Happy Hour: Cocktail on the Cheap

Sep 26, 2014

Just because you can’t (or don’t want to) pay for the good stuff, doesn’t mean you can’t have on awesome cocktail party.  Cosmopolitan Magazine has ideas for how to use a cheap box of wine.  My favorite is the Muddled Melon, a mix of rose, chopped melon and lime, garnished with fresh mint.

Bailey Blue Off-Shoulder Dress ($42)

A little creativity can spruce up a box of cheap wine, and lovely dresses can be had for under-$50.  This Bailey dress is structured and modern.  It also defines the waist beautifully.

Thie slinky, black H&M dress is a great $25 option.  I love this draped DKNY dress.  And this Marni Weston dress has a classic, Issa feel to me.

Plus-size? This BB Dakota dress with lace insets is lovely.  Petite? This red dress with an asymmetric neckline is awesome.

    What a great price for that dress! Usually I find Nordies to be a bit high on the price scale, so this is refreshing!

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 […]
