If you live in Charleston you are probably familiar with the baby/toddler line called Pixie Lily. If not I can't wait to introduce you to one of my favorite kids lines. I just adore this line that is designed locally by Leda Jackson. Sterling wore Pixie Lily all the time (sadly he has out grown it ) but now it is my favorite for Frances. I love that Leda's designs are timeless and have a vintage to feel to them. The Spring 2015 line is my favorite yet. I had to get a few pieces for Frances Moon!!
Pixie Lily has graciously offered a 10% percent discount and free shipping thru Sunday! Use code NATXOX.
Ah Happy Hour, my favorite time of the day. Who doesn't love unwinding after a long day? Since we have a new glass cabinet in our kitchen it got me thinking about glassware and the glassware made me think of cocktails! So I decided in honor of the weekend I would share some cocktail recipes paired with some cute glasses!
Just click on the name of the drink to take you to the recipe!

I am a huge fan of anything involving tomatoes! Sun dried or
oven roasted, cooked or raw, red sauce, ketchup, anything tomato… you
name it. So, I am particularly fond of a good Bloody Mary. I have found
that I really love when it involves a lot of goodies. A delicious
beverage and a snack all in one! If you are looking for a new twist on
an old cocktail, here you go! Wade’s Bloody Mary Recipe

This is hands down one of my favorite drinks and I have to say my Dad makes the best one around. The key is not too much vermouth- we actually do no vermouth, just olive juice and he hand stuffs the olives with quality blue cheese.
I have actually never tried Lilet Rose before but I have heard it is so delicious.I would sub vodka for the gin in this recipe because I don't like gin (too many gin and tonics in college and now I can't even smell it). These would be perfect to serve at an Easter Brunch.
I love the idea of these old fashioned coups. The gold dots add a fun spin to the glasses.

I love a cucumber drink in the summer it is so refreshing. Once again I would sub vodka for the gin- they make a great cucumber vodka called Effen you could use for this drink.
These glasses are great because they are double duty, wine or cocktails. Love the sleek look and gold detail.
