Nekter Juice Bar Cocktails at SOL Cocina & Solita Tacos

For the rest of this week, SOL Cocina in Newport Beach and solita Tacos & Margaritas in Huntington Beach will be serving up specialty cocktails with Nekter Juice Bar's Nekter on the Rocks. Yes, you read right, specialty cocktails using juice mixes from one of my favorite juice spots! solita will be featuring the solita Bubbly Beach Berries, made with Nekter on the Rocks' Beach Berries mixer, a breezy blend of strawberries, blackberries, lemon, agave and basil. SOL Cocina will be featuring The SOL Sunset, made with Nekter on the Rocks' Arizona Sunset, a blend of grapefruit, orange, blood orange, peach and agave.
I got to taste the cocktails for myself, and I have to say the Bubbly Beach Berries was my fave. I also took home two bottles of Nekter on the Rocks along with a recipe and will be attempting, keyword, attempting to make the cocktails myself. You can pick up any or all three Nekter on the Rocks juices from any Nekter Juice Bar location!
Here are the available flavors and how to make your specialty cocktail:

Beach Berries � a breezy blend of strawberries, blackberries, lemon, agave and basil.
Just add vodka and a splash of club soda for a Beach Berry Martini - basil for garnish. Make a splash into your favorite champagne for a Beach Berry Mimosa, or add to sparkling water or club soda for a non-alcohol refresher.
SoCal Margarita � a healthy California-inspired take on the classic margarita, made with lemons, limes, orange and agave.
Just add tequila for a refreshing margarita! Add SoCal Margarita mix to sparkling water or club soda for a refreshing, citrus-filled spritzer.
Arizona Sunset � a dazzling sunset in a bottle made with grapefruit, orange, blood orange, peach and agave.
Add to your favorite rum, and pitch a mini umbrella under the desert sun! Just add vodka for a beautifully bright martini, or sprinkle a dash or two into Champagne for a Sunday morning mimosa.

Floral Print Maxi Dress for Summer

I'm currently in Sacramento, visiting our state's Capitol! If anyone has any suggestiosn on places to eat or things to do, please tweet me! I wanted to share the second look out of the three summer style outfits I styled from OC Goodwill Boutique finds at their Huntington Beach location. I think floral print screams Spring/Summer fashion and the brighter the colors, the better. I tend to go for a slight abstract print, so I like how this floral print almost looks like watercolor. The blue clutch complemented the blue hues of the dress perfectly, and I threw on a cheery yellow kimono-like wrap just in case it got chilly. Wearing espadrille wedges keeps the hem of the dress from dragging on the ground, and adds some height. Read more about the look here.

Summer Outfit for the Beach to Street with OC Goodwill

I was thrilled when the Goodwill of Orange County asked me to blog about summer style featuring outfits from their newly revamped OC Goodwill Boutique in Huntington Beach. I attended the grand opening day which was a mad house, but hey, at least the opening was a success, customers were snagging up great finds, and it all benefited the community and Goodwill cause. This location marks OC Goodwill's third boutique location and it's huge, which is why I found so many great pieces to style summer outfits.

This first look out of three features a sheer, printed top with shoulder detail. I wanted to put together an outfit that was relaxed, but fashion forward and could seamlessly be worn from the sandy beach to a lunch date at a chic cafe.

I wore the top off one shoulder and over a simple bikini top. I finished the look with mint colored shorts that matched the print of the top, tan espadrille platforms, and a backpack. Visit the OC Goodwill blog to read more about this look and how it's a great beach to street look.
