But even given all of that (and the four semesters of Spanish I endured during college) I still didn’t speak Spanish back in November of 2015. Rosetta Stone was something I’d been […]
We worked with designer Sarah Contrucci Smith to create these fun incense party favors. Inspired by her indigo-and-cream textile designs at Ara Collective , this favor was the perfect table dressing during her Blue Valentine Girl’s Night (see the full party here). All you need is a stick of incense, a hole punch, and a home printer to create […]
*photography by Kristen Kilpatrick Between recovering from the holidays and just-trying-to-stay-warm, hosting a dinner party may not be at the top of your to-do list this time of year.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is probably my favorite play by Shakespeare. It’s filled with fanciful prose, crazy love triangles, mystical personalities, and encompasses a unique approach to that most serious subject of love. No wonder I immediately gravitated towards this magical bohemian dinner created by Michelle Burke, who brought Shakespeare’s tale to life by utilizing […]

If there’s anyone we’d expect to throw a killer party, it’s an amazing team of professional event planners. That’s just what the ladies of Georgeous did to celebrate the boss’s 40th at a family farm in the Australian countryside. Georgie Kay is the creative director of the Melbourne-based events and styling company, and her friends vouch […]
Happy June, friends! It feels like the sneaky transition from spring to summer happened in the blink of an eye this year. It disguised itself as a solid month-and-a-half of nonstop rain here in Texas, leaving many of us to wonder if summer would ever arrive at all. Well this week it finally has, and thanks to those storms […]

This sweetly Southern pair of first cousins opened their adorable print shop, Grove Street Press, in the warehouse district of New Orleans three years ago. But their friendship spans a […]
Besides the obvious.
Pink party skirts, rosé mimosas, flowers with a pastel flair, and a table flawlessly set with delicious eats and sugary sweets. What more could a girl ask for when toasting her gal pals at a “think pink”-themed brunch? Best friends Sophie Collins and Gillian Segal show us how to do the quintessential girls’ V-day soiree that […]
