Diamonds ARE a Girl's Best Friend


A friend of mine reps a jewelry line called Stella & Dot. I am not a huge jewelry person. By that, I mean my lifestyle doesn't necessarily require that I accessorize meself on a regular basis. I do a lot of yoga pants and hair in a pony tail. However, when I saw these gems, I was smitten. So, I decided to host a trunk show, invite some friends, whip up some skinnygirl sangria and shop away. In the final analysis, although I could have bought a lot more, I ended up some really nifty things. My friends did, too. And, the skinnygirl sangria was a hit!

Here's the recipe:

Skinnygirl Sangria
Serves 6 to 8

8 peaches, sliced into wedges
4 white plums, sliced into wedges
1 pound of green grapes split in half
3 bottles of Prosecco
1 can of diet lemon lime soda
1 can of club soda
Combine all ingredients into a large pitcher and add ice. Chill for an hour to set or serve immediately.
