For those of you that don’t know, the Coco Loso is a drink that Diddy and the Supreme Team (or is it the Dream Team) came up with. It is Ciroc Coconut on the rocks. Some people like to mix it with pineapple juice. Supposedly after you drink the Coco Loso you start acting like a nut! Smh at Diddy and Fabolous and their dance lol. They are too funny. Watch the first 30 secs of this video to see them acting crazy.

Ok so its really not much to the drink, but check out this look I created for the Coco Loso.

This is actually one of my favorite drinks from BBQs.

• 1 pt Strawberry Daiquiri
• 1 pt Pina Colada

In a large glass pour the blue hawaiian, followed by the pina colada, topped with the strawberry daiquiri. Click the links of each part to find out how to make each specific drink.

Here are quite a few looks that will show your patriotism (I know I went a little over board, lol I wanted to give you quite a few options.)

I absolutely adore rompers! So this set features four, simple, plain colored rompers with different shoes that can either be worn during the day or night.

This is my go to BBQ look. A pair of shorts, cute top, cute sandals and a shoulder bag. I can’t let anything get in the way of my food

There will be tons of independence day, red/white/blue themed parties this weekend, so here are some great looks for the evening.

I really love this dress…it is only $28 and it is from Top Shop! This is another night time look complete with accessories.

I hope I have inspired you to show your country some support this weekend. I am not big on red, white, and blue but I had a lot of fun making these sets. Of course you are not limited to these options here, but this weekend, go for bright colors and bold patterns. Dress up your rompers with a cute pair of heels, or dress down a dress with a cute pair of flats. Even if you don’t wear red, white, and blue still have fun showcasing your style. Show your independence through fashion.

Brooklyn Chic by Her Goody Bag featuring Patagonia pants

Yesterday I attended the Brooklyn Blogfest held at the Brooklyn Lyceum. This was the 5^th year for the event and the focus was how and why Brooklyn remains such a rich source of material and inspiration.

The event was hosted by Louise Crawford of Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn and sponsored by Absolut Brooklyn which is a limited edition of apple and ginger. Brooklyn is the only borough to have its own vodka so sorry Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island.

There was also a special photo montage of images of Brooklyn by various Brooklyn Photobloggers like Atiba Edwards of Visual Stenographers (He is from Brownsville)

 Spike Lee and Lemon Andersen were specially invited guests who spoke and performed, respectively. Marty Markowitz, the Brooklyn Borough President, was also in attendance.

Spike Lee spoke briefly on gentrification and how the dynamics of Brooklyn have changed drastically since he was a resident. He also spoke about people not being able to afford to live in Brooklyn because it is becoming to expensive. Spike Lee was very charismatic and funny. He had a lot of great things to say about this great borough.

Lem0n Andersen performed a piece that incorporated all 90+ neighborhoods in Brooklyn. It was simply amazing! The last think he said was “Brooklyn the greatest country in the world, if your not in it your in the way” (So powerful!)

We later broke out into smaller sessions called “Blogs of a feather” and myself and my friend Kim and her friend Shannon attended the arts and entertainment session. It was pretty informative. I found new ways to drive traffic to my site and it was a great time to network. The session was facilitated by Melissa Silverstein of Women and Hollywood and other bloggers such as Elliot Wagner of Now I’ve Heard Everything, were very helpful and knowledgeable.

 There was an “after party” where we met comedian Laurence Covington (he was funny) and MUA/Stylist Donna Jaye. I also met Kitty Bradshaw and saw Eb the Celeb (didn’t get a chance to speak).

 It was a pretty good event. I am definitely going to attend more blog/networking events. I had a pretty good time.

Directions

Chill all ingredients. In a large punch bowl combine peach nectar, concentrated orange juice, lemon juice, brandy and grenadine. Mix well and pour in the carbonated water and champagne.
