Happy Friday! Jenn here, with a fun and easy DIY placecard project. Our post earlier this week on modern hostess styles received such a great response that we started thinking about other fun ways to modernize a Thanksgiving table. I had been planning a gold pine cone placecard holder when Camille had the idea to […]
Thanksgiving dinner is one of the only meals where I feel 100% comfortable using place cards — anyone else with me? Typically the idea of telling people where to sit, especially when hosting close friends and family, can feel a bit buttoned-up for my liking. But when entertaining large groups and out-of-towners, creating custom place […]
Ever since Adam and I got married, we’ve hosted Thanksgiving for both families at our house…and since this year will be Phoebe’s first, no doubt it’ll be an extra special day where we’ll all be giving thanks for the incredible new blessing in our lives. Although I really love the traditional aspects of Thanksgiving, I […]
Moving into a new home with all new drawers and cabinets has me (Martha Lynn) on the hunt for creative ways to store all of my beauty supplies. In my experience, the more organized all of your fun tools are, the more likely you will use all of them! Find the space to put your […]
For the second installment of our Thanksgiving table series, we have another insanely beautiful table design – this one, from the talented team at McKenzie Powell Floral & Event Design. With a background that combines gardening and graphic design, McKenzie travels the country melding her knowledge of design with a lush, romantic style she brings […]
One of the major perks of starting our Entertaining With series is having an excuse to meet some of the cool, creative people I’ve admired from afar. Actually sitting down with them in their homes and getting the inside scoop on their secrets to savvy entertaining is more fun than I could have imagined. And today’s subject, Elizabeth Winslow, is definitely no exception. […]
When I look at the pieces from my wardrobe that are versatile enough to transition from season-to-season, I realize that the camel colored leather items are my most tried-and-true staples. Both light enough to work with summer whites and linens, yet reminiscent of a cognac sipped fireside, there’s no question that it’s the perfect accessory […]
That’s right guys – November 1st has arrived and it means that we’re diving headfirst into inspiration for the Thanksgiving table, which means food, family and flowers! Today begins a new series we’ll be running through the month, featuring gorgeous floral creations from some of our favorite designers across the country. Kicking things off is […]
Now that Halloween is over, the countdown to Thanksgiving has officially begun. For a lot of us, (myself, Jeanine, included) turkey day is no longer about the turkey. But I realize that for many, the idea of hosting a vegetarian or two at your holiday table is still a scary and stressful thought. The first […]
Happy first-day-of-November, everyone! Two weeks ago, I (Claire) asked for your suggestions on which table I should make to convert my formal dining room into a functioning combination workspace/eating area. I was leaning towards a sawhorse style table, but after reading all the enthusiastic responses to the metal base table (option #3), I decided to make one […]
There isn’t anything more glamorous than a perfect set of red lips. When done right, a rouge pucker can glam up your look from daytime to evening and create a show stopping smile. If you’re like me (Martha Lynn), the countless products out there can be totally overwhelming, and fear of looking like a clown […]
We’re finally getting to put our costuming, crafting and recipes to good use! Whether you’re spending the evening passing out candy to disguised trick-or-treaters or hosting a wickedly gorgeous fête like this one by Cassandra, hope you all have a fun & freakish Halloween!
The first time I (Jen) walked into Decades on Melrose, I was literally speechless. I was picking up a vintage Birkin that a client was purchasing from Cameron, the owner of Decades and the largest collector of Hermes in the world. When I walked in, I was greeted by glass cases of vintage jewelry sandwiched between stacks of […]
Tiramisu purists may want to stop reading… this cake is a very loose riff on the classic, bringing pumpkin, cinnamon and almond flavors into the mix with more traditional mascarpone & liqueur. Of course, one bite and any protests will fade away as you sink blissfully into the cozy, creamy indulgence of this ultimate fall […]
