Happy Hour: The White Cosmo

Mar 15, 2013

This white cosmo recipe comes to us from The Kitchn.  It contains the usual ingredients but adds a bit of St. Germain instead of the more traditional Cointreau.  It’s the perfect cocktail for book club meetings, drinks with friends or just because it’s Friday.

Lanston Racerback Drape Dress ($165)

While it’s not warm yet, the start of Daylight Saving Time means that it will be here soon.   Maybe not soon enough for some.  But the promise of summer is enough to have me thinking about relaxed maxi dresses for weekends and casual dinners.

I like the drape front and racerback on this one, but it’s only available in a couple of sizes.  I found this drape front dress in midnight navy and this one in a subtler taupe.  If it’s the racerback you’re after, this black Rachel Pally dress is nice, and I love the kaleidoscope print on this one.  And if you’re in search of something with a bit of a sleeve, I dig this long sleeve pleated-skirt one and this navy cap sleeve dress.

If you’re looking for expanded sizes, Old Navy has a selection of maxi dresses in plus sizes and Saks has this fun geometric print one.  Petite ladies will find a lot of options at Ann Taylor like this ruched dress, this colorblock one and this pretty, sleek halter neck.

 Have a great weekend and a safe St. Patrick’s Day.

xoxo, Belle

Happy Hour

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
