Guest Post: This Free Bird (See Jane’s Friend)

It’s Carrie from This Free Bird and I’m happy to be guest posting today for Anna while she and Eric are in Mexico celebrating their wedding.  I started following Anna’s blog about a year ago when each of us had less than 50 followers, so it’s been a lot of fun getting to know her as her blog has grown.  Last fall Anna and I got the chance to meet face to face when she in LA visiting her brother and sis-in-law.  Because I live outside the city and was going out later that night my bf came along and the three of us grabbed lunch and cocktails.  What could have been super awkward for all of us – her having to meet two new people rather than just one, me having the bf in tow like a whack-a-doodle, and him feeling like a 3rd wheel in girl land – turned out to be a conversation and laugh-filled afternoon.  Whew!  It has been great to watch her ring Anna pull all the pieces of their special day together and I’m looking forward to seeing pictures of how everything turned out including, of course, the dress!

Rather than going with a traditional fashion post, I called on the “The Chef” (my bf) to help me come up with a signature cocktail for all of us not in Mexico (21+) to enjoy in raising a toast to Anna and Eric as they start their married life together.  Grab your glasses, liquors and ingredients and let’s get muddling/shaking and clinking.
