    Your co-workers make a plan to go out for drinks after work later in the week to celebrate finishing the most recent big project. Fun! There are a couple key rules for these events: 1) don't drink like a frat boy and 2) don't show too much skin! It's important to maintain a professional demeanor, but still, looking cute and fun for your night out is a must! You'll need an outfit that can transition with just a few quick accessory changes. For instance, if you start with the BR Monogram Collection tulip dress with a sweater for day, then you can easily do a shoe change for heels and make it a classy evening look. Ditch your day purse for a cute and shiny clutch like this Nordstrom square stone silk clutch. If all else fails, just switch your work-appropriate shoes for some sassy wedges like these wave pattern wedges from Anthropologie! Check out my slideshow for other after-work cocktail looks!

    Now matter how often you tell yourself that you absolutely need to officially act on that saving money kick you've been ambitiously planning for months, somehow by the end of the week you find yourself deeper in the hole than you hoped. Even when you try to behave financially and opt for a thrifty Happy Hour in place of your more extravagant night-out plans, somehow your wallet comes home empty by the end of the evening! So if over-spending is inevitable once you step foot out of the house, is the only solution to simply lock yourself up in your house and count the tiles in your ceiling? No way! Sure, desperate times call for desperate measures, but life as a hermit is never the answer! Believe it or not, plenty of fun can be had right under your own roof, especially when you involve the right company! From do-it-yourself photoshoots, movie marathons, and a homemade potluck dinner, you may not have fun for free exactly, but you'll definitely save money and gas while staying comfy and getting the chance to tap into your creative side, too!

    Try as you might to pinch pennies, just being out of the house makes it difficult to save with all the temptations of office-adjacent restaurants and bakeries, coffee dates, to-go menus, and nightclub cover charges. After all, even the biggest bargain Happy Hours add up after a month of sipping! This week, it's simply in the stars to take the time to enjoy the comforts of home with a quiet (or not-so-quiet!) night in, whether relishing your rare alone time, or organizing a fun alternative to bar-hopping with a get-together with friends at your place! Geminis will get to spread the love with their roommates and put their baking skills to the test with a cute cake mold, Virgos will patch things up with a long-lost friend over an at-home spa date, and Pisces girls will finally get to leave the stress behind at work and curl up with a good book! Check out the slideshow for more ideas on how your sign can have fun while staying in this week!

    Summertime is synonymous with delicious treats. Sugary cocktails on hot nights, ice cream cones at the fair, and sticky sweet lemonade at family barbeques. Yum.

    Penchant for perfume and cocktails? Well you're in luck: fashion mogul and fragrance maven Donna Karan has teamed up with p.i.n.k. vodka to create a yummy drink in honor of Karan's sexy new scent: DKNY Delicious Night. The Delicious Night Blackberry Martini captures the essence of Donna's perfume perfectly (a blend of frozen Pomelo, crushed ginger, chilled blackberry martini, and touches of purple freesia) and is not only out of this world fantastic, but super easy to make. We've included the recipe below, along with three other divine p.i.n.k vodka infused drinks: mint condition, p.i.n.k. leprechaun, and p.i.n.k. pumpkin pie. Try 'em out at your next soiree (New Years Eve, perhaps?) and tell us what you think! (Just check out the slideshow for the rest of the recipes and pics!)

    Delicious Night Blackberry Martini

    -1 oz p.i.n.k. ® vodka
    -1 ½ oz cranberry juice
    -approximately 1 oz blackberry brandy
    -½ oz Cointreau ®
    -Splash of sour mix
    -Fresh blackberries

    Directions:
    Combine ingredients over ice and shake well.
    Strain into a well-chilled martini glass.
    Pour 1 ½ scoops of mulled blackberries through the center.
    Stir slightly.
    Garnish with a blackberry on the edge of the glass.

    Enjoy!

    Hive Tip: Avoid ugly hangovers by chasing each drink with a glass of water. Hydration is important people!
