Laidback Favorites

On weekends, I tend to be pretty darn lazy when it comes to getting dressed. This outfit is comprised of pieces I often reach for (and wear together) when I want to be comfortable and casual but still cute.

Polka Party

Too much of a good thing? No such thing when it comes to polka dots! I love the mash-up of different scales in this mixed print outfit. Printed pants are popping up a lot lately in my wardrobe. They're becoming something of a staple rather than a statement-maker!

Kansas Couture Cocktail: Cranberry Clementine Rye

It's been a long time since I've shared a cocktail recipe on the blog, so here goes! This is one of my go-to cocktails because it's easy and always hits the stop. It's not too sweet, not too boozy and goes down a little too easy!

INGREDIENTS
-1.5 oz. Rye Whiskey
-1.5 oz. Clementine Soda (I get mine from Trader Joe's. Anything orange-y will do, but go for something juice-based, not Fanta or Orange Crush.)
-1/2 oz. 100% Cranberry Juice (The 100% cranberry is nice and tart and stands in for a citrus element. If you use sweetened cranberry juice, it will be a very different cocktail.)

INSTRUCTIONS
Simply place all the ingredients in a champagne glass and enjoy. If you want it nice and cold, you can serve it on the rocks in a cocktail glass or shake the whiskey and cranberry with ice and top the drink with the soda.

Lucky Duck

I don't always celebrate St. Patrick's Day to the fullest, but I decided to take the day off and do it up right this year. Of course, I had to don the customary color, so I wore one of the few green items I own, added layers for the chilly day and completed the look with a free Budweiser necklace. Classy!

Crimson & Clover

The last thing in the world I need is another red dress, but I was powerless to resist the scalloped hem and shift shape of this scarlet cutie. I intend to thin out my closet when I switch it over from winter to spring, so perhaps I'll part with some unnecessary dresses then. But this one is staying with me!

Jumpsuit: Part 2

The jumpsuit strikes again -- this time for an evening outing! I ditched the blazer, added a statement necklace and swapped out the heels for a dash of color. Easy peasy and party-ready!

Jumpsuit: Part 1

Don't you just love a good jumpsuit? They're effortless yet chic. They're simple yet statement-making. I always sing their praises...until I have to pee! They're well worth the hassle though, don't you think? They certainly make it easy to get dressed. Here I paired this little black number with a blazer and pumps for the office. Stay tuned for Part 2...
