The Perfect Dress For Your Summer Soiree

admin — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 01:30:19 +0000

Whether you’re a guest at a summer wedding or rubbing elbows with your fancier friends, there’s bound to be a summer soiree (or two) in your near future.

The nights are still balmy but those cute maxi dresses and short shorts that are so sweet for day may be a little too casual for night. A few tips while looking for the perfect party dress for summer? Try light, floaty fabrics or draped silhouettes for a more chic vibe and opt for bright colors or pretty patterns to keep your ensemble looking summer fresh.

Keep it classy by balancing out your outfit – strapless necklines give longer hemlines sex appeal and cute cap sleeves help keep a mini from being a little too revealing.

Check out the slideshow for our picks for summer party dresses that will be sure to make you stand out in the crowd!

Summer Whites

admin — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 02:10:00 +0000

Summer heat makes for a great time to enjoy a few cocktails ’al fresco’. Being outside really whets my palate for drinks that are light and crisp. I find white wines perfect for summertime happy hours on the deck. Here are a few of my favorites just in time for the official start of summer!

Pacific Rim Rieslings

Pacific Rim is one of my favorite wine brands. They are very reasonably priced (one bottle is $ 10 or under). They offer dry, medium and sweet varieties, and all of them are delicious. My favorite is the sweet riesling, which has a fruity flavor with undertones of peach and pineapple.

Barefoot Moscato

Moscato or Muscat wines are also a sweet variety. Moscato’s are a little bit crisper than a sweet riesling in my estimation. You can also get sparkling Moscato wines which are simply fantastic. Barefoot is another brand that is easy on your wallet (less than $ 10 per bottle) an can be found in nearly every liquor store around. This Moscato wine is chock full of the flavors of apricot and and peach and is delicious on a warm summer evening.

Trader Joe’s Whites

Trader Joes is known for their wines! Yes, it is true! If you are lucky enough to have a Trader Joes in your state, do a search for stores that sell alcohol (this will vary by county or town). Their ‘three buck chuck’ (Charles Shaw) wine is a delicious treat for three dollars! Hard to believe yes, but true. I also hear that Whole Foods is soon going to be offering their own line of two or three dollar wines. Check out Trader Joes page here for tons of helpful information on wine pairings.

Do you enjoy a crisp, cool glass of wine on a hot summer evening? What is your favorite brand?
