Inspiration for Stylish Entertaining
Growing up in the South, iced tea was as common as feathers on a chicken …and the sweeter, the better! It was the quintessential “social” beverage at cookouts, reunions, birthdays, showers, and Sunday Suppers, and when I went to college I was friends with a lot of Northerners who quickly learned the virtues of sweet… Read More
One of my favorite kids party themes is a Safari theme. Maybe it’s because I love a good animal print {in both fashion & home decor} and the idea of such an exotic escape, but the safari theme always makes me happy. This birthday party was created by Katie of Petite Social, who is always… Read More
Guess what I’ve been doing lately {the past month, yesterday, today} – house hunting!

For you fashionistas out there I have a fun guest feature for you today. This Chanel themed 21st birthday was designed by Valencia of Oh Honey Events & Invitations, and it caught my eye because of it’s originality, the SEQUINS, and the way she incorporated the classic quilt pattern {and pearls} into her backdrop.

Are you an awards night junkie like I am? I love this time of year when we have the Golden Globes one week, the SAG’s another, and then the Grammy’s, and Oscars to finish it off. I get so excited to tune into the red carpet pre-show and see what everyone is wearing {remember my… Read More
