I said “NO NO NO”

The cocktail you’re holding is now a fave fashion accessory – not a trip to REHAB.

What do Lohan, Spears, and Winehouse have in common? Simple! They went from standing on the red carpet to laying on it. Come on, a pretty martini deserves a better rep than this! It’s time we drop ‘Drinkalluwood’ like a Jager Bomb and sip our way back to a Candy Apple Hollywood.
A fashionista without the right accessories is like an angel without a halo. The way we dress and accessorize communicates to the world around us. What if there was a different kind of fashion accessory? One that borders between fashion and a social interaction and exchange? Face it, we all love 2-for-1s. As a modern fashionista, you need to think outside of the 6-pack. Like Audrey Hepburn and her signature long cigarette, let the cocktail in your hand be an extension that emanates your style. This puts a new spin on the common phrase, because now you’re all dressed up, and have everywhere to go!
Although you may not see the models at New York fashion week strutting down the runway with cocktails in hand, everyone knows that the ladies from Sex and the City made the Cosmopolitan a girl’s most sought-after accessory. But let’s get creative; knowing how to liquefy your style is this season’s must-have knowledge. Cheers to liquid fashion being IN and rehab being OUT!
