What does your summer drink of choice say about your personal style? Take this fun quiz to see what your favorite hot weather drink might say about your fashion sense!
Mojito
Traditionally, a mojito is a cocktail that consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime juice, sparkling water and mint. The original Cuban recipe uses spearmint or yerba buena, a mint variety very popular on the island. Its combination of sweetness, refreshing citrus and mint flavors is intended to complement the potent kick of the rum, and have made this clear highball a popular summer drink.
This minty, refreshing drink pairs fresh mint and bubbly lime to create a refreshing summer drink that is as bright and fun as you are. If the simple classic taste of a mojito is your choice for summer, you'll love the crisp, clean look of our
Cloud Forest Choker.

Shirley Temple
A Shirley Temple is a non-alcoholic mixed drink made with ginger ale and a splash of grenadine, garnished with a maraschino cherry. Nowadays, lemon-lime soda is often substituted in part, or in whole, for ginger ale. This sweet pink cocktail brings to mind the innocent femininity of Shirley Temple herself.
If girly style is your forte, bring it out this summer with the
Tagua Pathways Necklace, which beautifully brings to mind the sweet cherries that always top a Shirley Temple, adding a touch of vintage charm to your favorite summer looks.
Margarita
The margarita is a cocktail consisting of tequila mixed with orange-flavoured liqueur and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the glass rim. It is the most common tequila-based cocktail in the United States. The drink is served shaken with ice, on the rocks, blended with ice (frozen margarita) or without ice (straight up). Frozen or on the rocks, this sweet and sour summer cocktail makes a great choice when paired with Mexican food, and it shows off your fun, flirtatious style.

Handmade Henri Clutch, perfect for a night out.
White Wine
White wines are made from the grape juice and grape skin of
green, gold or yellowish colored grapes or from just the juice (not the
skin) of select red grapes (as in some Champagnes). They are more refreshing, lighter in both style and taste than the
majority of their red wine counterparts, making them ideal for spring
and summer occasions. Especially chilled, white wine shows off a refined, conservative style and a fondness for sparkle and shine.
Add an unexpected dash of hipster to your white wine style with the
Floral Embossed Leather Link Belt. This beautiful handmade leather belt is as versatile as your favorite Pinot Grigio, making a perfect compliment to easy summer dresses or adding an extra touch to casual summer jeans and shorts; available in rich chocolate brown or delicate dusty rose.
Strawberry Lemonade
Strawberry lemonade takes the refreshing citrus flavor of traditional lemonade up a notch with the addition of sweet summer berries. This summer classic may seem like a delicate, feminine drink but it adds a particular dash of unexpected tartness with the lemon juice.
If strawberry lemonade is your summer drink, you've got a hidden streak of daring. Let it out to play with the
Same Sky Glass Beaded Bracelet in sweet hibiscus pink, or add a spark with the dark and glittering electric sky.

Shopping for a Change® (SFAC) empowering others, transforming lives® is a web-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization where artisans (predominantly women) from developing countries, sell their handmade creations enabling them to earn a sustainable income and lift themselves from poverty. The net proceeds subsidize community improvement projects abroad as well as help fund select U.S.-based non-profit organizations of the web shopper’s choosing from SFAC’s partner list.
The Ladies Night Out event was well attended even though it rained fairly hard—but that didn't keep the ladies away. There were about thirty vendors that included goods and services being offered. We were the only nonprofit organization. People loved our business model and were excited to choose a U.S. nonprofit organization to receive a portion of the net proceeds from their purchases. In three hours we sold over $1600 in accessories, home decor and apparel. We were asked not to bring our jewelry this time since there were already several jewelry vendors there, but they will be hosting a spring event prior to Mother's Day, & they want us to make our jewelry the focus for that one.
Biggest sellers of the night were the new Peruvian Embroidered Belts from Jenny Krauss, our Bamboo Fruit Bowls, the Teak Cheese sets, & Horn and Bamboo Salad Servers all from Be Home, our Scarves and Animal Kingdom Coin Purses from Fredd & Basha, and the Small Ceramic and Grass Bowls, trivets, and placemat sets from Gone Rural.
