Pass the Guac
Hope you all have a festive Cinco de Mayo celebration FILLED with margaritas and as much salsa as you can handle. I plan on eating and drinking my weight in guacamole and drinky drinks. This is my favorite faux holiday after all.
And for all of you margarita lovers, here's a yummy recipe courtesy of the L.A. Times.
GRAPEFRUIT MARGARITA
Wedge of lime
2 teaspoons coarse margarita salt
14 ounces ruby red grapefruit juice, with pulp (about 3 medium grapefruits)
1 ounce lime juice
5 ounces reposado tequila
2 ounces triple sec
4 slices grapefruit or twists
1. Run a lime wedge halfway around the rims of four margarita glasses and dip into salt. Set aside.
2. Combine 7 ounces grapefruit juice, one-half ounce lime juice, 2 1/2 ounces tequila and 1 ounce triple sec in a cocktail shaker. Shake over ice until chilled. Strain into two ice-filled, salt-rimmed margarita glasses.
3. Garnish with a twist or slice of grapefruit. Repeat to make two more cocktails.

Writing for Style Me Pretty is an undeniable dream job for little ol' me. I basically get to revel in the glory of all things gorgeous on a daily basis and gush until my little digits are tired of typing. But the downside is that I have become...how shall I say this...a bit more edited in my most coveted wedding tid bits. It takes A LOT to really make my heart pitter patter these days and it's usually something unusual or outside of the traditional wedding box so to speak. Like these pretties:
Hanging flower boxes are my current le love and Amy Osaba happens to craft them like nobody's business. Gorgeous right? Here are few more potentials from around the blogosphere...
