Three Cocktails for the Fall Season

The sun sets much later in the evening, the air has a distinct clean chill, the ground crunches when you walk…yes, fall is here. So imagine coming home from work after a long day, to find one of these tantalizing cocktails waiting for you. Embrace the new season with a series of spiced drinks to warm your spirits in the upcoming chilly evenings.

1. The Pumpkin Martini

Everyone seems to love the Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte, so why enjoy that same fall taste with vodka. This recipe is very easy, assuming you have a strainer, tumbler, and can get your hands on some pumpkin spice liquor. But if the Pumpkin Spiced Latte is your favorite, it may be a good seasonal investment to purchase Pumpkin liquor. Here’s how you make it, recipe courtesy of About.com:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 oz Sylk Cream Liqueur
• 2 oz vanilla vodka
• 1/2 oz pumpkin liqueur or pumpkin spice syrup
• 1 tsp whipped cream
• cinnamon stick for garnish

• 

  SPIRAL BLUE BOTTLE

Mmm…Vodka mixed with fashion!

Revolutionary Spirit

Revolutionary Letter #1

I have just realized that the stakes are myself
I have no other
ransom money, nothing to break or barter but my life
my spirit measured out, in bits, spread over
the roulette table, I recoup what you can
nothing else to shove under the nose of the maitre de jeu
nothing to thrust out the window, no white flag
this flesh all I have to offer, to make the play with
this immediate head, what it comes up with, my move
as we slither over this go board, stepping always
(we hope) between the lines

-Diane di Prima

Occupy Wall Street Blog

“The protests have been mostly peaceful. That is, until Saturday, when 700 were arrested after a march on the Brooklyn Bridge spilled over from the pedestrian walkway onto the roadway, blocking traffic for several hours. Most of the demonstrators who were arrested were given a summonses and released.*”

 

Occupy Wall Street protesters are now backed by powerful labor unions with hundreds of thousands of members and millions of dollars behind them. So much for that “nonsense” march, huh? Undoubtedly the Tea Party is cringing in the attention to the left-wing uprising, but the protest isn’t about segregation, even politically. It’s about uniting white, black, rich, poor…because everyone has financial inequality pressing down on them and we’ve all been “scammed.” “In fact, some tea party members have been down to Liberty Square to lend their support. Both groups are fed up with the status quo. Still, the protesters insist they are not all Democrats nor Republicans,” reports ABC news.

Are people now waking up from the American Dream, only to realize they’ve been lulled into exactly that: a complacent, quiet dream? People won’t be complacent anymore, they are standing up, banding together, and fighting with their presence. Turns out the young liberals have learned a thing or two from Egypt: stick together, use your voice, and protest the inequalities. And what better city in the USA to start such a revolution than New York City?

Following suit is Chicago, Illinois; Joplin, Missouri; Fargo, North Dakota; Allentown, Pennsylvania; and more. The revolutionary spirit is spreading like a wild fire around the country!

Vintage cufflinks make a memorable fashion statement

Vintage collections aren’t just for women anymore. There are plenty of vintage men’s clothing and accessories that are just as popular and fashionable. In fact, you probably already own a few vintage T-shirts and have them hanging in your closet right now. Vintage is something that will never go out of style, because in the world of fashion old designs and styles often come back around again. It’s the way the cycle of fashion works. Thankfully, there are plenty of vintage men’s accessories for you to choose from, including cufflinks.

 

Many cufflink designers offer vintage cufflinks or collections, because the vintage category is so popular. Take Daniel Dolce for example, a high fashion cufflink designer with impeccable taste and an eye for fashion. In his unique array of cufflinks, he offers a vintage selection as well. This pair of Daniel Dolce Vintage Cufflinks offers an exquisite design with vintage appeal. If you don’t have a pair of vintage cufflinks in your current cufflink collection, then these Daniel Dolce vintage inspired cufflinks would make a great addition. You can wear vintage with almost anything, but it’s best to sport vintage cufflinks at formal affairs and weddings. You wouldn’t wear vintage cufflinks to a work party or a birthday party. There’s a certain class and esteem that goes hand-in-hand with vintage, and it should be respected as such. If you are going to spend the money on vintage cufflinks, then you should only wear them on special occasions.
