It's tough finding free time for your favorite girls, but brunch can become boring. Ladies, it's time to throw a twist into Girl Time! Check below for Guac and Glamour, my girly take on two classic outings.

Rock the Guac Cooking Party
Rosa Mexicano - Atlantic Station
Call for details: 404-347-4090

Forget margaritas and manis! Homemade guacamole is the fresh way top add a little spice to Mexican night with your ladies! Host a Rock the Guac party and invite your sauciest friends to compete in a one-hour competition. These parties can either accompany a lunch or dinner date, or you can Rock the Guac after drinks.

Rosa Mexicano also offers complimentary cooking classes with each new menu addition. Chefs Christian Plotcyzk and David Suarez have hands-on demos where class members help construct the latest creation.

Sleuth Secret: In honor of Dia de los Muertos, November's demo dishes are:
a. Callos de Hacha con pipián verde - Sea scallops with pumpkin seed pipián
b. Galletas y Leche de Arroz - Mexican cookies & milk

To sign up for the demos, call 404.347.4090. Afterwards, be sure to stick around and try some of the items you helped prepare, and don't forget to wash it down with the famed Pomegranate Margarita!

Jedal Italian Fashion
Phipps Plaza

Take your girls to Jedal and spend the day crossing one another off your Christmas list. This chic shop offers exclusive styles for men as well as women by 15 imported designers.

Insider info: To tantalize you, I've gotten co-owner Jennifer Dainelli to share her favorite Fall finds: "For women, I absolutely love this electric blue, suede boot, by Massimo Dogana!" I quite agree - the fact that it's studded with Swarovski Crystals makes it a great alternative for your girl's night outfit in the chilly weather. "My favorite from our men's collection is the Gianni Barbato brown leather boot." This is a handsome take on comfy dress shoes, and I personally adore the detailing.

Okay, so shoe shopping isn't exactly breaking news. However, these purveyors of fine Italian shoes and accessories are helping you "find your sole-mate" by offering a 25% discount on all new Fall merchandise! Just mention this "Boutique Blondie" blog at in-store checkout.
