Miz Mooz is a new fave brand of ours. It places value on comfort and simplicity unlike the usual affordable Shoesies.  Miz Mooz has a team of international designers cranking out cute designs all year round. I’m digging their shoes because they have a European element to them (besides quality). Their styles are eclectic and edgy. When I checked out their website, they describe their story as a “Cinderella story.” I mean how could I not want to buy a pair after that!? They say their shoes make you feel like you’re wearing a comfortable glass slipper! I mean, how cute!

They’re avail all around the city at Infinity Shoes, which is where I found them. I love that shoe store. They carry so many quality brands. And since I’m a granny I need me some comfy sandals! I may need to invest in a pair of Birkenstocks. They also carry the infamous Fit Flops. Does anyone have any thoughts on these? I’m thinking of investing in a pair. I doubt their abilities to build my leg muscle but they look comfy.  Gus Gus? What do you think?

We’ve always been skeptical about whether fortified juices, sodas, protein bars, and the like are actually as healthy for us as the real food. We’ve never really believed that drinking vitamin water, packed with sugar is counteracted by the vitamins. Click HERE to read a Wall Street Journal article discussing fortified foods.

The hottest thing of summer? Looking hot in your bikini. It’s so hard  though with all the happy hours, etc. So what every girl needs are Cocktails that won’t make us blow up like a balloon! Cue celeb inspired cocktails made with HINT water (zero calorie flavored waters) Celebs have designed some of their own unique cocktails using hint flavored water. They’re going to be serving them up at NYC bar called, Local. (NOTE–not Death & Co. as I originally mentioned.)

Ever since the roaring 20s we’ve seen fashion change, develop, then resurface AND now, designers are doing the same with cocktails. Summer styles from Marc Jacob’s “Depression Chic”, to Tory Burch’s 60’s “Swag”, to Pucci’s “70’s Flare” all the way to Ralph Lauren’s “Classy 90’s” are coming off the runway and into the bar scene. The designers participated in Local’s “Mixology Cocktail Contest” where the designers were tasked to reinvent cocktails of the past… The winning cocktails are then offered on the summer menu available July 1 – September 15^th. Local is NYC’s trendy “speak-easy”, known for it’s innovative mixologists and throw-back cocktails (located in the Lower East Side).  Designers had the chance to not only have fun experimenting in the dressing rooms but in the bar as well.

Designers like Tory, Ralph and Marc designed vintage inspired cocktails – Tory modeled her drink of choice back to the Tiki Drink years (think the 60’s movie “Beach Blanket Bingo”) and Marc taking a spin off the Flapper’s favorite Mint Julep which hasn’t been in fashion since the 1920’s. The one common ingredient that these designers share isn’t the cocktail color pallet, but the 0 calorie mixer – HINT Essence Water that gave them the no-cal flavor.

If I were y’all I’d opt to taste these drinks at home. Make a tiki-inspired Tory Burch Tiki-Tini. We haven’t tried this HINT yet so let us know what you think in the comments!!
