Pretty Package

Light spirits, dark spirits, liqueurs galore- they are all necessary for a well-stocked bar.  But when you have a penchant for surrounding yourself with absolutely beautiful things is vodka really vodka when it's packaged without a keen eye for design? How beautiful can your bar cart really be when atop sits Aristocrat or Burnetts? (gag. How did I ever make it through college?) I like pretty things, and I do not discriminate for anything, that includes my cocktails!

Do you tend to develop crushes on lovely packaging? If you do, you really must check out this blog "Lovely Package" that Society Social's stylist introduced me too last week!

Today's Mantra

Cocktail O'Clock

Frankly, it's hotter than hell here. The south's humidity is brutal and the heat index is dancing along the line of 100. There really is no good reason to do much other than sit and try to avoid sweating. I'd also say sipping on a refreshing cocktail falls under hotter than hell activities. What do y'all think about a sweet tea mojito? ;)

For the recipe, see Society Social's Vault of Tasty Tipples! 

The Cocktail Cart Cache

Lisa's cocktail station is within perfect reach of the dinner table! See more at Lonny.

The latest Lonny went live yesterday, and it was so lovely to have a leisurely afternoon to linger over my cup of joe while perusing through the beautiful and always inspiring spreads. I was even more delighted when I discovered the bar carts and cocktail concocting stations in the homes of Ruthie Sommers and Amazon.com style editor, Lisa Statslulewicz, whose residence Lonny lended its style expertise.  Maybe one day my little baby bar carts will be featured somewhere so stylish? I suppose one can dream! :)

On the Road Again

The Society Social shoot wrapped yesterday evening, and I'm now in the process of packing up all my baubles and bar carts! We have 9 or so hours in a ridiculously large moving truck in which I will probably resort to entertaining myself by singing into a water bottle and making funny, most likely delirious, videos. Sitting still is not my specialty! What do you do to entertain yourself on road trips? Help!

Society Social Shoot Behind the Scenes



Kim of Eat.Sleep.Wear. getting all dolled up by Beke! Such a pleasure and honor to work with you both!



Amy of Styled Creative. Ask her about her sultry look. It's killer. Beke was insane. She helped us rock out the 60's look!

 

Holy insane. Kelly Wearstler's Imperial Trellis wallpaper and Moda Botanica's fabulous creations at the amazing home of Mona Ross Berman who was so gracious to let us invade!



And Mr.Woodley. I'm in love.

Just a few from the Society Social shoot. It was pretty amazing- to be surrounded by so many talented women (and man ;), to see what you've poured so much of yourself into transform into something much bigger than your wildest dreams. I still don't think I've processed the past two days! An incredible amount I'm grateful for and a team that would rival your highest expectations!

So much more to come. Follow Society Social on Facebook or Twitter if you'd like to keep up :)
