The weather in NYC has been pretty on and off lately, but this past weekend the clouds managed to part just long enough for Micol to throw her housewarming luau party, complete with tiki torches, a wickedly strong tropical punch, colorful rafts perfect for keeping afloat while sipping cocktails, and leis aplenty. Even Gideon, her new pooch, came dressed for the occasion in a blue garland that of course matched the one his mom was wearing.
While Micol and I weren't sporting much besides bathing suits, our friend Kara showed up in a Pucci-inspired, see-through coverup (kind of like this one) that I was obsessed with, while another close friend Yanina donned a bold, bright pink maxi that gave off the perfect tropical vibe. Bright colors at a luau? Perfection...
PS - I made Micol include her killer punch recipe below, mostly because I want to replicate it asap, but also for your benefit if you feel like getting down. Enjoy! But don't say we didn't warn you...

___________
Micol's XXX Tropical Punch:

Poool party!!! I'm loving the vibe of this festive summer shindig, and I'm quite frankly insanely jealous that you have a rad-tastic pool and floatie situation at your disposal. Green, ladies. Absolutely green with envy!
