Cosmo O'clock

Awhile back I did a post on my favorite local Happy Hour spots I've since then discovered a couple more places that I'd like to share with you. if you know me you know I love a good Martini and I'm always on the hunt to try new ones.

First up on the list is Vito's By the Park their Happy Hour is Mon-Fri from 4-8 it's nice and long in case you want to go home and freshen up after work. The decor is warm and welcoming the place has a real rustic vibe with exposed brick walls and white table cloths.Their happy hour features a signature Martini that they choose each day for just dollars (my kinda price point). I've tried a variety of different ones from Pear Mango to an Apple Spice they are all delicious. If your not a Martini drinker like myself they have select wines and beers for five dollars as well. Their specialty pizzas like the Shrimp and Gorgonzola or the Chicken and Pesto are just eight dollars you get a 12 inch pie large enough to share or have leftovers for lunch the next day. Rounding off their Happy Hour their famous mini meatball sliders which are to die for. The staff is also very nice and attentive which is always a plus. Vito's is sure to become one of your favorite spots.


Next on the list Feng Asian Bistro the Menu is quite unique with wonderful little twists on familiar favorites. You will truly enjoy this experience their Happy Hour is short and sweet from 4-6 M-F. Their Happy Hour Menu features select wines by the glass for 4 dollars, Well drink for 5 dollars (vodkas,gin,rum,whiskey) & of course some delicious MartiniZ. "The Feng Shui" is my favorite composed of coconut rum, melon liqueur, sour mix & pineapple juice it's a vacation in a glass trust me you won't be disappointed. My favorites from their food menu include the shrimp shumai (delicious steamed shrimp dumplings) you get 3 for just two dollars (can't beat it). The Angry Dragon roll my other fav which features Spicy King Crab, Spicy Tuna, Shrimp Tempura and Kani, papaya Soy Nori, Eel Sauce and Rutta sauce. This Happy Hour will certainly satisfy any palette.

I hope you enjoy these places as much as I do &  feel free to share with me you favorite Happy Hour Spots.

New Shoes?

What better to go with new shoes than a new dress. I've seen this one at Forever 21 for quite sometime now. It has always caught my eye but some how never made its way into the fitting room with me. Yesterday was my lucky day I tried it on and it looked so good I was upset I hadn't tried it sooner. The fit of the dress is perfect hugs the right places and is forgiving in the tummy area (my problem area). I paired it with my new shoes from Asos get them here. I really like how the look came out I would wear this out to drinks, on date night or even out to party!

Scandal!!

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm A) a Scandal fanatic and B) an Olivia Pope fan. So I decided I would put together a look inspired by none other than Olivia herself. In lieu of the third season debut tomorrow. I pulled out my White Car Coat from Lane Bryant get yours here. You know Olivia is famous for her super sleek outerwear so naturally when I saw the coat I had to have it! Here is my Olivia-esk look. How do you think I did?

Paradise is Calling

I don't know about you but with all the snow and the frigid temperatures we've been experiencing in CT all I've been thinking about is a nice pink sand beach and a frozen alcoholic elixir. I find myself day dreaming of sweet paradise. Now ladies when planning a vacation you will need the perfect swimwear to strut your stuff on the beach. I've compiled a list of sexy swimwear sure to turn heads. The "Fatkini" made its debut last year when blogger GabiFresh collaborated with swimsuitforall.com and released a swimwear collect featuring the infamous galaxy print bikini. Thank goodness other brands have followed suite and now you can find a "Fatkini" in just about every color and print you can think of. Now if your not quite comfortable in a bikini  there are plenty of one piece options available that are just as sexy. Say goodbye to the days of the "swim skirt" & hello to your new vacation uniform. Here are some options I found that I absolutely love. I hope you all find something you like and feel confident in. I know sometime us plus size women find it difficult to look or feel confident in swimwear but there is something out there for all sizes that will make u feel beautiful. My advice try everything on don't let the number on the tag discourage you from finding your perfect swimsuit. Happy Vacationing !!

Sprucing Up The Place

 Nothing breathes life into a room like pieces of your personality. When designing any space be that your bedroom or office cubicle you want it to not only inspire you but reflect your personal style. Interior design happens to be one of my favorite things to do and I'm always thinking of ways to improve my space. I'm moving to a new apt after being in mine for about 2 years and the thought of a whole new space to design gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I'm all about color and a lot of it nothing transforms a room like fresh coat of paint. When designing a space I first think of color scheme. For me I think about what the room will be used for and what feel I want it to have. Then I usually look for furniture focusing on scale and statement pieces. The last things of course arguably the most important are the details. That painting that pulls the whole room together or the small knick knacks that make the space special. Most ppl think to have an amazing space you need to spend a ton of money. This just isn't true you can have a fabulous space on a budget. With places like Ikea,TJmaxx/Marshall's Homegoods, and even your local Target or Walmart. Websites like Joss & Main are also great below are some pieces I've been obsessing over for my new apt. I hope you enjoy!!

Winter Blues

With the recent weather we've been getting in CT it seems like there's one snow storm after another and I've just about had it. So to cheer me up I've been stalking the Asos Curve preview of their New Spring/Summer line. I'm gushing over the drool worthy Blue and White Floral Coat. The line features crisp whites, pretty florals, beautiful lace detailing, and this season's sportswear trend. Asos just gets it right every time and with each collection it makes me wonder why other brands can't do the same? The collection which houses 33 pieces will be released between March & May. Get Ready!!!

Drum Roll Please!!!!








My personal favorites from the collection shown below are The Cropped Black Motto Jacket, The Blue & White Floral Coat, The Striped Black and White Trench Coat, The fun & flirty floral shorts, The White Dress with Lace detailing & The Printed V neck Skater Dress. What are some of your faves?
