Let's Refresh With Bon Affair's Grapefruit-Mango Mimosa

Bon Affair's Grapefruit-Mango Mimosa 

It's Summer so everyone is hitting the gym and watching calories and among those things are the parties that are consistent (especially here in NYC). One of the best enjoyment after a long day is throwing back a cold cocktail that's not loaded with calories. I recently came across Bon Affair, a new premium wine spritizer that made with real California wine, purified sparkling water, electrolytes, no sugar and is half the calories of regular wine. Also the entire Bon Affair 750mL bottle is only 300 calories...just amazing! I have a super delicious  Grapefruit-Mango Mimosa cocktail recipe for your tasting.

Market Appointment: David's Bridal Holiday 2014 Preview

David's Bridal is not reaching for just the Bride only anymore. The niche retailer is opening it's assortment to all of the members of the bridal party. At their holiday preview, I looked at their special event dresses and yes these dresses were super charming however it could be worn to the wedding or other occasions non-wedding related. David's Bridal definitely wants their dresses to last past the wedding ceremony and I think it's a great strategy. Customers now want to stretch their dollar and bring versatility to their wardrobe and David's Bridal is on the right track. They also collaborated with designer Zac Posen to design a few dresses for them to give their customer more of red carpet feel for those special occasions.
