There's Finally a Bit of a Chill in the Air...

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all kinds of a summer girl who enjoys a good heat wave more than a cold spell, but it's just not Halloween to me if it's 85 degrees outside... ya know? And as all good Raleigh, NC traditions would have it, as soon as the NC State Fair rolls into town, here comes those brisk days (with spots of warm sunshine) and chill nights that require a jacket!

Now we're talking fall and one of my favorite holidays... Halloween!

If you've put off all Halloween decorating until it was a bit cooler out (like me), then you totally lucked out! Today's Manic Monday blog special is for 15% off all Halloween décor at Swagger!

Happy Hauntings! *insert devilish grin here* ("Boo"... they don't make a smiley for "devilish grin".)

It's About That Time!

I'm finalizing my plans for a weekend with the girls celebrating our favorite holiday from our college days -Halloween!

Monogram Monday: Swagger Finally has a Sweet Tea Pitcher Set...

Swagger Finally has a Sweet Tea Pitcher Set... perfect for those super-popular Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka cocktails that everyone is obsessed with (including me!).

The Swagger girls got their first tastes of the sweet concoction at Buckhead Saloon (one of the only local watering holes that has been able to keep the spirit in stock since it's arrived in NC by way of Charleston, SC) at the Lady Luxury party where shoppers and party-people alike spent a Friday night raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Talk about a great event - shopping and philanthropy in one!

(Check out Swagger girls Mandy and Melissa at the party!)

To celebrate all the excitement that is Sweet Tea Vodka, today's Monogram Monday special is 15% off the Mario Pitcher Set ... just use "Mario15" at checkout to snag this awesome discount!

As fas as cocktails go, here's my fail-proof recipe:
