Bright Heights, Big City
Aren't long weekends the best? This one is bitter sweet, though, because it's the unofficial end of Summer... and the official end of Summer Fridays. Don't let that blow your mood, though. Instead, pay homage to your favorite season in a pair of ultra bright heels like these neon pink patent leather gladiator sandals from Kathryn Amberliegh. The contrast of the dark fabric on the straps reflects the tiny bit of angst you feel at the approach of the cool and cold seasons. Their 4.5 inch heel say you're ready to party, and the lace-up closure at the back says you're not easily undone.

You're probably getting out of the office early today. That means you can get the party started early. To toast the sunny season, order an X-Rated Summer at the bar this evening. If your bartender doesn't know how to make one, ask him or her to combine X-Rated Fusion Liqueur (premium French vodka and infusions of passion fruit, mango, blood orange and other fruits), watermelon juice, basil leaves, lemon juice and Prosecco. The result will be a sweet, refreshing cocktail perfect for sipping on an outdoor patio while you people watch with your girls. (Yes she DID wear THAT outside). Careful, though... while this drink tastes yummy and innocent (despite its name), keep in mind you're drinking vodka. Too many X-Rated cocktails may lead to an embarrassing R-rated night if you're not careful.
Striped for the Picking
It's been said that you can always tell a zebra by its stripes. If that's true, most people will take one glance at you and see a wild streak. Just in case they don't notice, though, let a pair of animal print peep toed pumps set them straight. Kathryn Amberleigh's Zebra print pumps are the perfect accessory for navigating the concrete jungle. The cream and brown base has a calm air, but the sea foam leather accents add a bit of complexity. The best thing about this particular pair is their versatility. They'll easily go from work to play and can be worn with almost anything.

Get your "wild thing" on this evening while sipping a Green Eyes cocktail. It's a creamy, semi-sweet, tropical-tasting concoction of Midori Liqueur, Admiral Nelson Rum, coconut cream, lime juice and pineapple juice. I'm gonna suggest foregoing the pineapple garnish if you value your street cred, though. This drink is only 32 proof, so I'd say you can have a few. Just keep track of your straws or something so you don't get too wild.
Yours Shoely,
Me
