So today I am heading off to an amazing breakfast hosted by the Girl Scouts and taking time to honor a number of executive women! I was never a girl scout although I am a fan of their initiatives as well as their Thin Mints! I am super excited to attend the event. It was in a conversation with a friend last night that made me realize that every now and then, my look must take a nod towards the corporate side. Even though I worked in a corporate environment once upon a time ago, it wasn't like I had to dress that way. To be honest (and as noted on a previous post), I love the Wall Street or fabulously chic fashion guy look. There is something about a guy in a great suit that definitely makes you do more of a double take!

When it comes to phenom suits, no one does it better then Tom Ford and I have a penchant for plaid, wool and mohair! So the suit is a no brainer and with the chill in the air that is setting in, I love a guy with a cute scarf and a newsie cap! His style is all about being a guy on the move and although I think iPhones are fab - I'm a Blackberry girl at heart so knowing that he protects his most important tool with a super cute Gucci case is definitely a nice touch. What a fun look with the fab tones of blue and grey and then the slight pops of color!

Trendy Thursdays ~ Valentine's Sippin' Part III

First - Happy Valentine's Day! No matter what you're doing today, it should be full of fun and spent with those that give you that! Today I am spending my last night here in Vegas and will be having dinner at David + Burke's which is super exciting. I ate there earlier this week so I will have to try something new. I think that this will be a lot of fun - I can't wait to share a lot of the fun things that went on this week. I must say that with coming off of Fashion Week, meeting many of the good people of Coutorture and now being in Vegas with not only my best friends but friends that I know even better - this is definitely a great way to spend the week. That being said, I wanted to end the series of Valentine's beverages with one of my favorite drinks that I tried as soon as I got these recipes. I will also be having this tonight as I think of one of my new friends who is always down with giving me the recipes that I send out to you - so I am raising a virtual glass to her, my best friend who without him - the trip would not have been possible, my dancing friend and of course the amazing people that I got to know so much better during my trip here:
Cupid’s Cherry Jubilee
1 ounce Appleton VX Jamaican Rum
1.5 ounces Cherry Juice
4 ounces Korbel Champagne
Fresh coconut shreds
Honey
Cherry for garnish

Rim a wine glass with honey and roll on coconut shreds. Pour in Appleton, Cherry Juice and then fill with Korbel. Add cherry for garnish.
