San Pellegrino Blood Orange Mojitos

Ingredients

2 1/2 ounces light rum

4 ounces San Pellegrino Limonata

1 1/2 ounces simple syrup

2 blood oranges, cut into wedges

a handful of mint leaves

sugar

1. In a large bowl, combine blood orange wedges, mint leaves and a light sprinkle of sugar. Muddle all the ingredients together until most of the juice is extracted and the mint leaves are bruised.
2. Distribute muddled oranges and mint leaves between two glasses. Fill with ice. Add rum, simple syrup and San Pellegrino Limonata. Stir and serve immediately.
3. Tip: For fancier ice cubes, freeze 1 part San Pellegrino Limonata and 1 part orange juice. Drop one segmented wedge of blood orange in each mold. Allow freezing time before serving your cocktail.

Design: Rustic. Chic. Anthropologie.

The Anthropologie inspired wedding design is oh so popular these days. I am a big fan of the casual, rustic look . . . But sometimes I think it can get over the top for a wedding day. These photos and ideas are simply beautiful and definitely not too Anthropologie-y! Thanks to Green Wedding Shoes.

Vermont Wedding

This Vermont wedding has such fun style. I love love love the chandeliers in the barn and what a cute idea to have breakfast for dinner. Brides are really mixing it up these days as opposed to sticking with a very traditional wedding . . . and this one did a fabulous job! The rustic style always catches my eye. What a beautiful day! Thanks to green wedding shoes.

more love to monique lhuillier

This dress is so incredibly pretty! It's fun, yet still very classy. I'm in love. One point to Monique Lhuillier, once again.

happy friday

at home for the day . . .
