London Fashion Week – In Cocktails
First things first – I’m no fashion plate. In fact, I couldn’t tell the difference between Armani, Dolce & Gabanna, or Givenchy. That I even know those are designers (with the help of a Google search) is impressive. (NOTE: Not that I wouldn’t want to learn, say, with a dress up day?)
So when I came across an email regarding Fashion Week in London, my first inclination was to delete. And then I saw that the info was cocktail-themed.
I do enjoy a nice cocktail.
In the spirit of London Fashion Week, the mixologists at The May Fair Hotel in London, the “official hotel” for the week, have whipped up six shoe-inspired cocktails. Imagine a delicious cocktail inspired by your favorite, fun and flirty shoe style. Fun!
Seeing as how most of us probably aren’t headed to London for Fashion Week, the May Fair has made the drink recipes available so that we can mix it up at home. And if you are fortunate enough to snag a seat along the runways, the cocktails are available at the May Fair February 13 – 28.
Cheers!
