the right hand sidebar to save 20% with code Capitol20.

Breezy and summery with it’s paneled lace, it’s perfect for sipping a cocktail at sunset.  And there is no better cocktail to sip during a quiet dinner than a Chapala.

Chapala

9 parts Tequila (I like Patron.)
3 parts Lemon Juice
3 parts Orange Juice
1 part Grenadine
Dash Orange Flower Water 
Orange Wedge

Fill a shaker with ice cubes. Add all ingredients. Shake and strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with orange. 

It’s like summer in a glass.

Happy Hour

    Could you do a line up of different priced lace dresses? Anthropologie has one, but it is more of the Staffer level and I'd really like to know if there are any out there that are Unpaid Intern status. Thanks!

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 […]
