When it comes to cocktails, I am usually a simple girl. Gin & Tonics are my go-to, sometimes whiskey or an old-fashioned. I usually try an err on the less is more philosophy, especially at a bar. You never know how good a bartender is, and the more ingredients, the more room for error. I feel like I’m in a rut though and my Pinterest has been flooded with some delicious looking spring recipes that I want to try. What better way to welcome Spring than with a new cocktail!

Here are some of my favorites

: Peach Champagne Cocktails

: Lavender Mojito

: Cranberry Thyme Gin & Tonic

: Clementine Gin Fizz

: Blackberry & Meyer Lemon Gin and Tonics

: Candied Grapefruit Cocktail

: Orange & Sage & Lemon & Lavender Vodka Tonic

: Tangerine Old Fashioned

: Cardamom Rose Cocktail

While some are a bit labor intensive, others are extremely simple. I stuck to some of my favorite liquors gin and bourbon, but there are some new ones in the mix that look too pretty not to try!

So I have had my iPhone 4 for a very long time. I passed over the 4s upgrade thinking that a 5 would come out and I would want it. And I do. I’m just lazy and don’t want to go to the Apple store, and I keep spending my money on clothes that I forget about the phone. I hasn’t really bothered me until I went to go look for a new case for my phone. IT IS SO HARD! I can’t find any cases that fit 4/4s that I like. They are all either super bling-ed out or not pretty. Which sounds weird, but I like my phone cases to be functional AND pretty. They are a reflection of my style just as much as my shoes, or bag so I want them to reflect me. Of course everyone is transitioning to the 5 and I will probably have to succumb sooner or later. So I found some cute cases online in preparation for that moment. Whenever it may be.
