Swing Low
You're one day from a three-day weekend, and you can't wait. You're actually considering working from home tomorrow so you can get the party started tonight. Make sure you're prepared with a pair of dance-friendly shoes. A fun pair like these Ras sandals are party-perfect. The festive, vividly hued satin and bright gold cork platform and low 3-inch heel say you're ready to rock around the clock. Whether you're watching the NBA playoffs at a chic sports bar or dancing the night away, you're going to be comfy and cute.
Your drink of choice this evening should be a Citrus Blackberry Collins (recipe & image from CocktailTimes.com). It's a combination of Belvedere Cytrus, Marie Brizard Blackberry liqueur, a little lime juice, lemon juice & simple syrup and a splash of club soda. It'll be a slightly bubbly, semi-sweet treat. Just remember that drinking too many may lead to clumsiness, which tends to ruin pretty satin sandals.
Bullet Points
Don't you just wanna shoot somebody sometimes just because it's Monday? No? Us either. Give peace a chance. You can still look (sorta) tough and bad-ass in a pair of killer heels with edgy accents, like these Pistola peep toed booties by Alejandro Ingelmo. The 4 3/4 inch heel and bullet detail on the slingback say "lookin' for trouble", yet the baby pink hue say there's still something sweet about you. I'm seeing these with cropped or ankle length pants. Anything longer defeats the purpose.
Tonight at happy hour, order a drink that sounds dangerous, but looks pretty. I suggest a Pink Pistol (I changed the name, but image & recipe courtesy of fitness.com). It combines 3 Vodka, lychee fruit, unsweetened pink grapefruit juice and a grapefruit wedge. Apparently, this slightly bittersweet drink is swimsuit-friendly, too. It only has about 130 calories and no fat! It does have about 16g of carbs, though, so if you're on a low carb kick, keep that in mind. Also remember that cutting back on carbs means you have less in your system to soak up alcohol. Overdoing it will almost surely lead to dangerous situations.
