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%)

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!

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
