Center City Sips

If it’s summer, it’s time for Center City Sips!  Over 90 restaurants are participating on Wednesdays through the end of August with $5 cocktails, $4 glasses of wine, $3 beers, and half price appetizers.  It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

So why not cozy up at Rosa Blanca for a mojito and some chicken croquettes?  (Trust me, they’re muy delicioso.)

A white rose for Rosa Blanca, no?  The Bonita by Paris Hilton is pretty indeed, with its white satin rose at the peep toe.  The whole body and four-inch heel are white satin too, and the one-inch platform as well.  Yours for $102 at Heels.com.

Prefer Japanese?  Refresh yourself with a watermelon soju martini and some edamame at Fuji Mountain.

This amazing beast is the Bling Sai.  The embroidery is inspired by Japanese design, but it’s embellished to within an inch of its life with fancy stitching and rhinestones.  (Just how I like my things.)  The heel’s about five inches, and the platform is about two and a third inches.  It’s available in an ivory combo as well; your choice for $34 from Irregular Choice.

Or maybe you’re swept up in World Cup fever and want to go Brazilian with a Brazilian rum punch and some filet wrapped in bacon at Chima:

This TOMS lookalike is in the yellow and green of Brazil!  And it has “BRA” along the outside of the back, which now that I write it, looks a little indecent.  But it’s for Brazil, people!  The yellow sole makes it for me—it’s so cheery.  And the little triangle of yellow at the top, too.  Yours for $27 from DX Mall.

Whatever you’re craving, there’s a spot for you this summer.  But don’t let it pass you by!  Too many years I’ve forgotten about this until the end of August.  Don’t let my tragic mistake happen to you.
