Happy National Margarita Day!

Ahhhhh what a fabulous day it is! 

In honor of National Margarita Day (and the fact that I shamelessly love tequila) I thought I would share a margarita recipe with a twist.

The Mango-Avocado Margarita is a low-calorie cocktail with nutritional value, doesn't get much better than that does it?!

Fun Facts: Mango is a great source of Vitamins A and C, while Avocado has tons of fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, and folic acid. Yay!

The Mango-Avocado Margarita

Makes 4 drinks-162 calories each

2 cups ice cubes

1 cup peeled chopped mango

6 tablespoons chopped ripe peeled avocado

6 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/4 cup Hornitos Tequila (its the good stuff) 

1/4 cup Simply Orange Juice  

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons Triple Sec

4 lime wedges (for presentation of course!)

Blend all of the ingredients until smooth, pour into 4 margarita glasses, add the lime wedges to the rims and you are on your way to a very, very good night.

I sincerely hope that all of you knock back at least one marg today, it's five o'clock somewhere bitches! 

Friday Fashion: Norwegian Fabulous

It's friday bitches! Time to get fabulous! 

During the time that I have spent in Norway I have come to realize that Norwegians are effing fashionistas. Seriously, everyone is gorgeous and looks effortlessly perfect all the time, men included (take notes United States). 

Let's call it Nordic Chic, shall we? 

I thought I would start off the weekend with a little Norwegian fashion inspiration! 

I met this fierce individual, Cecilie, last weekend at a party...

Yeah...my jaw literally dropped when I saw her in this sweater by Danish designer Malene Birger.  

The thing I loved most about this outfit was how she paired a feminine, sequined sweater with bad-ass leather pants from Gestuz, another amazing Danish label.

Perfection

CLEARLY, Denmark (as well as Norway) has it's shit together when it comes to fashion so you should definitely click HERE for more from Malene Birger and HERE for more from Gestuz! 

Try to add a little Norwegian to your look tonight!

Thought of the Day

I am feeling a little sentimental today people. 
It has been really hard being away from all of my amazing friends and family for so long and I miss them terribly. Today I got to thinking about all of the amazing people I have met since I have been in Norway and how I am going to miss them once the hockey season is done. 
Be thankful for all of the special relationships you have in your life, keep in touch, and never forget to tell people that you care.

Behind the Scenes with Louis Vuitton

Hello Divas! I thought it would start off the week with this adorable video of Louis Vuitton's Spring Campaign. I love everything about the delicious pastel colors that match the model's yummy milkshakes! The entire collection has such a sweet, demure feel that gets me even more excited for spring!

Check it out!

Cake is Great But Booze is Better!

Ahhhhh another weekend is upon us darlings! Let's start it off right! 

With a cocktail of course. 

Now, today happens to be one of my best friend's birthday so I thought I would share a birthday inspired drink with all of you! 

The Cake Batter Martini

1 ounce amaretto

1 1/2 ounces Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka

1 1/2 ounces Creme De Cacao

 1/2 ounce Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur 

 1 ounce heavy cream

Assorted sprinkles 

Vanilla Frosting

Before you mix anything together, use your finger to coat the rim of the glass you will be using with the vanilla frosting. Pour the sprinkles on to a plate and press the glass rim into the sprinkles so that they stick. 

Then, mix all of the ingredients together (minus the sprinkles and frosting obviously) and enjoy this sweet little treat!

Seriously though, why eat a piece of cake when you could have this?!

Have a fab weekend! Bottoms up!

Holy Sh*t I Need These...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Must. Own. Can't. Live. Without.

How amazing are these? Like seriously, I can't breathe. People, lay your eyes on the Archduchess Platform by Faryl Robin for Free People. Ok, so everyone loves Free People so I don't even need to go into how effing fab all their stuff is (but if you want to see more Free Peeps click here). Lets move on to Faryl Robin shall we? The brand Faryl Robin was started in 2002 by its founder Faryl Robin Morse. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Faryl 2 years ago when I was working in the shoe department at Nordstrom. Can I just say that she is the coolest betch alive and I purchased a pair of her boots minutes after meeting her (she is that fantastic and her shoes are TO DIE FOR). The wonderful thing about Faryl Robin's is the fact that they are not only unique and ridiculously sassy; they are incredibly comfortable too! I wore the Elsbeth Knee-High Boot during an 8 hour shift and my feet felt fantastic. You can't beat that! Click here or here to see more from Faryl Robin! 

You're Welcome! 

Spring Trend Alert: Floral Denim

Screw that groundhog! Spring will be here before you know it, so you want to make sure you are on top of all the upcoming trends for the season. 

I am absolutely loving all of the printed denim there has been recently and this spring it gets even better. Floral denim was seen all over the S/S runways and has shot to the top of my spring shopping list! Take a look...

Citizens of Humanity-Mandy High Waist Slim Roll Up

J Brand Floral Cropped Skinny Jeans

Citizens of Humanity- Chloe High-Rise Printed Shorts

TopShop Co-ord Tropical Slim Trousers

What I love about floral denim is that it is so easy to wear. Throw on a bright knit top with a colored pump or a crisp white button down with natural strappy sandals to be effortlessly fabulous this spring! What everyone needs to remember is that it is important to make trends your own, put your personal style into each look you choose to try. 

 Like Yves Saint-Laurent said, "Fashions fade, style is eternal." 

Let the countdown to spring begin!!! 

Happy Hour: Vodka Iced Tea

TGIF Bitches!!! It's Friday!!! Now, I am sure many of you are getting ready to hit the town all weekend long but probably haven't decided what your pre-game drink of choice will be. Well, give vodka ice tea a try! Unlike it's deadly sister, The Long Island Iced Tea, this drink is super easy, low cost (unless you're in Norway), low calorie, and delish! Now, all of you reading this need to keep in mind that I am living in Norway and a liter of Smirnoff, for example, can cost between $80-$100...for real. SO when we do drink vodka over here we need to make the most of it! 

Vodka Iced Tea
What you need (makes muliple drinks):

1) Vodka (no particular kind, it all does the same thing anyway right?)

2) Your favorite tea - I recommend Peach or Pomegranate Pizzaz by Bigelow- click HERE more tea options! 

3) 1 Liter of water

Heat the water until it is close to boiling, remove it from the heat, and add 1 tea bag. Let the tea steep for 2-4 minutes to maximize the flavor and place in the refrigerator until the tea is cool or when happy hour starts...whatever comes first.

 Pour 2 shots of your vodka of choice into a glass, add ice, a splash of tea, and you are on your way to a REALLY good night. This drink is calorie conscious and keeps you hydrated! What's not to love?! 

Have a fab weekend darlings! XO

Thought Of The Day

Preach Coco!

It's Hump Day!: "The Hammer"

Ahhhhhh it's February people! Lets start this LOVE-ly month off right with the most delicious drink on the planet, The Hammer.  I indulged in this adult milkshake over the weekend and my life has been changed forever...I'm serious. This amazing little beverage was created in Lillehammer, Norway (hence the name) by the L.I.K. goal tender, who I suspect may moonlight as a bartender based in this concoction. 

Ok so here it is...

The Hammer

What you need (makes 2 drinks):

1) 4 scoops of fat free vanilla ice cream 

2) 1 packet of hot chocolate (Swiss Miss Fat Free Hot Chocolate has only 50 Calories)

3) 1 tablespoon of peanut butter

4) 3 shots of Baileys The Original Irish Cream

5) 3 Shots of Smirnoff Vodka (or really whatever vodka you want)

Blend all of the ingredients together, pour into 2 large glasses and enjoy! 

I dare you not to love this. 

Sip away Divas!
