Happy Hour: The White Cosmo

Mar 15, 2013

This white cosmo recipe comes to us from The Kitchn.  It contains the usual ingredients but adds a bit of St. Germain instead of the more traditional Cointreau.  It’s the perfect cocktail for book club meetings, drinks with friends or just because it’s Friday.

Lanston Racerback Drape Dress ($165)

While it’s not warm yet, the start of Daylight Saving Time means that it will be here soon.   Maybe not soon enough for some.  But the promise of summer is enough to have me thinking about relaxed maxi dresses for weekends and casual dinners.

I like the drape front and racerback on this one, but it’s only available in a couple of sizes.  I found this drape front dress in midnight navy and this one in a subtler taupe.  If it’s the racerback you’re after, this black Rachel Pally dress is nice, and I love the kaleidoscope print on this one.  And if you’re in search of something with a bit of a sleeve, I dig this long sleeve pleated-skirt one and this navy cap sleeve dress.

If you’re looking for expanded sizes, Old Navy has a selection of maxi dresses in plus sizes and Saks has this fun geometric print one.  Petite ladies will find a lot of options at Ann Taylor like this ruched dress, this colorblock one and this pretty, sleek halter neck.

 Have a great weekend and a safe St. Patrick’s Day.

xoxo, Belle

Happy Hour

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
