Bacardi and Diet Coke…Zero (of course) – is the perfect cocktail aside from a Gin (Bombay Sapphire) and tonic with two limes.
If you want to watch your calories and carbs, then I suggest these two cocktails!
For the love of the stiletto – See more of my Haute High Heels! list at ThisNext.
Here’s one of Jen and Gretchen’s favorite shoes for Spring – the Stuart Weitzman peep-toe platform that we couldn’t find in the recommendations – You can find it at Scoopnyc.com - love Stuart Weitzman!
Of course I purchased the new CoverToxTen50 Wrinkle Therapy Face Powder, by Physicians Formula. I must say that I love it and I do think it really helps fill in fine lines.
