When Smirnoff asked me to try their just launched Smirnoff Sorbet Light vodkas I was completely game to do a little pre-party with some of my girlfriends (and how cute are these party favors of sorts?). I took full advantage to play hostess and made some snacks that complemented the alcohol that is 25% lower in calories than similar vodkas available.  The infused vodkas come in Lemon, Raspberry Pomegranate and Mango Passion Fruit which we mixed with orange pineapple juice and diet ginger ale and cranberry juice.

To accompany the cocktails I made sweet bananas (roasted with honey, butter & lemon juice and topped with hazelnuts), lemon hummus and blue corn chips, melon wrapped prosciutto, raspberries with chocolate chips (easiest, tastiest little treat ever) and all served with a bowl of candy, naturally. The drinks were fun, refreshing and delicious – perfect for a rainy night when you need to lift your spirits before a night out. Not to mention they just look summer-y and Taylor made them look extra yummy as she played bartender.

Smirnoff Sorbet Light* Tropical Screwdriver Punch
  • 1.5 oz Mango Passion Fruit Smirnoff Light
  • 1.5 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 1.5 oz Orange Juice
 
Smirnoff Sorbet Light* Pomegranate Berry Punch
  • 1.5 oz Raspberry Pomegranate SMIRNOFF SORBET™ Light
  • 2 oz Diet Ginger Ale
  • 1 oz Cranberry Juice

I think I’ll use what is leftover from this little pre-party for a fun get-together over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Cocktails + BBQ food? Yes please.

What a summer it’s been so far! I just returned from Cabo San Lucas this morning and am in mad catch up mode, but thought I’d share some snaps of my summer thus far. Hope all of you are soaking yours up as much as you can!

xo, meghan

New bracelets from Anthropologie, a birthday gift to me from my bff, Andrea.

En route after a long day of work wearing H&M shorts (just seen here), Gap jacket & tee.

Summer hair inspiration via Louis Vuitton.

Terrazas’ 2010 Reserva Torrontees sipped alongside coworkers was the perfect summer wine- cool and crisp, just like my favorite whites!

Sunday runs in Central Park have become a new favorite activity (side note: how funny would it be if these photos were done in sequential order…who is up for a boozy run in the park? I kid, I kid…)  Follow me for more pics though on Twitter, should your heart please.

Such wise words in Elle. I promptly shared it with layering queen and one of my blogger bffs, Blair.

This FusionBeauty SPF 15 lip conditioning stick in ‘Bitten’ (c/o) were my lips’ best of friend the past week in Mexico.

More beauty love for these Sephora summertime sets, The Glow and All Eye Need. They are jam packed with travel sized loot I can’t get enough of!

Nothing like celebrating our fair country with some red, white & blue style! Tibi dress, Michael Kors clutch, La Mer watch, H&M bracelet, Steve Madden sandals (similar style here).

Cute as pie clutch from Alexandra Satine. A preview of what I’ll see when I visit the showroom in the coming weeks- can’t wait! Her bags all look so chic.

p.s. a HUGE thanks to my lovely guest bloggers last week. Did you love their posts as much as I did?!

p.p.s. a massive congrats to one of my dearest friends in the world, Carrie, for getting engaged! Soooo excited!

Toasting to Girls Weekend in Vegas: Laguna Champagne Bar

So we’re still recuperating from our best Vegas trip yet, but as we resurface into the land of the living we had to share some of the details of our girls weekend. Thanks to the lovely folks at The Palazzo we were able to experience the best of the best, starting off with a celebratory toast to the weekend at the Laguna Champagne Bar. Centrally located on the casino floor, we were able to take in the sights and the sounds from the comfort of the lounge.

Since we “strategically” planned our trip to coincide with March Madness, we were able to take in some of the Thursday night games while we sipped our cocktails….speaking of which,  the bubbly concoctions were amazing. We love ourselves some bubbles, but these set the bar high for the weekend as they were fun and inventive – each of us was raving about our individual cocktails. If you go – you have to try the Flower Eclipse (elderflower goodness) or Art Nouveau (strawberry pureed sweetness). An added bonus? the array of olives and wasabi peanuts we snacked on while we sipped.

Loved it – great start to the weekend…

Jill and Mary - two of our favorites!
