Hamptons Top

Boden is a go-to for summer clothing. Last year I ordered a tunic that's very similar to this year's style Hamptons Top. It was great for traveling and throwing on with jeans. You can save 25% off selected items and 15% off everything else plus free shipping with the code CAF1.

Anchored Style Neckwear

Anchored Style has come out with some stylish bowties that are all made in the USA. They sent JCW the Red Signal Flags and we were both very impressed with the the quality.

Happy Memorial Day

Thank you to everyone that has served our country as well as their families for their support.

I have spent the weekend relaxing and checking out sales like this one at J.Crew...if spend $250 you get $75 off. My mom and I combined our purchases when she picked up this Double Breasted Blazer.



I have also been enjoying listening to music like Darius Rucker's version of Wagon Wheel...

and debating on purchasing this Nautical Flag Bracelet.

Enjoy the holiday! xx

Black-Eyed Susan Remix

The Black-Eyed Susan which is the official drink of Preakness served at Pimlico was updated this year by mixtress Gina Chersevani of Hank’s Oyster Bar. It was shocking to see a Susan with a pink hue instead of orange but the cocktail was rather tasty.

Black Eyed Susan
1 ½ oz. Finlandia Vodka
½ oz. St. Germain Liqueur
1 oz. lemon juice
½ oz. raspberry juice or strawberry juice (squeeze and strain yourself, or purchase at Whole Foods Markets)
½ oz. simple syrup
Half a stalk of lemongrass
1 sage leaf

How to you feel about the remix? Should they have stuck with the traditional recipe or is Pimlico merely getting with the times with this fancy new cocktail?
