The laundress has a nice guide here: https://www.thelaundress.com/clean-talk-blog/a-smooth-process-for-washing-silk.html. And if you don't want to shell out for their washing products, Woolite works well too.

Unfortunately, they are crazy collectible and ones in great shape have sold for $150,000 or more in recent years. I look all the time at ones for sale. Alessandra Branca and Amanda Lindroth have them of course. I am going to have to find an alternative at those prices. A 2002 BMW from the 1970s in light blue or a Karmann Ghia convertible from the 70s in orange are both in the running.Beth Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443450944645563476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-84891146959805790642020-07-05T13:26:22.801-04:002020-07-05T13:26:22.801-04:00OK.

White wine in summer is my go to. I buy bags of frozen fruit which is used in two ways. One is an ingredient for smoothies, the other is added to my glass of wine which keeps the wine cool in this heat. The additional benefit: eat the fruit after dinner as it has been soaking in the wine....delicious dessert! Heading to pour a glass just now.

And definitely, it's worth coordinating your cocktail with your outfit.<br /><br />I did see several variations of a recipe for a drink called the Pink Flamingo. It seems like a perfect choice for Florida. With so many variations, there would have to be one you would enjoy.<br /><br />Thanks for taking me down a rabbit hole of drink recipes today! I will probably end up having an Aperol Spritz with the fireworks tonight, haven't had one for a while. They sneak up on me....Rooskie Dooskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382838818535972551noreply@blogger.com
