Happy Hour: Watermelon-Cucumber Cooler

May 30, 2014

Two words: Light and refreshing.  This cocktail has watermelon, cucumber, lime juice and honey for flavor, and vodka for kick.  This makes it an inexpensive cocktail to make because it doesn’t require a wide selection of liquor.  This drink is perfect for serving at parties and barbecues.

Paintrbush Stripe Dress ($89)

I like fun, colorful dresses for weekend parties.  This striped dress (also in blue and petites) is right up my alley.  This jersey dress, also from LOFT, has a candy-colored stripe that’s really fun.

This Lilly Pulitzer dress has a wisteria-colored print.  This Eliza J dress has a red print and a high neck halter that would also be good for a wedding guest or a rehearsal dinner.  This Cynthia Steffe cotton dress has a fun print and unique shape, it’s not for everyone, but it could be cute.  I also like the mix of neutrals and brights in this floral print dress from House of Fraser.

Plus-size? This bright floral print dress with a full skirt is a lovely choice, it also comes in misses size.  I also like this short-sleeve wrap dress from Land’s End.

Petite?  This Boden dress has a fun, bright print (also in tall sizes).  And this dotted Eliza J dress with a fun, pink hue is the best dress that I’ve seen in a long time (also in misses).

Happy Hour

    I bought the dotted Eliza J in blue last year but have been struggling on how to style it. I wore it recently but felt kind of blah (which is weird because it’s an amazing dress that fits great). I’d appreciate your thoughts!

  2. I loved the Cynthia Steffe dress!! Wow, such a cute style and fun print!! Thanks for sharing Belle..

    I think this is the first time I’ve already bought a dress BEFORE you posted it. I’ve learned well. 🙂

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.
