Fabulous Summer Fun

Diva-tini time!!

With summer quickly approaching, it is time to think swimsuit, sunscreen, floppy hats and, most importantly, poolside refreshment!  I was recently introduced to this delicious beverage and am glad that I was. 

This diva-tini is easy to prepare...

• Fill a poolside appropriate glass with ice


• Fill 1/3 of the glass with Effen Cucumber Vodka


• Top with soda


• Add a twist of lime and leave in for garnish


• Place one slice of cucumber on the rim for an added touch

Chink, chink, mes amis!  Enjoy!

Fabulous Finds

Halloween is over.  There is a slight chill in the air.  I absolutely love this time of the year.  The upcoming festivities, spending time with family and friends.  Pulling the scarves and cute hats out of the back of the closets.There is nothing else like it.

This week is the official kick off to the holiday shopping season!  I cannot describe how much I love to shop for other people. I really do love to see the faces of gift recipients. Is that cliche or what?  In order to avoid the debt and guilt of holiday spending, I opened a Christmas Club account several years ago.  In essence, I get "free money" the first week of November and can spend it as I see fit.  No guilt, no credit cards, just the freedom to spend. Lucky for me, this Friday, I get to spend for my friends, with my friends!! Chink, chink, mes amis!!

Fabulous Finds

Who doesn't love a Fabulous Find?  I am always on the hunt for fashion treasure. Whether it be a navy polka dotted dress hanging in the back corner of a junk shop or a Missoni for Target clutch strategically placed amongst the backpacking magazines for later retrieval, I am always looking for that item that someone else has left behind. I suppose it goes back to my childhood. My parents owned an antique business.  In order to keep me focused (and not whining) while antiquing, they would pay me a quarter for every piece of Heisey glassware that I found.  Even then, I felt like I hit the lottery when I would find the glassware on a shelf... oftentimes covered with several layers of dust and cobwebs.  Now, so many years later and I still can't explain it, but I feel a huge sense of accomplishment when I have found what I perceive to be a Fabulous Find.  

My latest find is a most adorable polka dotted, navy dress.  Today, I have decided to channel my inner Coco Chanel and am wearing it with several strands of pearls.  Isn't it great to wear a stunning outfit, with accessories, that costs less than $20?!
