For the next four weeks, each of the Happy Hour posts will feature a holiday-themed cocktail. Given my hatred of Starbucks’ Red Cups and holiday music, this is as close to Christmas cheer as I get.
1 oz Vanilla Vodka
1 oz Hazelnut liqueur
1/2 oz Butterscotch Schnapps
2 oz Ginger Beer
Cinnamon stick
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker and shake over ice. Pour over ice into a rocks glass and garnish with Cinnamon stick.
J.Crew Brown Sequin Popover ($325 + 30%-off with code GIFTS)
Instead of a cocktail dress, I thought I would put up this chocolate sequin pullover. It would look lovely with ivory dress pants, a cream pleated skirt or over a grey chiffon strapless dress. It’s casual, but the sequins keep it cocktail.

I happened to read this as I was rocking out to Mariah Carey's “All I want for Christmas is you” while drinking a delicious peppermint mocha out of the delightful Starbucks red cup – BLISS! Happy Friday!

Wow, a sweater from JCrew!

TT- I get a lot of requests from readers for non-dress holiday attire. So I posted this, if you don't think it's original or stylish or worth your time, feel free to read elsewhere.
Virginia-I am glad we no longer share office space. Damn Mariah Carey and her Xmas music. Damn holiday cups.
Erica says:
love the sweater!

Love the sequin pull over, Belle! Refreshing to see something that isn't a glittered dress.

I am so excited to try the Spicy Gingerbread Man! Have you ever tried it with just ginger ale instead of ginger beer? I'm having a holiday party this coming weekend and I'm worried the ginger beer might be too strong for some of my friends.
