Weekend Wonders: Dinner & Drinks


With the blissful change of fall weather in the air, it's hard not to feel like celebrating. I even heard Christmas music out last night and haven't been able to stop smiling since.

Tonight I'm due for dinner and drinks with the girls, and in my anticipation I've already created my outfit inspiration. What I would do for the entire ensemble. Oh la la indeed.

Dress: Alice By Temperley Cocktail Sequined Mesh Dress
Shoes: Rupert Sanderson Inferno Ankle Boots
Bag: ChloƩ Rachel Bow Clutch

Drink: Authentic Mojito
10 fresh mint leaves
1/2 lime, cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
1 cup ice cubes
1 1/2 fluid ounces white rum
1/2 cup club soda

Begin by placing the mint leaves and one lime wedge into a glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add two more lime wedges and the sugar, then muddle again to release the lime juice.
Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
