This post is for my mom, who is waiting out Hurricane Matthew in South Florida all cozy in her home with her non impact windows!!!!!! Hopefully, this hurricane will be short and sweet and she will be out and about making cocktails and getting into the Halloween Spirit. For the rest of us, how can you resist these incredible drinks. I learned about a few new types of alcohol writing this post. It’s hard to decide which to try, maybe then we should choose one of each!!!!!! Halloween Party Anyone???

I am on a roll…I just finished last week’s recommendation, The Couple Next Door and just started binge watching The Good Wife. Luckily for me it is free on Amazon Prime Video, you can also stream it on CBS.com!!!. OMG!! I am sooo hooked. I just finished season 1 and have 6 more to go. This was a recommendation from a bunch of readers but my husband’s cousin Alexandra, really convinced me. What a treat. The story line is incredible. And, Mr. Big Chris Noth stars in it as well so how could I not love it!!!!!! Here is the plot….
starring Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who
boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the
workforce after her husband’s very public sex and political corruption
scandal lands him in jail.
I am obsessed with all things Tom Ford..I loved his collection for Gucci, years ago, I adore his lipsticks, every single shade, and most recently his fashion collection. So when I saw his London home that was for sale a while ago, I knew I had to share it with you. I realize that his decor is not for everyone but it is just so chic that you can’t help but appreciate it or even drool!!!! Bon Weekend!!!
Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday is the dynamic duo behind Lola NY in White Plains, Dawn and Denise. I have posted about this great find before…but in case you missed it, the first time, here’s the back story! Many of my readers kept emailing me to check out Lola. My good friend Kelley decided that enough was enough and we had to plan a visit (Lola being one of her favorite local shops). Wow!! Was I blown away! The store is full of amazing accessories and cute clothing items. You can tell that the designers they carry are carefully curated. In fact tomorrow they are having a special shopping day for a wonderful charity and even an amazing give-a-way that you cannot miss. Below are the details….Hope to see you there!!!!
