I am pretty excited to share my closet tour with you all! This post has been a long time coming. I sent out a poll on Instagram stories to see if you’d be interested in a closet tour and you responded overwhelmingly with a yes. I was also surprised by how many of you wanted […]
Everyone gets a little reflective and nostalgic this time of year, myself not excluded. 2018 was a pretty awesome year! We traveled so much (something you all know that I’m really passionate about), and 2019 is shaping up to be another big year in that department. I shared a little about our upcoming trips in […]
If you’re still not done with your holiday shopping, let me help with some last minute gifts – all of which are $50 and under. I’ve been so good this year in getting my shopping done early, but there have been some years where we’ve shopped literally on Christmas Eve. Stress level aside, Christmas Eve […]
Before launching into my 15 instagrammable spots in Paris, I’d like to start with a few photography guide rules. I love taking pictures and finding the best spots for that one epic photo. Pictures capture memories and if you love photography, there’s nothing better than looking back on a photo and remembering what it felt […]
It’s definitely not the holidays around here without a fun and festive cocktail. Whether you made the naughty or nice list this year, treat your guests (and yourself) to Prancer’s Pear Prosecco – or just “The Prancer” for short – a sweet infusion of pear, prosecco, and rosemary. We always have a ready supply of […]
Just in time for your weekend reading, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite holiday and Christmas articles from the interwebs. These favorites come from some of my most trusted blogs that I read weekly. There’s a little of everything – holiday entertaining, decor, recipes, gift ideas, and inspiration. There are so many good tips […]
Today’s holiday gift guide is all about the beauty lover. I love finding fun and cute beauty gifts like that French bulldog cosmetic case or the Fresh face mask set. Fresh always smells so good! And I’ve been doing my brows with Benefit lately, so I definitely think every girl needs this Benefit brow kit. […]
I have to admit that when I considered buying a pair of OTK (over-the-knee) boots, I thought that I might be too old for them. Would I look like I’m trying too hard? Is this something that should be left for the under 30 crowd? My first recollection of OTK boots is from the movie […]
We all have someone like this on our gift list. That hard to shop for person. The person whose tastes range widely and they already seem to have it all. What do you get for the hard to shop for when your brain says, “Just get them a gift card already!” but your heart thinks […]
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know I’ve been working with James Avery as a brand ambassador. I was very excited when they reached out to me for this opportunity because James Avery artisan jewelry has been a part of my life since, well…for as long as I can remember. I wanted to […]
Welcome to my Eat+Stay+Play travel guide for Paris! I’m really excited to bring you this travel guide because although we’ve been to Paris before, we had never been in winter right before Christmas. Paris is magical in winter and I’m happy to share all the fun things we found to do. If you follow me […]
A few weeks ago I did a little Instastory poll asking whether you all would be interested in a “day in the life” kind of blog post and the overwhelming majority said “Yes!” To be honest I was a little surprised. I guess I don’t consider my day-to-day life all that interesting. My travel life […]
Happy Tuesday! How was your Thanksgiving? As you know, we spent ours in Paris. Not very Thanksgiving-y, I know, but it was so worth it. The weather was quite brisk, but I love bundling up in a big scarf and popping in and out of shops to see all the holiday decor and gifts. The […]
Paris is my favorite European city and I’m so happy to be returning for a third time. The Seine, those baguettes, French wine, ooh la la…(I’ve never heard an actual French person say ooh la la, by the way). I find inspiration in all things Parisian, but one thing I’m always studying is what Parisian […]
I am beginning my holiday gift guide series with hostess gifts, as holiday parties are in full swing. I LOVE holiday parties! From casual cocktail parties to dinner and dancing, it seems like there’s always something to look forward to throughout the holidays. I love to play hostess to family and friends, and even though […]
Holiday commercials have been in full swing since before Halloween, so I think it’s safe to say we are officially “in it.” Yep, the holiday season is here! I love this time of year but I’m already starting to feel the pressure of getting it all done – the Christmas cards, the shopping, the wrapping, […]
I’m pretty excited about this month’s edit because I love holiday parties, and I think it’s safe to say that the holidays are basically here. In a few days my husband and I are going to our first formal event this season, so to say I was inspired by feeling festive is an understatement. I […]
After such a fun weekend with friends, I’m still a little in weekend mode. That’s why I thought it would be fun to share my wine lover’s playlist. It’s a little snippet of some of my favorite songs to get you through your favorite bottle. It’s a mix of old school and new, from mellow […]
Ah, Vegas. The adult playground we know and love. But do you ever find reasons to go off the strip? I mean, off Las Vegas Boulevard and away from the glittering neon facades of the big name casino hotels. If you haven’t, then I’d like to shed some light on reasons why off-the-strip Vegas is […]
I thought it would be fun to share what I packed for Vegas last weekend! We looked forward to our little Fall weekend getaway for months, but planning what to pack for Fall in the desert can be a challenge (I mean you want to pack that “special” dress or fun outfit because, hello it’s […]
