My Miu Mius and I joined stylish author, Colleen Mullaney, and the team from Serendipity at Peridot Fine Jewelry for an evening of book signing, bubbles and baubles. Colleen graciously signed a book for our Give Away winner, Jess! That will be coming your way soon!!
The drinks of the evening were the Love Hangover (my fav – because it’s made with champagne) and Ruby Slippers, straight from the pages of Colleen’s latest book, The Stylish Girl’s Guide to Fabulous Cocktails.
Love Hangover
Colleen spoke about the importance of keeping things simple — the flowers at the event were even cut from her garden. Gathering with friends isn’t about the perfect decor….it’s about welcoming them through the door. Clear things away, put out simple snacks, make a pitcher of drinks so you’re not constantly re-filling and then put on the music. Colleen says that music is a “must have” accessory.
Jamie Joseph rings
And, to take it completely over the top….Peridot Fine Jewelry owner, Dawn Hendricks, gave 15% off her beautiful baubles to all who were there!!!
I’ll be sporting my new Elizabeth Showers (yes, daughter of Jan!) ring this summer!

Whether you prefer your Louboutins or your Choos….there’s a drink to match your style!
What cocktail will you be serving before SATC2 (tonight!!!) or over Memorial Day Weekend?
xo, Elizabeth
Keeping it simple is great advice – especially when faced with a weekend full of BBQ's and entertaining. The gal pals and I are breaking out the caipirinhas tonight before hitting the movies in Bedford.
Oh yum! I want a "love hangover"! And…a "cocktail ring"! You go to all the fun events…{insert pouty face here}.
Buzz – love caiprinhas — sounds like a perfect kickoff to the movie. I'll be in your neck of the woods on Saturday night at the Bedford Post Inn!
Zhush – we'll have to concoct some!!! Something tells me you get your share of swanky events, too! (insert wink here).
I love that first line! "My Mui Mui's and me…." greatness!!! those rings are awesome. Which one did you get? do share!!! That's a fun evening. Drinks and jewelry 🙂
are you going to SATC2? If you do, you MUST post a review. I hardly ever go to the movies. They are remodeling the theatre in HPV and i am so lazy that if i can't walk I dont' go so I'm going to wait….. you need to head back down here and check out all the updates! Like Victory Park and downtown! i think it' s much different than when you left it. 🙂
but seriously, i want to see the ring you got! these are all gorgeous!!
What a great evening you must have had. The eye candy for the fingers are beeeeaaautiful!!! Drinks and jewelry doesn't get any better than that…lol.. hugs ~lynne~
What a beautiful party! The Love Hangover looks fantastic and I can't wait to hear what the Ruby Slipper is. Those rings are gorgeous….I need to make my way to NY and all these fun events.
I don't have and Louboutins or Choos, but I love a good cocktail and simple entertaining done with a bit of flair!!!
Looks like a very enjoyable evening!
Lynne — i'm with you!
Alexis — I think it's time for you to visit this coast!
A & A — I'm pretty happy in my flip flops a lot of the time!!
