A Fetching Fall Day In NYC

A Fetching Fall Day In NYC

Well it’s officially Fall! Well it is according to Twitter, The Weather Channel and our very accurate daily calendar. Though our body temperatures seem to disagree.

California Cosmo

California Cosmo

I have been wanting to launch the California Cosmo for years! Who doesn’t love the classic Cosmo, really? It’s pink, it’s pretty and it makes you feel like a million bucks when you’re sipping amongst your finest friends. The bummer news here is that your traditional Cosmo, has over 350 calories. OUCH! After two or three of those go down you’re due for nearly two hours on the treadmill if you want to keep you butt in line (which I imagine most of us do). So the best solution, Eat. Drink & be Skinny's California Cosmo! It's the perfect combination of light citrus vodka with tart cranberry and pomegranate twists, but with only a fraction of the calories.

Women's Health & Fitness Day

In my book, a good exercise session involves a worthy reward. I’ll walk for miles if my journey ends at the ice cream shop. I’ll jog—to meet a friend for a manicure. And if there’s a picnic finale for my bike ride, I’ll be pulling on my spandex shorts. I love to bike —I really do. Since I spend a lot of time cooking and eating, and I’m known to mix up drinks to toast, with friend, to all our hard work, I end up craving the physical exertion of a cruise through the park, both the tough uphills and the exuberant downhills. (I waxed poetic about riding the Manhattan Bridge recently, in this post .) By the time I’m done sweating, my mind and body are both in the mood to relax and hang out with friends.

A "Bronx Tale" Inspired Day: Food + Fashion

Hey Loves, I was lucky enough to have celebrated my 3 YEAR Anniversary with the boyfriend this past Tuesday! I know, that is CRAZY right? Those of you who know us, know that our relationship has not been "perfect" but it has been an incredible ride thus far. We are the typical NYC "urban" couple (for those of you who DON'T know us- didn't want to leave you guys out). We share a love of art, design and mob movies. With that being said, instead of having a typical date for our anniversary, we decided to head down to the famous Arthur Ave, in the Bronx.  The neighborhood that Arthur Ave is in, is actually the SAME neighborhood that the movie a "A Bronx Tale" was filmed in 1993! That is my favorite mob related movie of all time!...Read More

Saturday Night Product Review

I’m trying to do these every Friday, however being without my computer for two days put me somewhat behind. Sorry yall. Anywho- the last time I did a photo shoot I got to unexpectedly try a new facial cleanser from M.A.C. The reason for this is because I’m kind of anal about washing my face and using a scrub before having makeup applied. I know that if I don’t, because I know my own skin rather well, that the heavier makeup needed for these shoots sometimes will not stay on me very well. It’s not a reflection of the makeup or the makeup artist but rather just how my skin reacts. I was working with a new makeup artist- for me- as Jenny had that day off for her birthday.

I Got To Meet Coach Bill Curry

I Got To Meet Coach Bill Curry

I never in my life would have thought I’d brag about meeting a Tech coach. No one within the state of Georgia needs for me to elaborate what I mean when I say that either- “Tech” is said with this certain venom almost from any UGA fan. But, my cousin, Pete Wellborn, played there… so for me it’s more about this inside family rivalry. In our house you only went to a few colleges: Mercer, Wesleyan, UGA or Tech. Not many went to “Tech”. In fact when you go to the Wellborn home on Spring Street it is filled with both UGA and Tech fan gear. Let me preface this for a little bit: for the next few months I am blessed to work with the United Way of Central Georgia as a Loaned Executive. I have learned SO MUCH in the past week.

This summer I joined the Smirnoff Hub and having been sharing a few fashion related posts on the network. It's been such a fun experience. Made even funner (<---is that a word?) when they sent me this lovely gift set filled with a super chic OPI nail polish set, and a collection of their yummy sorbet flavored vodka in a cute pink shoe! I wish I got the full pair because it was actually my size! The end of summer set came at the perfect time because a good friend of mine just broke up with her beau that day. Of course I had to invite her over for drinks and a free mani. We had a lovely post break-up Girls' Night In thanks to Smirnoff Hub! http://www.fetedujuliet.com/post-break-up-party/

July 4 is by far my favorite American holiday. It's happy, the weather is always favorable, and it's a good excuse to rock some waist-friendly recipes for your friends and family in a delish BBQ setting. Personally, it's also a good opportunity to wear red, white, and blue nail polish, but that's just me. Every year I dream up a new light and refreshing cocktail (nothing too heavy, it's hot out and your friends should be able to enjoy the day), light patriotic candles around the table as the sky dims, and serve a huge bowl of fruit salad (seriously, it's shorts weather, I prefer to keep my meat on the grill rather than on my thighs).

This summer I’ve been trying to step outside my usual Sauvignon Blanc pour and instead mix up a cocktail or two.

Anyway, this little concoction came from the desire to have something crisp, cool, and refreshing on these hot Atlanta days. Well that and I had about a pound of fresh blueberries in the fridge and my mint leaves had begun to take over my entire garden and needed to be used stat. So from that my Smirnoff Blueberry Mint Fizz was born. And of course I had to take it one step further and make it just a tad fancy by making some blueberry and mint ice cubes. Perfection.

All I Needed Were Brussels Sprouts

All I Needed Were Brussels Sprouts

Ok, I have the pork chops marinating in the lemon thyme jelly… that’ll be good but we need fresh veggies. Just can’t go with the canned. Brussels Sprouts- yeah those will be good. Stupid rain, of course it starts to pour AS I am on the interstate- one of the things that scares me the most- rain on the interstate just out of nowhere. Good lord I can’t see… Starbucks before or after? After… it’ll be easier to carry it if not in grocery store… Parking. Of course it’s still raining and I have zero umbrella. Awesome. It’s still in his car- awesome. Ok so… ” Oh hey! How are you? Good to see you!” I don’t come in this store too often, ok bear left Brussels Sprouts should be over there…. ok here we go. Interesting! They’re...Read More

Recipe: Fresh +Healthy Green Juice Cocktail

Recipe: Fresh +Healthy Green Juice Cocktail

Over the last few months I've mentioned my switch to a healthier way of eating. It's nothing complicated, just plenty of whole fruits, veggies, and proteins, an increased fat intake for greater satiety, and as few refined foods as possible. So when Smirnoff asked me to create a cocktail that incorporated my new habits, I knew just where to turn: my favorite green juice! Many cocktails use simple syrup for sweetness, but this one relies only on fresh fruit. I used my juicer at home—I'm partial to a pear, kale, parsley, and cucumber blend—but any bottled green juice you like will do too! Simply measure 5 ounces juice to 1.5 ounces Smirnoff Sorbet Light Lemon for a clean, crisp cocktail that pairs nicely with veggies, dip,...Read More
