1. Drink This! “Vodka Gimlet”

We were introduced to this drink by our very own love muffin, la2atl. It’s too splendiferous for words!

Ice
2 ounces vodka
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon simple syrup

Fill a shaker with ice. Add vodka, lime juice and simple syrup. Shake well and strain into a highball glass over ice cubes. (Simple syrup is made by combining 2 parts granulated sugar with 1 part water. Simmer, stirring, over low heat, until sugar is dissolved. Chill before using.)

2. Watch This! “Becoming Jane”

Love muffins, who would we be here at Lovebscott.com if we suggested things to our readers that we didn’t believe in? That’s why we’re not going to recommend you see some of the bigger films that drop this weekend. Instead, we’re going to suggest Anne Hathaway’s new film, Becoming Jane. Why? As a period piece, it looks beautiful and true to the time. Plus, it gives you a look into the little known love life of one of literature’s biggest so-called spinsters—Jane Austen. It may be a chick flick, but it’ll be worth it.

3. Wear This! “The Shirt Dress”

Literally go from day to night in the shirt dress. It’s classy, professional and casual all wrapped into one. Dress it up (or even dress it down with Lacoste’s polo style shirt dress) and turn heads!

4. Hear This! “Only One”

Check out Fantasia’s third single from her album. What do you think love muffins?

Fantasia—Only One

5. Do This! “Shake and Pop!”

Check out DJ Valida and DJ C-Town as they spin some of the best underground and electronica at Zanzibar in Santa Monica tonight! Maybe you think electronica and techno comes to mind, but there are some major beats that we know our love muffins can appreciate if they gave it a try. They both spin all around LA, and Valida is known in major music circles. If you want to expand your normal weekend happenings, keep this in mind!

And don’t forget to shake and pop this weekend!
