Shot of Randomness

Happy Friday Reader! Actually, I'm probably saying that to no one. Who's really reading Shot of Brandi* on a Friday night?!

Here are some of the best things around those crazy Internets this week…

My Other Bags are Prada: One of my favorite products that got a lot of buzz this Earth Day was this “My Other Bags are Prada” reusable bag!

Cirque de Soleil & Michael Jackson: Yes, Please!

Shoe Diva: I LOVE these shoes above. Wouldn’t they be adorable with a LBD? (Editors Note: I just found out last night that I don’t own a solid, sexy LBD. Color is my signature color).

Barbie’s Career Path: A nice little ditty from the Wall Street Journal to satisfy my girl crush on Barbie.

Middle Child Made: Gosh, do I swoon over a set of sassy stationary. I got a good kick out of Middle Child Made.

Shot of Brady?

Today begins the start of my wonderful, handsome, witty finance's bachelor party in Puerto Rico. In his honor, I thought I would feature a little Thirsty Thursday liqueur that was discovered by Brady's sister at Christmas - Brady's Irish Liqueur.

Brady's Irish Liqueur is the little known step brother of Bailey's Irish Liqueur. Manufactured by Castle Brands, Brady's label contains the image of a milkman delivering Brady's to express the freshness of the product (Insert milkman joke here - just kidding).


Isn't ironic that both of us are named after alcoholic beverages!?

These Are My Obsessions...

I obsess.

Alcohol Lollipops fro Lollyphile: These are so much easier to smuggle into sporting events and concerts, but I wonder how many licks it takes to start feeling a buzz!?

Fish Condo: If only P.Diddy, my college fish that lived for 3 years, had this maybe he would have lived longer (and hosted a white party).

Papyrus: Thank you to Amanda – my homegirl at Papyrus that I’ve gotten to know on a first name basis this last month. You always hook me up with the best cards, invitations and paper goods. I’ve grown a new obsession for cards and stationary thanks to you and the drool-worthy cards at Papyrus.

So the other day I walked past the Apple store on Michigan Ave and there was a girl sitting out front in a lawn chair. For a split second, a few things crossed my mind - was she waiting for someone shopping? Was she tailgating?

Then I remembered - the iPad was coming out the following morning. What a dedicated techie. Mabe I should have asked her what the iPad really does! Can any of my readers tell me!?

Regardless of what that machine can do, this video is way too cute. It gets good in the middle.

Ice Ice Pops

Walking through William’s-Sonoma this afternoon, I spotted some summer deliciousness – ice pops!

My mouth is drooling over this Ice Pops Cookbook. How yummy do these refreshing, fruity pops look!?

Don’t forget to pick up the molds as well. Be careful – some of the options out there can look a little perverse. I also lust Zoku Quick Pop Maker (also found at WS)



I know it’s a tad nipply out in the majority of my readers’ regions, but I thought that this would help bring some happy, sunny thoughts your way!

Summer will be here soon!

Bachelorette Bellini

In honor of Thirstry Thursday, my new obsession - Hello Kitty Wines - and my upcoming bachelorette party, here is the Bachelorette Bellini! I'm so excited to see a lot of my readers this weekend to celebrate! Cheers!
