Change It Up

You probably know by now that I love hosting but sometimes I catch myself making my normal go-to's and not thinking outside the box enough; like my Spinach Dip. So I've been doing some research on unique food and drink pairings for my next gathering. Because good hosting takes some effort. Leave it to Kate Spade to once again, totally nail it. I pre-ordered "All In Good Taste"  about five months before it's release date and it truly is amazing. 

Here are a couple of my favorite pairings from this book:

-Martini & Swedish Meatballs (how could I not add a martini?)

-St.-Germain + Champagne & Sliders

-Minty Gimlet & Tomato Brushetta 

This my friends is the winner! I thought the combination was so unique. 

Minty Gimlet:

2 oz Vodka
2 limes
mint
1/2 oz Simple Syrup

Throw about 10 mint leaves in the bottom of a shaker, add lime juice and syrup, muddle just a tad not too much, toss in a hand full of ice cubes and vodka. Then, just strain into a martini glass. Or if you aren't feeling fancy add everything to a highball glass. 

The flavor combination between these things was absolutely amazing!! The Gimlet was on the sour side which is right up my alley. If you like sweeter drinks add more simple syrup. I highly reccomend this for your next get together.  

Have a fabulous Friday Pretties! xoxo  

Pink Is Always In Season

It's no secret that I love shoes with a deep passion of my soul and...sole. Haha! In my post "Time For A Dip?" I showcased my fabulous blue shoes. Well I loved them so much I decided my life just wasn't complete without the same one's in pink. 

Keeping this post short and sweet I've made a fast color guide for this fabulous pink color that will carry me through Spring. These are a few of my favorite pink color combo's. 

• Pink and Navy
• Pink and Green
• Pink and Red
• Pink and Grey

I was also in need of a new scent to so that I can switch up my usual Chanel. I went with Lola by Marc Jacobs. I knew I liked it because I've given it as gifts before. I feel like it's a nice inbetween casual and dressy.

February Favorite's

One thing that I used to do here was my favorite thing's of the month. I really enjoyed doing it and when it was my blog's birthday I revisited the idea and decided to start it again. Of course with tips to match. 

February is cold and icky and I'll be glad when it's gone. Now that I'v gotten that out of my system let's talk my latest loves. From shoes both heeled and flat, smell good and shiny, good pairings, bralettes and stripes. This month has all the thing's I can't get enough of. Here is a sneak peek! 

note: things not listed are my new treadmill and COFFEE NINJA BAR! It was a big weekend to say the least. 

Stay tuned for #tuesdayshoesday tomorrow! xoxo
