photo by luisa brimble via design*sponge Hi friends, hope you’re having a great weekend! By the time you read this, I’ll have been completely unplugged from all devices for 36 hours, with another 12 to go. For our next Wellness Report, I’m taking one for the team and trying out a full-blown digital detox, and […]
image from gal meets glam The last time I was in Paris was by far the most magical. It wasn’t the weather, or the fact that it was the week before my wedding… I think the best thing about our visit was the time we spent on Canal Saint Martin. The canal is by far […]
Last month, a few friends and I traveled to Sedona to celebrate my friend Abby‘s bachelorette party. For all of us it was our first time to visit, and aside from the beautiful scenery, we really didn’t know what to expect.

Y’all, the countdown has begun: we’re only two weeks away from the first day of spring! Why not pick a free Saturday on your calendar and invite friends to your back patio (or a nearby picnic spot) to celebrate with an open air dinner party? When warmer temps arrive, I want to eat as many […]
So long February! We’re leaving you in the dry cleaning bag (along with this year’s sweaters and coats) and not looking back.

2017 has been an exciting year of travel for me. I’ve been to Tulum, Mexico City, Todos Santos, Barcelona, and June marked my first ever trip to Italy. While never unpacking your suitcase offers it’s own off-the-rails kind of fun, it tends to go hand-in-hand with never buying groceries, overspending, and forgetting that the concept […]

Summer is easily our favorite season for entertaining. What’s not to love about pool parties, picnics, and endless happy hours al fresco? Our team is currently designing what is sure to be the most fun Memorial Day party of all-time, but when it came time to pick out a specific color palette, we just couldn’t decide. I […]
