Liquid Diet

Ever have one of those weekends that is defined by what you eat and drink?  Ravaging wildfires, triple digit temperatures and air quality like a coal mine made L.A. a very inhospitable city these past few days, forcing us to spend most of our time indoors with cool refreshments. We worked our way from fresh fruit smoothies to crisp gin and tonics, each drink setting the tone during our self imposed house arrest.

  1. I’m with you all the way except the Dr Peppers thing.

  2. Wow, I had no idea Dr. Pepper came in bottles like those!!
    By the way, where is the tray from? I’m digging the black and white graphic pattern :]

  8. Love the trays!

  9. Limeade is my favorite. I’ve been hooked on it all summer long!

  10. When my LA gal pal told me it got up to 108, I couldn’t believe it. And I’ve been whining about the nineties. Geesh. I could kill several iced lattes a day, even when it’s not smoldering. Ah ha

  11. yay it’s my tray! i’ve been doing pomegranate martinis this summer, the drink is so last year but i just perfected the recipe (ie. use a mix!)

  23. The Dr. Pepper (made with real sugar) is Dublin Dr. Pepper, made at a specific bottling plant in Texas, I think. Not available everywhere, but you can order it directly from the plant. A case of it was a big hit as a Christmas present last year. http://www.dublindrpepper.com

  24. Ill be honest, I am a huge lover of your taste and still have not seen one piece of your jewelry since its all sold out by the time I get there – how is that?! It must be amazing! Can you post pictures of these fabulous pieces so we can see what all the fuss is about? Plus, went to the Barney’s Warehouse Sale in search of the Fendi wedges with the clear sides, then realized you got your hands on them! They were out in my size… but I left with a pair of navy Balenciaga pumps…

  25. wow. i love dp already, but that oldskool version has GOT to taste better than the regular.

  26. Everything looks delish! I’m enjoying berry smoothies inside because it’s freezing outside :( snow up to my knees atleast.

  27. Um, the smoothie and the limeade are looking pretty good!

  28. Love smoothies but don’t know if I would be able to stick to it all the time..

  29. I think I’m going to second this motion out here on the east coast. Starting with a banana blueberry smoothie.

  30. thank you for your point.
