Glam | These boot were made for walking

There is nothing like a bad pair of boots to set a fall outfit off and one of our favorite shoe designers Stuart Weitzman has done it once again and his new video featuring model Kate Moss says it all.

And we couldn't agree more.

Now if someone would just give me, oh let's say $600 I too could be walkin in my very own pair of 5050 over-the-knee Stuart Weitzman boots!

Vlog | Shaken not Stirred - A peek inside the lives of the Cocktails and Conversation Divas

We are super excited about a "new" project that we've got shaking in our cocktail shaker!  Starting June 1st and for the entire month, we will give you a little peek insides our lives as we build out radio show/blogging empire. (Move over Oprah, here comes Erika and Robin!).

Here is a little peek as what you can expect over the next month...



Hope you'll join us!

Dirty Martini | Week in Review

Celeb 411
Shouts out to NBA Baller Kevin Durant of the OKC Thunder for donating 1 million dollars, with help from NIKE, to those affected by the horrific tornadoes.  It was also great to hear that the National Basketball Association matched the donation.  Instead of Goin Fishing after their playoff loss this celeb is using his vacation wisely.  #CelebsGiving is always a reason to Raise Your Glass.  Still praying for all affected.

Reality Recap

The new reality series "Pastors of LA" is linking these two together.  Many will know LisaRaye but may not be as familiar with Bishop Noel Jones (also brother of Grace Jones).  Reports are surfacing that the two are involved and are playing out their relationship on the show.  Jones commented on the show that maybe Ms. LisaRaye wasn't Godly enough for him to which she matched with that maybe he wasn't worldly enough for her.  ZOINKS!  We are sure this is going to be one show we won't want to miss.  Check Oxygen for listings. 

Style Diva Adventures

This week was one of the greatest rappers that ever lived birthday.  Yep Big, Biggie Smalls, NOTORIOUS Big or Big Poppa would have been 41.  I found these videos created by David Catalano of a suburban family living the lyrics of one of Bigs greatest hits The NOTORIOUS B.I.G.  Take a click and let me know if it brings back some memories....

Miss the Show?????

On this show we did something something a little different, instead of having another fabulous guest we are switching it up a bit and giving you an inside peek at the women behind Cocktails and Conversation. In this episode we share with you why we do what we do every Saturday morning, what motivates us, and much more.  Think of it like a Diva-fied version of Inside the Actors Studio with James Lipton only it’s Erika  and Robin.

Fitness - Losing the Motivation

It's happened, I've lost my work out mojo.  Not even Pinterest is able to get me out of this slump.  I was headed to the gym on Saturday and did everything possible to NOT go.  I mean I changed the filter in the central air - yeah I REALLY didn't want to go to the gym.  So I was feeling bad and while searching the internet, well YouTube I found workout videos.  Sure I knew they existed but didn't think they were big studio productions with certified personal trainers!  I wasn't expecting Richard Simmons or anything but wow some of these chicks are just EVERYTHANG.  The one I liked the most was Tiffany Rothe - 10 minute videos that will work your waist/ab area and I tell you I'm sore two days later, sore with a heating pad mind you.  So follow this link and try a video or two, I was excited so I did three in a row - I don't recommend that if you are just getting back off the couch. Work those abs honey and have some fun!

Vlogtember 2012 - Day 1

I am a HUGE fan of YouTube and for the month of August many of the regular vlogers were doing this thing called "Vlogust" where they would post one video a day for the entire month.  Well this got the little wheels turning and I thought it would be pretty cool if Robin and I did the same thing only for the month of September...giving you a sneak peek inside the lives of the dynamic duo that is Cocktails & Conversation.  So make yourself a yummy cocktail, sit back and enjoy the videos!

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for Vlogtember Day 2!
