Happy July 19!
aka.  Daiquiri Day!
Some of you may have already read a similar post on another favorite "holiday, Pina Colada Day, where I spent way to much time on Pinterest to bring you less caloric yet still alcoholic versions of the vacation classic. Well this is part two: Daiquiri Edition.  
yup.
- 6 C frozen strawberries (or just fill your blender to the top)
- 6 ounces clear rum (adjust based on your affinity for alcohol)
- 6 ounces vodka (adjust based on your affinity for alcohol) 
- 3 packets Stevia 
- juice of one large lime 
- sliced lime for garnish 
Directions: put all ingredients in a blender and serve.  
OK THIS RECIPE IS PERFECT 
but if your fancy or a little more of a Martha Stewart type, I've included a few more.

WCW: Taylor Swift

Image
...well I never thought this would happen, but you have to admit- T.Swift killed it while performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London.   Taylor looked as though she too could be in Angel as she strutted down the runway in black lingeries with a sheer black lace overlay.  Oh hayyyyy, betch As the end of the year approaches, so does NYE meaning the time has come to start scoping out your look to ring in the New Year.  This year I'm starting to consider sheer black lace instead of the usual sequins.  Check out my picks below to get Taylor's look! Jarlo Noah Maxi Nightcap Clothing Dixie dress- ON SALE Lovers + Friends Catwalk dress Bardot Sienna Bralette  &  Skirt I saw T.

Alexander Wang x H&M

IT IS FINALLY HERE!!!!   Tomorrow Alexander Wang's long awaited collection will arrive in select H&M stores and online.  Blogs have been buzzing about the collaboration since this past Spring, so you know this is sure to sellout quicker than Missoni for Target or Kate Moss' last collection for Topshop .   Stores that will carry the collection will open at 8 a.m. local time and the collection will be available online at 10 a.m. EST.  Due to high demand, customers will not be able to purchase any more than two of the same item.   The full look book is available  HERE  and can be described as the chicest and sleekest collection of workout gear you could fathom.  Think sporty grays and tight black scuba.   Not necessarily your style? While browsing the look book, I was able to find several pieces that would be ideal holiday gifts for any gym rat ( yoga mat $69.95 / duffel bag $129 / water bottle $12.95 ), boyfriend ( Scuba Look bag $129 /  Jacquard Knit hat $29.95
