Fall Is In The Air

I gotta say, fall is by far my favorite time of the year. When it comes to fashion I find that the best looks make their way out onto the city streets. To start off my fall season I took some of my favorite throwback pieces and put together a comfy, yet polished look for work.

Margarita-ville

As a very early birthday gift from my dad I was given this amazing little machine - The Magic Bullet. Now I'm sure you've seen these puppies all over the infomercials and stores but this... this is by far the most amazing contraption that has ever ventured into my kitchen. 

So of course to celebrate, what do my roommate and I do - make margaritas!!!  Us along with an old roommate of ours created a night out of frozen strawberry margaritas, and frozen cake fondue. Yeah I said frozen cake fondue. But as I'm typing this I realize that I didn't even take pictures of that for you guys... I really do need to stop being so forgetful!! 

Anywho - here are the easy steps to making a low cal delicious margarita. 

Ingredients : Jose Cuervo Tequila | Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix (we used a low cal one but you can pick any flavor) | frozen strawberries (or any frozen fruit of your choice) | ice | some fun margarita cups | the magic bullet (or any blender you have... which if it isn't a bullet you should really get to changing that |
Step 1: Pour 1 part margarita mix, 1/3 part ice, and 2/3 part strawberries into the blending cup.

Step 2: Mix in 1 shot of tequila. 
This will make about 2 servings. Add more tequila in if you like strong margaritas - we just like ours fruity :-p
Step 3: BLENNDDDDDD!!!!
Step 4: Pour into a fun margarita cup and garnish with a strawberry 

Enjoy!
