This Week's Trends

1. Cucumber Vodka (Mix in some fresh watermelon and you've got yourself a refreshing drink Bull & Bear coined The Lush. It's perfect for summer's afternoon garden party.)
   
2. Basil (This bad boy can be added to various cocktails, such as a strawberry martini, to add a little peak of interest.)
   Sangria con vino blanco (Not such a great one, there’s a reason you've never tried the white.)
   
3. Scruff McGruff (Facial and chest hair is oh so in vogue, yet another throwback to the 70s.)
   
4. Clashing vs. Coordinating (Vogue claims matching is back but to a whole new level. We're talkin' the same heather snakeskin pumps, skirt and bag. I can't see it; I'm still a fan of being adventurous with the ensemble by mixing patterns and colors. Matchy-matchy is way too boring. Where is the fun in that?)
   
5. Vibrant Colors (Just saw Confessions of a Shopaholic and fell in love with PF’s mix of bright hues. To mimic the look, use pieces that are around the same brightness.)
