Happy First Tuesday of 2022!
Can you even believe it?
Call it cliché but I always love a fresh start. A new season, a new month, and I (usually) love Mondays. I always look forward to a new year. Now after 2020 and 2021 I feel we enter a new year a little more gingerly.
When the new year starts, I always do a breakdown of what The Fast Fashionista will bring you throughout the year. I like to have a plan and concept before just running a muck. So here it is:
Fashion and Lifestyle
Many moons ago on this blog I would do posts on outfits and their color palettes. This is going to be a big focus on putting outfits together fast and easy with a palette. Hopefully, more home décor content as well.
Perfectly Plated
I have such a passion for cooking and I love sharing that with you. Here, I’m going to learn more about actual plating, give you fast weeknight meals, and of course My usual fancy made easy recipes.
My Martini Moment
Fun and fancy cocktail recipes as always. This has turned into one of my favorite parts of this blog. Not only am I making these recipes easy but I want to build them from liquors that aren’t obscure or hard to find. I started this part of my blog about six or seven years ago when on a Friday, after a stressful work week, I would sit at my bistro set in my dining room and have a dirty martini. I would laugh to myself and think “This is a lovely Martini Moment”.
I’m sentimental about certain things and now this bistro set lives refinished in my bedroom and I thought it was only appropriate to shoot this photo here. I think everyone should know how to whip up a classic Dirty Martini.
what you do:
Grab your favorite martini glass and I throw in my olives first (Feta or Gorgonzola stuffed). Then add in Vermouth. In a shaker with ice add in vodka and brine. Shake, shake, shake! Swirl the Vermouth up into the glass and then add in the shaker goods. If you like it more “dirty” add in more brine.
fun fact: it’s bad luck to garnish your martini with an even number of olives. Do one or three. Five if you’re like, hungry.
Thank you for stopping by!
I’m so excited to share some new fun things with you!
