Happy Hour: It’s Going to Be Meyer (Lemon)

Mar 20, 2015

One of my favorite cocktails is served at Poste in D.C..  It offers flavors of lemon and basil.  I’m hoping for something equally magical from this rosemary and lemon cocktail from Design Sponge.  Though I’ll have to swap the gin for vodka (stupid allergies).  With herbal and citrus notes, this cocktail is perfect for the transition between winter and summer.

Asos True Violet Bardot Pencil Dress ($106)

Yellow is a hot hue for spring.  This Asos dress gives a bit of the sunny color with a glamorous, Old Hollywood look.  For cocktail, I also like this yellow, lace shift from Topshop and this sweetheart strapless dress from eDressMe.

Looking for something more casual?  This Gap fit-and-flare sundress (also in petite) is affordable and fun.  This yellow Kensington dress from Boden is fab.  This yellow-printed dress from Boden (also in petite) is also fantastic.

Plus-size? This printed peasant dress from Tahari is a great piece.  I also like this cap sleeve dress for summer weddings.

Happy Hour

    That dress is absolutely gorgeous – so sad that it’s completely sold out… what I wouldnt do for it!

  4. Becky says:

    Belle, do you think that dress is appropriate for a wedding, given the amount of white? I have such a hard time with deciding on that issue.

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 […]
