Fun Friday: Jimmy Choo Mira Sandal

 

Flora & Fauna

 

Winter’s chill has finally set in for most of us (to my chagrin), and though some are actually able to escape for resort season, others of us can only fantasize about warmer temps. Why not get a jump on spring with a blooming pair of shoes, like the Mira sandal from Jimmy Choo’s Spring 2012 collection ($2695 available for preorder at JimmyChoo.com). It’s corsaged ankle strap, leopard print vamp and 5.7 inch orange pin heel make it a walking party. Though you may not be able to wear it outside yet, There’s nothing wrong with a red carpet-themed house party, where everyone dresses like they’re in Southern California (and tries to guess who will win what on Sunday at the Golden Globes). You’ve never shyed away from all-eyes-on-you shin digs before… why not create your own?

 

In keeping with the Golden Globes theme, consider serving a cocktail inspired by one of the nominees, like the Lucid Supernatural Sip (the muse for which was FX’s American Horror Story, a nom for Best Television Series in the Drama category). Made with LUCID Absinthe, white crème de cocao, cocnut milk and black sambuca, it’s a creamy, sweet-but-tongue-tingling treat that’ll have you and your guests feeling festive. Keep in mind, though, that LUCID is 124 proof (62% alcohol by volume), so this drink is stronger than it may taste.

Recipe:

1 part LUCID®

1 part White Creme de Cocao

1 part Coconut Milk

Drizzle of Black Sambucca

Combine LUCID, White Creme de Cocao and Coconut Milk in a shaker filled with ice. Shake till Frothy and strain into a short rocks glass over ice. Drizzle Black Sambucca down the side of the glass until it floats on the bottom and diffuses through the cocktail.

Fun Friday: Fever Brittany Pumps & Charlie Sheen Tiger Blood

 

Goddess DNA

You’re a walking party, complete with smoke machines and music. Everyone knows you breathe fun into every experience… that’s why they like having you around. Nevermind that you have a tendency to overdo it at times. As long as you’re the star of your own over-the-top show (all the world’s a stage), you’re WINNING. Celebrate the spotlight in a pair of show-stopping shoes, like these Brittany pumps from Fever Shoes. The tie-dyed red, double platform and 5 inch heel can’t be ignored any more easily than Charlie Sheen’s latest antics. However, they do serve just the right amount of sex-goddess.

You don’t wait until 4 PM to start happy hour, nor do you wait for the weekend for a Bloody Mary. That said, whatever time you choose to begin your binge today, do it with a “Tiger’s Blood with a Dash of Adonis DNA.” Named for Charlie Sheen’s self-proclaimed genetic makeup, and available at the newly opened Hash Fifty Five in NY, it’s a potent, spicy take on the Bloody Mary. The ingredient list reads more like a witch’s brew than a cocktail (see below), and it’s beyond potent but I hear it gives you the strength of Two and a Half Men. Cheers!

Recipe:

Dash of Bragg Liquid Aminos
1/4 teaspoon harissa
1/4 red horseradish sauce
1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder
1/4 teaspoon Ras El Hanout
Dash of Glenmorangie Sherry
fresh grated ginger
dash of olive juice
dash of balsamic
2 ounces vodka
Pinch celery salt
7 drops Worcestershire
6 oz  tomato juice
lime juice
lemon juice, salt & pepper

Combine all ingredients in a highball glass with ice, stir well, splash another dash of Aminos, garnish with lime and serve.
