Weekend Cocktails


It's almost the weekend! Was it me, or was this a really long week? 

We recently tried 2 interesting cocktails that we wanted to share with you. Let's be serious, who doesn't look a good fun cocktail on the weekend?





Blackberry Ginger Margarita
Mulled blackberries & Sugar
1 oz. Tequila 
1/2 oz. Cointreau 
1/2. Ginger lime syrup 
(if you can't find the syrup, you can blend ginger, sugar and lime juice - just as good!)

Directions: Combine all ingredients in rocks glass with ice. Shake vigorously. Crust rim of glass with ginger salt and pour margarita back into glass.Squeeze lime wedge then drop in drink.



Champagne Mojito
Mint Leaves
2 oz. rum
1 oz. lime juice
2 oz. chilled champagne
1 lime or orange wedge

Directions: In a highball glass, muddle the mint leaves with the Simple Syrup. Fill the glass with ice, add the rum and lime juice and stir gently. Top with the chilled Champagne and garnish with the orange twist.

Cropped

How do you guys feel about crop tops? I have found so many beautiful tops that I'm insanely obsessed with but I am trying to find the best way to wear them (I feel like they are pretty hard to pull off). Thanks to pinterest (my ultimate distraction and procrastination enabler) I have found so many looks that I love.  I really, really, desperately need a pretty lace one...

Thoughts?

Gold + Mint

It's officially Spring! It's supposed to be 72 degrees in New York  today. I've seen so many bare legs & jackletless people today, that one would think it's already June. In celebration of Spring, I have been taking out all my pastel essentials, including this mint green nail polish. Giving myself a homemade manicure last night, I am really loving a mint green & gold combination. What do you think?



And, a little mint green & gold combo inspiration for you.
