Being that we are well into the dog days of summer, Jenna has stirred up a deliciously refreshing SWELL SIP. With Fizzy Lizzy Grapefuit bubbles and a perfect rim of salt, it is sure to pucker you up and cool you down. And speaking of dogs, stay tuned for my must-have canine travel gear full of perfect ideas for your wayfaring pooch. We're taking the pups to Palm Springs for a little R&R and while we sip our Summer Salty Dogs, they'll be happily acting like lazy dogs in the breeze of the AC. Happy weekend!
Thanks to dear Jenna (who sends her love and condolences to our freeway-dependent city), we can at least make the most of this silly weekend with a sunny SWELL SIP, a tart mix of lemon vodka, grenadine and sugar. A couple of these plus a viewing of Valley of the Dolls in your lady of leisure outfit, and you'll be sittin' pretty at home without a care in the world.
And if I was going The Dune House, I would absolutely take a fisherman (the Mr. loves these Apolis picks, but can he fish, I wonder?) and of course, the makings for Jenna's Toasted Fisherman, a tawny and cooling Northern hemisphere-inspired SWELL SIP that will leave all your mates jolly as old sailors. As R.D. Culler, author of all things nautical, said, "Boats, like whiskey, are all good."
So. . .down the hatch!

Happy Friday you happy campers! I don't know if you're bound for the woods for a rugged getaway, but whether you're making a mess with s'mores under the stars, or just standing around your TV with the cracklin' fire video playing, this is a minty-fresh Mason jar SWELL SIP from Jenna that will get you back to nature. After her Rhode Island excursion, consider this authentic.
Pardon my tardiness with your SWELL SIP, friends. I came down with something last night and have been sleeping the day away. Jenna Sais Quois and I must be on the same wavelength across the miles as she, too, had a rough go this week. But being the trooper she is, she's come through with a cloudy concoction in honor of Los Angeles' June Gloom. So while we're drinking to the weather, I've made her a gift guide of must-haves for when you're under the weather. Keep your eyes peeled for it and send your good thoughts to dear Jenna. Have a merry weekend!
Many cheers to the holiday weekend! May you soak up some rays (with sunblock, of course), get a dose of R&R and enjoy good company. Our sweet Jenna, before she's off to her getaway in NYC, made us this kitschy elixir sure to put a little pep in your step with a dash of sprite, a touch of coconut rum and a twist of orange. Plus, if you're suited up in this teeny weeny mod bikini, you're sure to look ever the fabulous and chic tart while sipping your Palm Springs Kicker. See you Tuesday my dears!
¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo señoras y señores! Our favorita Jenna Sais Quois has whipped up a very special SWELL SIP this week--the Cinco de Mango Margarita--using fresh fruit plus Los Angeles' own Cobá mango agua fresca. Blended up and served with a chile salt rim, this is one perfect libation for Puebla's victory. And if you're out and about for the Downtown Art Walk on May 12, check out Coba's gallery/headquarters (113 W. 5th Street) to see the artwork of the talented Yolanda Gonzalez. ¡Salud!
Happy Earth Day! Jenna Sais Quois has done it again with a very dapper ensemble from a variety of haberdashers, plus a perfect organic SWELL SIP in honor of La Terra. With some fresh lime and savory basil, this is a refresher that you can keep making well through the summer. And even should you shed the sweater come June, don't lose the Forage bow tie if you're going to toast with this G&T as it's made specifically for a modern eco-gent (because don't all proper gents wear bow ties?). Here, here!
*While you're visiting Jenna, make sure to check out the Eva Sais Quois gift guides including a roundup of Earth-friendly must-haves for that fellow greenie and today's garden party collection for your pastel weekend. 
The clouds may have rolled in for a bit yesterday, but I'm pleased to announce a new feature/blog-swap that will give you reason to throw on your wellies and toast to the spring showers. Brought to us all the way from the very lovely Jenna Sais Quois, get your shakers and your glasses ready for this dizzying array of SWELL SIPS and fabulous frocks. Bottoms up!
