Photo Shoot Friday: Cold PBRs and a whole lotta meat

Happy Friday everyone! Last weekend my friends and I had a cookout on the patio at a bar in Brooklyn called Moonshine. It was so much fun—God, I love summer!

Hola! FYI, this is the same skirt that attracted all sorts of unsolicited attention. Remember? Geeze, it's not even all that short! But tight, yes.

Meat! Mmm. I brought chicken, but ended up eating someone else's 'cause I was too lazy to cook it. I left it in a cooler though, so someone went home with a nice little surprise!

Here I am with Nicole, Liza and Jenn. Everyone looked so cute, I wish I had gotten head-to-toe shots. Ohh well.

And it just so happened to be Rocky's birthday. Lookin' good, my man! Tiffany gets him a special peanut butter doggy cake every year from a place in San Diego called My Best Friend Pet Treats. He's one lucky pooch!

Just as I contemplated bending down to help Rocky lick his plate clean, Tiffany busted out these delicious cookies. They were ridiculously good. Ri.dic. She made them from the Jacques Torres French Kiss cookie mix. You MUST try it!

Nicole played beer maid and made sure everyone had a full PBR at all times.

Liza was pretty chill at the beginning of the cookout, but then...

she got a little silly. Which I love. I kept making fun on her for her Lindsay Lohan spray tan fingers, and she finally busted them out for the cam. You can't see it all that well, but trust me, they were orange.

Lauren and Miko! Miko tried to flirt with Rocks, but he wasn't having it. This further supported Tiffany's suspicions that he likes boys better than girls.

This is Bruno. I'm not sure who his owner was. I think he might have been the bar's mascot. And look at the way he's sitting—I imagine that's what doggy yoga would be like!

Love the shades, ladies!

And things got even sillier at the end of the night. I caught this pic of the girls trying to click their heels together. I sprained my ankle doing that once, so I did not participate. No thank you.

So tell me: Who else loves going to cookouts in the summer? What's your favorite dish to make?

Photo Shoot Friday

Happy Friday everyone! My weekend started last night (one of the perks of not having a FT job, or as I like to phrase it, "being my own boss"). I went to a cookout with my friend Megan who is in town from Charleston and my sis, Liza. We planned to "just have one drink," eat a little food and go home. Sounds boring, doesn't it? Yeah, we thought so too. Of course, several bevs were consumed and LOTS of food was eaten. Below are a few pics from the night. 

Megan is the best shopper I know—the girl knows how to find a sale. Yesterday she got two basic tees and a pair of heels on sale at Bloomingdale's, and a pair of shiny leggings at TopShop—all for $100! I wish I had her patience to scour rack after rack. She found this striped top for me at ZARA for $10! She was the voice of reason during our shopping excursion in SoHo yesterday. I saw a pair of studded sandals at TopShop that I was dy-ing for, but she reminded me that I could find an identical pair at Urban Outfitters for half the price. She was right. (Sigh. I hate being broke in this city!)

People kept offering to take pictures for us, but I insisted that I could do just as good of a job. Not bad!

I'm aware this isn't the most flattering photo, but in the spirit of "Photo Shoot Friday," I decided to post it. 

Now here's a REAL photo shoot. We stopped by Liza's shoot in SoHo yesterday—she's a fashion editor at Women's Health!

This weekend is going to be a wild one. One of my BFFs, Becca, is having her bachelorette party in the city. Of course, I'm already worried about totally falling off the wagon in the eating department—I got a head start last night (sausage, chips, M&Ms, oh my!).

Wish me luck, my liver is going to need it :)

Please tell me: What are your tricks for controlling late-night munchies?? I don't want a repeat of the other night!
