Fluffy & Fizzy

Happy Friday!!

Most of the time Runway looks are a little out there and hard to wear in daily life. Having said that today's Martini Moment is how you can add this easy to wear runway wardrobe with this amazingly fast and simple DIY. Head to Hobby Lobby or your favorite craft store and buy some marabou. It might cost you all of five dollars. So the part I loved about this is that I took a pair of sandals that I haven't worn in like 7 years and repurposed them.  

All you do is get out your hot glue and go back and forth with the fluff. Bam! In about 10 minutes you've got an inexpensive hot new trend. Thanks Kylie Jenner! Haha kidding. But really she does have a pair.

Well it is Friday after all and I'm in the mood for champagne! This is a very easy recipe! 

Elderflower Champagne Cocktail

Dry Champagne

St. Germain

 Thinly sliced cucumber

Mint

Lightly muddle cucumber and mint in desired glass, fill 3/4 with champagne, and top off with St. Germain.

Have a fabulous Friday everyone! Cheers!

It's National Deep Dish Pizza Day!

Let's get this straight right now. Myself, like the rest of the world I'm sure does not need any kind of reason to eat pizza. But it's National Deep Dish Pizza Day annnnd Wednesday. So today I'm showing you how to make one in a cast iron skillet.  

What you need:

- Pizza dough. I made mine but you can buy it too

- 1 tbsp oil

- Pizza sauce

-Cheese, I used fresh mozzarella and parmesan

-Anything else you wish to add to you pizza

What you do:

- Preheat your oven to 450

- Coat the cast iron pan with oil

- Push pizza dough into the pan

- Add sauce, cheese and toppings

- Put skillet in oven for about 17 minutes

When you take it out of the oven be so careful. Obviously it's very hot.

So I hope this day finds you wish some delicious pizza in hand!

Your Own Style

I have a birthday coming up in May and it's made me start thinking about style. I've been asked a lot to define my style and often times found myself a little stumped. But I dove into the huge word "style" and have made a quick how-to guide in finding your own personal style.  Also I'm sharing some fabulous pieces from Tobi (http://www.tobi.com) that are so "my style". Let's get started.

1. Purge! This is one I find so hard! But if you haven't worn a piece in a year GET RID OF IT! There were a lot of things I felt like I was holding on to for no reason. Plus it makes room for new things right?

2. Try everything on- Seriously. Everything. Make a day of it, open some champagne that always helps. You'll know exactly what gets the cut when you try it on and say what was I thinking?!

3. Find your inspiration /muse- I have a couple. Victoria Beckham, Olivia Palermo, SJP. I've admired their style for years. It's always good to have someone to get inspiration from.

4. Versatility. It's great to have those couple favorites that are just wow but for the most part when investing in good pieces make sure you can wear it different ways and with lots of different things. This mesh bodysuit is amazing because the possibilities are endless. So many ways to waer this one.

 5. Choose three words you gravitate towards. For me glam, edgy, feminine. This "little green dress" embodies all of these. Especially when paired with some very fun accessories. 

6. Take photos of outfits your love, for us fashion bloggers thats easy but if you aren't this is an important step. I feel like sometimes I will put an outfit together and take a photo and then I'm like "well I guess it's time to start over".

7. Make a list of this things in your closet that you love or are drawn to. I love black, plunging necklines, and body suits! This fabulous Tobi piece is all three. 

8. My final tip. If you like it wear it! If it screams your name own it. Don't ever anyone tell you what you like isn't "in". For me, feathers! 

I hope you have a very stylish week ahead of you! Monday's can suck so head for that second cup of coffee!
