Happy Hour: The Tropics in Winter

Mar 8, 2019

Have a bridal or baby shower coming up?  Need a fun cocktail for a birthday party?  Just want an excuse to get your girlfriends together for an easy Friday night cocktail?  Here is the libation that is perfect for all of those events and more.

Hibiscus Mimosas are the easiest drink on the planet.  Just ask Lively Table.  All you need is the champagne you prefer and a jar of hibiscus flowers in syrup.

The flowers sweeten up even the cheapest sparkling wine, and add a festive look to the drink.  They also freshen up the flavor with a hint of tropical sweetness.  The first time I had this cocktail (in an Italian restaurant in Anaconda, MT), I was instantly smitten with the pretty and tasty drink.  Now, it’s my go-to from brunch parties.

Want some gorgeous glasses to serve it in?  Anthropologie always has the best champagne flutes.

This affordable WAYF Rhoda Faux-Wrap Dress is perfect for bridal and baby showers.  It’s pretty, but relaxed.  Dressy, but with a sandal and bangles, still approachable.  I bought it to wear to my nephew’s baptism this weekend.  It’s a great graduation, family occasion, church dress.  Plus, it’s under $150.

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.
