Cocktail Time

We wanted to create a fabulous Frisk cocktail for the holiday season, and who better to turn to than the amazingly innovative Evan Faber, beverage director at SALT the Bistro. For our drink Evan decided to turn up the heat and get frisky as the cold weather approaches. 

"Chocolate en Fuego"

1.5oz Your favorite Reposado Tequila
.5oz Peppermint Schnapps (or Rumpleminze)
Add above ingredients into a cup of rich hot chocolate
Top with a small dash of Cayenne pepper-- just enough to warm the palette.

A cocktail dress doesn't need any spicing up, but of course a little tequila never hurts. It's the perfect winter trifecta: A warm cocktail, a hot holiday dress and radiant 1950's rings. Even though it's chilly outside you can still sport a little ice on your fingers. 

Visit Evan at SALT and create your own custom cocktail through his unique DIY libation program, the Cocktail Element. Inspired a pre prohibition cocktail model, all infusions are made from scratch and in house. It's a cocktail experience you don't want to miss.

GET FRISKED

Thank You for Being a Friend

We recently asked NYC jeweler Karen Yost the inspiration behind her collection of jewelry entitled “The Girls,” which pays tribute to the late eighties television program “Golden Girls.” Yost’s jewelry has been worn by Drew Barrymore, Gwen Stefani, Cyndi Lauper, Janeane Garofolo and Amy Sedaris. 

"I have been an avid fan of the 1980's program The Golden Girls since I was a little girl. To this day I find the humor infectious, the actresses hilarious, and the issues timeless. That is to say, even though I have seen every episode more than a few times I never tire of them. I made the series 'The Girls' to pay homage to my favorite cultural icons. To do them justice, I made them into actual icons in the form of quasi religious charms. May The Girls live forever in our memory!-" Karen Yost.

Style We Love- Emilie

It's hard not to notice Emilie's style. She's bohemian yet chic, earthy and glamorous with hints of rock and nods to her Wyoming upbringing. She always looks cool and unique, but never like she's trying to hard. We caught up with her on Pearl Street while she was cruising on her bike. 

What is your current occupation? If you’re a student what are you studying?

I am currently a full time student, yogi, and experiencer of life to the fullest. I

study advertising with a spanish emphasis in the School of Journalism and Mass

Communication at University of Colorado at Boulder. I also work part time at CorePower Yoga (I am OBSESSED with it!)

What (and who) are you wearing?

I am wearing some Frisk jewelry... the emphasis of my wardrobe. I can't tell you

how many compliments I have gotten on my snake armband! Some ribbed up

jeans from Bershka in Barcelona, Spain and a Bebe tank top. I'm cruisin' on my Paul Frank bike.

Thanks Emilie, the jewelry looks great on you. Where did you grow up?

Born and bred in Jackson Hole, Wyoming! Shout out to the Cowboys. 

Describe your style when you were 12 years old.

Oh wow. Do I have to? Tomboy. I wore Jenco Jeans (is that how you spell it?).

They were SUPER baggy with ridiculous cartoon characters on the pockets. I let

them sag as much as possible without falling completely off. Let's just say

everyone goes through their awkward stage. 

How did where you grew up influence your style?

I definitely incorporate a lot of bead work and turquoise from the Native

American influence in Wyoming. My mom owns a "rhinestone cowgirl" shop that

in its entirety is definitely not my style but it has always brought out a very

personalized flair that is associated with me.

Who are your fashion icons? Who are you inspired by?

Anything vintage no matter how ridiculous and "out of style" it is seems

absolutely wonderful to me. I tend to sway towards the boho relaxed look of

Lauren Conrad with a little more pizazz. I would like to think that I have

the cowboy influence of Wyoming, the hippie yogi side of me, and the sex and

rock and roll side when I'm feeling it.

How would you describe your current personal style?

Boho living in Boulder. Much more relaxed than six months ago while living in

Barcelona. There it was heels 7 days a week. No matter how defiant your style,

you're always influenced by your surroundings.

What’s a fashion trend or look you would never wear?

Hello Kitty. UGH it's ALL OVER Europe. What is with that? Although, I'll also never say never. Let's just say it may be more of a halloween costume!

Thanks Emilie!
