Cutesy Tuesday: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa Slingbacks &

Cielito Lindo Los Corazones...

It's Cinco de Mayo! Ole! It's pretty gloomy out for most of us on the east coast, but you're not disheartened. As a matter of fact, you've decided to keep some sun in your heart even when you can't see it in the sky. C'mon, share it and brighten other peoples' day. Your Vivienne Westwood x Melissa Lady Dragon slingbacks (available at epauletshop.com) are the perfect way. You've had them since their January debut, and you've finally found the right occasion for their inaugural run. What better day to debut them than a rainy one? They're rubber, so they won't get ruined in the rain, and the red heart makes them festive. The 3.5 inch heel isn't as high as you usually wear, but that just means you can dance more tonight.

A pretty Pomegranate Margarita (recipe & image courtesy of Cabo Wabo) tonight would only be right. You can settle for whatever your bartender concocts, or you can ask for Cabo Wabo Reposado Tequila mixed with a little simple syrup, a few pomegranate seeds and some passion fruit juice. It'll be a tasty concoction, but don't overdo it. If you do, you'll wake up feeling like your head was the pinata at the party.

Wild Wednesday: Lanvin Cap toe Slingbacks & Absolut Electric Lemonades

Cap it Off

Mother Nature's been pretty trippy lately, giving us summer weather and snow in the same week. It seems her mood has rubbed off on you today, and you're feeling a little outlandish. You can't exactly twirl your glow stick around the office, but you can bring out your inner club kid with electric-hued shoes like these cap toed sling backs from Lanvin (available at Barneys.com). The turquoise and black leopard print with hints of red shows your wild side, yet the black patent cap toe gives them a professional air, and the sturdy wooden platform and 4.9 inch heel add an almost-bohemian flair.

When you leave the office this evening, head to the nearest "underground" spot and ask the bartender for an Electric Lemonade (recipe & image courtesy of outofthefryingpan.com). With it's sweet-but-tart flavor and bright color, this drink says you're in the mood to party. You should be able to drink a few without hangover worries too. If you see a question mark on the bartender's face when you place your order, tell him or her to mix Absolut Citron Vodka, Blue Curacao, sweet & sour mix and lemon/lime soda.
