There’s no arguing the fact that when it comes to stylish entertaining, the smallest details can make a big impact.

The Iconic Hostess :: Amelie
Bonjour mes amis! I hope your passport is up to date because today we’re taking a little trip to Paris (you don’t mind, do you?). I (Ana) remember the first time I saw Amélie—it was in one of my favorite old movie theatres that has since closed down, with a bucket full of buttery popcorn… read more

After trial and error with acrylic paint and… read more

For some of you, there’s no question that the holidays have arrived (and you’ve got the sloshy snow boots to prove it!) But since a winter wonderland is pretty hard to come by in Texas, Camille and I have been itching to make our very own teeny tiny version of one. So, we set out to… read more
Saving Vase
My very favorite vase is tall, narrow, and was an eight-dollar thrift store find.
