Cocktail Hour: Make your own Cocktail Garden.

5.10.2011

The sun has arrived!! Time to grow those lovely little herbs to make some yummy cocktails!! I have been collecting some old coffee cans to make into little gorgeous plant holders!! I finally caught the chalkboard buzz and decided to paint them on the cans so I can label what I am planting. I love how they turned out!!

What you will need:

~coffe tins

~Nail + Hammer to make holes

~paint brush

~Chalkpaint

~Chalk

~Dirt

~Herbs (Cilantro, Mint, and Basil are great for cocktail making)

collect a few coffee cans, or any other tin cans you have. Poke a few holes on the bottom to make it a plant holder.

paint a few coats with Chalkpaint and let dry. For planting I used Cilantro, Mint and Basil. I have had great luck planting with Cilantro and Basil from the seeds. I haven’t tried Mint yet, so I picked up some already grown. It depends how patient you are 🙂 Basil usually grows like wildflower from the seed, at least from my experience 🙂

label with chalk!

I made this lovely Mint Ice Tea, a little later in the day I added 2 0z of Malibu Rum and headed to the rooftop to enjoy the sun! And there is a perfect summer cocktail!!

I think we are already for a break! Aren’t we?! After a long day in the studio I decided to make a little ol’ cocktail out of whatever I had in the fridge, and this is what I came up with!

Cocktail Hour: The Candy Girl

3.4.2011

It’s been awhile since i wore a pair of jeans. I am more of a skirts + dresses kind of girl. At the Evolving Influence conference during Fashion week we each got to be measured for the new Levis Curve ID and be gifted a pair of jeans. I was fitted as a Demi Curve, and i love love love them! Now I am a jeans girl! I even found a way to get all dressed up in them for a dinner party!

outfit:

Sequin Tube Top~Screaming Mimis//Black Denim~Levis Demi Skinny Jeans//Shoes~Lela Rose for Payless

cute lil banner made my roomie Brittany

cake from Martha, home made jewels i learned to make from here

these gold candies I found made the presentation so pretty! When in the champagne the foil floats to the top and looks ever so pretty!

since it was a dinner party with just girls, we went all out with ladylike touches….here we cut out the first letter of each guest out of magazines and used as place cards. so darling!
