Happy Hour: Pomegranate and Lime White Wine Spritzer

Alright, I have a quick post about a super easy cocktail for you today! 
I found the recipe a while ago on Nutmeg Nanny and have been dying to try it ever since. 
Here it is...
All you need is 1/2 cup seltzer walter, 1 cup white wine (I recommend a Pinot Grigio), 1 tablespoon fresh pomegranate seeds, and a lime wedge. 
Add all of the ingredients into a glass with ice and enjoy! 
Quick, easy, low cal, and refreshing, what's not to love? 

Stay sassy Divas!

Just Another Reason To Love Chanel

As if you need any more reasons to love all things Chanel!
This amazing video shows exactly how Chanel's signature tweed and chain lined jackets are made. 
I think it is incredible how nearly everything is done by hand and it takes a team of seamtresses to create the finished product. 
A Chanel Jacket can cost you over $4,000 but after seeing the intricate process of making this classic little jacket is made, it is a little bit easier to justify such a purchase...right?!
Ahhh come on! It's an investment piece people!

Check out the fabulous!


I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Coco Chanel...
"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman."

Spring Trend Alert: High/Low Hemlines

Hello divas! Hope you all had a fabulous St. Patrick's Day weekend!


Now lets talk trend...
This spring is full of exciting new trends but today I want to share with you my absolute favorite...
High/Low Hemlines! 
You can see this trend in flirty maxi dresses, flowy skirts, and sassy tops everywhere.
Take a look at a few of my personal favorites!
Aimee Tank by Brandy Melville
Lanston High/Low Maxi Dress (I have this and its my total obsession!)
Minkpink Nimbin Belted High Low Skirt from ASOS
Elizabeth and James Floral Marissa Dress
I adore the flouncy, sexiness that the high/low hemline adds to a garment and the way it makes a dress or skirt move. 
This is an easy and wearable trend that anyone can sport this spring. 
Don't be shy ladies, get out there and show a little skin!

St. Patrick's Day Cocktails!

Whoo Hoo! St. Patrick's Day is this Saturday and I'm sure most of you are starting to gear up for a full weekend of debauchery by pulling out every piece of green clothing you own and loading up on Guinness.
While beer is probably the most consumed beverage on St. Patrick's Day, it is important to think about those who aren't particularly fond of beer, so I found some alternative cocktails!


The first is the Bushmills Irish Buck, a.k.a The Frozen Leprechaun, and it's super easy!
All you need is...
1.5 oz (a shot) of Bushmills Irish Whiskey
.25 oz Fresh lime juice
2 oz Ginger Ale
1 Lime wedge to garnish
Mix all of the ingredients together and sip away! 


The second cocktail is actually a punch that is perfect if you are having a St. Patty's Day party
St. Patrick's Day Party Punch
All you need is...
2 Cans Minute Maid frozen limeade concentrate
2 Cans Minute Maid frozen lemonade concentrate
2 Liters of Diet Sierra Mist
1 Liter of rum
2 quarts lime sherbet


Add all of the ingredients to a large punch bowl and stir until everything is mixed thoroughly.
Serve to your guests and enjoy!


I hope everyone has a fabulous St. Patrick's Day and gives these cocktails a try! 
I will leave you with a little Irish quote...

The Naked Dress


Ok so any female between the ages of 18 and 55 should know what I am referring to when I talk about 
"The Naked Dress" 

For those of you who live under a rock and/or have never seen Sex and The City its the dress that Carrie Bradshaw is photographed in for a promotion for her column that was put on the side of New York City buses. It is more importantly the dress she wears on her first date with Mr. Big, which leads to them doing the dirty for the first time as well. 
Ok, we are all caught up now. 

Now, nude has been all the rage for the past few seasons and has been seen on celebs on every red carpet this award season...
Heidi Klum at the 2012 Golden Globes
Kristen Wiig at the 2012 Oscars
It's undeniable how hot the "naked" look is, so I wanted to post some modern, wearable "naked dresses" for all of you to rock this spring! 
Here ya go!

Rachel Pally
Haute Hippie One Shoulder Dress

What I think is great about a naked dress is that you can get creative with a colorful shoe or a bold statement necklace. Anything goes when you have a blank canvas!

So find your inner exhibitionist this spring and slip into your pseudo-birthday suit!

Red Hot Prada!

Ok, so anyone who knows me is aware that I love a good statement shoe! 
So, naturally I am FREAKING OUT over Prada's Spring 2012 shoe collection. 
The feminine 50's inspired collection consisted of flaming wedges and hotrod stilettos complete with break lights. I couldn't help myself from humming "Greased Lightning" as I contemplated the financial sacrifices I am going to have to make to own a pair of these effing sandals (who really needs food anyway?). 

Take a look for yourself! 


Flame Wedge Sandal
Prada Bow Tail Light Slide Sandal
Prada 'Tail Light Flame' Sandal
Prada 'Flower Tail Light' Wedge
They are so dainty and sassy at the same time! I absolutely must have them. 
Ugh, are you obsessed yet? You should be.
