Cindo De Mayo Margs

What are the chances that Cinco de Mayo falls on a Saturday this year? Woo Hoo! I've heard that the holiday was pretty fun in New York City, so I'm excited to see what all the buzz is about. My friend Julia is having a get together with a margarita bar! If you don't know this about me, I love margaritas. Like, kind of obsessed. She'll be having a variety of ingredients to muddle and fresh lime juice (no simple syrup).

Here are some other fun and unusual margaritas that I must try! And yes, I'm having a blog post dedicated to margaritas.

Bikini Season

This week is the week! I'll be flying down to Florida for Venessa's wedding and I'm beyond excited. I have my dress situation squared away (hopefully) and I'm pulling out the rest of my Summer clothes. As I'm starting to pack, I'm realizing that I need new bathing suits. Need is a strong word ... Ok, I WANT some new bathing suits.

Here are a few that I have my eye on.

Sidenote: I have been going through pinterest for some clothing inspiration, but I have a tough time figuring out where I can actually buy the items I find... am I the only one?
