#CincoDeMayo Light Margaritas

May 4, 2016

/ drinksfoodstyleuncategorized

Hola! My favorite holiday is only one day away and I’ve never need a margarita more in my entire life. This past month has been so busy, I cannot complain at all because it’s been some of the best experiences ever.. but man am I tired. 

I’ve come up with a list of why Cinco de Mayo may be the best holiday ever #MoveOverSanta. 

1. Mexican. Food. Need I even say more?

2. Coronas and Margaritas. No body does alcohol like Mexico.

3. Bright colors. While Spring is filled with soft florals and romantic pastels, May rolls around bringing in the fun prints, bold colors and fun details (like pom poms and tassels!)

I wanted to share a super quick, easy and some what healthy Margarita recipe i’ll be serving at our fiesta tomorrow & a bright, Summer look you can rock all season long!

Today I overslept, dreaming I was sailing away on a cruise ship. I’m not even mad I over slept because I got a new blow dryer that makes my hair dry so fast. Mainly, I was just craving a tropical cocktail and decided to stray away from my usual Corona for Cinco de Mayo and whip up something citrus-y. 

I’m not always the biggest fan of Margs, sometimes they’re too sweet for me or too tart and often make my stomach hurt. I’ve found these citrus margaritas are the perfect balance of everything, with easy ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge! 

Denim Shorts *On Sale //  I’ve talked about these once, I’ve talked about these a million times. First, I’ve had these shorts for a little over a year and the quality is amazing. Second, the fit is better than any denim short I’ve ever owned. I love that they are loose around the thighs, that is my number 1 pet peeve! I promise you will get more than your money’s worth. 


Fiesta Tee // This tee is actually from the kid’s section (I’m wearing an XL) but I’m definitely having a Summer fling with graphic tees, they’re my fave right now. Shop more graphic tees here. 


Pom Pom Sandals // The pom pom sandal trend has been on my radar for a few months now, but almost every pair I’ve seen is over $100. I try not to spend that much on shoes unless they’re a class I know I will wear year after year. These are adorable and come in under $45! Total score. 


Karen Walker Sunnies *On Sale // My favorite sunglasses right now and lemme tell ya, I am picky with glasses. They are so easy to throw on, comfortable to wear and go with every look from cocktail attire to workout gear. 


I hope you all have a fabulous Hump Day! If you need any recipes for your fiesta tomorrow, this Skinny Cilantro Lime Chicken is one of our all time favorites and add me on Snapchat (RileyBrahm) where I’ll be sharing a Pineapple Gaucamole recipe tomorrow! XO
