Carrie Bradshaw's Belt

This belt was all over the Sex and the City movie and Carrie Bradshaw wore it well.  She wore it with just about everything, too.  Who knew you could wear a studded belt with formal attire?  Very cool.  Patricia Field (the serie' long time stylist) always comes up with new trends.  This one you could not help zeroing in on in almost every scene.  Buy it on Patricia Field's website for July pre-sale for $120 or you can get it now for $250 elsewhere if you dare.

Dear Old Dad

The man who taught me that saving was important...and so was a good credit report.  Thank you so much for being there for me and giving us unconditional love.  I would be lost with out you and your corny jokes and I thank my lucky stars every day for having you in my life.  Eat unhealthy today and fall asleep on the couch while snoring loudly.  This ones for you!

The Skinny Girl's Margarita

Summertime is margarita time! Margaritas are delicious, but they are loaded with way to much sugar and way too much salt. If you want to bloat up fast, have a few margaritas. Bethenny Frankel, the Natural Foods Chef and co-star of The Real Housewives of New York City has come up with a delicious alternative to sweet margarita mix, called "The Skinny Girl's Margarita". Apparently, clear liquor is the key. Here is also included a link so you can watch a video of her making a frozen batch.

What you'll need:

* 2 oz of clear Tequila (100% agave, Patron Silver)
* (count 1, 2 while you pour, no need for measuring)
* A splash of fresh lime juice
* A splash of Cointreau, Grand Marnier or Triple Sec

Combine all ingredients over a glass of ice

Garnish with a lime wedge and salt (or sugar) if you'd like.

Makes one serving

Pottery Barn makes jewelry boxes

I should say, jewelry boxes to meet everyone's needs. Man, woman, big jewelry collector or someone with a few pieces. They come in different colors also. Classic and lockable. Embossed leather with faux suede lining and compartments to keep treasures organized and protected. I like the big daddy armoire, which features a large divided drawer, sections for rings, earrings and necklaces, storage for bracelets and watches, a mirror and two travel boxes that lay inside. May be monogrammed with a single initial on the interior mirror for an additional charge. 16.5 x 10.5 x 10" h. McKenna Jewelry Armoire, $349.
