Can you believe this incredible weather we’ve been having?! I am overjoyed with excitement because today commences my birthday weekend and I can’t remember ever being able to sit outside with friends and enjoy cocktails under the sun (it is January after all).  This cocktail is super delicious and offers a fun spin on a classic favorite…I will definitely be mixing up some of these bad boys this weekend. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

~1 shot of vodka

~3/4 shot of peach schnapps

~Pomegranate juice

~Pineapple juice

*Add vodka, schnapps, and fill the rest of the glass with equal parts pomegranate and pineapple juice. Serve on the rocks.

I love this photo of a rainbow of bold colored shoes, they’re all too much fun.

I love this unexpected color palatte of aqua and red and it just seemed just so appropriate for a California Christmas/holiday table…

For flowers, I used shades of crismon and red with hints of purple. I don’t usually like red roses, but these cabbage roses are kind of amazing.

A holiday wreath with rosemary…

A happy little ranunculus in the arrangement.

And a congratulations to Jose Villa & Joel Serrato on their wedding and publication in Martha Stewart Weddings. Check it out here.

And a sweet remembrance for a Jane Packer, she helped shape and create the modern floral industry. Check out Chelsea’s sweet remembrance post here.

For the Tea Tme Editorial, 33 Jewels kindly lent us a number of vintage costume jewelry and we just had to take a bunch of detailed styling shoots with them. Above the detail of a choker…

The incredible purple Miriam Haskell necklace…

 Here it is styled with Tricia’s tray and a cigarette case I bought at a thrift store.

I loved these elegant gold and white studs… You can find similar pieces at 33 Jewels.
