I promise not to get even the slightest bit annoyed when people press the doorbell 1000 times in a row every ten seconds tonight, but only if I get to wear this Lulu Frost Collage Necklace. I think that is a fair deal, don’t you?

Stunning Spirits: Whisky
Ah, whisky. So many gorgeous bottles, so many different varieties. Scotch, bourbon, rye, Tennessee, Irish, Canadian, there is truly something for everyone. (If you’ve tried a variety and think you don’t like whisky, try a different type, even just a different brand can make a huge difference.) Any of these stunners would look lovely on your bar cart, and make a gift no cocktail lover could resist! As if you couldn’t already guess, my favorite is that lovely little plaid bottle of Scotch Whisky, isn’t it just perfect?

Spooky Swing
I’m usually stumped as to what to play during the Halloween season. The choices are at best overplayed and at worst downright tacky. And those haunted house soundtracks people play with the blood curdling screaming and such? Horrifying, no thank you, I drop my cocktail just thinking about it. This year I am finally prepared with a jazzy little playlist worthy of a swanky All Hallows Eve cocktail party! No screaming, no cocktail dropping, no Monster Mash.
