January Girls Night

Ah, winter. The season of snowflakes, cozy vibes, and the inevitable desire to sip cocktails while pretending we’re in the Swiss Alps. But instead of heading to an expensive ski lodge, I’ve decided to bring the luxe après-ski experience straight to my living room. Enter: Beanies & Martinis, a girls' night that’s equal parts cozy and chic—think cozy beanies, a signature espresso martini, and just enough sparkle to keep it fun.

Dress Code:

Okay, let’s be real—while I’ve got some chic yet comfy vibes in mind, I really don’t care what anyone wears. I just love having a girls' night with my best friends. So if you want to show up in your coziest oversized sweater and sweatpants, I’m here for it. But if you feel like getting a little fancy, go ahead and rock a faux-fur scarf or some sparkly accessories. The point is, we’re here to have fun, sip cocktails, and laugh together—no dress code police at this party. Just wear what makes you feel good! But definitely leave your beanie at home - we'll get to that later!

Cocktails:

Now, let’s talk drinks. First, the espresso martini. Because let’s be honest, what's better than a coffee-flavored cocktail? It’s perfect for keeping the night buzzing while you chat and laugh with your favorite people. And then there’s Veuve Clicquot—no better pair than Clicquot and the snow. The best part: glassware that can accommodate both options!

Food:

We’re keeping things indulgent but approachable. Imagine sinking a chunk of bread into gooey cheese fondue while sipping on an espresso martini. Or warming up with a mug of chili—because nothing says "comfort" like a hearty bowl of chili after you've had just enough Champagne.

Decor:

For the décor, think cozy elegance meets winter wonderland. Snow-covered trees (because we can all pretend we’re in the Alps, right?), blankets galore (I mean, we are going for après-ski), and pine garlands to make you feel like you’ve stepped into a luxurious lodge. It’s all about creating an atmosphere where you can relax, sip cocktails, and forget about the outside world—because who needs real snow when you’ve got this kind of ambiance?

Activity:

Now, onto the fun part: DIY beanies! Guests will have the chance to customize their own beanies with iron-on patches, rhinestones, pearls, and pom-poms (yes, really). I’ll have custom graphics and even leather patches on hand. It’s all about making sure your beanie is as unique as you are—plus, it’s the perfect little keepsake to take home. Who says crafting can’t be chic?

And that’s just the beginning! Beanies & Martinis is all about creating a night that’s cozy, chic, and full of laughter. But trust me, the details are what will take this soirée to the next level. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing everything from the perfect espresso martini recipe to DIY beanie customization ideas that will add the perfect personal touch to your night. Stay tuned, because you won’t want to miss how we’re turning this girls' night into something unforgettable.
