Pastels for Spring

I adore pastels and they are hot this spring. I love mint and powder pink and... well, every pastel. What better time to update your close with these spring staples than when there is a big sale??

Shopbop is having a hugeee end of winter sale where if you spend $250+ you get 20% off, spend $500 get 25% off and when you spend $1000 you get 30% off. Below are some of my shopbop hearts that I'm dying for (pastels, of course!). I love that Equipment is making blazers now (a natural transition for the brand). Also, how cute is that light blue lace top by Rebecca Taylor?? I also cannot say no to colored jeans - it's a problem...

Cocktail of the Week: Southside

While I love my Moscow Mules, there is no drink that says summer quite like a vodka Southside. Similar in taste to the mojito, the Southside is the quintessential country club drink of choice and is gaining popularity at bars. You can prepare it with white rum or vodka but I prefer vodka (the boys in my family prefer the rum).

*Makes 1 (I find that having a pitcher made is always more fun...)

2 oz vodka

1/2 oz triple sec (a little more if you like yours sweeter)

2 oz lime juice

Ice (I love lots of ice in mine- shake in a shaker to make it extra cold)

Mint leaves (make sure to pick into small pieces and muddle at the bottom of your glass to really get a taste of the mint)

1 - 2 oz soda water (depending on how much fizz you want)

Enjoy! This drink always reminds me of hot summer nights at the club.

Mint Moment

Mint was the hot color last spring and it is back this season, as well. Mint jeans, decors and accessories are all the rage. I recently bought an adorable light weight mint v-neck sweater from Gap and I literally want to wear it everyday. How will you incorporate mint into your spring wardrobe?
